“Making It,” The
Chicago Seed, vol. 5, no. 5, May 1970, p. 18. “[I]f you want to get a
friend a nice gift, get 10 or 15 people together and ‘acquire’ [i.e., steal] a big plastic blow-up chair
or pillow. Then everybody sits around the chair and blows it up with all that
beautiful smoke. If your friend is ever out of dope, he can just pull out the
stopper and take a good toke!”

‘I Felt It in My Gut’: Sleep
Eating Lands One Woman in Urgent Care
When Jenna Evans couldn’t find her engagement ring one
morning, she looked inside herself to solve the mystery. Evans, 29, woke up to
find her engagement ring missing from her finger and her bedroom altogether.
She said she checks for her ring all the time ever since her fiancé proposed in
April. “So, in case you missed it, I swallowed my engagement ring in my sleep
on Tuesday night,” Evans wrote on Facebook. She didn’t remember removing her
2.4 carat diamond ring, but she said she remembered swallowing it with a big
gulp of water like a vitamin. […]
So, in case you missed it, I swallowed my engagement
ring in my sleep on Tuesday night. […]

The trope of a dog retrieving dynamite appears in a
few old movie comedies, such as Yes, We
Have No Bonanza (Columbia Pictures, 1939). In this short comedy western
starring the Three Stooges, Moe angrily throws a lit stick of dynamite at Curly
but it lands near their mule. While the pair are rushing to get water to put it
out, a dog retrieves the dynamite and drops it into their supply crate. After
it explodes, the Stooges fleetingly believe that the mule has been blown up.
