Cinco De Mayo!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a Mexican edition of The Oz Files. So today is Cinco De Mayo and Leah thought it would be good to be informative and thought provoking and talk about Cinco De Mayo and why Americans celebrate it even though it's a Mexican Holiday? So we as Americans think that Cinco De Mayo is the Spanish Independence day right! Um apparently that is not what it is and I was shocked and amazed as all of you are. So let's break it down a bit shall we? Cinco De Mayo is a regional holiday primarily celebrated in the state of Pueblo. With limited recognition in other parts of Mexico. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the battle of Pueblo on May 5,1962 my mom was 1 years old a the time oh yes! Oh excuse me that is 1862 so she wasn't born yet. Under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin say that 3 times fast. The outnumbered Mexicans defeated a much better-equipped French army that had not been defeated in almost 50 years. Was flannel back around then probably! Cinco De Mayo isn't an obligatory federal holiday in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily. While Cinco De Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. A common misconception in the United States is that Cinco De Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day, which actually which is September 16th (dieciséis de septiembre in Spanish), the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico. I hope you all have gained some brain cells if not well you probably are drunk reading this. So now it is time for me to tell you all why I think Americans celebrate Cinco De Mayo. I honestly have never celebrated Cinco De Mayo because I'm not Mexican and I'm not Mexican! I do enjoy Mexi fries which I usually get at Taco Time. I think that Americans like Leah Stafford it gives them an excuse to drink and be marry just like on St.Patrick's Day. I have just been informed by SMS AKA text message Leah is a white Mexican so I guess when she sent me a picture of a margarita and nachos to me um explains a lot. So with all that said I just farted so you gotta clear the room that's for my boy Erich Miller holla! Well what do you guys think of Cinco De Mayo? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

The Sports Dunker!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a game show edition of The Oz Files. Leah has decided that the topic is going to be if I created a game show or reality series what would it be about and how would I come up with the contestants. Well I had to do some hard thinking about this one sitting back in this chair with my eyes closed and I had to find something that would be entertaining yet informative. Well no that's jut a bunch of BS but anyways here we go. So if I were to created a game show or reality series realityit would be a game show of course,. The subject of this game show would be um sports trivia DUH! Also I have a couple twists to the game which I think you will find very enjoyable. So the premise of this game is answering sports trivia when I say sports that doesn't involve soccer, Canadian football or cricket! This would be a half hour game show the usual for a game show. I would choose the contestants like they do in the Price Is Right. We would have the studio audience name in a bag grab a name and call them down to play The Sports Dunker! We would have three contestants for the whole show and they would be sitting on a dunk tank board. As you know below them is water and the only way they have a chance of getting in that tank is if they miss a question now this is where ti gets good. I would bring in some fast pitch softball players that are women. So if someone got a question wrong they have the chance to throw the ball at the tank and if they hit the target the contestant gets soaked. If you hit the water five times then you are out. The last man or women who is standing at the end spins a wheel and whatever the wheel ends on they win a sports vacation. Well there ya go that's a great idea! So what would you do and why? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Little Ole Gonzaga!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a local edition of The Oz Files. Leah has decided to clean tonight but ha anyways it's all good in the hood sons and daughters of the land of Oz. Um Leah says that tonight's blog is local sports: What is my favorite team and sport to watch that is local? This can include any minor league sports teams or local college teams. Also where do I watch the games of the team of my choosing? Well friends this will be a fun one to write about. There are a few teams here in town that are worthy choices. You got the Spokane Chiefs your local favorite Western Hockey League team. First of all they are always very good and you will never leave a game disappointed with the fights! The Spokane Chiefs won the Memorial Cup last year meaning that they were the best junior hockey team in North America. For the football lovers out there we have the Spokane Shock. The A2 football team who are so amazing playing football arena style! You got a smaller field and you got boards you can push people into it and it's quite electric just went to the game last night solid win. The games are high scoring and whoever has the ball at the end of the game will most likely win! The Shock are pretty new to Spokane only been here for like 3 years or maybe it's 4 but it's pretty new and pretty damn successful. In the summer time you have one of my favorites the Spokane Indians oh yes I won't go into the whole scam but yes the Spokane Indians are my favorite minor league team to watch but aren't' the top choice! Going to a Spokane Indians baseball game there is nothing like it. Families comes to Avisita Stadium to take in the great atmosphere and take in the awesomeness that is Indians baseball. The Spokane Indians are traditionally really really solid every year! It's time to make the big reveal who is Oz's favorite local team? People who know me will not be shocked when I say it's none other than those GONZAGA BULLDOGS! Yes, My favorite local team without a doubt is the Men's College Basketball team. I've been a fan since 1997 so yes I've been a fan before people jumped on the wagon. I remember the days of Dennis Patchin on the call for the games on the radio. His famous line was ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Wow Patching love it so epic. People who don't' like Gonzaga they really have some serious issues that will have to require counseling so that they can get back to what's real and that's amazing basketball. Little Spokane Washington produces a premier program that is very very mind blowing. Gonzaga is not afraid to play anybody they play on there floor they play on neutral courts but the big schools won't play on the Zags turfs they gotta play at the Spokane Arena. I guess they are chicken and they don't' have any balls! Well anyways where do I watch the games that would be oh yes on TV. Getting into a GU game is like finding a needle in a haystack good luck with that. If your John Stockton then I guess you get to go to all the games. Tom Hudson and Richard Fox radio voices of the Zags amazing team. Greg Heister and Craig Ehlo TV voices of the Zags make me sick they are so terrible. How are you still working for the Zags you bums! I will answer this my favorite local sports team is Gonzaga but my favorite sport to watch is baseball! So to sum this up my favorite minor league team is the Spokane Indians and my favorite college team is by far the GU ZAGS! Well what are your thoughts on this amazing topic? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Doughnuts VS Muffins!

Hey friends it's Oz here back for a breakfast edition of The Oz Files. It's free write Friday one again and I'll be talking about doughnuts vs muffins debate. Let's see there are so many breakfast choices and the two that are pretty popular are muffins and doughnuts. Both are very good but there can only be one winner folks. Let's look at muffins they come in all shapes and sizes and they are easy to maintain. Muffins are soft and chewy and you can get them in mini versions or you can go big or go home with the giant muffins and that's the only way to go if you ask me. What flavors are there to choose from? Blueberry, Banana Nut, Popeyseed and my favorite chocolate and so much more but those are the main flavors. With muffins you can peel off the wrapper and eat the crumbs off the wrapper such a tasty treat. So muffins are really good and they have a lot of good traits. Stepping up to the plate is doughnut. Doughnuts also come in all shapes and sizes and lots of flavors. Doughnuts are really glazed and pretty darn healthy for ya! You got fritters, jelly filled, maple bars, doughnut holes, powdered doughnuts and so many more. You can get fresh doughnuts at Safeway every morning. Wow oh so tasty and you can put them in a box and get a package deal. Um I wouldn't eat them all for yourself um had a bad experience with that. Doughnuts are always good with milk, orange juice or even coffee. You know you just can't eat one you gotta have a few! So what's the pick doughnuts or muffins? I love them both but when push comes to shove it has to be the doughnuts all the way! So tasty and just amazing! Well what do you think about this whole subject? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
