Sort of OT: We did not know what “420” meant

[quote=little lady]”It is not a police code and it’s origin is nothing other than some high school kids made it up because that is the time of day they would meet to smoke back in 1971. Shockingly it was in Northern California, ”

This may have been how it got started BUT NOW it is considered a national holiday for users.

There are people that don’t go to school or work on April 20th or “4/20”. They stay home to smoke as a celebration of that day.[/quote]

We always take the day off and drive up to Golden Gate Park, SF. A lot of others do too.

Happy 4/20 in advance!

[quote=OC Burns]So you’re NOT 420-friendly?

What about on the porch…outside?[/quote]
Are you asking me? I don’t care if people do it outside, but I worry about the nosy older neighbors smelling and reporting the “Mexican cigarettes,” as the other poster so humorously put it! Best bet at our house: the huge garage with the garage door shut. Pretty much all smoke gives the kid and I headaches.

Wow. That’s Hitler’s birthday. I guess it’s just a coincidence.

[quote=doofrat]Here’s a funny story I have to share on this theme. When my sister and I were kids in the 70s we had a neighbor house that was four teen aged brothers. Sometimes they would babysit us (which basically meant they would make sure we didn’t drink some drano or something while mom and pop went to dinner for a few hours)
One time my sister, my mom, and I were out riding our bikes around the neighborhood (we were about four) and rode past a pile of burning leaves. One of us said “hey, that smells like Mexican cigarettes!”. They never babysat us again.[/quote]
LOL. Similar story. We had a teenaged babysitter who was told by my parents that she could not have any friend over. Her boyfriend always showed up after my parents left. The girl would say, “He is a police officer so we will be much safer with him here. But you can’t tell your parents because he will be fired if the police department knew he was here instead of out patrolling the streets.” We all solemnly nodded. They would nuzzle while we were still awake but would apparently get hot and heavy after we went to bed. Well, eventually my parents came home much earlier than expected and that pair was BUSTED! Never had her as a babysitter again. As for the “policeman,” he was just a high school punk, but what do you know when you’re 2, 4, 6, and 8, like me and my sibs were?
