We did this last week already.
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.
I celebrated in my own "special" way.

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

So it could be either way, then.
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.

Anonymous hackers score win over drug cartel
http://www.smh.com.au/technology/te...core-win-over-drug-cartel-20111107-1n2i6.html
In a post written in Spanish on the group's Latin American blog, the members said they had called off the action after the Zetas met a demand to release a kidnapped group member, and that: "We can say that, while bruised, he is alive and well".
The hacker group said the person was freed with a note warning that if information were released, the cartel would make the kidnapped member's family suffer, and kill 10 people for each exposed name.
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.

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.
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.
I knew my students would amount to something one day.
I thought @stienman was a time-traveller, since the thread said "Nov 6"
