... nor do I like the beer. Try a Pacifico. It's mighty fine about 3:00 pm on Lake Picachos after you've put 150 bass in the boat.

Real history of it. In the 1800's Mexicans developed an overpowering taste for mayonnaise. It was only available from Hellman's in England, and they could not ship it fast enough so devoted an entire cargo ship for the purpose. All of Mexico was ecstatic upon hearing of this good fortune. Enroute the ship struck a reef off the coast and sunk on May 5th. All Mexicans were devastated upon learning of the tragedy and from that day forward remembered May 5th as the date of Sinka de Mayo. Yeah, I know - C+ at the best.

I don't see too many mexicans celebrate down here. It's usually just white people who need an excuse to get hammered. Just a normal day of getting hammered for most other San Antonians.

I got a wrong number call from someone in Coahuila a couple of hours ago and wished them a happy Cinco de Mayo. I never could understand their reply but they seemed pretty happy (truth is they could have been telling me that my auto warranty expired but my spanish is very limited).
Give them a call, 52 871-269-4152

Im just not Spanish, nor am I big on their celebrations. I’m 100% white. I’m not Spanish. I’m not Mexican. I’m just a plain American white guy that loves the hell out of Mexican food, tequila, jalapeños, and all that stuff. You’re missing out. I don’t like the boots some of those fellas wear. But, they knocked it out of the park on some of this stuff.
