on vacation

Well, I'm 'off' this week. Boring.
My son had some friends over last Friday and they decided
to have a flour fight at 3am in the living room.

When they tried to clean it up, they used water!
Flour+Water=Paste... arghhhhhh

The Gunpowder Plot

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot."

of course, most Catholics will not forget this date.
This started (yet another) reign of terror on mostly
English Catholics by James the 'Sixth and First'.

My parents wouldn't let me attend 'Guy Fawkes night'
celebration because they commemorate the burning at
the stake of poor Guy Fawkes.
