Also a reminder to those of you posting here from America talking about smoking weed tommorow I would like to remind you that the Escapist frowns on people talking about doing illegal things on it's website.
I'd consider it more of a casual smoker holiday over stoners anyway.Proctorninja said:i wouldnt say that its just a stoner holiday some of us casual smokers partake also
It started with two dudes in highschool who would go to a wall after school at 4:20 and smoke pot, it then began to be used as code for pot and a time to smoke pot and eventully turned into a holiday. G4 does a huge special on it every year.Furburt said:Get stoned.
What else is there to do?!
Still, it shall be interesting. Thankfully, I just finished my Irish exams, so I've got something to celebrate.
EDIT: Oh yeah, expect a bunch of people giving out about marijuana! That seems to be what always happens on these threads.
It's the 20th of April, which is a stoner day of celebration, due to the stoner 'number' being 420...for some reason.Pandalisk said:um....What is 420? Care to explain?
Anyway, on the American calendar, 4/20 is tomorrow, so everyone gets stoned tomorrow, essentially.For you, maybe.Xan Krieger said:there's nothing special about 420.
Is your SafeSearch on or something? My first result was the Wikipedia page on "420 (drug culture)" and, with the exception of one naked woman (covering her privates with cannabis leaves) every image was 420 super-imposed over cannabis or people smoking pot.Pandalisk said:Dear Allah, man. Safari (Or just about any search engine) just gave me graphs when i did..So.. Yeah.. 420 Is when we celebrate the rising price in Flax? Awesome.SwimmingRock said:Dear lord, man. Google (or just about any search engine) it or check UrbanDictionary.com.Pandalisk said:um....What is 420? Care to explain?
Also, I forgot this in my first post: http://www.pointsincase.com/nathan/2007/01/post-420.html. Gonna reread that tomorrow.
420 Munster Championships? Awesome!
Tried Urban Dictionary (Which i had never heard of before)
Cannabis eh? Dont do drugs so i shant, Sounds like a riot though.
well if the mods come in then we can deal with that but for now speak freeBudZer said:Methinks it's a bad idea to speak of illegal activities on this forum.
it is indeed, but i dont think it would effect it that much, must be something my end, i doubt its because it Google.ie but who knows.SwimmingRock said:Is your SafeSearch on or something?

I now actually really want to see these graphs you speak of. Also, we should totally celebrate the 420 Munster Championships.
What and appease the fascists who want to claim the day as their own? Hell no!Kalezian said:then, shouldn't stoners, oh I dunno, move the 'holiday' forward or back by a day or two?Furburt said:You don't like marijuana much, do you?Kalezian said:way to go celebrating one of the most notorious evil dictators in human history jerk.
Anyway, according to a friend more versed in narcotics than I who I rang just there, the 4/20 thing is actually just an embarrassing coincidence.
Most people use drugs. Some harder than others. Caffeine is a drug. Pharmaceuticals are drugs.Kalezian said:maybe, too bad Hitler also used drugs.Furburt said:Bad week for you then, it seems.Kalezian said:*ubiquitous post about Hitlers Christian views*
sorry, I have gone through that argument too many times this week, and its only monday.
Still, best not to get worked up about it, let all the stoned people have their fun, and then we can all return to the drudgery of everyday life.
Couldn't have said it better myself!ReincarnatedFTP said:What and appease the fascists who want to claim the day as their own? Hell no!
Why do you people to give in to fascism?
But seriously, trolling or not, your statement is the equivalent of saying "Yo Christians...could you maybe, you know, move Christmas over and give Saturnalia back?" or walking up to your classmates and saying "Quit walking on Native American land!!! Give it back!!".
It's no longer known or culturally used as the day of Hitler's birthday outside of comedians and Neo-nazitards who make Special Ed kids look like the people who built the Hadron machine.
It is culturally and significantly thought of as a day in which people participate in cannabis use.
Appeasement was proved to be a bad idea. Thanks Chamberlain!
Anyway, Hitler was still just a person. It's not when he was born that matters, it's the horrible things he did. Getting all uppity on his birthday is just playing right into the Nazi's hands. We should do our best to just forget about it.
edit: he was also a vegan.
