Snaking the HIVE

[Relique du Madde]

Yeah, I too would have guessed you're talking about Fawkes... Ofcourse, I don't know, maybe you have some other 5th of November thing on the other side of the ocean...

We do... This year it was called Election results day. Usually it's nothing special. Fact is, if it wasn't for V for Vindeta American's wouldn't even know who Guy Fawkes is since at most he only appears in text books for at least a few paragraphs.

See, when we rebelled against the Crown Washington forbade the celebration of Englands Anti-Catholic/pro-British rituals on the basis that they went against the ideals announced in our Declaration of Independence. Of course, the Canadians might still celibrate that tradition (though most likely not in Montreal).


What I kind of think is a little sad is how this years election seemed to have shot all references of the Day of the Dead (November 2nd) from television. I was wanting to see the usual 5 minute long fluff piece they air about it on the local news. I guess the only way America will only really care about the Day of the Dead during an election year if we have a latino Presidential candidate who celibates our ancient traditions.

Right now my GF and I are taking bets on how the media will handle the next Kwanza and Black History Month....

Are most of the people on Enworld absolute numpties outside the Hive? I've just read more of Rev's recruitment thread *shakes his head* maybe the Hive has just raised my expectations too much of what forums can be.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Yes.

numpties?

Apparently it's British for "idiot."

Well, this depends on whether you count Monty Python as "old style" or not. The show sometimes erupted in hilarious violence.

As proof:

YouTube - Monty Python "How Not To Be Seen"

By the way, megamania, if you watch it until the end, you'll finally get the giant foot reference from waaaay back!

Cheers, LT.

Hey Rev... the PbP looks neat. Too bad I don't have access to the Pathfinder stuff. Another time.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Mega, how much are you currently paying for your internet sevice?
