Remember remember

Remember, remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, twas 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 catched
With a dark lantern and lighted match.
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the King.

Just got back from watching "V for Vendetta" with an assortment of wonderful college kids.

I now know far too thourgholy what the term "Intellectual Crush" means.

It was good.

MOOP!

(And I am working the line "A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having." into my novel if it kills me --11000 or so words down, 39000 or so to go!)

Think of it like this - you start spelling "Thorog" then halfway through change to "rough".

Or simply, thorough = tho + rough.

NB: I have a lot of trouble with this too. I made that up to remind myself how to spell it.

It drives me MAD when people give me helpful things that I will never get out of my head. But they usually work, so it's all good.

(I just learned that SatUrday is SatUrns day, which helps, curse it!)

Thank you Tho. *sighs*

That's ok. I'll continue to drive you mad.

PostScript: Six years later, this is still what I use to remember. So uh, yeah. Damnit.
