i heart trash talk

and today sees a nice article on angela holder of mercanta coffee hunters, a british pro coffee taster.

oh, and for those you waiting with baited breath on how bikram's glorious afore-mentioned yoga competition went, well, reports are in.

the best thing about bikram is his all-american trash talk. when asked how he responds to criticism that yoga shouldn't be competitive, he replies with his standard modest discretion and tolerance.

his critics, he says, "believe yoga means sit and eat, meditate, look like a hippie and smell bad." i mean, this is as good as you used to get from sir charles barkley.

the 411's right here.

what strikes me about the report is the nonchalance of the yoga journal editor. but then, why would they do anything to endanger their advertising revenues or conference attendance fees?

what else should i expect? of course they do it in india. they also are reported to do lots of things in india that aren't so cool.

but hey, if it happens in india, well! that's enough for me. . .i'm gonna end up a student of eddie stern's any day now at this rate, like it or not!
