Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Make lots of money, Theo!
Man, my co-worker who is part of the mgmt team, my boss, and my bosses' boss are all out sick today, apparently all with different things. Great grand boss just dropped by to let us all know we can come to her since otherwise we are leaderless. As a practical matter, it doesn't make much difference, but it feels kinda weird, like maybe I should take opportunity to run amok or something.
Run amok! How often do you get the chance?
Ugh, the helicopters are already circling over head for 4/20, which is a fucking nightmare day in my neighborhood as you can imagine.
Pot-Heads On Parade! Stoner Bros! Deadheads in all directions! Chronic-ally stupid behavior!
Amok! Amok! Amok!
Although, to be honest, it seems like other people have that covered.
Is 4/20 new (ish). I don't remember it when I was in college-- I would say I first heard about 10 years ago when my students could not come and work because it was 4/20 and they were really big stoners.
What even is 420? I mean, why is it code for pot? We definitely didn't have that In My Day.
Around here 4/20 is both the anniversary of the Columbine shooting and pot heads on parade. Recreational pot is legal though not in public spaces. Doesn't stop the faithful though.
Supposedly it started with a group of students who would meet at 4:20 and get high.
I think it's been around for 10 or 15 years.
Around here, it's an excuse for morning DJs to giggle like 12-year-olds and pretend to be hip.
