Well you know I’m gonna stick with my reefer
Ain’t gonna be messin’ round with no cocaine.

Astro Boy – a mixture of Superman and mighty Mouse goes underground! In what else? A drilling machine!. . . EDITOR
The Valyx, a rather unique earth-digging vehicle developed by Professor Prober, suddenly appears: ten years and half a world away from its initial plunge. But strange markings have appeared on its surface. Astro Boy, his sister Astro Girl, and a stowaway reporter, Reed Daley, take the Valyx back into the earth to investigate. Many miles down they discover a tribe of Deros, people who originally came from the lost continent of Atlantis. Using their destructive Rock Smog Machines, they intend to wage war on the surface people. Reed Daley turns traitor to help King Duba, but their ambitions are foiled by Astro Boy along with a fortuitous earthquake. The good robots return to the surface, wiser, but fearful that no one will believe their story. Of course, we know it’s true! . . . Description posted with video.

The Internet is up in smoke in anticipation of 4/20. Practically a national holiday for college kids and aging hippies alike, 4/20 celebrates the consumption of cannabis, Mary Jane, pot, whatever you like to call it. According to Wikipedia, the holiday got its origins in 1971 from a group of teenagers in San Rafael, Calif., who liked to meet up at 4:20 p.m. to get high. As a result, 4/20 became their secret code word and 40 years later, the code word for an entire nation.

Is 420 A Party Or A Protest? Actually, It’s Both by Russell Barth April 15, 2013

. . . “Every year for the past decade or more, Ottawa, like many other cities around the world, has had a 420 celebration of some sort. And in true Ottawa fashion, we don’t do it anywhere near the same as any other city. Most cities have a single central location that is agreed upon beforehand. Up until last year, 420 Ottawa was an organically-formed event where the majority of participants went to Major’s Hill Park (right across the street from that eyesore of a US embassy) for the huge party/drum circle that occurs there, while another crowd would form on Parliament Hill to break the law on the front lap of the seat of power.” . . .
