The Bowl Evil? Chicago Trib 1990

[bluegrassbrian]

I was googlin something else when I found this article from the Chicago Tribune, September 1990.

It includes a quote from Tad Gage, a 33 year younger version, and mentions of Iwan Ries.

The Bowl Evil?

Thanks for sharing, it's always interesting when pipe smoking occurs in the mainstream press.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen anyone smoking a Cellini in WAYS? hmm

I tried to go to the link and got shaken down for a subscription, which I didn't get, but I didn't get to read the article either. Interesting that this appeared in the Tribune. That was my dad's morning paper on the train, and on the way home he read The Daily News, which is what I got to read when he got home. The Trib ran a good obit on my dad which pleased the family.

Same boat here, couldn't read it. Everything wants a fn subscription now, it's getting irritating. That and 50 pop ups of "are you sure? We know everyone's broke right now and everything is moving to you own nothing, everything is rent or lease, but give us some of the money you don't have too".

Like, no, go beg the wealthy land owners like Blackrock or [insert other corporation here]. That's where all the money is.

I clicked something and got the subscription popup to go away. Hopefully I didn't sign up to donate any organs in the next few days.

Funny, I got no pop ups about subs.

Anyone want to know an easy way to get around newspaper article subscription pop ups?
Works for iPhones and I'm sure androids too, but I haven't had an android for a few years.

Settings > Safari > Advanced > turn off JavaScript.
Bye bye pop up pay wall.

Of course you'll wanna turn it back on when you're finished reading an article.

Thanks for the article! It was a good read, but above all, thanks for the Javascript hack!

There will be a knock on your door soon.

Forget the windows, they will be covered.

Forget the chimney, a helicopter with night vision will be circling.

Forget tunneling, a geophone team will have set up a perimeter.

Best to just go peacefully.

After all... you clicked

I clicked, didn’t get a popup, but a carrier pigeon with $20 mysteriously showed up on my window ledge.

Kindly attach a tin of Stonehenge to his leg and send him back. Pleasure doing business with you.

Will do, when I get the $20 balance due.

I was hoping you wouldn't notice. Strap the bill to the bird and send him back.

In a rare moment of largesse, I decided to strap that bird with one of the five pound bags of 5100 that I have stashed away.

Be on the lookout for a one-legged pigeon, headed your way.

I think that may be a few pounds over the certified load carrying ability of said conveyance.....

What a gent! I'm so excited that I'm going to stand on my porch and wait for the bird to arrive, no matter how long it takes!

The bird struggled valiantly to lift the 5 pound bag, but unfortunately you now have a one-legged carrier pigeon.
