We built an effigy of Guy Fawkes at school to burn in the bobfire, but they told us that we couldn't (and since we already asked the HR, we lost the element of surprise)
So I'm just going to blast the 1812 overture and send a barge full of makeshift fireworks out onto the pond. And we will PARTY
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November,/ The Gunpowder Treason and Plot... / I know of no reason/ Why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget.
well, i was going to write at least some of the quote, but i see that there are already cool people taking care of it for me... i wish i could be cool... curses
