Anyone do anything for the Mexican "Independence" Day?

I went out to local bar where they had a big thing set up outside, and hung out with some friends till about 1am. Thought about calling in today, but alais, here I sit at my desk. Just wondered if anyone else felt my pain.
 
I tipped my standard Double shot of Jose Gold.

Then settled in for another PD Cup race.

Nothing exciting.

I walked around drunk downtown all night

Actually, Cinco De Mayo means Day of the Dead. On that day, spanish speaking countries remember lost loved ones by celebrating their lives. Mexico got its independence on September 16, 1810. Don't believe me? go here: http://pangloss.ucsfmedicalcenter.org/~terrazas/CincoDeMayo.html

Last year in my spanish class we celebrated by bringing in foods from mexico. Strangely, we didn't do that this year.
 
well, my spanish is not the greatest, actually I really only know one line, su casa es mi bano :lol:

Cinco de Mayo means "The Fifth of May". This is when they won the most (or one of the most) decisive battles for their independence. Day of the Dead in spanish is "el Dia de los Muertes" and is around the beginning of November.
 
just another day to sell beer but it does celebrate a victory over france so it can't be all bad.

Argh, I must have been out of my mind when I wrote that post. I still stand on my statement of it not being Mexico's independence day though. You are right though that November 1 and 2 are "day of the dead". How I connected May 5 and November 1 & 2 is beyond me. And yes, I knew Cinco de Mayo means May 5, I just got those two dates mixed up. I'm not very good with remembering dates.. :lol:
 
I did nothing. I don't drink, I'm not Latino, I don't party, basically I have nothing to do with Cinco De Mayo...we didn't even mention it in Spanish class...
 
I got trashed at a friend's house, and walked all the way home. Oh, what fun!
 
Well, I got a call from my daughter's school nurse telling me that she got stabbed in the eye on Monday and I had to go pick her up. Does that count??
 
Yech...stabbed in the eye? Probably done with a pen right? That's disgusting...that would hurt...
 
Hope your daughter gets better!:) ;) I had a late surprise for Cinco De Mayo today; i slipped on wet grass while playing softball and twisted my ankle.:ouch:
 
It was done with a pencil. The nurse exaggerated, though... it was more of a poke. Nothing broke off inside and the doctor said she'd be fine, especially since she wasn't complaining of pain at all. The nurse assured me that the boy who did it was being dealt with... maybe she thought I'd press charges or something. I don't know. Anyway, it was a nice excuse to get out of work, go out for lunch and do some shopping.

RVD, I hope you're staying off of your ankle so it heals up quickly. Injuries are good excuses for people to wait on you... hehe.
