...cause it was the day before daylight savings time ends this year in the US and if I had kept on top of things I could have slept in another hour.

Neil Gaiman tweeted for us to burn things.

you literally did not remember, none of you

I remembered, watched V for Vendetta last night.

We did this last week already.

I remembered. Set my clock back before I went to bed.

Not remembering and not caring are two different things.

I remembered. Then I watched TV.

The time of the dinosaurs!

meh, I don't normally have anywhere to go on Sunday Mornings. So when I turn the TV on and CBS Sunday Morning is not on yet, I get up and change my clocks.

remembered. Tried to convince the bar tender that it was actually only 1pm and I still had an hour to drink.

Now I'm here, not as hungover as I could be.

I think I'll set my clocks back to what it was though out of protest.

November 5th has been taken over by Bank Transfer Day... Because the best day to change banks is on a Saturday when no one is open. OWS is full of smarties.

I celebrated in my own "special" way.

One hour of extra sex with the CBC? Or are we talking the "special" way that involves a blowtorch, some nails and a whole lot of male screaming?

According to any legal entity questioning, I was in a bedroom receiving much pleasure and alcohol. That's my alibi and it's airtight.

So it could be either way, then.

Nearly all of my clocks set themselves automatically. The only thing I have to change is my car.

My parents usually celebrate with a bonfire and a selection of fireworks, although we don't burn a Guy.... this year, it kind of fell through the cracks.

Wait, I thought only Brits celebrate Guy Fawkes Day? O_C, you limey git, you've been holding back on us, haven't you?

Anonymous hackers score win over drug cartel
http://www.smh.com.au/technology/te...core-win-over-drug-cartel-20111107-1n2i6.html




Anonymous members previously threatened by video to release names and addresses of taxi drivers, journalists and police officers who they said acted as "loyal servants" to the cartel to see if that would prompt arrests.

They said they were "fed up" with the cartel's actions, particularly the alleged kidnapping. For much of the week, people claiming to be Anonymous members have gone back and forth saying the hacker action was canceled or would go ahead.

Anonymous, a loosely knit group that has attacked financial and government websites around the world, had in September claimed responsibility for orchestrating the shutdown of several Mexican government ministries, but did not give a reason for that action.

Barrett Brown, a Texas hacker who posted details about the planned action, said via his Twitter account: "I will be continuing the fight against the cartels".

Brown said via a post on Pastebin he would avoid revealing names that would trigger the ire of the Zetas but still intended to send information to the German newspaper Der Spiegel for confirmation.

"In the meanwhile, I will be going after other cartels with the assistance of those who have come forward with new information and offers of assistance," he said.

What kind of new car did you get?

Remember, remember, the fifth of November - the day anarchists the world over chose a Catholic monarchist as their icon.

Anarchy is like libertarianism in the same way that wearing a ski mask to 7-11 is like wearing a ski mask on the ski slopes.

Both shamelessly stolen from other more witty writers.

. . .I just really like the movie.

Every time one of those shitty masks is sold, WB gets a cut.

I'm sure there are a lot of unauthorized reproductions on the market, actually.

I like the book a lot more, but the movie's okay. It is hilarious that WB likely makes a very cool profit from these anarchists and anti-corporation guys.

Jesus burning Christ, I almost got a heart attack of joy when I scrolled through the tread and saw Shego posting...

Remember, remember to check on dates, it's 2013 and not '11...

Also, Chinese kids make these masks in bulk. So your wannabe unique anarchist statement (just like everyone else's) promotes big business, forced/underpaid/child labor, and conformity.

I thought @stienman was a time-traveller, since the thread said "Nov 6"

This is what the 5th of November always reminds me of.

Nov 5 happens to be the anniversary of my hire date.
So of course I remember it.
