Been a crappy couple of days, had to tell myself, nothings fucked here dude, but things are getting fixed.
Still, not the relaxing celebration of 4/20 I was looking for. Hope all you Dudes had a good one.
Happy 420 woot!
Yeah dudes, Happy 420!
Smoke em if you got em!
On a crappy day, I always say "fuck it, I'm going bowling and grabbing a few beers and a few burgers."
420?
what?
Little help for the Dudes this side of the pond please.
(Or have I just missed something as per usual, all my life there seems to be a party going on else where that I've not been invited to).
I'm guessing 4/20 is a date, but I'm not sure what the months are called after the 12th. December, followed by Craptemeber, Slacktober, Yoburary, Bovril... er...
I think, actually, they mean 20/04, being yesterday's date. But, errr... I remember 2004 and i'm not willing to relive that year, personally :)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh!
Thanks biker. I will read and digest.
I like the idea that everyone involved in it's origin was obviously so stoned they can't remember where it comes from, excellent (I would hail the Discordian one but last time I did that the whole server died for a few days but you know what I mean).
I adore the Grateful Dead and really enjoyed reading their early history in a book that has the flying eyeball on the cover (can't remember the title will dig it out when I get home this evening. I bought it as a teenager.
There is always the enevitable conversation amongst stone head friends of mine as to where and when you would go if time travel where true, I personally would go back to the early sixites (but at the age I am now so i can experience it properly), and live through all the beatnik and hippy phase going to Woodstock to end the whole thing off. in fact I think all the people that where at woodstock are actually time travellers that have all gone back to experience it.
20/04, is that some kind of eastern thing?
When will you Brits learn how to use a calender? Month, then day, then year, jeez.
JK, LOL

I read a biography of the Grateful Dead many years ago now which was written by their manager Hugh Scully. It was an excellent read.
Peace.

A calender? Isn't that the metal thing with holes in you use to steam vegetables?
I always did wonder where the American calender came from, in proud defiance of the rest of the world ;) And why you clocks don't display mintures then hours then seconds :P
It is a strange and intriguing system you have, which has never really hindered me, as I was born on the 6th of June, so I'm 06/06 no matter which website I have to confirm my age with :D
Anyway, now I understand, happy belated 420, dudes!
Actually, our military does it the same as you guys, day, month and year.
But when do you guys change your clocks for daylight savings?

Err, it was about a month ago they went forward, but they're talking about scrapping it (no that they haven't been talking about it for years). The general message is: "Fuck the Farmers! Who cares if they can't see what they're doing with that wheat thresher?".
And, as a lazy git, I'm fine with not having to change my clocks :)
It always amazed me that by simply turning the hands of our clocks we could make the Sun come up earlier...Amazing!
Sure beats just getting up an hour later or earlier...depending on the season. 8)

While not the dead (since the real dead died with Jerry) the band "Further" with Phil and Bob and the dude from Dark Star Orchestra carry on the sound very nicely. You can barely tell it's not Jerry. Both the guitar and vocals.

Saw the Dead in Syracuse when I was 15, went there in a VW van, with friends, one of which being Jack Daniels. It was awesome, one of the best experiences of my life.
They definitely had/have that Dude 420 spirit.
Loving this little (Alice in Wonderland) steam-punked caterpillar bong - look he's got a little rug ;D
