+Hey, are you busy? I just wanted to let you know IT'S 4:20!
+You know, the funny thing about time is we often forget to pay attention to it and we miss out on things. ALMOST LIKE 4:20! LIGHT UP!
+Oh say can you see. By the blunts early light. IT'S 4:20!
+Can you smell what the rock is cooking? No? PROBABLY BECAUSE IT'S 4:20!
+Willie wanted to let you know that IT'S 4:20!
+It's 4:20! It's time to light up!
+4:20. Can you stand it? Wait, that's not right. IT'S 4:20!!
