I waited and waited, and it didn't come...

November 5th here in a few days, where they'll be a ton of fireworks and bonfires, many of which will have an effigy of Guy Fawkes on top of it.

1605 it was, and we've never really forgiven the papacy for supporting the plot to overthrow the English parliament. Ya don't mess with the English and get off easy.

I asked Mat to change my undertitle to "NO MAAM" but he's not playing.

i'm pretty psyched about november. i'm going back to school for the first time since graduation (which has been all of 6 months, but whatever). my friends have congregated in nyc on a few occasions, but i haven't been able to go. it will be good to see them.

As far as a naming convention goes, we could do something like over in Micro. Over there, we take nominations from the populace of suggestive, implicating, nonsensical or otherwise humorous quotes that have been made during the course of the previous month's posting. We could pretty easily adopt a version of this, except for movie quotes or whatever.

i refuse to recognize Guy Fawkes' existence, Wat Tyler is my main man

i'm pretty excited about this month. I'm going to drink so much Pinot Noir that I may end up getting sick of it. My work is having a pinot tasting on friday, I'll be going to Pinot Days(first time they are hosting it in chicago. Here is a link to what's gonna be there), and then my tasting group is having a blind california pinot tasting at the end of the month. The only downside to it all, is that it's going to be almost 75-80% cali pinot that I'll be having instead of oregon and burgundy. I'm gonna make up for that with drinking a whole bunch of burgs on my own [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I had been thinking of things dictators or other self-serving maniacs would say or do, like Nixon's Outside Agitator's thread, or Stalin's Quantity Has a Quality of Its Own thread, or Hitler's The Lounge Solution thread, or Pinochet's The Disappeared Thread, or Westmoreland's Pre-Dawn Vertical Insertion thread, or Genghis's Salting the Earth thread, or Phillip Morris's The Science Isn't In Yet thread, or Tyson's Cartilage Chomp thread. You know, a thread where excessive formality or worries about content would be looted, peed on, burned to the ground, poked in the eye like a wayward Stooge, dissembled, sabotaged, and have its pets tormented. All for the betterment of humanity. It's not like we'll run out of villains or hypocrisies for the concept anytime soon, and thinking them up might be fun.

Or it might be too violent or whatever. Just a cute thought, I figgered.
