Yeah, we have a bonfire night, where people make effigies (sp?) of Guy Fawkes out of stuff like newspaper and straw and things, and then stick them all on a huge bonfire. And there's also a fireworks display.

No, we don't celebrate Guy Fawkes by burning him, we celebrate the foiling of his plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament using barrels of gunpowder by burning him!
"Remember, remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot..."

Not really. It's more commonly known as Fireworks night, as most of the population actually forget the entire point of it, and are setting off fireworks for about 2 weeks either side of the 5th, much to the annoyance of everyone else. My drama teacher blames the dad of one of the girls in my group for all the fireworks where she lives because her dad sells them!

hehe, that's funny.
Speaking of fireworks, my Steph scribbled in Katie's planner (Different Katie) that this weekend we're supposed to smuggle illegal fireworks over the border for fun. And overthrow the petty government. I worry about her.
It sounds fun! ;D

Sure! Though you'd probably be labelled as a terrorist if you helped with the overthrowing of the petty government part.
But the illegal fireworks would be most dandy! (I had a dream where I smuggled illegal fireworks into a fancy hotel and blew up 1/2 of New York... Which was sad, because they had Lord of the Rings toilet paper...

The strangest part of that dream isn't that you blew up half of NY, it's that there was LotR loo roll....

Yeah, it was a wrench to use it... though it felt kinda good to tell sauron to kiss my butt, and then make him do it...
Just kidding, folks, just kidding...
I stole a roll of it, too.

LOL!!!! I would've told Legolas to kiss my butt, cos he annoys me, and I think it would be an interesting experiment into actually finding ways of making The Meerkat We Do Not Speak Of show some expression in his face...

You know, actually The Meerkat We Do Not Speak Of has the most moldable face I've ever seen. It's like his skin's made of elastic. Have you seen how many wrinkles he can get in his forehead?
Crazy.

That doesn't mean he actually uses it to express feelings sincerely... Hahaha, his skin's going to go saggy and wrinkly when he gets older!!
