Originally posted by SeitseI remember Guy Fawkes when I was a kid, my friend and I would take boxes of tom thumb firecrackers along with our lego men and we'd attempt to use the explosive power to launch the little plastic guys into the air. They didn't get very high up, but it was fun as hell. Then we broke the tom thumbs open and poured the gunpowder all over the lego, and well, burnt plastic. I used to have a blister on my thumb from using the cigarette lighter over and over again. Good times.
Happy Guy Fawkes day! 🙂
So, anybody celebrating by burning some Catholic relics?
(we obviously had lots of other, different kinds of fireworks too)

We interrogated the Lego men in traditional Catholic manner suitable for the 16th century while keeping up the façade of convivencia.
