Other than drinking...

what do you know about Cinco de Mayo without googling?

Post some facts here.

I know that it's not Mexico's independence day as people think ..... but other that, not much.

I know that it's the 5th of May, beyond that, not much.

I think it celebrates some military victory. I assume the Mexicans won, but over whom, I have no idea.

Its a good day to work at a car wash... We used to get some huge tips back in the day from all the drunks coming through.

Mexicans expelling the French and the Americans assisting the Mexicans is a real hoot since it was the French, who with their assistance, aided us in our independence.

I've been known to wear a big hat on that day! But that did involve drinking....

I know that being in Texas its as big/bigger than St. Pattys

Cinco de Drinko

It's the sinking of a Mayonnaise cargo ship in the Gulf of Mexico and it's celebrated every year with crazy drunkenness.

I know it's impossible to get in and get a platter of nachos at the local "Chevy's" restaurant (local tex mex joint).

Yeah, but you have Triscuits, cheese, a microwave and beer. No chevys needed.

Sounds like a party!!!

I was going to make a comment about waxing "her" lip also, but I didn't want to push it...

It's actually called the Battle of Puebla, when the Mexicans won a decisive battle against the cheese eating surrender monkeys in the state of Puebla. It's also a holiday more celebrated in the US than it is in Mexico. And just like in the US, it is not a federal holiday in Mexico either.

If all goes well I will be in or on a plane to Kyrgstan

Biermuncher, did you just possess EdWort? Stop that.



The lead-up to Cinco de Mayo in San Antonio is a fair of sorts simply called, Fiesta. It's a boozefest with the occasional live band worth a listen.

Seriously how does an Airline whos planes are always packed to the gills and charging 3500 a seat each way go bankrupt?????????

350 passengers
x 3500 a seat
$1,225,000 per flight + Cargo fees........

sigh

I know it is the best time of the year to eat Chinese or go to the German restaurant that's packed.
