		<description><![CDATA[I just love the tea. So I thought I’d revisit Calm-a-Sutra and share another cute little video from YouTube. Really it is sweet. Not ROFL but if you’re a tea drinker it just may be your thing. Really, don&#8217;t take that personally, I have three cats, I can imagine coffee drinkers would be more associated [...]]]></description>

But no, straight from the Lao She Teahouse in Beijing, here are two professional acrobatic tea-pourers. At least they are a safe distance from the crowd. No hacks here.

I do recommend you watch long enough to see the part where they dissuade breast implants. Gross. But eight minutes of this will drive you batty.

		<description><![CDATA[Not to be confused with street musicians. What??? The person at YouTube called this tea-kongfu. They were doing this in the middle of the street…hey don’t you need a permit for this. And there were little children walking around too. Hey watch out, you might poke somebody’s eye out with that thing.
Tea anyone?

I think this bit cuts out the parts about the nuclear bomb at the beginning, so a bit of the Monty Python satire is missing in the setup I think, but the guy that did this is definitely a Monty Python [...]]]></description>

Wow, I couldn’t imagine waiting for the green light from MLB or the NFL in regards to pollution concerns. I know nothing about pollution, with the exception of Philly I [...]]]></description>
