Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot ;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and 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,
let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys,
God save the King!

Today is Guy Fawkes day in England! One of those random holidays thats on the calandar, but you dont know exactly what it is. Partly its a bunch of monarchists who celebrate the fact that Mr. Fawkes failed his attempt to kill the king, and mostly its an excuse for the rest of the country to set off tuns of fireworks, in backyards, parks and on the streets. And it is traditional to make a Guy Fawkes doll and burn him on the street in effigy.

So currently I'm sitting in the kitchen, watching tuns of fireworks going off outside, and it is predicted that it will continue through most of the night. Wait...I think the neighbors just shot one into our yard. :)
