@hchavers@JoetatoChip Smoking is just bad regardless- sorry, but if you think of it as what it really is- inhaling the partially oxidized effluent of plants, it’s about the same as standing in a pile of burning leaves [except for the lack of psychoactive substances available in the aforementioned leaves vs MJ or Tobacco].
/giphy lung damage
Vaping Cannabis on the other hand, or using the extracted THC/CBD compounds in food items- is much more medically supportable, because it’s much less [immediately and obviously] damaging in ways that promote Cancer and heart/brain disease.
I guess I should have cared enough to click exactly two more meh buttons in the Mehrithon. (Would you believe that “the Mehrithon” comes up as a typing suggestion on my iPad?!)
Because here it is, 4/20, and my streak is 418. Le sigh.
You started with 12 fucks.
You ended up with 12 fucks.
Therefore, however many fucks you received during the day you also gave away.
It could be zero, but also could be 3, 12, 157, 420, etc.
@f00l@LaVikinga@RiotDemon
Hmmm…that seems to imply that fuck instances are not free. Calling fucking bullshit. Bringing in @carl669 (aka fuckmaster of Meh) for confirmation/clarification on the matter; your fucking assistance is much appreciated.
In anticipation of the Fuckmaster of Meh ruling, I hereby submit
@carl669@f00l@llangley@RiotDemon Holy hair color! I haven’t heard this in years! It’s gonna be stuck in my head all day!
And now it’s time for a fresh cup of shut the eff up. I’m up before the sun with a load of yard work to tackle. I think I’m going to have to dig that shirt up and wear it today in honor of Fuck-it-all Day.
420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is slang in cannabis culture for the consumption of cannabis, especially smoking cannabis around the time 4:20 p.m. and also refers to cannabis-oriented celebrations that take place annually on April 20 (which is 4/20 in U.S. form).[3]
Origins
In 1971, five high school students – Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich[4] – in San Rafael, California,[5][6] calling themselves the Waldos[7][8] because “their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school”,[9] used the term in connection with a 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about,[7][10] based on a treasure map made by the grower.[11] The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time.[9] The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase “4:20 Louis”. After several failed attempts to find the crop, the group eventually shortened their phrase to simply “4:20”, which ultimately evolved into a code-word that the teens used to mean consuming cannabis.[10]
Mike Edison says that Steven Hager of High Times was responsible for taking the story about the Waldos to “mind-boggling, cult-like extremes” and “suppressing” all other stories about the origin of the term.[12] Hager wrote “Stoner Smart or Stoner Stupid?”, in which he attributed the early spread of the phrase to Grateful Dead followers[13] – after Reddix became a roadie for the Dead’s bassist, Phil Lesh[4] – and called for 4:20 p.m. to be the socially accepted hour of the day to consume cannabis.[13]
And onward, for the “holiday”, the cultural tradition, the jokes, the t-shirts!
@f00l Ok… I was on the east coast in the early 70s doing all the hippie/freak/header stuff and that phrase must not have worked it’s way over until I was done with all that stuff.
Can’t I just not give a damn…?
@shahnm Actually, let me phrase that in the form of the poll:
I am just not giving any fucks. None at all.
/giphy all the fucks I give
@shahnm
@heartny - I feel like Ms Noire ought to be replying with at least a “fuck off.”
Based on the item up for grabs I’m thinking this is some kind of drug reference. I do not participate in recreational drug use.
@Darrell2
What about professional drug use, though?
@Darrell2 Agreed
I just hope Elon doesn’t tweet anything today.
@cengland0 I hope he does.
@cengland0 agreed
@sammydog01 no!
@cengland0 See above for the relevant giphy…
No drugs for me, mkay?
Can someone explain why smoking is bad and smoking is good? I think it’s a setup for another source of addicted tax payers.
@hchavers Smoking is bad for the same reasons as drinking (except less so), smoking is good because it’s fun.

Time to celebrate the holiday! then easter tomorrow.
Today is my step-son’s birthday
If I start today with 12 fucks and I finish today with one dozen fucks, how many fucks did I give 4/20 today?
@LaVikinga
/giphy zero fucks
@RiotDemon Math is FUNdamental!
@LaVikinga @RiotDemon
In that case:
You seem to have given away all the fucks you received.
Or gained all the fucks you gave away.
Or something or other.
@f00l @LaVikinga @RiotDemon partially agree with @f00l as there’s not enough info to answer quantatively.
You started with 12 fucks.
You ended up with 12 fucks.
Therefore, however many fucks you received during the day you also gave away.
It could be zero, but also could be 3, 12, 157, 420, etc.
So the answer is…However many fucks you received.
Do I get a $5 off coupon?
@LaVikinga @llangley @RiotDemon
I will grant you one $5 discount on one fuck instance.
It’s up to you to find a means to redeem the coupon.
. No assistance will be offered or given.
/giphy coupon!
@LaVikinga @RiotDemon
A Beatles commentary:
@f00l @llangley @RiotDemon Oh! Love a good coupon on something I frequently use. My husband says I have the vocabulary of a well educated sailor.
@f00l @LaVikinga @RiotDemon
Hmmm…that seems to imply that fuck instances are not free. Calling fucking bullshit. Bringing in @carl669 (aka fuckmaster of Meh) for confirmation/clarification on the matter; your fucking assistance is much appreciated.
In anticipation of the Fuckmaster of Meh ruling, I hereby submit
And I proffer this in return
@carl669 @LaVikinga @llangley @RiotDemon
As I mentioned:. It’s up to you to negotiate with someone and get them to honor the coupon discount on the fuck.
You can already negotiate with yourself.

@f00l @LaVikinga @llangley @RiotDemon
“fuckmaster of Meh” has a nice, innuendoy, ring to it.
@carl669 @LaVikinga @llangley @RiotDemon
“Fuckmaster of Meh” or “Fuckmeister of Meh”?
Which is correct?
@f00l @LaVikinga @llangley @RiotDemon
i think both are acceptable and i would answer to either.
@carl669 @f00l @LaVikinga @RiotDemon
I love you guys
You have a way of brightening my day
@carl669 @f00l @llangley @RiotDemon Sounds much better than being called Fuckwit.
I get it, I just don’t do it. (NTTAWWI)
My way of celebrating 4/20:
Making special brownies today!!! Anyone want some?
@Gypsigirl213 yup- but they drug test randomly at work, so sorry, can’t.
Celebrating by wishing death on all the 4/20 people.
@Al_Coholic
/giphy Death Wish 4/20
@Al_Coholic Ouchy- dude you’re harshing the metaphorical buzz!
/giphy harshing my buzz
@Al_Coholic @PhysAssist @2many2no huh?? Seems quite drastic, hope I’m just missing the reference…
I still don’t get it.

@f00l @lseeber me too! It wasn’t a thing back then. But, then again, every day was 4/20
@f00l @llangley Got that right. It’s amazing what one brain cell hanging on all these years can accomplish!
