    Don’t let that old lady (Helen?) see these pictures! Imagine how offended she’d be to see a little boy gyrating! It was bad enough when the future first lady did it!

    Hispanic or Latino blood in me…? nah! it is mostly tequila..
    I have mexican and lebanese blood in me (hell of a mix).
    Neither “Hispanic” nor “Latino” refers to a race, as a person of Latino or Hispanic ethnicity can be of any race.

    MEXICO does NOT celebrate Cinco de Mayo.. there was a Battle of Puebla (in Puebla obviously) but other than a tiny parade in that city (3 hour drive from Mexico City) no más!

    Mexicans DO NOT speak “mexican” they speak Spanish and they do not go to Mat-zalan we go to Mazatlán.. we do not have “warms” in tequila THAT would be mezcal - and we DO NOT put lime in beers, mexican do not wear balloons in their heads in “spanglish” name restaurants ( I hate spanglish! ) We live in the United States of America and English should be THE language - learn it! - I teach it.

    Please do not “feliz cinco de mayo” your friends from the south of the border and please please do not spell it “Cinco Demeio” like my step daughter (american) did. Other than that.. Salud!

    Aww Pecky, why you gotta go an ruin a perfectly good reason to drink and party?

    Kinda like St. Patrick’s day. Most people think it is Paddy’s day and they have no idea who Paddy is, but they like the novelty of green beer.
