Cinco De Mayo

[lkt]

is this a US federal holiday yet?

Why would the U.S. have a federal holiday for the Spanish Independence day.

1) We already have our Independence day, July 4th.

2) The battle or Spanish Independence didn't even take place on the 5th of May.

Oh crap, I hope they dont make us share the 4th of July too!!

It's not Spanish Independence Day.

It's not Spanish Independence Day.

Same difference, they both share a causal relationship; one begets the other.

Buddy, this Mexican holiday has nothing to do with Spain. Matter of fact the commander of the Mexican troops at Pueblo was a Texan that led about 4,000 Mexicans that defeated 8,000 French and traitorous Mexicans.

That is very thoughtful of him... Please ask him to Goose you as well as I'll be on travel and won't be able to wish you a happy Cinco de Mayo in person.

TIA,

VV

I was given a bottle of Green Apple Pucker Saturday night... there is a recipe on the back for Appletinis... Green apple pucker and vodka on ice... I may have to try me some for Cinco de Mayo...

I've still got half a bottle of that stuff in the freezer that some friends left behind. You're more than welcome to it. And I've had Apple Pucker 'tinis, but we won't talk about that night.

Well, I won't force you to divulge prior pucker pickles... But, if you happen to share Cinco de Mayo with someone that frequently shaves her Schnauzer, please take notes and do share...

I really enjoyed the shot of apple pucker and I like me some vodka so I'm tempted to give the appl'tinis a whirl...
