i was wondreing if people in the us celebrate guy fawks night on the 5th, or is that only in the uk? !!thecraigc!!
I've heard of it. Isn't it about the only day of the year when it is ok for a girl to ask a guy out for a date?
If I remember correctly, it was a failed attempt to overthrow the British government in the early 1600's. One of the conspiriters, Guy Fawks, was captured and hung (I think). Now that day is celebrated in England with fireworks and bonfires and such. We don't celebrate that in the U.S. though.
Honestly i don't think anybody really celebrates it any more its more about the fireworks rather than celebrating a failed attempt to blow up James VI of Scotland and his merry men Well back to my evening of jumping at the sound of fireworks
Too right they make me jump but after 4-5 non stop hours like today you get used to it the local racecourse has a show every year and the things sounds like bombs
@p4_tt -- yeah i like those, the 1s in glasgow green blow the air away so you cant breath !!thecraigc!!
i guess, being on the other side of the pond from you thecraigc, it would be like me asking you if you celebrate cinco de mayo........ a mexican holiday. but as far as the Nov. 5 thing, can't say i have ever heard of it.
Learn't about it in British History but it doesn't seem to be a popular outside of Britain. Not sure if it's even that popular there nowadays. @ Saugmon Regular comedian aren't you?,LOL (I am totally cracking up). If you're reading this thread and you haven't seen the Halloween thread in the Safety Valve Forum then you ought to have a look.
when you say that,do you mean it in a sexual way or drunk way?i was just wondering if there was a sexual holiday?
LOL, Guy fawkes sounds similar to sadie hawkins day! A buddy of mine at work wants to establish a new weekly holiday called: Fu** a friend friday! He's even got it down to if you have to do an ugly gal,then the following friday you get a hot babe! No 2 dogs in a row. How about that holiday!
