Remember, remember, the Fifth of November

[Jace_Mereel]

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 Parliament.
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!

For grins and giggles.

*Farts in parliament's general direction.*

 

[Anvil]

Mmmm, V for Vendetta. Awesome movie.

And yes, Guy Fawkes Night.

A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot 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 hoorah!

I wish the whole place had been blown sky high.

 

[El Stormo]

Would have made for a whole lot of tea vapors across Europe.

 

[El Diablo Fantastico]

No it wouldn't. The importation of tea didn't start 'til like 50 years after the gunpowder plot.




Oh yes, I come back from the ether after many months just to talk about tea. And now I return to whence I came! Wheeeeee...

 

[El Stormo]

No it wouldn't. The importation of tea didn't start 'til like 50 years after the gunpowder plot.

Really? I was never interested in the whole Guy Fawkes deal, so I don't know when it happened. Didn't think it was that old though.
