It’s Cinco De Mayo Amigos! Does Tgar have to manage the calendar for this board?

Margaritas Season is officially underway and it’s nothing but debauchery and full steam ahead.

Revisit your Manhattans and Old Fashioned's come October. Until then, plow yourselves to oblivion with the Nectar of Mexico!

And while you are at it, enjoy some MUSIC!

Cinco de mayo is a weird “holiday”. The vast majority of people in Mexico see it as just another day. Meanwhile, north of the border, snack food marketing geniuses have made millions of Americans think it’s the next best thing to the Super Bowl.

I'm in Mexico now and it's just another day. I might have a few margaritas anyway.

Here is a weird funny about Cinco de Mayo that I heard years ago ...

Most people don't know 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. 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.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5 and is known, of course, as - Sinko De Mayo.

Tom is gone on cinco de mayo. Oh let me help.
“Cinco de Mayo marks the Battle of Puebla, fought in Puebla, Mexico, on May 5, 1862. A group of poorly equipped Mexican soldiers, estimated to number 2,000 or as many as 5,000, defeated a French army of roughly 6,000, sent by Napoleon III to establish a French presence in Mexico. The holiday celebrates this single victory, which didn’t prevent France from controlling much of the country from mid-1863 until mid-1867.”
