I blame the drugs, but WTF is that?

[delphipsmith]

Hint: Look at today's date...

[nursedarry.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh, si, si, yo entiendo ahora!

!Jajajajaja!

[delphipsmith]

Muy bueno, senora!!

Ummmmm...... No.

Hint: Look at today's date...and think about Mexico...

I GET IT. It took me a while, but I got it. Cinco de Mayo :D

[delphipsmith]

You got it :) And how thoughtful of you to spoiler-tag the answer!

[mundungus42.livejournal.com]

*sporfle* Nice!

[delphipsmith]

Since yesterday was Star Wars Day ("May the Fourth Be With You") this just seemed like a natural follow-on ;)

[madeleone]

No, I totally did not get it. I kept saying to myself over and over: mayosink, mayosink, mayosink, mayosink, hoping if it said it enough times it would sound like something else. (Like that one game that I now can't think of the name of, LOL) But of course as usual I was ass-backwards.

Good one!

[delphipsmith]

*giggle* What finally made it click?

[madeleone]

I cheated of course! I peeked at queerlyobscure's spoiler above. Then I did a palm to forehead...DUH! Well, obviously!

[lady-of-clunn.livejournal.com]

No.

I thought about 'down the drain' but it´s obviously just 'in the sink', so...

Hint?

[delphipsmith]

Hint: Look at today's date...and think about Mexico...

[lady-of-clunn.livejournal.com]

Mexico?

*is bewildered*

Er... far away? Middle America? Hot? Cacti? Mariachi? Weird festivals with skulls all over? Inka? Maya? (Were both people in Mexico at all?) Nice food? Er, water shortage due to wasting it on rich people´s gardens?

I am afraid that sums it pretty much up. I am woefully ignorant about South and Middle America.

The date???

[lady-of-clunn.livejournal.com]

Okay, I looked at the spoiler.

I guess it was just one foreign language too many to make the connection, LOL.

We hardly ever come across the Spanish language here. I can sort of guess at things because I know French and some Italian but the play on sink/cinco was beyond me. I would have understood the date when written down as a date but for the puzzle one needs to be able to count to five in Spanish, I guess and my abilty stops at three :)

[lady-of-clunn.livejournal.com]

I feel very far away.

I just read 'Happy cinco de mayo' in an A/N and finally googled it.

I thought you had made that up! After seeing your sink and the mayonnaise or something.

Mexican national day. I will never forget that.

[delphipsmith]

I thought you had made that up! Heeee! If only I were that clever :) Nope, it's real day, but probably not that well-known in Europe, like most people here have probably never heard of Bastille Day or Walpurgisnacht. I first encountered Cinco de Mayo when I went to college in Texas (far too many years ago), but with the growth of the Latino population in the U.S., it's fast becoming a more mainstream holiday.

Sink-o-the-mayo =)

Ahahahahaha, boooo!

I live for bad puns...
