Do you really think that's why they're celebrating? People party just to have a party. It's not like these are a bunch of Mexican revolutionary zealots celebrating here - it's just kids looking to have a party, and any old excuse will do.

Go to S 24th St here in Omaha today through Sunday. That isn’t just kids looking for some reason to party.

FWIW: It is really a neat experience as well. I wonder if they can throw out candy during the parade now because there for a few years it was banned.

I didn't think Roark was speaking about the folks in S Omaha. I was under the impression he was talking about Johnny Whitebread and his band of revelers.
Roark
Exactly. I was pumped about going out to celebrate the end of the semester, but then realized that it was May 5th, and that I'd have to deal with a million tools that have been binge drinking since noon for no reason what-so-ever... None (or at least very few) of the kids I'm talking about are of Mexican decent.

I'll be going to an Irish bar and drinking Guinness tonight..I'll stop at Taco John's and pick up a Softshell in celebration.
Roark
And don't even get me started about Valentine's Day!

whatever dude. you might not like it but other people have the right to go out and celebrate whatever they want, just like you do. you choose end of semester and they choose cinco de mayo! its one in the same, you arent superior because you think its stupid it actually makes you out to the the "tool" because you are claiming everyone else is a "dbag". im just sayin.
Roark
I don't like it. And I'm not saying that you don't have a right to be a d-bag. Nobody's stopping you from putting on a sombrero and paying a ridiculous cover to fist pump in a crowded impromptu beer tent if that's what you're into.
