Remember, remember the 5th of November...

If you haven't seen V for Vendetta, you won't get this joke... I do highly recommend the movie to anyone and everyone, it's one of my favorites!

They are referring of course, to Guy Fawkes Night which is November 5th. What is Guy Fawkes Night?

Per Wikipedia: Guy Fawkes Night (more commonly known as Bonfire Night, Cracker Night and sometimes Fireworks Night) is an annual celebration on the evening of the 5th of November. It celebrates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of the 5th of November 1605 in which a number of Roman Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, England. Festivities are centred on the use of fireworks and the lighting of bonfires...

It's also the date they're estimating that Wee Kat might be making her first appearance. Now I know that the due date is just an estimation... but with a crazy pagan mommy who LOVES her fire circles, a mildly Pyromaniac father with a fireworks obsession, and possibly a Guy Fawkes Night birthday? We're in so much trouble. Add to that, that her middle name will be Brigit- who is essentially a fire goddess in Celtic traditions...

I'm giving birth to a future arsonist! GAH!

Okay probably not, but what a cool due date for V for Vendetta fans LOL

Just for fun- here's Tim at Halloween dressed as V (the sexy witch next to him is obviously ME!):


Tonight is the big fireworks night here in little Ortonville, so we'll be in our backyard tonight watching the show... and of course the fireworks always make me think of Guy Fawkes Night... so there's the point of this incredibly random blog!
