Cinco De Mayo

Hello gents. It's May.

In four days, it's Cinco de Mayo. This is significant for perhaps three reasons.

The first is, of course, that the Mexicans beat the French in a battle. This didn't win a war, decide independence, or even make a really strong political statement. It was actually kinda minor, when you think about it. Who HASN'T beaten the French? Am I right? Show me some skin, dogs.

The second is that it's the international drinking holiday that always occurs on the same day. May Fifth, for those of you not keen on your spanish. Many margaritas will be drunk and thousands upon thousands of bodyshots will be done by husbands on vacation who will wake up the next morning in a vat of ice, sans kidney, post it note on their forehead.

The third is that it's my birthday. That's right! Munkus Beaver's birthday! But not just any old birthday, oh no. This is the day that Munkus Beaver becomes Drunkus. That's right, it's my 21st birthday bonanza. And it's on a drinking holiday. I'm going to die of liver poisoning.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I couldn't drink alcohol on my 21st because that was the day I got discharged from the hospital, and I wasn't allowed to drink any alcohol for a few months because it could irritate my healing bowels.

    But we've chatted about losing our colons a few times already, Munkus. So I'll just say: I'm not much into beers, but I like a good Pinot Noir. So try a couple out, maybe.

    5 months and 2 days for me. It'll be on a Sunday, which sucks. However, we don't have class the following Monday for Labor Day. It will be glooooorious.

    My 21st rolls around this year, and it is also on a Holiday (July 4th)

    Of course, the drinking at a 4th of July Barbecue is not nearly as exciting and Cinco De Mayo Shots.

    i don't know anybody who drinks on cinco de mayo

    not even mexicans


    i mean, maybe they'll have some drinks, but no more than usual and not really in any sort of celebratory fashion

    possibly because mexican alchohol is shit and also ass

    Wait, really?

    Man every bar I've ever seen is hyping Cinco de Mayo right now. As are TV ads for Mexican beer, etc. etc. etc.

    Edit: I should note that in Mexico itself, it's about as highly regarded as St. Patty's day here. It's not that big of a deal at all down there.

    it's probably more of a tweaking holiday

    or a skiing holiday

    those mexicans sure seem to love their stimulants

    Eh? Ever since I was a kid I knew about cinco de mayo.

    Everyone is talking about it. Especially when I mention that it's also my birthday.

    Do you live in some crazy amish town, Knob? With Amishicans?

    Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in all the states that were Mexico 2 before Manifest Destiny!

    The trick is to remember that while we took them we really only did it in name (See: California)

    it was my birthday last week and i had some dudes over on weekend and decided to finally crack open this huge bottle of sake thats been there for ages and now ive gotta finish this huge bottle of sake and its like fuck i dont really wanna drink all that much you know

    i could have some in regular intervals but between having a zero limit when i drive and my mother being around it is not that easy to do

    but she is going away next week for a week so im thinking just set aside a day and call it 'drinking day'
    i mean theres also like a case of beer i could go through

    i dunno what this cinco de mayo is all about but it sounds like its probably a holiday because americans want a reason to drink and think that mexican stuff sounds fun and culturally aware despite hating mexican people

    You know what's a little silly. I've been doing a lot of research for this little thesis I have to do, and it's about how the central and main source of Canadian nationalism is derived from the fact that they are not Americans. The weird part is it's breeding a sort of anti-American ethnocentrism that makes it extremely hard for even ANTI-AMERICAN (in regards to policy) American's to live there.

    This is pretty random, I Know.
