-- I edited too, eh! -- Doug McKenzie, the other Editor
Bob | Okay, good day, I'm Bob McKenzie, this is my brother Doug. |
---|---|
Doug | How's it goin', eh? |
Bob | So welcome to our celebration of Cinco de Mayo, eh! Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday and from the sounds of it it's a big contest to see if mayonnaise will sink. |
Doug | Yeah, I believe it's Spanish for "Sink-o the Mayo". |
Bob | Wow. How did you know that? |
Doug | I read a lot, eh. |
Bob | Oh yeah? Where'd you read that? |
Doug | Uh... probably on the back of a mayonnaise jar or something. |
Bob | Beauty. So it must be a pretty big deal cause you see it on the news all the time, right? |
Doug | Yeah, and it's harder than it looks, cause we've got five different kinds of mayonnaise here and we can't get any of them to sink at all, eh! |
Bob | We was in our neighbour's pool and he was pretty mad that we tried it with the tops off the jars. |
Doug | Well I figured the water would run in and fill the jars and get rid of all the air and weigh them down, eh! I didn't realize it would all slime out. |
Bob | Hey, he should be thanking us that he no longer needs a solar cover. |
Doug | Really, eh! So we tried the regular stuff, the stuff made with whole eggs... |
Bob | Don't forget the salad dressing, eh! |
Doug | Yeah, two types of salad dressing. We even got some No Name™ brand mayonnaise! |
Bob | Did you just say the trademark symbol? |
Doug | I did cause it's a brand name! Besides, this is on the Internet, it's written, not spoken. |
Bob | Well, not anymore, eh! There's videos and sounds and pictures and everything online now! It hasn't been just written since 1997! |
Doug | So? The design of this site hasn't been updated since 1997, either. |
Bob | We should do something about that, eh? |
Doug | Yeah, and... (eats a spoonful of mayonnaise) ..geez, this stuff is pretty good! I can see why they'd hold parties in its honour. |
Bob | Aw geez. At least get some fries or something to eat it with! |
Doug | You want some? |
Bob | Oh. Okay. (takes a spoonful) Hey wait, maybe Cinco de Mayo isn't got anything to do with sinking mayonnaise jars, but is just a celebration of uh, the invention of mayonnaise. |
Doug | Could be, eh? |
You | Hey. |
Bob | What? |
Doug | Hey, it's our reader! |
Bob | Whaddya want?! |
Doug | Oh, way to be polite, eh! |
Bob | Oh, sorry. Uh, you were saying, reader? |
You | You guys realize that Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with mayonnaise, right? |
Bob | What? No way, it's got "Mayo" in the name! |
You | It's a holiday to celebrate the Mexican Victory over French forces on May 5, 1862. |
Doug | Why didn't they just call it May The Fifth, then? |
You | Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for "May The Fifth", you nobk! |
Doug | Aw geez! |
Bob | Hey, they shoulda held the battle three weeks later and called it May Two-Four, eh! |
Doug | That'd be great. Then they could get not only a two-four of beer, but also five jars of mayonnaise, and... |
You | You guys are a bunch of hosers. |
Bob | Oh yeah? Well take off! |
You | Fine, I will! |
SFX | door slamming |
Doug | Geez, how come we always end up annoying our readers, eh? |
Bob | It's your fault. |
Doug | Take off, eh! |
