Happy 5th of November. Either blow something up, or keep clear of these guys; depending on your preference.
If you’re confused, then head either here or here and learn something today.
Oh, and don’t set fire to this fellah. He’s not happy about being burned with faggots.
Mood: blah
Music: nothing yet…
Book: Susanne Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell… yes, still… I’ve been busy making other books!

17th century freedom fighters! Yaayyyyyy, Papists!!
How odd to hear a fairly rabid Monarchist not only voice his support the notion of the overthrowing of the British Parliamentary System — or at the very least, a Bicameral Democratic one — but support of someone characterized by a Punch cartoon as a “Fenian”.
You, sirrah, are a study in complexity.
We’ve found a witch, may we burn him?
“Him”…?
>“Him“…?
It’s *Guy* Fawkes, not *Chick* Fawkes.
Can one be a witch and a *guy* (or “Guy”, for that matter)?
And please don’t confuse “Chick Fawkes” with “That chick is a fox! Hubba-hubba!” Clinical studies have proved that this is totally different.
>Clinical studies have proved that this is totally different.
Where is this clinic?
It’s… around. You know, as in “word gets…”
Also, it’s staffed by “they”, as in “they say that…”
And stop avoiding the issue: Can one be both a witch and a guy (or “Guy”, for that matter)? Aren’t you actually referring to a “Wizard” or “Warlock”?
The Pope made me say it.
At least I theoretically have a chance of being Pope. Apparently I’m not good enough to be King of silly old England. Or Canada for that matter, according to nine old judges in Ottawa.
TOILET!
(Sorry, the Pope made me say that, too)
(Either that, or I panicked because of the penguin on top of the television set.)
I don’t think you can be both a witch and a guy. You can be a witch, or a warlock, or a guy: Pick one.
I suppose you could be “Guy, the Warlock”. As in, “Guy the Warlock is in the toilet”.

…whimper
And to think this post started so innocently.
Do they even ‘celebrate’ the 5’th of November in Canada?
No. There’s nary a celebration of the thing here. It’s all the American Hallowe’en (and people don’t even know how to spell the damned thing!).
What’s the thing about ‘three steps to perfect computer-life’, by the way? I suspect it had to do with three basic steps of cleaning out crappy files, useless Windows programmes, and then de-fragmentation, but I don’t recall what I said over on Guy’s blog. Does that sound familiar?
Yeah, it was about second hand computers running slowly and how you could improve their performance.
You said it was what you were going to do for Guy over in Spain.
Ring any bells now?
Ahhhhhh. Yes. I remember now.
Three steps is a bit of simplification, but, still.
