Does Pancho Villa have a beard? Technically speaking, probably not. Maybe some scruff in this picture and that's damn good enough for me.

It's Cindo De Mayo - so we had to go with a famous Mexican.. but do you know how hard it is to find a famous Mexican man with a beard? They usually only rock the stache.. but they rock it hard.

Save your argument about "the most interesting man in the world" - dude probably isn't even Mexican and I've never really liked Dos Equis and it's not a great example of a Mexican cerveza anyway.

McClure and I did think about him - but realized it was a little sad that the first person that came to mind for today was a fictional spokesman for a beer.

Cinco de Mayo is a kind of amateur drinking holiday (like St. Patrick's Day or Arbor Day) - and contrary to popular belief it is not the Mexican independence day. It's just a day where they joined in on activity enjoyed the world over - beating up the French.

They beat the French in one battle...

then got defeated.

“Although the Mexican army was victorious over the French at Puebla, the victory only delayed the French invasion of Mexico City; a year later, the French occupied Mexico.”
