Happy Cinco De Mayo Ya’ll
Colorful dresses, paper flowers, lots and lots of beer! Ahhh, that’s right folks the 5th of May is here! This is predominantly a southwestern holiday that is actually a Mexican holiday but has been adopted by the gringos (white folks) because we’ll use any excuse to party down.
Cinco De Mayo is often called the Mexican Independance Day…well, let’s clear that up right now. It’s not. If you want to celebrate that with them you’ll be drinking your liver into a coma on September 15th ;o)
Here’s the quickie rundown of why this day is important:
Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.
That’s right…we’re celebratin’ because they beat the living shit outta the French. *snicker* If you want the whole story click here. Anyway, that’s a little history for ya…why are you still here? You should be out buying some salt and lime, get the hell on outta here and have a safe Cinco De Mayo
