Re: Cinco de Mayo
Happy Cinco to you as well.
Del Taco has a special for 29 cent tacos today (hard or soft shell). They are usually 59 cents. Feel their hot sauce packets are better than Taco Bell - I like their hottest called Inferno.
Just had a dinner of home made enchiladas. We are staying close to home. A good plan on a drinking holiday.

Re: Cinco de Mayo
I work at a tequila bar and I can tell you 99% percent of the people in last night were white. And this is in a particular area with a high latino population. We were packed well to wall with white people wearing sombreros...

Re: Cinco de Mayo
It's a holiday based on one victory that the Mexican Army won over the French. However, the French won the war and occupied Mexico until they took what they thought they were owed. I think it has to do more with marketing cerveza and tequila to Americans.

It's an excuse for a party... Why do we celebrate St. Paddy's Day? PARTY!
In Mexico 16th of September is a bigger celebration, Victory of Spain day.

Re: Cinco de Mayo
Laffin, what a bunch of whiny haters!
You dont want to celebrate then sit down n eat kidney pie!
Since 2005 Congress has called on the President to mark Cinco in this country. Now the celebration is alot like oktoberfest or the Chinese new year for our nation. One more celebration of the fact we are all from someplace else somewhere back in our past.
Independance day is different in Mexico, would seem odd if we celebrated that or say France's Independance day.
Anyway, celebrate dont hate.

Diez Y Seis de Septiembre just doesn't roll off the toungue like Cinco de Mayo.
It's nonsense but having seen the reverence St. Patrick's day gets among our Irish friends here, you can't fault the drinking industry for trolling for yet another holiday gold mine!
At least it isn't based on total mind numbing horse shit, like kwanza!

Wife and I took our Daughter and two Granddaughters out to lunch at Chili's. I wasn't really feeling up to speed, but we all enjoyed the outing abunch. Celia's Dad is Tex-Mex. We also celebrate Von Steuben Day, since she was born in Germany.

Re: Cinco de Mayo
The Truth about this Holiday:
Most people don't know that in 1912 Hellman’s Mayonnaise was manufactured in
England . In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipme nt of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York . The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
The people of Mexico , who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

Re: Cinco de Mayo
I was in Mexico on May 5th for the third time in my life (It's our wedding anniversary). I had to remind the Mexicans that it was Cinco de Mayo. It's nothing down there.

Re: Cinco de Mayo
ttomp-
But other than that how ya feeling? Just think, if the mexicans had been as harsh as some texans are feeling now you might just could have been a Katrinian yourself! SHOW US YOUR BOOBS!
The sinko de mayo story is clever as long as folks are not culturally estute. The folks on the OTHER border go coo-coo for that bland tasteless stuff mayoniase.
