November 6, 200619 yr Why not the full rhyme at least? Remember remember the 5th of November, The Gunpowder, Treason and Plot, I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow: By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip hoorah! A penny loaf to feed the Pope. A farthing o' cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down. A [bleep] of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar. Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead. Hip hip hoorah! Hip hip hoorah!

November 6, 200619 yr I'm really confused. Why do some of you think that it shouldn't be celebrated? Some of you really seem to hate the fact that the day is celebrated. Why? I'm American. Sorry if this is an ignorant question.
November 6, 200619 yr Whilst I think it's just another funny Brit thing, I am of the opinion that it's a quaint little celebration of the triumph of Western sovereignty over the forces that would seek to destabilise society and overthrow authority. Do you Brits still burn Guy effigies? Varrock Library: Shattered Sky | Silent Thunder | The Emperor's FinestAstri @ MythWeavers

November 6, 200619 yr That doesn't say much about V for Vendetta, that only says you should watch more movies. ^.^ Man, I'm being mean today. i watch about 3 movies a day on my comp so iv seen alot:) its still would be in my top 50 for good movies Post in the movies you've last seen thread then. And watch better movies. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
November 6, 200619 yr Do you Brits still burn Guy effigies? We did. I made one out of a jumper, two pairs of tights and lots of newspaper. He was strapped to a child's chair. We beat him pretty extensively before mounting him on the pyre. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
November 6, 200619 yr The thing i dont get about today is, we celebrate catching a person who tried to blow up parliament, but we dont have a day to celebrate catching Saddam... I mean, catching someone who was gonna blow up part of London, or catching somone who potentially could blow up half of the world? World > London... IMOThe difference being that Saddam didnt actually have any WMD's Had a really good fireworks display at my friends house but didnt have a bonfire this year. So alas no Pope or Guy effigy burning :cry: Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

November 6, 200619 yr Savages! Don't you have better things to set on fire, like chavs? I dressed my Guy like a chav, if that's at all the same. :P
November 6, 200619 yr Whatever the movie is like (I haven't seen it yet), the rhyme surely rocks. So catchy! ;d Cool that you posted the entire rhyme, Necromagus, I didn't know there was more to it. "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."

November 6, 200619 yr Ok, I am officially lost. You celebrate by burning Guy Fawkes? So the celebration is kind of an anti-Guy Fawkes day?
November 6, 200619 yr Ok, I am officially lost. You celebrate by burning Guy [bleep]? So the celebration is kind of an anti-Guy [bleep] day? Guy was attempting to blow up parliament, but got caught, so we burn him every year. I'm sure nowadays if someone were to blow up parliament today, we'd have people letting him.
November 6, 200619 yr Savages! Don't you have better things to set on fire, like chavs? I wouldn't worry, they often stumble onto the fire in an alchopop induced drunkeness, or misfire rockets at themselves. :P "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
November 6, 200619 yr Wow, my mum just sent me an email containing this: [My grandma's name] was just telling me about her working in Guy Fawkes' family home, Farnley Hall, it is up above Otley [a place near Leeds, UK]. When she was there it was owned by Major Walter Horton-Fawkes and he wouldn't allow anyone on the extensive estate to celebrate Guy Fawkes night in any way. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

November 8, 200619 yr Off topic (sorry): @ thedepressedsquirrel, the link in your sig doesn't work. It says the thread doesn't exist. "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."
