CINCO DE MAYO: STEELERS STYLE�

�and more

By Swissvale72

About to go out to celebrate Cinco De Mayo at La Caretta in Nashua, NH. �This Mexican restaurant is set apart from other New Hampshire Mexican joints in that it actually has Latinos working there.�� We go to Chili�s, Shorty�s Mexican Roadhouse�.only white people working there. �What fun is that?� Granted, NH is one of the whitest states in the USA, but we do have Asians in the Chinese restaurants, Dagos in the Dago joints, etc. �Only place I�ve ever seen with no Chinese in a Chinese restaurant is Prince Edward Island, Canada���what will you have with your moo shi, eh?� �Of course, it�s billed as Canadian-American food.� What the fuck is that?? �Hunan Moose, Pierre Trudean�s Foo Yung?

Anyway�..big Steeler Cinco De Mayo gig today. �Held�.where else�.at the Mexican War Streets. �Right in front of Franco�s house�.he had platters of his multi-vitamin doughnuts. �Swanny was there, too, campaigning for Governor.� I don�t think he knows the election is over�.and that Rendell won. �Yeah, we know Rendell is an Eagles fan, and that the Commonwealth is going down the tubes under his supposed leadership, and he fucks Pittsburgh every chance he gets. �But Swanny, it�s over, my friend, give it up!!

Who else was there?� Ex-Steelers Gabe Rivera�.Senor Sack, Pete Gonzalez, some DB whose name I can�t remember. �And the rest of the guest list�.Vincente Fox showed up (y�know, what kind of a Mexican name is Fox??....be like the Italian leader being named Horace Greely). ��Pancho Villa showed, so did General Santa Ana, BobbaLouie from the cartoons�.�you alright, BobbaLouie?� saw-thiiight.� Cesar Chavez, and Desi Arnez. �What�s that?? Desi�s Cuban??� Hit the fuckin� road, Desi�..c�mon back for Old Havana Days. Is it true that Desi now lives in Donora?� Luuu-Seeeee.� �Oh yeah, guest of honor, keynote speaker this year was Zorro�.Zorro never spoke though, did he?� Pittsburgh PD was there�..checking Green Cards & Visas�.plenty of paddy wagons. �Rounded up all the�.�undocumenteds� (that sounds nicer than illegals, doesn�t it?), shipped �em the fuck out to Cleveland.

Maybe somebody else can answer this question.� Is Cinco De Mayo a religious holiday? �A holy day of obligation?� The Mexican version of All Saints Day? �Anybody else have to go to church the day after Halloween? �That really sucked�..stuffed with Almond Joys, and Crunch bars�.had to get up, go to church before school.

Now that we�ve mentioned church, religion, I�ll segue into my other topic�.see what you asshats think. �Now that I�ve past 50, I think more and more about my own mortality. �And I�m not sure what I think about it.� There an afterlife? �I don�t know.� Heaven?� Hell?� Purgatory?� Don�t know. �I do think this though�.I truly believe that when we pass on, we�ll still be able to watch Steeler Football. �I truly believe that.� I just can�t come to terms with Steeler Football ceasing for me when I leave this earth. �Think about it�.that poor slob has a heart attack, dies hours before the Super Bowl, ticket in hand. ��Surely a merciful God will still let him watch the game. �That guy who died in Cleveland last year�.his kids listened to the game on radio on the way back to Pittsburgh. ��Surely�.he�s still watching, too.

It�s probably the case though, that Heaven has the good bars, plasma TV�.Purgatory, you get a 27� TV, and your wife giving you shit throughout the game�.basically the same as here on earth. �In Hell, you still get to watch, but it�s on a grainy 9� black & white�..and it�s fuckin� hot as Hell�.wait a minute!!! It is HELL!!

Anyway�..happy Cinco De Mayo�.LAPD sends its greetings!!
