Yeah, I fondly remember a time when "420" wasn't a thing anybody recognized.
There is this one thing about 20th of April...
-
@Applied-Mediocrity and since we would write that as 20.4., as it should be, my point stands.
Anyway, if you want to refer to Hitler, you’d go with 88.

@topspin We write it 20/4 here. Or yyyy-04-20 if formal.

One day, my mother was visiting. She was talking to my wife about some things and my wife said "Oh, we can look that up on the Internet".
Info about Tiffany lamps? Just search for "Tiffany".
Dick's Sporting Goods? Just search for "Dicks".
Needless to say, those searches did not return what they were looking for.

I was visiting a friend named Pat Hill. Her two young nieces were also there. I told them "Instead of calling her Aunt Pat you should call her Aunt Hill."
They thought that was hilarious. Aunt Hill, not so much.

then again the origin of 420 and other similar things isn't that much more convincing. It's just the kind of stupid reference that becomes ubiquitous for no good reason.

(Except for being a street number here.)I remember a time when 621 meant six hours of sleep two meals one shower a day...

Thankfully, us WTDWTF members are above indulging in such lame things.

A woman I once worked with had a three-syllable Italian (?) given name and a four-syllable Italian surname (to make clear, although neither of these were her actual name, the rhythm would have been the same had she been called "Rosetta Belladonna"). At one point when we were loosely involved in some of the same projects, she got married to someone with a three-syllable surname (think the family on TV's "Happy Days").
She chose to take her new husband's last name, but not before I pointed out to her that if she had chosen to hyphenate instead, her full name would have been a line of iambic pentameter. She didn't find this a compelling reason to do so, however.

Sounds like we need to revert back for clarification.

Going to schedule a meeting for this, 4:55, shouldn't take more than an hour.

Everyone thinks it's cute that we named all of our children after Star Wars characters.
Except my daughter, Chewbacca.

And what about the person on the right? That's not John Travolta anymore...
Edit: oh wait, might be mr. Bacon from a different angle at a different time.

@boomzilla I usually give it a little time when someone tells me they didn't get on of my jokes. More often than not, someone else will explain it to them before I come back to it anyway, which gives me a good indication that it really wasn't all that arcane at all.
Every once in a while, though, I'll find that someone has posted an explanation that makes perfect sense to a joke I intended to be utterly random (like my assertion once that "Lindsay Lohan died for your sins"). That sort of thing worries me.

"Lindsay Lohan died for your sins"
I guess it more makes sense then that she's walking around alive today.

Don't recall the precise context when I originally wrote it, but I do remember thinking that whatever celebrity I named needed to be someone who was still alive at the time. I think it was after we'd lost Abe Vigoda.
