"Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason that the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot..."
That's a common rhyme heard today in England where it is Guy Fawkes day, a day to remember the failed plot to blow-up parliament and overthrow King James I of England in hopes of ending the intolerance against Catholics in the country. Interestingly, more people seem to remember the rhyme from the movie V for Vendetta instead. You know, now that I think about it, V´s alliterative introductory monologue upon meeting Evey would be a great way for my students to practice the /v/ sound which does not exist in Spanish.
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage – no mere veneer of vanity – is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one-day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.
See what I mean?
Anyhow, I excersized volition and voted absentee last week. Fortunately, North Carolina allows ballots to be scanned and emailed back because otherwise it probably would not have gotten back in time. Well, I guess we'll find out the results tomorrow. I´m sure the media will be voraciously vexing us with a vichyssoise of horse manure like a venue of vicious vultures. I just hope victory goes to the most virtuous one.
Hasta luego.
Hasta luego.
