Cinco De Mayo, Jumping Chola, and The Desert
I would say ten or maybe 12 years ago I was living in Tucson Arizona. We were about an hour and half or so from the border town of Nogales, Mexico.
Nogie we called it. My buddy and I decided to go there to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. We parked on the state side as we always did when going to Nogie. We then walked across. It was me, and my buddy, and this girl I was trying to get with.
We went to Mr. Amigos, a moderatly famous party club. That night, it cost ten dollars for all you could drink in honor of Cinco De Mayo. We went to the upstairs balcony and started to get to drankin. We were so thirsty that night.
This girl I was trying to get with was playing me and buddy against each other, she was an attention whore. After about 6 drinks, I was like you can have her. What was I thinking the club was full of Beautiful Mexican women, and few American ones as well.
I left them to it, and went down to get another drink. After a few body shots, and even some more tequila (tokillya) I found myself on top of the bar dancing with several hotties. That is one of the things the bar was famous for dancing on this 6' foot bar.
Obviously I had been drinking a good amount, because not that I mind dancing, I can't imagine doing it on top of a bar. There I was larger then life, and loving it though.
Meanwhile, the two I came with were up on the balcony fighting. As I jump off the bar, and bump my butt on the ground, I noticed that the dude is getting dragged out of the club by two big bouncers, and then thrown into the street.
He just can't hold his liquor I guess. The girl came and pulled me away from this other girl I was hanging out with. To tell me he was out there waiting for us. I went out and he was passed out on the side walk, I helped sit him up and told him to wait for me.
I went back in to explain to the girl I was playing with, then I went to get him so we could go. He was gone, so I said cool more booze for me.
Eventually the place closes, and me and the girl I came with walk back to our car. My buddy broke in and is passed out in the back. Someone had stolen his wallet and shoes. That is what he gets for being a cock blocker.
So off we go to drive back home. I am not seeing double I am seeing triple, and had no business driving, let alone all the way back to Tucson. I was still pissed at both of them, and highly impaired.
I look at the gas gauge, and wouldn't you know? That's right we were nearly on E. This highway is just desert on both sides for miles and miles at a time.
Sure enough, we run out of gas. Wait. What do I see? A gas station not a mile away, if I cut through the desert, which also happened to be an Indian Reservation. I get the gas can, and am still drunk enough to think it will be alright to traipse across the desert, in the middle of the night.
So here I am walking through the desert, and it is really dark, I can barely see a few feet ahead of me. They have a cactus called Cholo, or the jumping cactus. You get close to it, and the next thing you know, you have this big cactus fruit full of spines stuck in you.
I am walking along, I hear a coyote howling in the distance. At this point I am certain that it is following me. I am also sure that I am being tracked by an Indian who wants to scalp me for trespassing, and being a white devil who stole his land.
I am stumbling toward the light from the gas station sign, hoping to make it before I am bitten by a rattlesnake, or eaten by that coyote. I am begining to sober up now. I trip, and start rolling down a hill. I just landed in the jumping cactus.
OUCH! this cactus does not mess around, I have the stickers in my ball sack, two on my face, on my back, my ass, my belly, and my legs. I had about 12 or 13 all over me.
Now I am sober, and man does this hurt. The cactus when it punctures your skin begins to swell. So it is like pulling out small, bu
