This Saturday is Cinco de Mayo and...

I doubt I'll be celebrating Cinco de Mayo any more than my Mexican neighbors.

I will be gardening, but with the UV hazard up in the high-to-extreme range I don't think I'll be doing it nude. I'll keep my eye out for other celebrants, though.
 
Naked gardening and lots of tacos, burritos and salsa. It all sounds good.
 
El Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of Mexicans over a French army at the Battle of Puebla. It's not a major holiday in Mexico, except in the Puebla area. It's THE major Mexican holiday in the USA.
 
Today is "May the Fourth be with You Day." Apparently having just a threesome is not enough anymore.
 
I read that Cinco de Mayo has overtaken St Patrick's Day and Superbowl Sunday for beer consumption in USA. But I think Superbowl still wins in guacamole quaffing.

Friday 4 May was a rough one for us. Saturday 5 May may find us collapsed, but we might stagger down to the county seat for supplies (avocados are on the list) and a stop at our favorite taco wagon. That will suffice.
 
Again?:confused:

Seems like Cinco de Mayo is every few months now. Oops! I forgot it is May 5th. Silly me.

Really? Okay, I'm going to take that as a joke, but those dirty Mexicans happen to be holding several economies above water right now. Oregon happens to be one of them, believe it or not.
 
Cinco de mayo is more "observed" in the sense of marketing it, which is why Corona and others (hence the other poster's finding out about heavy beer sales) market it for that day. You'll find actual celebrations in Mexican-heavy communities like L.A. (even seen in "Born in East L.A.") where traditional celebrations are maintained. However, it is not Mexican Independence day--that is 16 Sep.
 
We couldn't make it to the taco truck today but I had a can of chicken tamales and a raw jalapeño for breakfast, washed down with Sierra Nevada 'Torpedo' IPA and a slug of Hornitos gold tequila. That sets the mood.

I had to check the web to see if there were *any* Cinco de Mayo celebrations planned in this very Hispanic/Mexican city. The AAA baseball club is playing against El Paso, Tx. and they're having a fireworks show after the game tonight. One of the smaller city-owned theaters is hosting a show with Ballet Folklorico and popular Mexican music. The National Hispanic Cultural Center is (tomorrow) doing a little show billed as a celebration of Mexican culture (duh. That's what they do).

On the other hand, I saw bands setting up in a popular shopping district and in the downtown entertainment district, and there are Mariachi's playing in Old Town. Those aren't for Cinco de Mayo. They're regular summer events, and it's definitely turning summer here. Finals at the University are next week, and there are High School graduations all week.

I even went by my local liquor store. I saw no-one buying cerveza, and the coolers were all fully stocked with Dos Equis, Sol, Corona, Tecate, Pacifico, etc.

Party anyone? Downtown was mobbed, but that's a normal Saturday night.

I'm in Waco, so I hear fireworks/gunshots. More than usual. Not a great neighborhood.

5DM is more of a Mexican-American holiday than a Mexican one, but it's real popular here in Texas. I kinda have to cringe a little when it's white girls playing "Kiss me, I'm Mexican!" and then turn around to show off their Make America Great Again gimmie caps.

Huh. I don't believe in Cultural appropriation, but isn't it kinda like waving the Rebel Flag on the 4th of July? I keep waiting for those chix to have a Mexican buy them a drink. It's not a wall, but at least they can make them pay for it.

"WooHoo! Yeah!"

No complaints about the Italian girls wearing "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" T-shirts on St. Pat's?

A comparison. Why I said "Kiss me, I'm Mexican!" Right now, they're not deporting Irishmen. They're not at schools, watching Irish children so they can pick up their parents when they come to pick them up.

I would be a little more pissed about Saint Patricks if the were. i'm still a little pissed that an island off the coast of England gets as much cultural representation (Ethanol, and the color green) as the Continent of Asia (Somewhere around China.)

We have Irish Americans, Italian Americans, African Americans, and Asian Americans. Do the Kardashians check the Asian box on their tax forms? They're Asian (Armenian) Americans.

I tell you whut. It seems like they're waiting for the dogs to stop barking to light another one off, and set the dogs to barking again. I think I'll call them American-Mexicans. For tonight.

Someone in the neighborhood is celebrating CdM, because they set off some big fireworks. There are Texans living here, too. They're everywhere.

"The victims of sacrifice, standing on top of the great pyramid, could see the floating green gardens in the far distance, with the sun sparkling on the lake, and then their hearts were cut out and roasted in a fire.

Tens of thousands of heads rolled down the stone steps of those pyramids, and the rivers that turned the temples red in the noonday sun were a plea to the gods to keep the gardens growing."

As always, you bring the interest level up several notches. :)
