Good 'ol american hospitality.
Hospitality is one thing. Being insulted is another. I see it as a similar situation to me going to Chihuhua and celebrating VE day or "Remember the Alamo day" or the defeat of Santa Ana. It would be in poor taste and insulting my hosts by celebrating a national holiday.

I see it as similar to having guests over and one of them lighting up. It's one thing if he does it at home. But do it in my house I will ask you to leave.

Cinco de Mayo is NOT an official Mexican holiday.
Yet Political Correctness will have you believe it is.
Cinco de Mayo, is a Californian holiday that has spread to encourage beer sales. So I guess if we are not to discuss politics, then these types of thread shouldn't be started to begin with.....of course I will start a thread on October 23 to celebrate the Hungarian revolution, when Hungary stood up to the Russians in the 1950's

So instead of the Phony "Cinco de Mayo" how about just saying "Happy Beer Day" or "Happy Get Drunk Day"

Political correctness......what a joke!

now, we see if this gets deleted or edited.

I should just ban you for that alone.

Then ban away Al, I have nothing to offer here anyway.
No Tales of Ovations, vintage or otherwise.

Happy Sinko de Meldoy to be celebrated on May 6th.


Take care everyone!

Al, I think the 'strange' Brad was referring to was Elliot's behavior, and the 'appropriate' part was your response.
And I agree.

The irony is that (at least in my town = currently Moab UT) Cinco de Mayo is a day that the mexican restaurants are booming with business and the poor mexican's who work there are working their butts off. So what's the holiday to them? We ate at a good local place and in honor of the holiday tipped mighty handsomely (100%) even though the Mariachi Band was not playing any Ovations. Happy Holiday mi Amigos.
