It's the Most Wonderful Time, of the Yeeeeeeeear!



It's that time of year again! Of course the origin of the term will probably always be debated. Even though there are people who exist on this earth that view Wikipedia as The National Enquirer...


I beg to differ... You naysaying skeptics who think we are alone in this universe and that the Earth is flat!... It's not!



I LOVE Wikipedia, and she loves me. Yes, she! How else would Wikipedia be so smart?! Sometimes Wiki and I go out on dates, and wiki stimulates my mind! She has so much to offer me. Sometimes people mess with her, but she always has the help of others to regain her... composure! But enough about her and I. On to what she has to say about 420:

"420, 4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty.) refers to consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture. The term originated from a group of schools in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971. The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. According to an April 2009 article on The Huffington Post, the group called itself the Waldos because its members hung out by a wall after school. Writer Ryan Grim, citing interviews with anonymous Waldos, claims that the group met by the statue at 4:20 p.m. to begin a search for a crop of abandoned cannabis growing near Point Reyers that they had heard about. They never found the stash, Grim writes, but smoked plenty of marijuana while looking for it."


So there you have it Ripley.


HAVE A NICE DAY!
