420
Claim: The term '420' entered drug parlance as a term signifying the time to light up a joint.
Status: True.
Origins: Odd terms sneak into our language every now and then, and this is one of the oddest. Everyone who considers himself in the know about the drug subculture has heard that '420' has something to do with illegal drug use, but when you press them, they never seem to know why, or even what the term supposedly signifies.
“I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?”

During the last gamne of a tied world series, the stress caused him to take more than a sip and was drinking a bottle between innings.
Mel got to the ninth inning, a bit tipsy and the game tied at 1-1.
He faced the first batter and he hit single. The next two batters got up and did the same thing, leaving the bases loaded. The fourth batter got up and he walked, pushing in what would the winning run.
After the game, a reporter asked the batter who walked if there was anything unusual about Faimee's pitching due to the beer.
"Well, if you ask me," the batter said, "I'd say it was the beer that made Mel Faimee walk us."
