gettin the bonfire ready and fireworks set.



Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent To blow up the King and Parli'ment. Three-score barrels of powder below To prove old England's overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

ah yes, a holiday celebrated mostly by people who have absolutely no idea what it's celebrating, nor what the original intent was.


I'd love to know where the idea of guy fawkes acting alone to overthrow the king and let anarchy rule comes from.

He was part of a catholic group (he just happened to be the one caught) who wanted to blow up parliament and kill the protestant king.......so they could replace the protestant govt with.....a catholic govt, which most likely would have been even more oppressive.


learn some history before you make a dumbass of yourself

55 years ago today, Doc Brown stood on his toilet seat to hang a clock, slipped, hit his head and invented time travel.
