Tomorrow is Guy Fawkes Night. So let's blow crap up and watch V for Vendetta aight?

Technically we don't really celebrate it here but I'll take any excuse I can get for setting off explosives. And watching awesome movies.

I don't have explosives and I don't have V for Vendetta.

I'll go soak myself in gasoline so I burn better for the fire display.

w00t, made this vid of all my bombs this year in the spirit of November 5th!

Happy Guy Fawkes day

Edit: YAY POST #1000!

Breakdance time!

Remember, Remember, the fifth of November
gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

Hmm, I don't have anywhere nearby that I know of where I can blow stuff up...

I'm getting ready to go to a big public fireworks display nearby. Apparently it's set to music, which should be interesting

I'm American, and don't know enough about the holiday to do anything.

Silly British holidays.

*Starts overture 1812
*Starts San Andreas

Explosions here i come!

It's a real holiday?

Heh.

I find this i PERFECT time to host a server running
EDWARDS FIREWORKS MOD!

Sunday is the worst night for bonfire night, I can never be bothered going anywhere to see anything.

A fire engine turned up a few hours ago to put out a small bonfire started in the field at the bottom of my street by some cheeky youths. That was interesting.

Turn the movie into a drinking game where you drink every time a word starting with "v" is said. During V's little speech at the beginning, we lost count at 43 drinks.

Drinking games where you die 10 seconds in are not fun.

Were you planning on taking a drink every time someone who is not V is wearing a Guy Fawkes mask?

At least that'll get you through until the final scenes

Yes, it's a real holiday. England celebrates it by having parades and such...at least they used to, don't know if they still do. I just saw a small clip on the History Channel about it.

Common things are bonfires and dressing up I beleive too.

And whatever Brits do.

Actually, Americans could go as Brits for trick-or-treating!

pretty sure they burn mock-ups of guy fawkes.

I just finished watching V for Vendetta. It'll probably always be one of my favorite movies, although I still find myself skipping the chapter when Evey is in the "prison" as I find the whole thing to be incredibly boring.

And the pope.

"Effigies" is the word you're looking for.

I filled some balloons with increasingly larger amounts of MAPP gas, propane, and butane, respectively, lined them up along a clothes line in the backyard, then set of a loud, bright chain reaction of flaming gasses that grew larger with each new explosion until the flames reached 10 feet into the air and scorched the fronds on the palm trees, as well as all the foliage in the surrounding area.

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, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A ****** 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.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

-lawl British.

Can't really call it a holiday as their is no day off.

Bonfires - check
Dressing up - ? Never seen this happen, except in re-enactments

Eat Toffee, pie and peas, jacket potatoes, toffee apples and parkin.
And of course have bonfires (I'm sure it's just an excuse to burn rubbish, it's the only time of the year you never get fined for burning waste in a smoke free zone) and let off fireworks
