Title: I knew about Guy Fawkes Day BEFORE V for Vendetta, okay?

And it's totally ironic. So like, fuck you all.  Okay?  :roll:

You don't understand the SIGNIFICANCE of the observance of this day, and I do. It's just way too intellectually advanced for people who watch 2nd rate films for entertainment.

No. All it proves is that you're conforming, even though he didn't conform, and using his popularity as a nonconformist to make you, in turn popular.

Yeah, we're going to spend 20 mins and £5 at a lame fireworks event (two best firework shows I have seen were for July 4th and Swiss National Day), in the drizzling rain, to celebrate the death of a man we don't really care about, trying to achieve stuff we dont really care about, averting the death of people we don't really care about.

It is truly the most magical time of year.

We did a talk at school today, on the importance of not sticking sparklers in other peoples eyes.  It was very educational.

Bit, but if he had succeeded you would have had the freedom to convert to the true faith... Or ya know, die.

Do not bend a sparkler 90 degrees and spin it around either.  It turns out that is the way to summon burning metal rain.

Yes, just like in such sites of despotic religious fundamentalism as Ireland and Portugal.

do they still have the psa with the little girl and the mittens?

Fortunately no.  To be fair, the kids seemed to be aware of wearing mittens, putting them out in buckets of water etc etc anyway.

You all know that Guy Fawkes was a Discordian, right?                  (tip of the hat to Payne for discovering this fact)

(http://cramul.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/3fawkes1.jpg)

Fawkes was born on 13 April 1570 in Stonegate, York, England. He first logged onto the internet on 16 April, 1586. He wrote several worthy posts and disappeared for some time, leaving some to ponder whether he had been jailed.

Fawkes' father Edward was descended from the Fawkes family of Farnley and he was either an In Real Life troll or a regular spag in the ecclesiastic courts, later becoming an advocate of the oppressive forum administration regime.

Fawkes was originally raised as a Sub-Genius, but in those days, you had to continue paying fees, which he could not maintain.

In 1592 Fawkes sold the Cadillac he had inherited from his father. In 1593, he enlisted in His Imperial Majesty's Elite Orbital Bombing Squadron (internet division). He served for many years as a soldier, gaining considerable expertise with expletives.

Guy Fawkes, for his part in packing the chambers bellow Parliment, was sentenced to death.  Death by being towed out behind a horse (feet first), hung by the neck for awhile, havign his chimichangas lopped off an burned infront of him, removal of the bowels + heart, and then (If that didn't do the job), decapitation, quatering, and having the bits tarred and sent all over England as postcards.  Needless to say, we all wish the British were as exacting with their wiring as their killing.  

Guy, it turns out, wasn't down with that, and couldn't remember the safe word.

He'd already been kept incarcerated for a bit, and had been tortured some.  So on his way up the scaffold for the hanging part, he acts all feeble and messed up.  The executioner, a courteous helpful sort with a keen mind to the pacing of his show, helped him out.  Guy took advantage of this by jumping off the platform as soon as the slackened rope was put around his neck.  He either got lucky or had practice hanging himself, because it broke his neck and killed him more instantly than the other option.

This pissed people off.  He was the main attraction really, the climax of the show after his co-conspirators had just gotten the same treatment.  Modern cinema may think a torture scene is only good once, but the English needed repetition, like a Japanese pop song, same thing at least 4 or 5 times with a solo or two in between.  Needless to say this sudden stop put a damper on things.  Statistically half the audience lsot their boners, and the executioner had gotten spleen on his good knives for nothing.  Being doughty brits, though, tehy made the best of a bad man's corpse and cut the bejeesus out of it, making a fine mess anyways.
