Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
It's a bit late to be starting this thread, but what the heck? Better late than never!
     Woo-hoo! Par-tay!

I love tacos with every part of my body. Especially my mouth.

No, Cinco de Mayo (literally "fifth of May") is a holiday that celebrates Mexico winning it's independence from Spain...sort of a Mexican analogy to the US's July 4th. It's a great excuse for a party, particularly since it falls on a Friday this year.

Okay then, victory over France (?!?) instead of independence from Spain.
Thanks for the link, Mel. You'll probably have to post it again for me next year.  France? What are the odds on that one? You may now resume partying.

The weird thing about May 5th is we don't celebrate it here in Mexico as much as you do in the US. We just get the day off and that's it, beer is optional
