Aside from all the dope smokers and hippies out there who are making this day all their own
Today is also Hitler's birthday. Around this time of year in the past, a lot of people have gone completely batshit crazy and have gone out their way to shoot shit up. Especially schools.
It's something about mid to late April that just makes people crack up. I have no idea what it is.
My hope is that we won't see a repeat of this kind of thing this year and thank God we haven't had a massacre yet.
But the month is not yet over.
So to all of you and yours out there, I bid that you all will take care and stay frosty.
'Cause I want you to come on back safe and sound, ya' hear?
