I don't really care that much about Mexican independence, but the margaritas are 2 for 1 at all the local restaurants so woo hoo. :lol:

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Happy 5th of May.......... !!

 

Bon 5 de maig

This is one of those awesome holidays I always forget about until it's here. I'm thinking Taco Bell tonight (the paragon of authentic Mexican cuisine!)

I bombed a Spanish exam and ate a shitload of Taco Bell for lunch to mark the occasion :D

taco bell :sick2:

 

It's a big party in Houston as we have most of Mexico living here. :P

I love mexican food :dance:

5 de Mayo is not the Mexican Independence,is something different.

 

Mexican Independence is on September 16

yep sorry about the mistake. It's when Mexico beat up France that's on May 5th. Margaritas were only $1.99 for a large, so that all that really matters. :P

yesss i had fun at my local mexican place tonight

 

it was freaking packed and they had live music.

it was great

Stupid Americans, they all just care about drinking and having fun, eh?

 

:dozey:

Not so fast Simon Bolivar! A victory deserves celebration, and I'm glad for your success in Mexico on the 5th of May. All power to the people!;):sombrero::builder:

Simón Bolívar in Mexico? :huh:

I have a question

 

Why the hell do american celebrate May 5th??????

 

it's not like I'm complaining and saying "that's part of our history not yours" but I don't really understand why you guys seem to care more up there than us. We just make parades and don't go to school :P but you party and drink. WHY? What did USA had to do with this?

Or is it because of what texasluvsjonny says? cause half of us are there in south of USA?

Most of the places that celebrate it here have large Mexican population, and it's no so much a celebration of the event, but has become more of a celebration of Mexican culture, just as St Patrick's day celebrates Irish culture, Oktoberfest celebrates Germany culture, and so on. The battle certainly kept Napoleon's army out of the US, and General Zaragoza was actually born in what is now Texas, so I guess that is important, but let's face it, Americans will celebrate anything involving food and drinking. :laugh3:

hahaha great answer, I admit it, you beat me :D
