Enjoy the festivities everyone! For some reason this has always been my favorite among British holidays.

A day when some movie buffs (like me) drag out their copy of "V for Vendetta" for its annual viewing.

The oft used mildly sarcastic quote used being: 'Guy Fawkes, the last man to enter parliament with honest intentions.'

kdpierre A day when some movie buffs (like me) drag out their copy of "V for Vendetta" for its annual viewing. Great movie. I just saw it again. I never looked up "Guy Fawkes." Can anyone care to give me a very quick and short explanation.

Guy Fawkes was part of a group of English Catholics who conspired to assassinate the Protestant King James I of England (successor to the "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth I and the man who commissioned the King James Bible) by blowing up the House of Lords with a large amount of gunpowder. Fawkes was caught underneath the House of Lords guarding the explosives and was arrested. Later, he and his co-conspirators (the survivors) were tried for treason and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night

That celebration always has sounded a little strange to me. Be like if we had a Timothy McVeigh Day(Oklahoma City bombing 1995). Or a John Wilkes Booth Day,Lincoln's assassin. Come to think it, some of our " the Confederacy was right,the South should have won" boys would probably like that idea!

Redskinluver: Be like if we had a Timothy McVeigh Day(Oklahoma City bombing 1995). Or a John Wilkes Booth Day,Lincoln's assassin The difference being that Guy Fawkes Night celebrates something that didn't happen, something prevented.

It used to be a big thing down here. We called it Cracker Night, but people started doing silly things with fireworks and they were subsequently outlawed. Now it's just another day and only history buffs like myself really know anything about it.

But why the celebration? Was Guy Fawkes trying to do some good by blowing up the House of Lords? Maybe the USA should have a Benedict Arnold day.
