BBC: One easy old trick helps you live longer – eat more chiles!

by

codexWant to live longer? It’s easy, according to the BBC. Eat more chiles! Specifically, the BBC recommends “chillies,” and we’ll do them a favour and labour under their rules whilst minding the gap:

For thousands of years, humans have taken a masochistic pleasure from adding chilli to their food. Now research indicates that the spice that has undoubtedly made our lives more interesting may also make them longer.

There is only one mammal that enthusiastically eats chillies.

UH OH! It looks like the video got pulled and the account of the uploader got shut down for reasons. Sorry, pochos. We didn’t do it. We’re victims, too. 🙁

The punks come every week to celebrate feminism, animal liberation, not buying from trans-national corporations, and the do-it-yourself ethic.

    Latino Heritage Pochismo Pride: Create Paradigms for Profit Profiles

    madrigalgreenroomHere’s how I make the money, pochos:

    Our control seamlessly incentivises the group. Our metrics-driven process interactively motivates the Head of Client Leadership.

    The resources enforce our profit-maximizing and competitive forward plannings. A collateral value creation prioritizes our profiles, while the category manager broadens a decentralized transparency by leveraging specific and/or spectral messages. The standard-setters think out of the box ahead of schedule, whilst paradigms enhance a next-generation, world-class, business philosophy.

    An accessible decision-making architects the feedback. Controlled momentums generate healthy efficiency gain.

    Eat goat tacos to help the Chicago Cubs post season (video)

    by

    goattacosIn Chicago, baseball fans love their loser Cubs.  Some say the Cubs’ bad luck is the result of the 1945 Curse of the Billy Goat that has thwarted the home team’s dreams. Now a local bar is urging patrons to fill up on goat tacos before going to Wrigley Field to defeat the evil curse. Is this witchcraft or wishful thinking?

    Emilio Estefan: ‘Todos Somos Mexicanos’ (video, lyrics, credits)

    by

    estefanWe at POCHO have been around so long we remember when even Mexicans didn’t want to be Mexican. (We think that was just about two weeks ago.)

    But Miami-based Cuban-American Emilio Estefan and his friends are all Mexicans now, at least in a music video.

    By the way, we at POCHO also remember when Emilio Estefan threatened to sue the L.A. Weekly because of a “Mexiled” column that Lalo Alcaraz wrote portraying Estefan as the Fidel Castro of the Latin Grammys. Oh, but that was so long ago…

    Let’s all be Mexican instead! Mexican, tu sabes, is the new black.
