Are You Doing Anything for Cinco De Mayo?

[vailpass]

Is Cinco De Mayo celebrated at all in your part of the country? Here in Phoenix non-Mexican people celebrate it big time as a reason to drink. The Mexicans here pretty much don't care aobut it.

Anyone doing anything for Drinko De Mayo?

[BigCatDaddy]

I'm jumping over a fire.

[vailpass]

:) I definetely asked for that.

[Otter]

Gonna open carry my 9mm and walk around with an ICE t-shirt.

[ClevelandBronco]

Since my wife is actually from Mexico, no, we won't be doing anything.

[keg in kc]

I'm making tacos. That's about it. I'm not much of a "holiday" guy.

[ElGringo]

Well, other than banks being closed and no school, down here it is just another day.

[Mr. Laz]

I had mexican for lunch. She was delightful.

Well, It is the last day of finals, and our class usually has some kind of pot luck on Finals Thursday, so we're doing it Cinco de Mayo style. One lady, who used to live near LA ALWAYS cooks and brings in Mexican food (she's not Mexican), so she's in cooking heaven today. Having no time to make anything, I signed up to bring plates, plastic cutlery, and napkins.

[88TG88]

nuthin

[tooge]

Well, since I'm of German lineage, I will probably go crappie fishing, make something killer on the grill, and have a few coctails. I haven't ever understood why I would celebrate Cinco de Mayo, or anyone else in the USA that wasn't of Mexican desent. I mean, do you celebrate Tet, Canada Day, the Hopi new year, etc?

[Buck]

Cinco de Mayo is really almost a fake holiday, but I'm still going to drink Mexican beer tonight and probably eat some Mexican food.

[rageeumr]

My wife pulled a fast one on me. She asked if I could watch the kid tonight, but she asked like 2 weeks ago and didn't mention the date. She just said "the Thursday after next". Dammit.

[tooge]

come to think of it, maybe I'll make fish tacos out of the crappie. Not because it's a Mexican holiday, but because crappie make fantastic fish tacos

We celebrate it just because it's a good excuse to have some delicious foods and some margaritas. We don't care about what the holiday really means!

Mexicans I know here don't celebrate it. They beat the French in a war. It's not like it's even their Independence Day. That's not until September.

Cinco de Mayo!

Has the new season started yet?

Hell, I still don't understand why they celebrate it. In Mexico we do nothing. And from my broken Spanish translation of the meaning behind it, you are celebrating a battle, and this is the weird part, but I think someone told me Mexico actually lost the battle.

EDIT: Nope, according to wikipedia, we won that battle.

[ElGringo]

Has the new season started yet?

Had me confused too, so I had to look it up, new season still won't start until July.

[keg in kc]

Has the new season started yet?Not until July. I'd never watched the show, AMC just started replaying them from the beginning a few weeks back and now I'm hooked.

[listopencil]

Gonna smuggle a truckload of illegals into Arizona. Don't worry, I tipped off the local cops. The ones that don't get shot will be back over the border by the weekend.

[vailpass]

Gonna open carry my 9mm and walk around with an ICE t-shirt.

LMAO You can do that here all day long.

[seclark]

woke up w/the shits, so i've got that going for me.

I wanna' party with this guy.

[vailpass]

It is 100% made up holiday as far as us gringos are concerned. for many years we would head down to Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) Mexico for Drinko de Mayo and spend it getting ****ed up with a few thousand other Arizonans. Now they have managed to turn their own country into such a danger zone that we haven't driven down there for the past 2 years.

I'm making adobo grilled pork tacos, we'll drink margs out of mason jars poolside (its about 100 here today) but this day feels like a total letdown compared to Rocky Point.

[tooge]

I wanna' party with this guy.

Oh, I party plenty. Just don't need to "celebrate" some other countrys holiday to do it.

[vailpass]

LMAO Montezuma for you!!!!!!!

[Predarat]

Playoff hockey, Nashville Predators vs Vancouver Cannucks! After the game i'll be partaking in Margaritas, if the Preds lose alot of them.

[vailpass]

My father in law lives in Austin, TX. Every year he has a New Year's party at his ranch. Each year he picks a different country and that countrie's native alchoholic beverages are what is served. In addition they countdown to midnight according to the time zone of the country being celebrated. Some years that means everyone is in the bag and passing out while the sun is still up.

[vailpass]

Hell, I still don't understand why they celebrate it. In Mexico we do nothing. And from my broken Spanish translation of the meaning behind it, you are celebrating a battle, and this is the weird part, but I think someone told me Mexico actually lost the battle.

LMAO Yep, you won that one. Mexicans here in the Phoenix area by and large dont' give **** about Cinco. For that matter Mexicans here don't drink Mexican beer, they drink Bud Light. The largest percentage of Mexican beer sales in Phoenix are to the gringos.
Anyway, happy Cinco de Mayo to you even if you don't care aobut it.

[FAX]

My uncle Morris tells me that, on Cinco De Mayo, it's traditional to put on a bologna costume, call a couple of hookers, slather them with Hellmann's, and make a giant sandwich out of yourself.

Ate at Taco Bell.

[Ugly Duck]

When is Cinco de Mayo?

[NewChief]

Had a few friends over. Made a taco bar and skinny margaritas:

2 oz. silver tequila
1 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 oz. agave nectar dissolved in 1/2 oz. warm water.
Splash of blood orange or clementine juice.

Delicious.

[HoneyBadger]

Gonna open carry my 9mm and walk around with an ICE t-shirt.

9mm? I got an air-soft gun that is more powerful.

[|Zach|]

Not really. Not in the mood this year. There is just a lot of crap I need to get caught up on.

This isn't one I celebrate that much anyway.

[NewChief]

And yes, I'm fully aware that it's a gringo holiday, and most actual Mexicans couldn't give two shits about it.

It's not even my favorite "mexican" holiday, though. That would be Dia de los Muertos, which we do celebrate at my household, because we love the idea and iconography associated with it.

[Psyko Tek]

guys it's Mexican St Patrick's day
a reason for those of us that do not care ( or want to) about the history of the day
it;s about the party
happy drinko de mayo all

[MahiMike]

I drunk on margaritazzzz right now!

[rockymtnchief]

I put in for a transfer and the whole town went into an uproar that I was leaving. I had everyone telling me they were going to miss me. So...someone put an ad in the paper for everyone to come to Dempseys Tavern to have a going away party for Rockymtnchief at 7:00. I was the only one to show up. Paint a big "L" on my forehead.

I did volunteer "Minute Man", Boarder Patrol work.

Yes sir. Let's just say that when the Vice President of the largest security company in the world calls you on Easter Sunday at 0930 and asks you to come back to your old job, you are in a position of negotiating supremacy.
I've had a 4 day orgasm. We signed my contract last night at a bar after I made him re-write it... Twice.

Day Of The Dead rocks. Skeletons are cool.

Cinco de Mayo? Psshaw. That's Mexican for "Another Fake Holiday For White Americans To Use As An Excuse To Get Shitfaced". Much like St. Patrick's Day turned into. In the good old days, people would get trashed on New Year's Eve. Now there's New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day, Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo, every Friday and Saturday in July and August, Daytona 500, Super Bowl, any time there's a full moon... Oh, yeah, now we can probably add Osama Death Day, LOL.

I suppose I was multicultural though, if you consider a Sicilian dude driving to a Native American casino to eat Chinese food. (The food wasn't bad. I threw $30 at the slots to appease the redman.)
