April 20 - National Stoner Day?

I also should have added the link is not work safe. Sorry.

Was that the day they used to have the big Smoke Out at U of Wisconsin Madison? Ahh, the good old days. :smiley:

That’s obvious. Unless you’ve traveled through time and work at Atari.

“What is it we were talking about again?”

We got a thousand of the little stoners out for it today . I went out to lunch about 2 blocks from the smoke-in; when I came out of the restaurant I had the most intense craving for a chocolate bar :cool:

Does anyone remember the song “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” by Bob Dylan? The song with the famous refrain “Everybody must get stoned!”

Well, just try multiplying 12 times 35. What’s the product? Ah-ha!

That’s pretty neat, I never noticed. :smack:
I used to smoke pot a lot (don’t do it anymore, not my thing), and 4:20 (a.m. or p.m.) was a big deal. When April 20th came around, it was like a friggin’ holiday. Albeit, one where you smoked a lot of pot and then ate a lot of food.

I told two of my co-workers today, “I can tell you why all of the idiots are out tonight; it’s 4/20.” They both looked at me like I was stupid. Definite generation gap – 'bout 20 years. I honestly didn’t realize 420 was a “new” thing.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

I’m far from “hip”, but I’ve heard this term for years.

I wonder if it’s possible to get an idea of where this generation gap exists (if it exists). I’m 24. How many people between 20 and 30 know of this term? Between 30 and 40? 40 and 50?

Ha! I love it! It makes me think of a group of State Senators looking over the bill - the young ones snickering, while the older ones furrow their brows and wonder how anyone could be discovering a joke in that thick forest of legal verbiage.

Maybe there is something to this late afternoon time.

Any serious British stoner will tell you that Countdown on Channel 4 is best enjoyed caned.

It begins at 4:30pm.

April 20th is “AngelicGemma’s Brithday” Day. Nothing else! Anyone who says anything different is lying!

Happy Birthday, sweetie! I trust that your gift arrived safe and sound?

My dear, you must be lying. Because everyone knows that April 20th is “Captain Roscoe’s birthday” Day. And nothing else!
But yeah, back at school, most people commented on the fact I had the coolest birthday ever. And this.

Oh yes. Squinting at the TV, arguing over who can come up with the most believable made up word and giggling uncontrollably every time Carol’s letters come out F - U - C … or something. Classic

I am between 40 and 50 (although just barely) and I never heard of it until my daughter mentioned it last night. She is in seventh grade. :eek:

The DJ’s on one of the XM stations (can’t recall which station) gave a little doper blurb at :20 past the hour for each time zone, I’m in Central, so they started at 3:20 local time. And this was back on a Sunday in March, but I’ve been aware of 4:20 for quite a while.

I also missed work yesterday… :wink:

Happy Birthday!

Now hurry up with that - puff-puff-give!!

Huh. Think 4:20 on 4/20 is big? I remember being at school at Michigan, home of the annual Hash Bash when it fell on 4/20. Now that was a holiday.

I wonder what would happen if you took a hundred college students, packed them into a park and got them drunk instead of stoned?

Oh yeah, marijuana’s evil…:rolleyes:

Why not get them crunked? :smiley:

Thanks for the birthday wishes folks!
