...really know anything about professional sports. Currently, my favorite athlete is Wiggler, the giant female worm in “Mario Tennis” that, upon winning a match, will squeal and giggle (the cross-species equivalent of a chest bump) and then turn into a flower. And, to make it worse, all but one of my blockmates is just as completely uninformed as I am. On our last blocking group vacation, beach football was almost unanimously booed down in favor of sunbathing after about 15 minutes. We were a failed inception of the Great American Bro Blocking Group...
...scene, Eteaket, eteaket.co.uk, is a hit with the Edinburgh cognoscenti. Most of the 40-plus leaf teas are sourced from smaller estates around the world, which the company says secures a fairer price for plantation workers and is kinder to the environment. However, "it's not all kaftans and flower power," says owner Erica Moore.

Lévi-Strauss combined both of these ideas in his own person—the unruly directions in which his thought bloomed speaking to a consuming intellect at once exquisitely savage and fiercely beautiful...
...cost of filling an otherwise empty room is virtually nothing. Plus, it brings in customers who may return to the hotel in the future - and spend cash. Hill, who trades roughly $100,000 a year through the service, uses his credit to pay the hotel's $650-a-month flower bill, and recently refurnished eight of the hotel's rooms without spending a penny. He's also purchased jewelry through barter and then resold it to hotel guests for a profit. The system works for personal use, too. Hill's wife has spent the hotel's barter credits on cosmetic...
