Jimmy is trashed off a Corona and 2 margaritas!  :D  

Seriously though, have we really been reduced to celebrating fake holidays just to have an excuse to consume alcohol? I mean, there may be a few people in the US who can trace their ancestory back to the battle of Puebla when the under-manned, under-equipped Mexicans defeated their French occupiers on May 5, 1862... but not really. I mean come on, the Mexican government doesn't even recognize it as a national holiday! The state of Puebla is celebrating the ONE good thing they have ever done besides give Swine Flu to American tourists, and inspire Dave Matthews to write that song about not drinking the water.


How we managed to take something like that a turn it into a drinking holiday, I don't know. But I freakin' love it. It's what America does.

Up here in Milledgeville every bar is having free covers, $2 Coronas, $2 shots, and $3 Margaritas.... AMERICA.... F*CK YEAH!  

I'm about to go have a few Coronas myself Jimmy. Thanks for inspiring me with the Cinco de Mayo spirit. I'm tired of studying anyways!

Will, You're a history major aren't you?

I look at it this way, the over commercialization of every holiday is the American way.  I mean look at it, as a nation we begin buying things for holidays, months ahead of time, whenever the stores begin to display it. Are you truly surprised that that we celebrate a holiday that is of only minor importance in it's home country? It's a sad example of the stereotypical over consumption by Americans. That being said I'll {toast} to it, being so lucky as to have the opportunity to, and hope it continues so that when I open my business, I can enjoy the extra revenue brought in on days such as today {toast}

Another problem is I HATE tequila with a passion.  I've only had 3 hangovers and 2 of which were a result of tequila... so no matter what, unless I'm already drunk before it's introduced, I'm not messin' with the junk anymore.  Blugh... hate it.

Ask Drew and Nicole... haha. Well I feel decent, but that's because I overslept and didn't wake up until 1 when I had a final at 2  ::)   

$1 Tequila shots   [hammer]  I have no idea how many we had, but we ate all their limes and when those were gona we ate their lemons and oranges too  :-X And by the time we were done our 8 person booth had shot cups COVERING it.  :D

Sounds like a good night a drinkin to me. I can't wait til I'm out of school and can afford decent liqours.  Wells tequila is probably the worst tasting liquid on the planet.
