04 Nov 16 - 10:12 AM (#3818096) Subject: RE: BS/Folklore: Trumpfires From: Dave the Gnome With someone asking "How would you like your stake..." I opened the thread hoping it may be a reference to the age old tradition of setting fire to farts. Now that would have belonged above the line! :D tG |

05 Nov 17 - 06:37 PM (#3886955) Subject: RE: BS/Folklore: Trumpfires From: Jack Campin And Valmai Goodyear (big cheese in the Bonfire Society scene in Lewes, Sussex) reports on Facebook that this year six of the seven societies set fire to a Trump this year, and one of them burnt a Trump for the second year running. Both are unprecedented. I think the one that didn't burn a Trump burnt a Harvey Weinstein instead - surely the UK has enough villains of its own? Or at least let Europe into the fun and burn Rajoy? I didn't go to any bonfires this year, but did see a Trump mask in Edinburgh city centre on Halloween. |

Now that is a tradition as old as chamber pots and recorded in 1750ish in song. In the book by Thomas D'Urfey of "Pills to Purge State Melancholy" (not the less political and more well known tome of similar name and author) There is a song about it that has a chorus "Piffing on his face". And in those days you could choose your politician to piff on! |

The only one that comedically goes with Trump is Johnny Depp's first Pirate of the Caribbean. Along with tiny red flags a Hurricane flag and Russia the display is complete. I suppose I could make my own 4 ft Putin for better effect. |
