Hello fellow /b/rothers and others...

[Orcus Fieres]

I want to wish you all a happy night in commemoration of our greatest ancestor, Guido Fawkes! Have a Happy Guy Fawkes Night everyone.

Remember, remember the Fifth 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 Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence [or By God's mercy] he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Hulloa boys, Hulloa boys, let the bells ring.
Hulloa boys, hulloa boys, God save the King!

A penny loaf to feed the Guy.
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A f*****t 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' Guy is dead.
Hip hip hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah!

The full rhyme for you enthusiasts though only the first verse is common. Have a fun night everyone. Do good to our predecessor's name no matter what your definition of good is. smile

Whooo, now I remember what the first part of the thing I heard was from! One of my friends said it but I drew a blank then. Yay burning things!  

[Orcus Fieres]

Good to see someone other than myself taking an interest in Guido. Though he failed, he tried hard. crying  

[Ty Gwynnia]

Props to him. *raises fist respectively*  

[Orcus Fieres]

Yes, yes... Poor Guy, Burned to death... Seems painful.  

[Ty Gwynnia]

And people still burn wicker or wood-made structures of a body to this day.  

[Orcus Fieres]

Yes! The actual celebration is usually called either Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night because people burn things. It seems like a fun thing to celebrate. I have to put that on my bucket list. 'Celebrate Bonfire Night at the UK...'  

[Ty Gwynnia]

That and "Go eat some of their chocolate." It's supposed to be very sweet, unlike our American brands.  

[Orcus Fieres]

Yes, that and the versions of games they get are better than American version. The PAL versions.

I know I'm late on this again but I have to share it. On November 14 Operation: Overlord went into effect and 4chan pointed its Low-Orbital Ion Cannons at Tumblr. Tumblr faught back and both sites were supposedly down for a while. A union between Tumblr and 4chan was formed out of this experience. 4chan made its first friend. smile  

[Ty Gwynnia]

...What? Explainy, plz.
I don't go on those sites yet, I will when I don't need my brain as much anymore.  

[Orcus Fieres]

The Low-Orbital Ion Cannons are just programs made to destroy websites. 4chan used the LOICs to down tumblr for a while and tumblr supposedly also got 4chan's website down. They've formed a sort of union.  

[Silas Parrish]

They keep talking about that whole thing on FJ...I'm lost.  

[Orcus Fieres]

FJ is just 4chan's illegitimate child and it loves its daddy so much that it can't stand to be compared to it. FJers get really mad when they're compared to 4chan but they all know where their supposed OC comes from. Yeah, FJ has been talking about it too. I've explained it to the best of my abilities. I wouldn't know if Æ has anything more about it.
