So, Luis, you getting drunk yet? :D

If you're not too fdurnk yet, can you fill us in on what Cinco de Mayo is? They said on the radio that's its kind of like Independence day, but not really, so what is it?
 
It's a celebration of the Mexican army kicking the shit out of the French army when the Mexicans were vastly outnumbered. Unfortunately, they won the battle & lost the war (well, it was a tie) :p
 
5 de Mayo, Batalla de Puebla, when mexicans kicked some french arse.

We didn't lost the war, it just delayed until Maximilano was killed along with other traitors a few years later. :p

I found some links about it, kind of inaccurate:

Our Independence Anniversary is not on September 15-16th either (1810). That's when the war started, the actual date is September 28th (1821), when it all ended. But i dare to say that 99% of mexicans don't know that :rolleyes:
 
It's an excellent excuse to eat some enchilladas or tamales with some refritoes and a couple of cool cervesas regardless. :beerbang:
 
Happy Day my truck payment is officially late Day! :D I'm drinking Chateau 7-11 for the occasion! :trippin:

A sad but true reflection of modern times all over the world... :(

But Happy cinco de mayo anyway... It's May Day here too... :)
 
Yep, in Missouri Cinco de Mayo is basically an excuse to get shitfaced on tequila and eat a bunch of nachos and tacos.
 
Try esacping Cinco de Mayo in Fresno. This place is chock full of Mexicans, who have certainly not forgotten their heritage.
