Actually, I prefer vino to cerveza.
I used to live in the Desert Southwest and should have known better, but I habitually confused Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) with Diez Y Seis de Septiembre (September 16th.) Not because I'm calendar illiterate, but because of the Mexican holidays.
Cinco de Mayo is the celebration marking Mexico's unlikely victory over the supposedly superior invading French army during the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Mexican Independence Day is September 16, and a really big deal!
I have that correct now?
¡Gracias!
Anyway, what better excuse reason for parties and paddles?!
¡¡Viva Los Nalgadas!!
(Oh, and if you're confused by that picture with Mel Blanc and Jack Benny or would just like to giggle at this again--)
