Cinco de Mayo! Oh Me Oh My-O!

Did you know that the holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862?  It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some recognition in other parts of the Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population.  It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16.

Fascinating, the things you can learn on the internet.

Speaking of finding things on the internet, if you've come to this site looking for a video of "Il Returno de Hercules" (like a full third of my site traffic is) I have bad news for you:  I don't have it!  It can't be found!  Give up! 

Let's see, what else did I learn today:

1. Vegetarians are really missing out
2. It only takes a second...
3. I'm not shaving enough of my body
4. I have a surprisingly visceral reaction when someone confuses Peter Gabriel with Peter Cetera
5. I'm glad my barber likes me

Have a good weekend everyone!  Enjoy your mint juleps...

I think you're wrong.... Cinco de Mayo is just another day invented to party in the street and not be arrested for it. Yea Cinco De Mayo!

I had to stop watching that insurance video half-way through. The woman cutting her hand with the box-cutter, ugh. I have what my sister calls the tarded-tingles.

The woman getting her foot caught in the lawnmower. That's where I lost it. Hilarious.

OK--the shaving site was hilarious. I found him to be even more amusing when he wasn't speaking.

Where on earth do you FIND this stuff?!
