Its MAY FIRST! Time to gather your family and friends around and have a BAR-BQ.. and dance around the May Poll.
Wish you were all here to have around me to eat hamburgers and hotdogs and BBQ Chicken and coleslaw, and potato salad, and chips and dips and play frisbee, and tug of war and all that fine MAY Day stuff. Plenty of beer and soda around and punch for everyone..
How I love MAY FISRT! MAY DAY! WOOT!

[addsig]In that case, it's time to celebrate.
Being that close to the border, I bet theCinco de Mayo preparations are driving you nuts 
In fact, so many Mexican migrant workers have moved to Jonesboro, that we now have some items for the holiday in our stores

Cinco De What? Just kidding oh yeah its a big deal here. I just run around with a bull horn screaming REMEMBER THE ALAMO.. or LA-MIGRA! Its lots of fun.. Just have a armor vest on you should be safe. I know it was the Spanish Vctory over them damn Canadians.. err I mean French they are celebrating.. =)
What state is that in? It does not surprize me a bit there is some 40 million hispanics in the US. Its so bad here that you are required to speak spanish to get a job at McDonalds. Thats no joke.. and guess what I dont speak any spanish.. maybe thats why I have yet to find work here.. could be.
[addsig]IMO they ought to do something about the language issue. It seems pretty dumb to me that the government makes so many accommodations for non-English speakers (public school classes taught in Spanish etc.). By not forcing the immigrant population to learn English, we are only hampering their cultural and economic integration. I have no problem with immigration, I just feel that it cripples the Hispanic population in general to be so PC about "respecting" their culture.
A prime example is the American Indians. They never integrated into the rest of society because of the reservation system, and as a result they have fared miserably as a socio-economic group.

Aww... Its no fun when there is too much agreement. Maybe I should have phrased it differently:
Lets put all the damn wetbacks into concentration camps until they can pass an english grammar test!
[addsig]SNICKER.. 
I thought you said its no fun when there is too much agreement.. So to be different, I think we should just shoot them as they cross and call them Terrorist.

Dang they must dig up the dead to have that many people all in the same place.

I'm assuming you hail from "The NetherRegions"? I used to have a couple clan mates from The Netherlands and it was so much fun to pick on the smallness of the area. Well *blushes* it was fun for me 
Thanx to you, I almost lost an entire mouthful of coffee. Only my shear force of will prevented a near disaster. Next time, post a WARNING: before so i can swallow.
