You Decide! http://www.ineedtostopsoon.com/2009/06/23/the-true-origin-of-420-you-decide/ http://www.ineedtostopsoon.com/2009/06/23/the-true-origin-of-420-you-decide/#comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:06:22 +0000 Marc Horowitz http://www.ineedtostopsoon.com/2009/06/23/the-true-origin-of-420-you-decide/ The other day, I bought a tiny dollhouse microwave because the clock read 4:20. I died laughing in the store. Mothers shielded their daughters from me – a creepy bearded man looking at dollhouse kitchen appliances. But seriously, was this a breakthough? Did I finally discover the true origin behind the stoner code 420? Could I discredit Huffington Post’s myth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture).  It makes total sense – stoners get high, get munchies, then enjoy microwavables becasue they are fun and easy to cook!  But most stoners don’t shop for dollhouse microwaves. Exactly! They got the 420 code when they went shopping for real microwaves. They saw 4:20 on the microwave’s digital clock that is featured in the microwave product shot that is printed on the box. This comes from a long tradition of photographer’s assistants setting microwave’s digital clocks to “4:20″ before photographing them for the product shots that are eventually printed on the box in which they are shipped and sold. The dollhouse microwave is just an inside joke; all dollhouse furniture designers are stoners. That is fact.

To further my hypothesis, I set out to see if all adult-size real microwave product shots had 4:20 on their digital clocks. Unfortunately, I only found one.

420 Microwave

Sad.

The other two product shots with 4:20 on the digital clock are toaster ovens, and everyone knows that stoners hate toaster ovens. Mmmmm… this burrito could be ready in 3 1/2 minutes in the microwave… or I could put it in the toaster oven for 40 minutes. Come on.

My theory, I think, is therefore wrong, unless anyone can help me out here????

Hello, “JOSEPH.” I appreciate your eagerness to sell me nicotine patches and box fan, but this wasteful receipt is not helping.

What is the point? All those things on there – the date twice, weird equations, things to do, a “Finnegan’s Wake” passage. When has it been so ok for receipts to get so long? We need to stand up and fight for a shorter receipt. Item. Price. End. If you are interested, send me an e-mail at marc at ineedtostopsoon dot com and we can organize a national protest for a shorter receipt. How’s May 17th sound? I think that’s a Thursday.

Together we are a non-refundable purchase.

It hovers around downtown LA like a weird man made mini-raincloud advertising what made Los Angeles it is today – tires.

I’m fascinated. I briefly traveled around downtown trying to get a glimpse of the blimp from different angles. Next time it is out, I’m going to chase it to its home… and maybe, finally, I’ll be able to meet a blimp pilot! This would complete the circle for me.

A carefully plucked hair from Marc’s beard, split near the middle by nature’s choice. A fork in the road. Do you go to the deserted island with only a battery powered pipe organ or do you head for the jungle with just a leaf blower and fork-lift? This is it! So I must ask you now – Is this photo Gross or Awesome?

facial hair split by nature's choice.
You decide GROSS or AWESOME. Please leave your response in the comments section of this post; you can answer why if you have time to kill.

Tune in next week for Kitchens from the 50s

p.s Yes, something can be grossly awesome and awesomely gross. Take a side.
