Cinco De (hold the) Mayo

Here we go:
Mariachi! Cause let’s be honest, when the horns shut the hell up, and all you can hear is the guitar, it sounds pretty damned nice. This isn’t that, but hey I work with what I got. Even this isn’t bad, probably because I’m not hearing it through someone else’s car as they drive by my house with their bass amped all the way up.
Then of course there’s the great Mexican Folk here Speedy Gonzales. The Fastest Mouse in all of Mexico.

Don’t forget the water down there, it’s wonderful, all natural, and because of it’s ability to open the sluices at the rear end, it’s a great way to lose weight:
Now, some people would look at a vat of refried beans and wonder “What the hell is wrong with people who can’t cook beans right the first time?” I see refried beans, as, well… Pretty gross in those quantities. It looks like brains.

Now Mexico’s getting some had some bad PR lately regarding this swine flu epidemic, I’d like to be the first to abolish these horrible rumors and state that factually, swine flu began in the American South and moved it’s way to Mexico by someone who contracted it before going on spring break. To prove this I give you this photo:

The evidence is clear, that child’s teen mother obviously became infected after letting her kid kiss that pig, then the mom went down to Cancun with the idea of having a good time and doubling her welfare check by coming back with a bun in the proverbial oven.
On the subject of swine flu, if you’re concerned you have it head to here: http://doihaveswineflu.org/ to answer their questionnaire and see if you need to see a doctor.
Back the subject of great things about Mexico, here’s one of Mexico’s greatest Actors : http://www.themovieblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/cheech-chong.jpg without him, where would American Culture be now? Huh? Yeah thanks Mexico! You may have saved Hollywood.
Then of course there’s that wonderful adult playground known as Tijuana. http://www.illegaleconomy.com/im/prostitution-in-mexico.jpg Got Penicillin?
Don’t forget Mexico has a variety of wildlife, exotic as it is endangered and deadly:

The wily Chihuahua http://www.puppy-stork.com/images/NANCYSPUPPIES-CHIHUAHUA/NANCYSPUPPIES-CHIHUAHUA_pupimage1.jpg
I got this from an encyclopedia:
“Although small in size, what the might Chihuahua lacks weight it makes up for in sheer aggression and killing prowess. At one time these small wolves hunting in packs numbering in the thousands on the great plains of northern Chihuahua bringing down a variety of wild game including the Giant Sloth, Miniature Buffalo and Sasquatch.
Archaeologists speculate that it was the Chihuahua, not a meteor, ice age or disease, that single handedly wiped out the dinosaur.”
So there it is, some fun facts about Mexico on this lovely Cinco de (hold the) Mayo.
Seriously though, Cinco De Mayo is a celebration of a Mexican Military Victory over the French. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo
Essentially it boils down to this:
“The outnumbered Mexicans defeated a much better-equipped French army that had known no defeat for almost 50 years.”
I’d like to point out that while the French were better equipped, they were still French. And while the gringo menace refers to Cinco De Mayo as “The Mexican Fourth of July” it isn’t. That’s on September 16th.
Cinco De Mayo is just a celebration of trouncing the French and a reason to kill a goat, barbecue and drink copious amounts of Mexican Beer.

First of all, there are photos of severed chicken heads in here. I warned you: See the rest after the jump. To be fair all the photos are fairly small until you follow them through to their sources, so it’s still palatable for the softer sorts, just don’t click on the pics.
