Ahhh, the good old days when I lived in Holland.

Real coffee, tall blonde girls, aromatic herbal cigarettes

This thread is giving me the munchies

 

Ahh yes, 4/20
Too bad i dont smoke pot....althought i have to admit, its a whole different kind of stupid...

 

Buzz 96.7 in Atlanta has "Mandatory Marley" on the weekdays at 4:20.

 

my brother lives in GA. ...hmmmm he'd participate i'm sure of it...zap!

 

You always know something excting is getting ready to happen when you hear a pot head say... "Hey watch this!"

Might as well go ahead and call an ambulance because somebody is getting ready to hurt themselfs.

I don't party with Mary J either... I tried it twice several years ago but I liked beer or whiskey better. Now I rarely do any if it...

 

I've never tried it and I also have no ambition to try it.

 

Must be the same thing I'm missing...

I tried the link and no workie. I gather that it is something to do with smoking pot (astute observer huh??!!) But since I have never partaken of that particular substance I am totally out of the loop on this one!

 

did anyone know that the anarchists and ****'s white supremecists started this whole 4:20 thing because its hitlers birthday and they would all have a beer or smoke a joint in salute for the great hitler... so any jews or blacks out there.. now that u know what ur celebrating are u still gonna do it?

 

Doesn't 4:20 also have something to do with British tea time? Isn't that where it all began?

 

Claim: '420' entered drug parlance as a term signifying the time to light up a joint.

Status: True.

Origins: Odd terms sneak into our language every now and then, and this is one of the oddest. Everyone who considers himself in the know about the drug subculture has heard that '420' has something to do with illegal drug use, but when you press them, they never seem to know why, or even what the term supposedly signifies.

It's both more and less than people make it out to be. '420' began its sub-rosa linguistic career in 1971 as a bit of slang casually used by a group of high school kids at San Rafael High School in California. '420' (always pronounced "four-twenty," never "four hundred and twenty") came to be an accepted part of the argot within that group of about a dozen pot smokers, beginning as a reminder of the time they planned to meet to light up, 4:20 p.m. Keep in mind this wasn't a general call to all dope smokers everywhere to toke up at twenty past four every day; it was twelve kids who'd made a date to meet near a certain statue. It's thus incorrect to deem that '420' originated as a national or international dope-smoking time, even though the term began as a reference to a particular time of day.

These days '420' is used as a generic way of declaring one likes to use marijuana or just as a term for the substance itself. Its earliest connotation of having to do with the time a certain group of students congregated to smoke wacky tobaccy is unknown to the overwhelming majority of those who now employ the term. Indeed, most instead believe one or more of the many spurious explanations that have since grown up about this much abused short form:

TBC

 

Spurious etymologies and uncertain definition aside, '420' has slipped into a position of semi-respectability within the English lexicon. Various free-wheeling cities annually celebrate "hemp fests" on April 20. There's a 4:20 record label in California, and a band called 4:20. Atlanta's Sweetwater Brewing Co. sells its 420 Pale Ale in supermarkets and opens its doors to the public at 4:20 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. New York's 420 Tours sells low-cost travel packages to the Netherlands and Jamaica. Highway 420 Radio broadcasts "music for the chemically enhanced." And in 2001, the forReal.org web site of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Center for Substance Abuse Prevention put out a public service document titled, "It's 4:20 — Do You Know Where Your Teen Is?"

420s are routinely slipped into popular movies and television shows. In Fast Times at Ridgemont High the score of the football game was 42-0. Most of the clocks in Pulp Fiction are set to 4:20 (but not all — when the kid receives the watch it's set at 9:00). And there are many other instances, so keep your eyes peeled.

However, as amusing as it is to tie 420 to pot smoking and hunt for it in popular movies, the number has its dark side. Hitler was born on 20 April 1889, and the massacre of 13 victims at Columbine High School in Colorado took place on 20 April 1999.
