Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Or those microwave burritos.

The green chili ones are both  and  at the same time.

I thought you would side with the people (tm) against the monarchy (tm). I'm disappointed. 

Ah shit I had not considered that angle.

Actually the Mexican Liberals' marching song was La Marseillaise which was sorta awkward.

The communists also used to use that theme.  I think it was sort of an all purpose song for Revolution.

Does anybody actually do anything on Cinco de Mayo?  I honestly can't remember ever even seeing anything unusual happening on 5/5.    Mexican immigrants... nothing... alcoholics I've lived with... nothing.... who else is there?   

I always either go out for Mexican or make a little fiesta at home. I also play Linda Ronstadt's version of "La Charreada".

I've seen Casablanca several times but don't recall La Marseillaise at all. Neither tune nor words, it just doesn't leave a mark.

But that is only because you are a soulless dry husk of a human being.

One of the key scenes of the movie: the anthem battle. Chant de guerre de l'Armée du Rhin vs Die Wacht am Rhein

[Eddie Teach]

Yes, I remember the scene in the movie, why I mentioned it. Just not how the song goes. Probably doesn't help that it was competing against the German song.

Had chicken tacos last night for Fifth of Mayo.  They were OK I guess.  We were out of Tabasco so Wifey put extra Frank's into the marinade to compensate, plus we were out of onions & there weren't any peppers.  Meh.  I ate it with a couple knocks of Seagram's on the rocks & that stray bottle of Guiness Extra Stout that was hiding in the back of the fridge.  Thank Christ that its grocery day today.  I'd elaborate more but Weiner kid #2 just crawled up on the desk next to me & the stench wafting from her diaper indicates that she is an Obama fan & advocates Change...
