Cinco de Mayo
Somebody asked the question: Why do we celebrate Mexico's independence day in the United States? I would think that is rather obvious. Since most people don't really know or care what the hell Cinco de Mayo is, it's simply another day to drink lots of beer. Sort of like St. Patrick's Day and New... Sign in to see full entry.

May Day
