    So, I'm a HUGE fan of V for Vendetta and of course Guy Fawkes is mentioned.... so yeah. I now celebrate Guy Fawkes Night!



    Remember, remember the fifth of November,
    The gunpowder treason and plot,
    I know of no reason
    Why the gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot.



    That movie had some of my favorite quotes of all time. Actually, on my quotes section on facebook... I pretty much say just watch V for Vendetta.

    I'm not celebrating it tonight because my dog hates fireworks and I can't leave her alone in the house when they're scaring her so much.
    Burning effigies and setting off explosions is all quite fun though.

    I've been changing my status to different things from the movie all day. I'm just going to watch V for Vendetta tonight because I'm not allowed to shoot fireworks in city limits... booo!

    Oh well! I'm stoked!


    p.s. I bought a mask and a hat and I've been putting them on at random times. haha


    Oh, check this out:

    V's introduction.

    This morning I had no idea that this was today, so I was extremely confused to see a guy sitting there at a table reading the paper with a Guy Fawkes' mask on. I figured it was one of the usual strange sights you see everyday on campus (like the guys dressed up in full-body spandex suits, or the gorilla costume guy). Makes more sense now:slight_smile:

    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 (or by God's mercy*)
    With a dark lantern and burning match.
    Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring. (Holla*)
    Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
    And what should we do with him? Burn him!

    I love it!

    V is one of the best comic book hero's ever! Alan Moore is a Genius!

    I didn't get to do anything. :[
    And I didn't hear any fireworks going off or smell any smoke, so I don't think anyone else in my neighbourhood did.
