Honoring the sticky-icky.....


Thanks for the hook up, peapod.....
* In Seattle, Washington, radio station 104.9 The Monkey encourages listeners to call in and do bong rips over the phone at 4:20.
* In Portsmouth, Ohio, from 2000 - 2002, the FM radio station 94.9 WZIO (now defunct) used to air a segment during "The Traffic Jam with Tony Phillips" entitled "Get the Led Out" at 4:20pm weekdays, where 15-20 minutes of "non-standard" Led Zeppelin music was played (time enough to roll and smoke a joint with some friends). The segment was sponsored in part by Visine Eye Drops, "because they get the red out when we get the Led out..."
* The Stone Coast Brewing company has a beer called the "420 IPA", and on the case is says, "It's always 4:20 somewhere!"
* Snopes.com, High Times magazine, The Marijuana-Logues, and The Straight Dope claim that in the early 1970s, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the water tower. One piece of evidence supporting an origin of the term from the time 4:20 is the fact that the number is always said "four twenty". This theory is also the most cited, and the most widely-accepted.
* In an episode of the show Futurama called "The Farnsworth Parabox", an alternate universe where everyone is a hippie is numbered as Universe 420.
* In Fat Albert, Doris (Kyla Pratt) is seen wearing a shirt reading, "PHILA 4:20"
* It is rumored that in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, all of the clocks show the time as 4:20.
