As we all know, November 6th is National Nacho Day, since we 100% need a localized version of nacho celebration 16 days after the international one because USA USA USA I guess. I don’t think it’s news to anyone that nacho holiday or not we’re probably eating the delicious dish today, but if you’re shamed into needing a reason to eat them you’ve sure got one now. If you’re really lucky perhaps a child will even draw a picture of you making nachos. What does the “5” mean when placed between 6 and a half drawn nachos? What exactly is at 568%? How did I acquire such a fantastic sombrero? Only the imagination of a child combined with the magic of nachos could tell you. There are many a holy day in the nacho calendar, Cinco de Mayo, Ignacio Anaya’s Birthday, the anniversary of Carmen Rocha’s death, etc, but to have your whole country behind you and your nachos on this day is truly an incredible experience. Dig in my friends and eat your fill.
International Nachos Day
Ladies, my lips will be cheesy today...
Halloween, Christmas, 4th of July, all holidays with recognizable dates that your calendar probably already has marked. One day however that is probably not on said calendar (and if it is please let me know as that's a calendar I would like to purchase) is October 21st, International Nachos Day. And by "October" I of course mean "Octchober" because if there's a day to make nacho puns on it is today.
So how do we celebrate such a day? Some people try and consume five pounds of nachos in one shot. Others leave an empty chair and place setting at their table in tonight during their nacho dinner in honor of Ignacio Anaya. Really so long as you're eating some nachos in some fashion you're probably good. And perhaps if you're lucky the spirit of Ignacio Anaya will come visit you tonight, as this is the one day of the year when the veils between the worlds are weak enough that he is allowed to venture forth in search of the perfect plate of nachos...
Who wouldn't want a visit from a spirit like this?

Every now and then either by evolution or a fluke in genetics there is created an aberration. Sometimes it’s a two headed snake, sometimes a cat with extra eyes, sometimes an eight legged cow. Sometimes though, just sometimes it is an absolute abomination, and sometimes that abomination is made out of chips. Sometimes there are CHIPBOMINATIONS

Everything these days needs to be fancier than in the past. Cell phones didn’t used to have a camera, and now they have a minimum of five. Razor blades used to just be a one bladed murder implement wielded by an orangutan, and now they have a minimum of five. Cars used to be horses. While improvements are good, sometimes the old ways are the best ways. Or at least equally delicious ways.
