Tonight we celebrate the 412th anniversary of the Gunpowder plot. A failed assassination plot by a group of traitorous Catholics, the most notable of them being Guy Fawkes. Fuck the Pope, Long live King James!
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes, guy, t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.
By god's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.
And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!
Have fun and stay safe.

Nov 5th is my mother in laws b-day, I recite this in my head every year when I buy her a wad of scratch tickets.
