CELEBRATING CINCO DE MAYO
Today is Cinco de Mayo, the day that Americans choose to celebrate the Mexican heritage. The common thought amongst most folks is that May 5th is Mexico's version of their Independence Day; In reality, Mexicans celebrate their Independence on September 16th. Cinco de Mayo is remembered for the battle between an ill-stocked Mexican Army and their hated and much more powerful enemy, the French. A battle that the Mexican Army somehow won, sort of a David-Goliath matchup at the time. Personally, I never understood the point of celebrating something that has nothing to do with us, but hey, when in Rome...
In any case, we Americans look at Cinco de Mayo as a festive holiday, notorious for getting blitzed with Coronas, tequila shots, cheezy hats and bad quesidillas. We've had pretty festive celebrations of Cinco de Mayo in the past and I expect more of the same today; especially in light of the fact that it falls on a Tuesday this year, which is a pretty busy night to begin with as it is also DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS.
Think of the combination: DOLLAR DRAFTS+ CORONAS+ TEQUILA SHOTS= madness.
I expect a busy, messy night. Ole, ole, ole, ole, ole.....ole!
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMIS: Manchester United vs Arsenal (2:30pm)

NUFF SAID
