Once again, I must commend the honorable gentleman from Neasden, for his
eggsellent research for the benefit of the entire claaaas (including me).
Unfortunately, my English History books are packed away and impossible to
access quickly; otherwise, I would have attempted to check the accuracy of
my statements.
Also, I believe that Jack Ketch practiced his vocation during the latter
half of the 17th Century, I believe, and he would not have had anything to
do with the eggsecution of Fawkes.
Whether or not the quarters were treated in the same manner in what would
eventually become "Jack Ketch's Kitchen" remains in the darkness at this
time.
However, we do know that his head was displayed for everybody to see on
Traitor's Gate.
Also, I do remember the name of Robert Catesby as one of the
co-conspirators, although I don't recall what happened to him.
I believe Fawkes was actually caught in the act of lighting the fuse, or
something along those lines, beneath the Houses of Parliament. Humbug,
your turn!

[1] Guy Fawkes was *not* caught lighting the fuse; he was just checking to
make sure the stuff was still there. Everyone else involved had quite wisely
run away. Unfortunately for him, they were unable to warn Fawkes that they
had been rumbled. He confessed under torture and many of the others were
shot in the raid which followed his confession on 8th November 1605.
[2] Why are you so obssessed with the Irish? Fawkes was a Yorkshireman ...
his sympathies in these islands were with the Scottish. But he was an
officer in the *Spanish* army.
[3] He was hung, drawn and quartered ... along with the only other two left
alive to do it to ... like William Wallace long before, but a great deal
less heroically. And waaaaay long before Jack Ketch cashed in on centuries
of grisly executions.

**cough.....**ahem** "He was 'HANGED', drawn and quartered....."
He was "hung" in the modern day vernacular refers to the large size of his
crotch sausage, as in the joke:
Did you hear about the two little old ladies who dug up the body of Tom
Dooley, to see if he was really "hung"?

I, too, respect Mr. H and his eggspertise. I truly admire him...I do.....I
do!! However, I don't want to be treated with disrespect and contempt
because I'm an American (I'm also an Englishman; I have dual citizenship and
TWO passports to prove it), and because I happened to slip up up on a point
or two in my eggsplanation to Mi chelle (and others) about Guy Fawkes Day.
I was speaking off the top of my head and didn't check an assumption or two.
I'm not going to serve as somebody's "scapegoat" when he gets the "blahs".
Displacement and projection of frustration and anger is ubiquitous; just
look on our highways!
There are right and wrong ways to approach mis-understandings of this
nature, especially among "friends". For eggsample, the "I'm right and
you're wrong" approach to problem solving really doesn't stimulate affable
feelings, especially when the parties involved are eggstremely sensitive
people.
I actually left teaching in 1992 because of "wrong ways" of approaching such
differences. I taught a one lesson in evolution (World History) taken
DIRECTLY from the course's text book; unfortunately, I was supposed to know
to hold that up as an eggsample of "corrupt liberal humanism" because I was
teaching in a Christian Fundamentalist college near Asheville, NC (" Look
woman...do what I say....I'm the boss....the Bible says so!"). They had
told me at the job interview that they were "middle-of -the-road" type
Christians.
The reaction from the students and their parents was so severe that the
college told me to buzz off at the end of the term; they told me I wasn't
the "right kind of Christian". Because of that disgusting eggsperience, I'm
not ANY kind of a Christian!
Incidentally I took them to court and won a nice settlement!
Finally, I sent Mr. H. several messages last night to "break the ice" and
to apologize for any bad feelings that may have surfaced.............I
reiterate them now.

Eggscuse me please; I was referring to my Gentleman's Club:

Our headquarters is located in Breezy Corners, and we have a beans and
cabbage covered dish dinner every month. May I put you on our prospective

Actually I saw a program on the History Channel (A 3-hour marathon
called TALES FROM THE TOWER about the Tower of London) that gave a bit
of sketchy detail about Guy Fawkes and such. (Mostly about the
supposed gory details of his torture on the rack!) I've turned into a
bit of a history buff in recent years and that is one of my favorite
channels now. It's hard to know what *really* happened...everything is
tainted with the test of time and of course the political slant that
the producer of that particular program sees things from! At any rate,
I knew NOTHING about it before and am always glad to get a bit of
eggjamacashun. But as it's now Nov. 6, we can put GF away for another
year and it would suit me fine!

Mmmmm, yup! Don't know what's its called, but I loved the stuff! It
was shaped like pop bottles and had different flavored liquid
inside--cola, root beer, etc. The wax was DEFINITELY the best part!

Well...he isn't much of a cook, really. That's what he SAYS but I
think he might be holding out on me, cause he does an absolutely
wonderful plate of ham and cheese omelette and chips that he whips up
on the days when I'm really beat. Which has been fairly often these
days. And my bloody can opener [tin opener] has been acting up so I
can't use it but he has no problem, so he's my right can man.
I've been fine, Lil Bro...just really tired a lot of the time. I've
got a new job, so working lots extra because of the training--between
that and keeping his highnyass entertained, haven't had as much time

Sounds definitely suspicious to me. Force him to cook under a threat of
a loaded candle. And when I visit, I wanna sample some of those omelette
& chips.

Awww... Well, never mind. Hope you're enjoying the job. Don't spend too
much time entertaining Gary, we English aren't used to that. You're
right, it is hard to 'play' on the pooter. You keep falling off. Try
jumping from wardrobes and swinging from chandaliers instead :-p

Pedant no.2 would like to point out to pedant no.1 that 'it's' is /not/
parenthesis in the plural. It's 'it' in the plural. ;)

Pedant no. 1 would like to reply to pedant no. 2 (and so he's going to)
that "it's" is not "it" in the plural, it's "it is" in whatever those
things are called where you miss out a letter and put an apostrophe
instead. So there :p
"It" in the plural would be "them".

Ah. That's twice I've been wrong. It's a contraction, AFAIK, and it's in
the possessive, I think. Whoo, learning - I love it :)
