CINCO DE MAYO!!!!
Ok, somebody gave me shit about cinco de mayo when I made the St. Patty's day thread, so to them I ask, where is your Cinco de Mayo thread, huh? Right here. Being made by a semi-drunk Scotsman (ethnically) celebrating a holiday he probably shouldn't be celebrating has it's had no impact on him. And on that note, I bid you all HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!!!!!!!!!! Drink your fill of tequila, margaritas, and corona! Puke and rally, puke and rally!
P.S. I'm not a drunk, I swear to god. However, my friend Steve is and he happened to be having a bbq today with plenty of free alcohol. I couldn't help myself. 
The funny thing is, not many people really know [i]why[/i] Cinco de Mayo is a holiday for Mexico.
Nor do they care.
This, actually, is not that funny. I lied.
(May 5th celebrates Mexico's only military victory, which was over...haha!...the French. Some people would argue that the Alamo was a military victory for Mexico, but those people are technical assholes.)

yeah, exactly what Aurelius said. It's celebrating a battle won against the French in a war that they ultimately lost. Kwanzaa is an african holiday around christmas time that I've no idea if they actually celebrate in Africa, but I guess they do celebrate it in some African American homes. Dont' know anybody that actually celebrates it though.
wow, really.. too bad it's may 6 here. I could really use a little tequila.... too bad I'm shit out of money...
Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of china
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom.
Fucking Kwanzaa is a politically correct holiday.
[CENTER]a million bucks[/CENTER]
Yeah, I forget it's tomorrow already in parts of the world. Hell, there's really only an hour left of today left on the East coast of the US. I'm surprised nobody made this post earlier.
It's actually to celebrate Mexican heritage. The spics chose May 5th because of that victory (first and only).
i went to a cinco de mayo party at my favorite watering hole yesterday afternoon. louise made salsa, dave brought margaritas and dominic made a spicey chili and fresh warm tortillas. the showcase beer was casta. try the wheat. apparently it's the only one with any merit.
the holiday, celebrated in mexico, is to honor their victory of the french at the battle of puebla.
maggie rita is such a delightful temptress!

[B]1. Corona sucks. Drink Dos Equis (XX), instead. Or Tecate. Or Modelo Negro. There are many fine fine Mexican pilsners. Corona is not one of them.
2. Kwanza is an African-[i]American[/i] holiday, created in the 1970's. There is no similar holiday in Africa. It lasts a week long and celebrates seven traditions of African-American culture.
3. The Alamo was a military victory for Mexico. [i]Ergo[/i], I am technically an asshole. [/B][/QUOTE]
1. amen. even if it *is* negra modelo. i'd like to add pacifico clara, also from the cerveceria modelo.
2. yes.
3. always remember: there is no basement in the alamo.
el presdiente with th egold label is really muy buen.
estas ok, tuffy? aqui, mas cerveza para ti. bebe. todos. excellente. sientas te mejor?
muy beun, is the shortened form of muy buena. i learned spanish from my argentine friends who shorten every word the use. style? or grammatical inconsitency? you decide.
cuantos anos hablas tu espanol, tuffy?
we party harder on cinco de mayo then our hispanic friends do. to them its another passive holiday like columbus day or something.
never underestimate the urge to get smashed in moden america.
ps. shit my avatar turned out good for once. :eek:
Then again, I might be wrong.
plastic's got the right notion, folks. any day is a good day to party.
si, tuffy, estoy en acuerdo contigo. i would only consider myself a hack at conversation. my spanish would never fly as autentico.
i think you're absolutely right. have you ever wanted to go to pamplona and run with or against the bulls? where is our boy trypdwyrd? he'd have something to say about papa hemingway and this manly enterprise conducted annually in julio, el quatorze de julio.
shit, man. six seven hours on the cult message boards and i'm as drunk as any silly gringo in brownsville on a hot lazy afternoon swilling tequila and mezcal. whoa!
