I said oh-ee-oh-ee-oh! ICE! ICE! ICE!

There may yet come a day when I don't respond to someone's declaration of

"Brr! It's cold in here!"

with

"There must be some Clovers in the at-mos-phere!"

But that's not a day I look forward to.

Two points I'm pondering:

1. Would anyone outside of Britain give a crap about Guy Fawkes' Day if not for Alan Moore?

2. Will the writers get what they deserve? I hope so. They produce the content that keeps me me fangirling, and they deserve better percentages of sales. That much I agree with. Maybe I'll post something longer in Teacup later. Usually strikes piss me off, but I'm finding myself supporting this one.

Psst. I think you mean Alan Moore. ;)

(And I learned of it from Daria, thankyouverymuch!)

Ugh. I always, always mix those two up! Damnit.

I thought about mentioning Daria, but did anyone mention the poem in Daria? I know Guy Fawkes was one of the funniest characters in a really funny episode, but people weren't going around quoting "Remember remember" after it was on, no?

No, I don't think they mentioned the poem.

However, I will count Daria as where I learned about the poem, because a friend I met through Daria fandom was the person who taught it to me.

Okay, point. Although you have to admit that there's been a lot more references to November 5 since the release of the V movie.

Without a doubt.

I blame Scott. ;)

Although, I have to admit being a tiny bit envious. I know we have the 4th of July, but I'm all in favor of holidays involving fireworks and bonfires.
