3. Good morning!

Personally, I prefer Donut Holes. Less mess as I eat while driving.

6. I feel like burning something too.

Here is a traditional chant, although with different motives:


Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see 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 catched
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys,
God save the King!
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!
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.
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!

7. I seem to be in a fighting mood today. I refuse to answer my phone again.

I just told off one republican supporter. Told him Don't come whining to me when things get worse. He should have known better than to bait me about political issues this morning.

8. I'm in hiding today.

No TV, no news, no phone, no newspapers.... just DU where I can commiserate with my comrades.

9. I've always wondered why Guy Fawkes Day became Gunpowder Day.

I had no idea it was National Donut Day, though. I thought every day was doughnut day.
