I haven't a clue as to why I am, but, any reason to drink and celebrate seems good enough for me . .
Jus' thought you'd wanna know.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo . .

The wife and I do "Margarita Tuesday" every week at a Mexican restaurant in Kansas. This works out perfectly.
Americans excel at appropriating any holiday as an excuse for drinking.
Oh, I don't make excuses. I just like drinking!
that's as true a statement as there is...i tell my wife that as soon as she doesn't hear an excuse from me, get me help.
Still cleaning house as of now.
Headed to Glory Days sports bar in a few for a couple of Margarita(s) and shot(s) of tequila, then on to the grocery store.
I don't usually do Margaritas, but, I had such a good one this past Thursday in Wake Forest that I'm looking forward to enjoying a couple more this afternoon.
Jewish holidays are my favorite because they go for days at a time
Why? Because you finally found your testicles and you don't know what to do with them?
I jest, I jest. All in good fun GTee.
Days that start with T are better

I've mentioned it before, but my wife and I host a Cinco de Mayo party every year (we just held our "Second Annual" so I guess I can say that). We provide all the food, alcohol, games (corn hole, bocce, etc.), and party favors (sombreros, mustaches, etc.) so our guests just have to show up and enjoy themselves. We bought a margarita maker last year that does a damn fine job.
It's also a great prompt for us to do some work around the house to get ready. Spring cleaning inside, and mulching, pressure washing, cleaning patio furniture, etc. outside. Let me say this though. Planning for a party is hard enough. Planning for a party where you have guests inside and outside is a ton of work.
Since we always make sure to have enough food and drink, that means I get to enjoy all the leftovers this week (and beyond). I'll definitely be enjoying some margaritas and Coronas this evening on the patio while I watch my dogs run around the back yard. Life is good.

I don't remember much Spanish, but I can order a drink. "Una cerveza, por favor" is "one beer, please!" Of course, you follow it with "una mas" and repeat and repeat and repeat.
Of course, today is also...
Of course, today is also...
No, you weren't invited.I guess my invite got lost in the mail . . .
You wouldn't fit in anyways. They are going to spend the night drinking virgin margaritas and running multiple regressions.
I myself will be at a fish camp drinking beer and playing cards, so suck it RH.
I actually thought about sending an invitation to the entire board. Probably should have since the party ended too early. Why is it that when I don't have to drive anywhere nobody wants to cut loose? Now who's gonna help me drink all this beer and tequila?
Billy might come down. I think he's primed by now and ready to go.
You folks can meet us in Norton, Kansas tonight. Everyone that shows up drinks on me!
What the hell is a fish camp, anyway? The camp part sounds good. The fish part does not.
I've started sipping on Don Julio Anejo on the rocks in the evenings...good stuff! Walking over to Astros-Rangers game in a couple of hours so likely have a few beers tonight.
I just got off the road yesterday, and besides, I'm hosting BabyDebo on Thursday . . so, I'ma no-go.
It's slang for a brothel. Don't tell the new Mrs. 71-00
Eh. Not his best work. I wouldn't not drink the booze, and I don't even know how to do a multiple regression analysis.
It's where you camp when you are fishing. This particular camp has cabins and a hotel.
And it is in Santee,SC, which means that any female companionship would make Crystal Mangum look good by comparison, so gonna pass on that and try to win some money at cards off Dad and his friends. I'm thinking I can get em drunk and cheat, which would seem to be a piece of cake given my current tolerance vs theirs, but as we are already 2 hours into this trip and I'm the only one drinking, it might be even odds tonight.
I call bullshit on you not knowing how to run multiple regressions.Eh. Not his best work. I wouldn't not drink the booze, and I don't even know how to do a multiple regression analysis.
And I suppose you would drink Tequila, provided of course it was small batch, craft tequila. But I know there is no way you are sipping on a mass produced Corona.
I bought the Coronas for our guests, of course, but I force myself to drink one with them to seem like "one of the gang."
You're exactly right about the tequila, though. I procure it from a local migrant named Pedro, whose family I've allowed to take up residence on my estate. Pedro's ancestors have grown their own agave for generations, a tradition which he has continued here in his new life. He makes hand-crafted artisanal batches of tequila for me, but refuses to produce more than 5 liters a year. I suppose that's for the best. His family has provided a number of other useful services for me as well. His wife and daughter weave custom serapes, rugs, and blankets of the highest craftsmanship, which of course I get for pennies on the peso. And his son has proven quite adept as a goat farmer, producing some of the most delicate and creamy cheeses you've ever tasted. I've thought about bringing their skills to market but for now have decided to keep them for myself.
Well dang, not doing anything as interesting as craft tequila but the son and I are grilling chicken for fajitas and drinking Dos Equis. Not the most interesting dudes in the world I guess.
No one hates Pedro's tequila.
But it sounds like you have a story, so why don't you share it?
You tried too hard on the whole Pedro thing. I didn't laugh. And there's not much to tell. I went to a crappy but jampacked Mexican restaurant (I don't like Mexican food) and drank too many margaritas, which led to shots of tequila, which inevitably led to worship of the porcelain goddess.
Apologies for the snark. But I am hungover and at work right now I'm having to manually edit a huge FedEx master ship list where I have to change the "ship date" column from 05/06/15 to 05/08/15 for each label. And in all their brilliance, FedEx designed this program in such a way that I cannot copy/paste the correct date, or drag it down like in Excel. So I'm manually highlighting a column, deleting a "6" and adding an "8" over and over and over.
Did you know 6's look a lot like 8's? Like A LOT like 8's. You know how when you stare at something for long enough, it starts to not make sense? I think I'm losing my mind. I'd put an emoji to illustrate this but none of our new emoticons accurately portray it.
Yeah, definitely losing my mind. Damn tequila.

And you don't like Led Zeppelin? It's a wonder anyone likes you at all.
