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.
I don't remember when I first heard 420, but it was longer than 15 years ago. It was not a thing when I was in college. Popularized early 90s, I'd say. I think all the explanations for where it came from have been debunked.
It was definitely well-known when I was in high school in the mid to late nineties in NJ.
I learned tonight that Aldi is not the grocery store for me. The entire business plan seems to be modeled on being as inconvenient as possible for the shopper, and after fighting my way to the register with a loose armload of purchases I found out that they don't accept either of the payment methods I normally carry.
My brother opines that Aldi is not so much a supermarket as it is a scavenger hunt.
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!
I love this city, but JFC we need to cut down on the asshole partying behaviors. Says the woman who bartends across from the ballpark, the night before the first Dodgers series.
Who barfs when they're high?!
People who've also drank all day.
Since I *know* someone here is bound to know the answer to this...
Suppose that a person were trying to write a brief passage in King James Bible/Shakespearean era English, because that person's story includes a spell involving an artifact of that time. Should that person say "By my blood be THOU destroyed" or "By my blood be THEE destroyed"? Because there's the hymn "Be THOU my vision," but OTOH "thee" just sounds better to me on a gut level.
Today I made an agreement to buy some stuff from Oprah. Well, Harpo.
I've never paid much attention to 420, but I learned when I was in kindergarten that I was allergic to that family of plant. Remember the macrame trend?
The internet tells me that "thou" is for subjects and "thee" is for objects. Destroy thee, or be thou destroyed, I'd say.
Good old macrame. Well, that would have been a nasty allergy to discover unawares in non-topical form!
Thanks, -t! "Thou" it shall be.
Yep. "Be thou destroyed" is correct.
I spent the evening planning and packing for my trip tomorrow to my moms. She's having cataract surgery and i will be chauffeuring her to and from, plus pampering her for the rest of the week during recovery. I have to get up at 4:30 to get to the plane on time so I better lie down and try to sleep.
May it go safely and successfully -- both your trip and mom's surgery!
I woke up all ready to drive, and then remembered that I'd decided to take the day off....
