idiomocracy:
posh -
When sailing from England to the eastern parts of the Empire (India etc) the north (port) side of the ship was more comfortable as it was shaded from the sun in the southern sky. When returning it was the starboard side that was to the north, shaded, and preferred by the passengers. Wealthy travelers could afford to pay extra for these preferences and therefore their baggage was marked P.O.S.H......Port Out Starboard Home.

Keep your shirt on! -
Shirts in the earlier days were rather expensive, so when a bloke was thinking of fighting someone he would take of his shirt. So if you had a grievance with a person and he began to take off his shirt (in other words, I don't want to fight with you.)
On the Democratic side, Clinton beat rival Barack Obama in a tight Nevada contest. She won the popular vote but Obama won more delegates. (???) I guess I need a civics lesson.
all ads are annoying but this one makes me laugh (for now) which makes it reasonably effective.
classic french cinema on ovation tonight - les enfants du paradis.
tv sports announcers are prone to hyperbole but broadcasters for the australian proclaimed yesterday as one of the most exciting in history. im not one to judge but blake federer and hewitt won five setters with hewitt, the hometown favorite, finishing up his 4hr 45min match at 445am melbourne time. and the arena was still filled to capacity.
ive never watched the aussie open because of the time difference and because im not prone to watching tennis in the winter. but if you can overcome these two obstacles coverage on espn2 generally begins at 7pm est.

Flavor Tripping
miracle fruit parties and sundry grub fests
mad flavor science
Flavor Tripping is an ongoing series of Bacchanalian food tasting smackdowns that occur about once a month, beginning in February ‘08 in NYC and SF. Our events are smallish affairs held in an undisclosed location - not (only) because we’re wanted international criminals, but because we dig switching things up and matching the spaces to the events we’re hosting. The first series of tastings center on miracle fruit (Sideroxylon dulcificum if you want to get all scientific about it), a cranberry-sized West African berry that that numbs your sour and bitter tastebuds for a couple of hours after eating it. That means that everything that used to taste sour now tastes sweet. Fo’ reals. It’s like a candy Willy Wonka would have invented - after eating one stout beers taste like chocolate milkshakes, grapefruits taste like pixie sticks, cheeses taste like frosting, it will make even the crappiest tequila taste like lemonade (and strangely enough, it will make all wine taste like Manischewitz).
So if you’d like to sign-up for the miracle fruit parties — there’ll be a banquet of food, beer, liquor, and beats provided by our resident DJ, plus damn good company — drop us a line at supreme@flavortripping.com. We’ll send out an email informing you of the next party.
…and or those of you who can’t make the parties, or just wanna experience the deliciousness on yer own, we’re also selling ye olde miracle fruit. Hit us up for more details and pricing.

Flavor Tripping is a ruthlessly-badass bastion of good taste. We throw parties w/ food. These parties are in NYC and SF. The parties are monkey loads of fun. These parties often include rare and exotic foods you ain’t gonna find in no dumpy bodega. The parties are run by a loose-knit-but-also-badass group of friends with much experience organizing large events in the states and abroad.
To receive e-mail updates on our next Miracle Fruit party, drop us a line at supreme@flavortripping.com. It’s worth it. Promise.
((what do you drink, what does it do to wine??))

this looks nexflixable - paris, je t'aime.
I would like to believe this is self parody, only I don't think it is. Gawker.com says--"if Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 10." (I think the couch thing was a 6, I give this a 12.)
This is old news, but new to me, and I'm sorry but If you think I can resist posting this, you've got another think coming.
April 11 and 12 will find the Louisiana Superdome interior turned into a pink and red vagina -- "with a big vagina entrance..."

Recommended:East 15. Homemade tofu was excellent (better than Megu I thought) and the cod special with miso and mushrooms was amazing. Nice quiet room. Started by the owners of Tocqueville, which is right next door. Next time though I want to sit at the sushi bar.
Got to hand it to this bank robber.
