Posted April 17th, 2008 at 05:58 PM by PochoMan
Well were just days away from the infamous date of April 20th.
Over the past few years I have met, and are no loger associated with, people of diverse background who have certain "vices" I do not agree with.
On several occassion they had refered to be "420 friendly". At the time I didn't know bout the reference. So I did a little research into April 20th and found some intresting facts.
Persons, Places, and Events asscociated with April 20th...
This is only a sample of things that have had happened on April 20th. Some good, some bad.
Just something to think about "IF" you're "420 friendly".

This is an ironic blog to read after I just noticed today that we have at least one member with "420" in his/her username!
My sister's birthday is actually 4-21, and I have met someone who was very proud their birthday was 4-20.  |

I just did a short list of thing I thought some 'Scapers would be able to identify with.
Also my Ex-Wife's Birthday is also on 4/20. I have often referred to her as a reincarnation of Hitler. BTW, we are friends so this is not to knock her. Besides she was here as I was writing it. |
