anyone else notice that the cinco de mayo celebration is being held at a bus terminal? is this really just a deportation ploy?

Oh yeah! party's just inside the bus there, head on in! *SLAM*

The day of the dead point indicates a joke.

I get so confused when it comes to this holiday. I guess it's because there are so many days throughout the year when one can celebrate the French surrendering.

No big deal really. Countless cities in the US celebrate the 4th of July on other days especially when it falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, they push the festivities back or forward a day. It's no big deal.

Also...

If the calendar begins with Jesus (1 a.C.) why is His birthday on December 25th instead of January 1st?

Um, that would still be three days off, and Dia de los Muertas is in October.

Either you fail badly, or need more tequila.

What'll really bake your noodle is that Jesus was actually born around 5 BC.

You sir, are a MORAN. Had be been born then, he would have met his kindergarten self and then killed his grandfather, thereby negating his very existence.

I always thought it was a strange coincidence that cinco de mayo was always on May 5th.

Why can't it be both?

/Can't wait for Cinco De Mayo
//Which, of course, I'll be celebrating on Tres De Mayo during the De La Hoya Fight
///And it will carry over into Cuatro de Mayo when I'll be basting in the sweet, sweet musical juices of one Carlos Santana at JazzFest
//And then I'll finish off the weekend playing "hide the chorizo" with my lovely hispanic girlfriend
/She's Venezuelan, but hey, who's keeping count?

Cinco De Mayo is more popular in the US than in Mexico.

Any excuse to get drunk, I guess.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I take pride in our country's ability to take another country's holiday and turn it into a nationwide beer commercial. It's what makes America America, and if you don't like it, you can just go to Canada! Whose holidays we will also be stealing this year.

kinda like we celebrated St. Patrick's Day, March 17, the Friday or Saturday before that so as not to interfere with Holy Week?

A celebration about a small battle won against a European power. Guess what? France returned and conquered them anyway. Battle won, war lost. Mexico's history is long, sad and tragic.
