    Another word we’ve assimilated, I think, is “cerveza” and some of it’s associated brand names: Tecate, Corona, Dos XX, Sol, Negra Modelo, etc., which is exactly why many beer companies have jumped on the 5 de mayo bandwagon. And as regards this, Bono is not too far off with 1,2,3…14. After the 3rd beer, who’s counting??

    It was kinda bad planning to defeat whoever so close to Star Wars day. We need to space these things out a bit.

    Sorry, I quit my day job. I’m new to satire. You’re oblivious to US revolution history, a pattern of defeats and victories, some of each notable in their own way. Our fight, like the Mexican’s was eventually won with outside help & there’s a lot to admire in both revolutions.

    You really think that “gringos” know cinco is five? For all I know, they probably think that on May 5, a few years ago, the Mexicans sank a French ship called “La Mayonnaise”, and that is why that day is known as “Sink O’ the Mayo”…

    Your comment was snarky re the Mexican revolution and I compared that conflict with our (US) history. Surely, you’re aware that the American public can and does turn national celebrations, indeed any celebration into a drunken party. Enjoy the day…
