    Scott,

    If you haven't hear of these guys they are a hoot

    The Taco Bell one is hilarious when they get owned by the drive in guy. The Facebook one is spot on and then the BQ one is just a classic. Some of te local commercials they do down here are plain hilarious.

    Yup! Did a few of those for the kids. Thanks.

    Say..I heard the real story of Cinco De Mayo on The Colbert Report. Five jars of Mayonnaise lasted for eight nights.

    Upon asking for a translation, a fellow told me that it's just the Spanish language version of "The Battle of New Orleans", not about Cinco de Mayo using the familiar song's tune.
