Interesting Dates.

So Tommorow is 20 april 2005, making it the 116th aniversary of Hitler's birth. Ok, so no one knows, and fewer care. Interestingly enough it is also 4.20 the 'holiday' where greasy long hared hippy types go out in public and get stoned (hopefully arrested too). Interesting that those XXXXchose Hitler's Birthday.   Now Comming up on the 22nd is the 90th aniversary of   attack on Kitcheners' Wood in the Battle of St. Julien's. For the parties involved, the commemeration of the battle is observed on the 30th of April which coincidentaly is also the 60th aniversary of hitler's death. Which I am sure most people would gladly hist a pint to in good riddance. At this point I have no Idea where I was going with this topic, but I found it interesting none the less. So drink to thatXXXXXXdeath, remeber St. Julien's, stomp a hippy etc. That is all.

The reason 420 is associated with Hitlers birthday is because hardline skinheads who didnt drink would smoke pot. And it was a big day to them- as it moved along it became associated with just smoking pot. It is also the date of the columbine shootings.

I don't know if that's right or wrong, but here is the explanation for the drug significance

Thats an interesting read. However it doesnt address the Hitler ties. It only briefly mentions it at the bottom. Hmm....thanks for the article.

I always thought it was a Police term, refernce to the drug. Here is also a site I found when Ai googled "420".  Goes into detail the term and historical significance

Well you should. I have recently become aware that the comment was out of line and reflects poorly on the Army. I would like to make a public appology to all hippies who may have read that. I would also take this opportunity to retract the jocular sugestion that a fellow member would either like to be my girlfriend, or lay off. It wasn't a nice and cuddly statement. Also If my language offends anyone, feel free to PM me about it and I'll make more of an effort.

Well I do love Calgary, but not that much :blotto:

If thats what it takes to set you off, we'd have you crying in no time

My 420 story

Ha ha today was "420" and where was I you ask? Well thanks to the foresight of my teachers Myself and a bunch of exchange students were at the legislative building. Now myself being very anti-drug was "Upset" when I couldn't walk 10 feet without being accosted to take part in the "festivity's" or purchase some "grass". If you were every to know me you'd understand I'm not one to take much
bull$h*t from a bunch of greasy stoner scumbags. and I said somethings somethings that for fear of reprisal I will not repeat 
Was anyone else In a similar situation today?

And here I thought the hippies were just coming down from the triple crown of April 19th: Waco, Waco Revenge (Okla City), and Adolph Hitler's birthday.

Yes it was, they cancelled classes at the school for the day as they do every year. I don't blame them.
