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.

402 years and still holding a grudge! I love the UK!

Wow. Guy Fawkes. I lived in London (Golders Green to be exact) when I was 7 and 8 years old and I had completely forgotten about Guy Fawkes Day. The title is ironic in that way.

Kimbell,

I have no knowledge of such topic. Therefore, I recommend you incorporate some sort of explanations as to why you appreciate them and stuff. Then I'll be more likely to check them out.

That said, that's just the opinion of someone who would check in on the thread but not contribute much. But it's a start for you, to help you weigh your options. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

nice Jeff Goldblum reference

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 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.

Totally confused by this post. I assume all these things are on wikipedia? And by thread you don't mean a forum post...

I was thinking of the lounge tagline naming discussion actually. I just came up with the suggestions from memory of various baloney ancient and modern.
