Wannabe Brit fat faggot Pat is back. For those who don't know, the 5th of November is Guy Fawkes' Night in Great Britain. On the 5th of November 1605 there was a failed attempt by a group of Catholic terrorists to blow up Parliament with gun powder and reinstate a Catholic monarch to the throne. Guy Fawkes was the name of the first dissident caught. He was tortured until he gave up his co-conspirators, which he eventually did. They were all hung, drawn and quartered. Since then, Brits get together on the night of November the 5th to watch fireworks displays (symbolic of the explosion that never was) burn an effigy of Guy on a bonfire, eat sausages and drink hot cider. It's the most English "holiday" there is.

There's an old children's nursery rhyme about it, which is what Fat is referring to -

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

Guy Fawkes, guy, t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.

By God's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.

And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!
