There is a “person” in a black cape appearing on the left side of the main page. Did you put him there or were we hacked again?? On my machine the floating dollar bill is right through his face…:?

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Anyone? Bueler? Bueler?

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot ;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God’s providence he was catch’d,
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!
Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !
A penny loaf to feed ol’Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar,’
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head,
Then we’ll say: ol’Pope is dead.
Lancelot Andrewes
THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER
There’s a plot to beguile
An obstinate isle.
Great britain that heretic nation.
Why so slyly behav’d
in the hopes to be saved
By the help of the curs’d reformation.
There’s powder enough
And combustible stuff
In thirty and odd trusty barrels,
We’ll send them together
The Lord can tell whither
And decide at one blow all their quarrels.
When the King and his son
And the parliament’s gone
And the people are left in the lurch
Things will take their old station
In the curs’d nation-
And I’ll be the head of the Church.

You cheated!
…wasn’t me; I’m a Branch Railroadian friar…
Warren Mumpower said:Yes, I observed the late Mr. Fawkes (or a reasonable facsimile thereof). Now, should anyone plant a few barrels of gunpowder under the Senate of Canada, I doubt anyone would notice the loss, let alone care.

Now, Chris; be nice…One of our fine Senators is my supplier of Candian Flags. She sends them to me whenever I need some, to hand out to young Canadians like you, in order to hoist them up a pole on Canada Day.
I fly one year around.
Of course, Chris; where you live, they probably would object to anyone having a flag pole…!!! …such a proper neighbourhood…tisk, tisk…
Where else could we put old hairdressers, hockey players or political bag men, if we didn't have a Senate ? I hope there may be a place for old Branch Railroadian friars too, in the Senate; will you nominate me please....!!Thomas Jefferson said something to the effect that a little revolution now and then is a good thing for a nation.
South of the 48th, it might get you talked about…
Around here we send our miscreants to the Senate in Washington, DC, where they can’t do any harm…

Quote:Actually, there are quite a few flagpoles in our neighbourhood. One of them flies a very tattered Newfoundland banner (and if I were a Newf, I'd string up the committee that designed that abortion). I mean to set up a pole myself one day, budget permitting.[br] [br]

I had a passion for the Wolf Girl…that was one of the best strips out there…
Anyone remember the name of the railroad in the strip, and who owned it ?
I have a box car lettered for it…
Maybe so, Chris, but I’d still enjoy the pay…!!!
L’ll Abner was a great strip…too bad Al Cap had to die early, and no-one carried it on…but then it was Al that made it; and probably only his mind was of the type that could write the script !!!
I suggest General Bullmoose be nominated as a write in for President of the US of A....
....that would clear the air, and with "Fosdick" as head of the FBI, you guys down South could have your "Good old US of A" back in stride...!!!!Chris Vernell said:Not only is he too good, he doesn't sleep enough either.
