    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Elote is BOMB.

    My wife being Mexican and us both being Arizona natives we celebrate Cinco De Mayo, hell i remember doing so in elementary school here. We went to a Selena impersonator show at a local casino, followed that up with gobs of good food. Afterwords went out and had some drinks and polished off the night with Sonoran dogs.

    Are sonoran dogs similar to chihuahuas?

    Same reason ‘Murkins celebrate St. Patrick’s Day...to get blasted.
    And fun fact, while St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland, he was actually Welsh.

    True. Like St. Patrick's Day where everyone is Irish, Cinco de Mayo is morphing into an everyone is Mexican day. Just an excuse to get liquored up, sell more beer and booze.
    I believe the "Holiday" was pushed/propagandized by a certain Mexican Beer Co.

    Gotta be careful, the snowflakers will be on ya about 'cultural appropriations'!! :o:#

    This is little Frankie, showing off her little sombrero on Cinco de Mayo. :)

    She thought she was so cool. B)

    She found out pretty quickly that when one is seven pounds, one doesn't hold their tequila very well!

    Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

    This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

    The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

    The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
