Well, in that case, Happy Cinco de Mayo.
"Just who WAS Cin-co de May-yo?"
Overheard when a Dallas school principal (who was also a preacher and always spoke like one) introduced the only Hispanic faculty member to his all-black school to give a talk at assembly. Said teacher ran with the ball handed him, which resulted in great hilarity, and later, a stern talking to. Happily, the story has lived on forever.
Huh. Is it possibly celebrated more in Texas than in Mexico, Tnemeh? Here, it's always been big with the Tejano community, but it has also become the unofficial restaurant/margarita happy hour holiday. I'm craving enchiladas and a top-shelf with añejo just thinking about it.

Yeah, we all work or go to school as normal (except for this year, I think schools are closed due to the ZOMG H1N1 hype)... Here, the most important days are the Mexican Revolution (Nov 20) and Independence Day (Sept 16).
But if that means tacos, huaraches and mexican food to be eaten, I'd merrily celebrate it! If that also means tequila and piñatas, well, even better. I'll quote Foamy The Squirrel:
"I personally love the idea of beating the s#!@ out of something and then getting candy in return."
By the way, if you ever manage to get to a restaurant that serves real mexican food beyond tacos and stuff like that, there's a mexican dish called Chiles en Nogada. Try it =D

Thanks for the birthday wishes folks. Sadly, I couldn't respond sooner, as I wsa flying home to Louisiana yesterday. My wife's uncle died a few days ago, and his funeral is on the 7th. Sad, but better for him, since he was suffering.
Anyway, at least I got to see my parents on my birthday, and my wife surprised me with a Netbook. Now I just have to get it connected via Wi-Fi and I'll be able to connect to Paizo almost anywhere! Woohoo!!!!
Aberzombie celebrates 5 de mayo because he's a risen zombie of that battle!
Happy one-day-late bday zombeh!
Hope your birthday wasn't too overshadowed with grief, Aberzombie.
