yeah, that's the tradition, now people seam to burn anything now that remotely resembles Fawks.... evenso the celebrations are good and probably one of the most celebrated after Christmas due to it's popularity.

So, poor bastards who are afflicted with looking like Fawkes should hide out on that night, then?

Personally, I couldn't give a rat's ass for Thanksgiving. It's nice in that I get a few days off from work, but that's about it. Thanksgiving, to me, is the 2nd most overrated of the major holidays (Easter being the 1st.)
Agreed....

Thanksgiving is a crock of shit anyway...."um ya we are here to steal your land and drive you onto reservations.....would you mind awfully?"

Should be called ThanksTAKING....

Long live Halloween!!!
