Allergy to the Fans

Today is 4/20 and Captain Cannibus is having a birthday today. Doobie doobie doo? From http://www.captaincannabis.com/CC.cfm:

“420 Turns 30 - April 20, 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of the origin of 420. On April 20 [4-20] 1977 the government Copyright Office issued an official Copyright Certificate to Verne Andru for his ‘Captain Cannabis’ character, making it the earliest documented and verifiable correlation between 420 [April 20] and the counter culture.

Since Captain Cannabis is Hal Lighter’s alter ego, April 20 2007 is also Hal’s 30th birthday. To celebrate, Hal told us, “Dudes, you just gotta do something, like throw a party. I mean, this is serious 420 time!” We’d love to throw a huge 420 party and invite the whole world, but we’ve decided on something a bit more modest, but just as cool.”

Right on…
