I go to Home Depot around 7AM and look for day work on a roofing crew.

For me Sinko de Mayo is truly a day to celebrate. Few people have come to know the “true” story of the origin of Sinko de Mayo. It is my pleasure to set the record straight.
A little known fact is that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico but as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course as Sinko de Mayo.

Reminds me of my favorite example of a joke that you laugh at initially, then realize it's crap.
A Carlos Mencia type [might even have been him] had a bit about how lazy Mexicans are. While other cultures have Christmas Easter, Hanukkah, Passover or Kwanzaa, 'we' have 'the fifth of May!!' 'Eeeeey esse, it's the 5th of May, let's get drunk Holmes!!' Mind you, I think this was on an HBO special. It certainly wasn't some random open mike night. You might crack a smile at his exuberance and stereotyping, then a second later you realize, Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican Independence. What do we call our celebration of independence? And what do we do on that day?

It's a form of taco. I know it's not the authentic Mexican version of the taco, but it's still a taco. Much like a Toyota Prius is a shitty version of a car, it is still a car.
Way to make me defend my stupid pink taco pic that was posted just so I could say I ate pussy this morning. |

It is still the celebration of the final defeat of occupying forces. And 'Merkins still celebrate the 4th of July, rendering the joke flat and lifeless.

I never pass up an opportunity to drink Dos Equis while eating tacos.
