Happy Cinco de Mayo!
I'm not sure how to exactly celebrate Cinco de Mayo today. For a start I'm English, so until last year I'd never even heard of it. But it's a big deal here in the States. According to Wikipedia, the font of all knowledge posted by people who've little idea what they're talking about:
"The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862 under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin."
So not one to miss out on an excuse to party, here's what I am thinking of doing:
1. Get a large jar of Hellman's and pour it down the sink.
2. Go to a Mexican restaurant and get roaring drunk.
3. Go to Mexico and say "good news, swine flu is over", bad news "it's being taken over by seafood flu which makes you feel really crabby."
4. Go to a French restaurant and say "have you heard, they're opening a Mexican restaurant next door?"
