At least this stupid shit is on a Saturday this year. Walk onto any patio of any Mexican restaurant this Saturday and ask people to tell you why Mexicans celebrate on May 5th. Perhaps one person in 200 might be able tell you. The Mexicans don't know the answer either.

I loathe this shit- despise it.

Funny thing is, while in Mexico ON the 5/5 date, there wasn't a damn thing going on it's purely a BS Bar inspired holiday for sloppy binge drinkers...

Down here the police will put more units out looking for DWI's tomorrow through Monday. Which is not a bad thing. It is fun to see how many will call in sick to extend the weekend festivities.

It would make more sense if they called it a celebration of Karl Marx’s birthday (which is May 5thJ. I can see the marxists and socialists getting all liquored up for that one.

And just where are the SJWs with their "cultural appropriation" horse shit? Huh? Go on, you pissing, whining children- shut this shit down.

Oh, wait, you're on the patio with a margarita. Never mind, you hypocrites.

I guess it's appropriate that Sunday 5/6 is World Naked Gardening Day. Big Grin

Cinco de Mayo strikes me as super urgent, like the British are coming! or the sky is falling!




Set the controls for the heart of the Sun.

What chaps my ass is that Cinco De Mayo typically has a bigger parade than Independence Day, here in Jerkwater.

It was originally established to celebrate the Mexican victory over the French in the battle of Puebla, May 5 1862 where the outgunned Mexicans beat a force twice superior to them. Why some Americans revere this foreign day of observance in lieu of American Holidays more relevant, well the beer companies are succeeding with their marketing campaigns...

A group of cranky kindergartners could defeat the French.

No nap time? OK, let's invade.

I feel the same way about St Patrick’s Day. I hate stupid drunk idiots in large crowds.

If you need a holiday as an excuse to get shitfaced and eat tacos, then I don't want you in my life.

In Ireland, St. Pat's is a holy day of obligation.

I'll drink to, "Remember the Alamo".

I too cannot be around sauced up drunks.
