Yes, I'm spamming LJ, but I'm incredibly bored.

Not knowing any Spanish, Lieutenant Asshat just asked me when Cinco de Mayo was.

I said, "It's May fifth. I learned that from Sesame Street. I believe that was the episode Big Bird got wasted and puked in Oscar's garbage can."

That certainly *sounds* like Cinco de Mayo to me...or it's just this neighborhood.

That still doesn't beat my cousin asking his aunt what date the Fourth of July was....

You missed the perfect opportunity - you should have told him "April 27th", and then laughed your ass off when he repeated it.

On the night of November 24th, I said with a clear intent and a straight face, "I really wish Christmas was in a month!"

They laughed for weeks.

I meant to say, "I wish Christmas was a month later." This would have allowed 30 more days to shop & get stuff done.

Sometimes, our stupidity stems from premature speaking, not utter ignorance.

But Big Bird yakking on Oscar is priceless.

I can one-up you on that one. We were playing Apples to Apples with my Canadian roomate, an association game where everyone has to choose a card from their hand that they think best goes with the card in the middle, and the judge for that round picks which they think is best. For the word "heroic," my roommate put down "Cinco de Mayo." We asked her to explain her choice, and she mumbled something about him being a famous general or something.

Yup. My roommate thought Cinco de Mayo was the name of a famous person. We still haven't let her live that one down.

Dude, that's like asking what time the Christmas Midnight Mass is....or Easter sunrise service for that matter......
