Ive already seen 3 guys getting 40's at the gas station at 7:30 this morning... I then proceeded to see a man walk out with 2 massive boxes of Corona...

I think its an indication that I should stay in my garage and work on my bug tonight, since I dont drink anyway, but, to keep with the festivities, I'll make some fajitas or something for dinner!

Donate to the minutemen

How about "Happy Liberation Day!" (Netherlands), or "Happy Childrens Day!" (Japan and Korea)..

What significance does Cinco de Mayonnaise have aside from celebrating General Zaragoza's (born in Texas) victory over the French (big surprise.) ?

It's not even a Mexican federal holiday.

Unfortunately the weather is cool this week in San Jose.
Disappointing because hotter weather brings out more fine latin hotties to enjoy.
But I am going to my favorite Mexican joint on Post street for dinner, and to enjoy the fine view of my favorite waitress.

you're really just so ignorant... it absolutely floors me.

first of all, Cinco De Mayo is NOT a "mexican" holiday, but rather a holiday for people of Hispanic heritage outside their native country. Cinco De Mayo is primarily celebrated in Puebla, where the battle took place against the french, and outside the country, where supporters of the Mexican government used the Holiday as a protest against 5 years of French occupation following the battle. It started here, and its been celebrated here ever since. It's as much an American holiday as St. Patricks day is for the Irish, and other holidays specific to ethnic groups.

and if you agree to donate to the minute men, i highly suggest you read up on two different but entirely related subjects... that is economics, and vigilantism. in this case, both have to do with nativism and racism, and nothing to do with whats actually wrong in this country.

:lol:

Cause it was never mentioned as being an American holiday until I moved to within a couple hundred miles of the border.

Thanks for the education though!

You have missed a key point here, Joe, that being the VW connection.
I mean--where is the New Beetle manufactured? Yup. Puebla. :D

Adiitionally, I will choose not to bless you with my opinions on the Minutemen topic to avoid a long drawn out thread ending in a "locked" icon.

I would argue that the function of the Minutemen has nothing to do with racism.

I feel that Canadians have the equal opportunity to be discriminated against if they enter the country illegally. It's not based on race.
