Nice. :)

Well it's 12:03 Eastern Standard Time so a Happy Cinco de Mayo to all on NSG :)

Nice. :)

the time warp or the thread ;)

I've got to work today (or tommorow, if it isn't yet the 5th where you are). :(

the time warp or the thread ;)

Both. :p

I'll stay indoors for the day. Watching TV of course to see how many drunken riots the police have to put down.

For those, like me who are wondering what this day is about.

I'll be volunteering at the hospital, studying for my chemistry midterm, and eating a bunch of frozen food. My neighbor will probably be having a celebration, so I'll be celebrating Cinco de Mayo by occasionally glancing at their party through my window.

Cinco de Mayo is about large beer brewing companies engineering an excuse for people to spend large amounts of money on their products in a small amount of time.
Basically, it's like Valentines Day, except for drunks and frat boys instead of girls. Needless to say, my bitterness and cynicism are in part motivated by the fact that I'm working tomorrow night as well.

Buenos tardes amigo

Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csEJW69-C2Q)

Hmm, my school's prom is on Cinco de Mayo. Hadn't occurred to me.

so what you're saying basically is that Cinco De Mayo > Valentine's Day.

If there are two days I hate it's this one and the Super Bowl. URGH.

Hell with cinco de mayo... its Derby Day!

Juleps!

Back in 1862 MEXICO > FRANCE

The question is ... could Mexico do it again?

We don't celebrate it in Poland. We had a national Holiday on the 3rd though.

What!? :eek: but why?

I can't really relate to the Cinco de Mayo, I can't really feel the same emotion everyone else does. As for the Super Bowl, I hate Football, and I don't drink.

Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody! I can't wait to get home, have some friends over, watch Oscar De La Hoya fight Floyd Mayweather and damage my brain with some Tequila.

¡Viva Mexico!

I hear that brudda!

Tequila all round!

Celebrating yet another French defeat!

This thread makes me want to eat more mayonnaise :p

Hell with that mexican noise...

It was DERBY DAY and the brain (and liver) poisoning was accomplished by means of JULEP

IN my case, said juleps (which numbed the pain of my gambling losses in the derby) were made with small-batch Black Maple Hill, which is some damned fine bourbon...

Also, I wore seersucker.

I have no luck with the horses, even on DERBY DAY, but I did wear seersucker pants and drink mint juleps all day,

Black Maple Hill small-batch juleps... them's some good juleps!

Juleps = Julepes?

And do you celebrate Mexican holydays over there? I didn't know it.

*Parties*

I'll take any excuse ;)

Julep = mint julep = drink of the Kentucky derby, of the civilized South. No mexicanism involved.
