you're wrong. do your research.

People's ignorance astounds me, but never more than during the first week of May.

Cinco de Mayo:

1. Is NOT Mexican Independence day. I can't stress that enough. That's September 16. I saw a sign here announcing it was downstairs, near the other dorms. I wanted to stab things, mostly people.

2. You need a holiday as an excuse to drink? Really?

[i_said_boourns]

*huggles*

*FLAIL*

THANK you ♥

[i_said_boourns]

Aww, you're welcome, Ashie!

but why the flailing? WHAT'S WRONG?! SPEAK TO ME!!

[ladymango]

Just...some people are so artarded in the ass. "IT'S CINCO DE MAYO - ALL MEXICANS DRINK TODAY SO WE CAN TOO!"

It just ticks me off O_o; People seeing me today are like "drink like thirty margaritas! It's Cinco de Mayo!" So hence the flailing. And yeah, maybe I'm not fully Mexican enough to make it look like I would care but ...still. *cough*

[i_said_boourns]

ugh.

No, no, anyone can care! I'm not even remotely Irish and I care about St. Patrick's day being reduced to nothing more than a green puke-fest instead of a "yay, we're Irish!" day.

Thank you for caring. You can be an ally! :D

[i_said_boourns]

psssh, you think I'm not going to?

:D

i knew the history, but i just like the way "cinco de mayo" sounds. i also like the way "veinte de mayo" sounds. i love spanish. now, anyway. now that i get it.

i'll wish everyone a happy veinte de mayo this year, just because i like it.

[i_said_boourns]

lol, you weirdo!

[wenelda]

si! :D

i'm just glad i spelled "veinte" right. i almost always switch the e and the i for some reason. (stupid "i before e" thing, i guess.)

[digressionqueen]

Excellent rant. A++.

[i_said_boourns]

Why thank you. ;)
