As healthy and strong as he looks at his age, I'd better play nicely.

Plus, I know how tough you Northern folk are!

Hahaha great pic Yume-sama, I was actually in the area today, wonder if we walked past each other at any point :) (I was actually watch shopping though, just happened to catch a bit of the festivities. honest! :)

Funny thing is this picture is not photoshoped in any way, this is pretty much how downtown Vancouver looked all day. Plumes of fragrant smoke billowing above the heads of Cops sitting around watching people smoking joints.

420 is a national Canadian holliday :)

Hippy smell + marijuana smell does not mix as well as they think it does.

April 20th is my son's birthday! He just turned nine. I really wish this day were not his birthday. I'm okay, I guess, with the 4:20 aspect reflecting the marijuana culture celebration (no feelings either way on that), but the fact that this day is also Hitler's birthday really bums me out.

Too bad my wonderful child's special occassion is overshadowed by the historical significance of a monster's DOB.

Turn it on it's head...Think positively, the good things that come from your son's birth and his growing up has nothing do to with the birth of a genocidal nutbag!!!!!!!!!!

You must have been in nappies!!!!!!!!!!

I saw Empire on release when it came out...it was on with Star Wars as a double bill...it was the coolest thing I'd seen.

The following birthday I got a snowspeeder toy and a load of figures!!!!!!!!!

I was five!

I was 4! , but really got into the toys after empire, like you. Went up in my dads attic recently, and the darth vader collectors case with all the figures are still there. I only had the cloud car , a tie fighter and a speeder bike of the vehicles. Not in boxes with papers worse luck!
