Happy Guy Fawkes' Day

What did I do at school today? I went to the construction site for the new high school, and I stole a bundle of straw. The effigy just finished burning. It took me a full half-hour to make both my effigy and a mess on my living room floor. I also almost burned down the house, so I'm glad my parents weren't home. I had considered naming it Hedwig, then Gina, then Nunn, then Wolfowitz, but it is now nameless, despite George W.'s face on one side and our Wolfy's on the other). It actually has a third, invisible face, but not one for me to divulge.
Actually, I started thinking of a passage from Dao De Jing as that third face burned:

Heaven and earth are impartial;
They see the ten thousand things as straw dogs.
The wise are impartial;
They see the people as straw dogs... (from Feng and English translation)

It's too bad David couldn't burn his own effigy today. Anybody else become a pyrophile?


p.s. Purely by accident, the effigy had a quite large phallus.
