- Velenne, on 05/05/2009, -2/+19Stupid question. All holidays are just an excuse to get bombed.
Especially Christmas. - chriswastaken, on 10/27/2009, -0/+12Memorial day, Veterans day, New Years Eve, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Super Bowl.

- alex7575, on 05/05/2009, -1/+12Drinko de Mayo?
- graywolfz10, on 05/05/2009, -0/+10The gringo's always do.
- justok, on 05/05/2009, -0/+10I get especially drunk on Good Friday and recover 3 days later.
- GlenQuagmire, on 05/05/2009, -1/+11***** Gustavo Arellano, he's not a real Mexican. In his column he depicts Mexicans with all the racial slurs and stereotypes he can. He's just a wanna be who want's to feel he belongs to a community by insulting them and perpetuating Mexican stereotypes at the same time, so he can be accepted by the white people.
- SexyGeekGirl, on 05/05/2009, -2/+11Happy Cinco de Mayo!
- JJ2K1, on 05/05/2009, -5/+13"How about Cinco de Mayo vs. Oktoberfest?"
Oktoberfest for the easy win. Cinco de Mayo is a joke compared to Oktoberfest. - CMuffa, on 05/05/2009, -0/+8I think you would get even less responses if you asked any person born in the United States what Memorial Day is for. Beer and BBQ is definitely not the right answer.
- inactive, on 05/04/2009, -4/+12mexican, french what? Bring on the dos equis with a shot of jose cuervo.
- elBrujoD, on 05/05/2009, -0/+7For some reason, Cinco de Mayo is not something celebrated in South Texas, which is unusual because we'll use ANY excuse to get drunk here...example: I just washed the car. LETS GET WASTED!
- mandarin, on 05/05/2009, -0/+7Not exactly.
- graywolfz10, on 05/05/2009, -1/+8Its not a hallmark holiday its to celebrate the day we defeated the french... Now that i think about it thats not much of a feat.
- laughtears, on 05/04/2009, -5/+12orale. i'm against hallmark holidays in any language
- AkashicBadger, on 05/05/2009, -0/+6Cinco de Mayo is my birthday :)
- mastersquirrel3, on 05/05/2009, -0/+6Civil war happened
- graywolfz10, on 05/05/2009, -2/+8Mexicans have always been great warriors, look at the aztecs and pancho villa. we are one of the most decorated minorities in the military. now we are disorganized, poor and have a corrupt government. =/
- momedefome, on 05/05/2009, -1/+7Es la batalla de Puebla !!!!! Ponganse al tiro
- diggyduggle, on 05/05/2009, -1/+7I'll stick to Patron' silver. :)
- LOCK3D, on 05/05/2009, -0/+5Maybe they use actual cheese instead of that rather disturbing plastic like substance you folks call "American Cheese" which is only suitable for putting on burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches or as a replacement for bondo or poly fill .
- nurall, on 05/05/2009, -0/+5im mexican and i dont mess with joe.
jose cuervo is the main reason alot of people don't like tequila.
i'll do my shot with corazon tequila and drink indio. - shutaro, on 05/04/2009, -2/+7It is our libation day! Well... that and, you know, St Patrick's day.
- bffoley, on 05/05/2009, -1/+6The good thing about Cinco De Mayo is you can drink without having to listen to people talk about how Irish they are even though their Irish ancestors first moved to the USA 150 years ago.
- Tw3ek, on 05/05/2009, -0/+5The number who say it is Independence Day never fails to make me laugh.
- justok, on 05/05/2009, -0/+5And if there isn't a good reason, well, that's a good reason too.
- minnecrapolis, on 05/05/2009, -1/+5How long have you been a woman?
- lamejoketeller, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4Wait a minute...how did we let France invade Mexico? What happened to the Monroe Doctorine?
- hatdrop, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4if you think the dip is good, you need some carne asada fries
- balthisar, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4That's okay, there are lots of Americans who think there's no fourth of July in Mexico, either.
- faskill, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4No it isn't? Two seconds of research?

"While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride." - Lumbre619, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4Can't forget buying new shoes. Hell, buying new anything. I'll drink to that.
- Rivetgeek, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4Canadian Boxing Day
- jordanlgta, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4Being in boat form must be interesting.
- CoD4, on 05/05/2009, -0/+3Sucks for the mexicans, this one thing has smeared their otherwise spotless reputation
- dOOBiEx213, on 05/05/2009, -0/+3Mexicans keep a low profile in South Texas... unless they want some redneck to shoot them.
- cIprO, on 05/05/2009, -1/+4at the time it was .. centuries later it wasn't that big of a deal lol
- objectcode, on 05/05/2009, -0/+3Wont be long before its an American holiday aswell.
- jedinate, on 05/05/2009, -0/+3I live in Florida and all of the Cubans celebrate Cinco de Mayo as if it they are straight of the boat form Mexico.
- mandarin, on 05/05/2009, -2/+5You mean the day when the Mexicans won against the French for defaulting on their loans?
- SpinningHead, on 05/05/2009, -0/+3I have a lot of Cuban relatives in FL and have never heard of that. Are you sure those people celebrating are Cuban?
- minnecrapolis, on 05/05/2009, -0/+3Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
- rdldr1, on 05/05/2009, -3/+5Does Great Britain have the 4th of July?
- inactive, on 05/05/2009, -0/+2Cinco de Mayo is not a national holiday celebrated in Mexico, it's only celebrated by pocho's and by us who just think of it as another day to get stoned or drunk or stoned and drunk!
Ask a Mexican living in Mexico if they celebrate this american holiday and they will say no. - nurall, on 05/05/2009, -1/+3it's not a hallmark holiday if no one sends cinco de mayo cards. if fact ive never seen a cinco de mayo card. all i see is people getting drunk.....and bbqing
- elshanero, on 05/05/2009, -0/+2Let's get bombed!!!
- vico99, on 05/05/2009, -1/+3I'm Mexican and I don't know who was the brilliant gringo who said that 5 de mayo was a great celebration day here in Mexico. We do not celebrate this day. It's just "another" missinformation that all gringos has about our country...
I remember when I was a kid and I saw Speedy Gonzalez cartoon celebrating 5 de mayo and since then I said "Com'on is not a big deal"... Our most important day is in September 16th... Independence day.
The missinformation is so big that also the white house make an "official" celebration day... It's so strange... -
