Tradition....

"Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up 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!"

Marking the day

Yes, I'm watching "V for Vendetta"

It's fitting for the day.

*Chuckle* If things had gone differently 200-something years ago, would Colonial children be burning effigies of George Washington in July 4th bonfires and asking for a "Penny for the Georgie"??
