It's been raining here for like 3 days straight, but I think I'll go out and drink...always a good plan! When I was a kid we always had a little shin-dig and played darts (my mom is British, in case you were wondering).
What is the "traditional" way to celebrate Guy Fawkes? I only know my moms way.

Sounds like fun! I was actually in London for Guy Fawkes in 2000, but was busy with a conference and didn't get out much. Hopefully one day soon I'll get a chance to live over there for awhile, being them are my roots and all!
(  Note to self: Wear fire retardent underware, and possibly a bulletproof vest when I am around omisan.)

I love it that my birthday is on a weirdo english holiday. 
So if we had a day like Guy Fawkes, it would be kind of like "UniBomber Day" or something, right?

Yea...but I don't think I would want to get a Unibomber Day card in the mail, if you know what I mean.
