PESCATARIAN, DECK

   From the NEW YORK SUN, 28 January 2003, pg. 1, col. 1:

_Brooklyn's Happy Hipster Is Definitely "Deck"_
By LAUREN MECHLING
   Leave it to the author of "The Hipster Handbook" to ask a reporter to meet him at Oznot's Dish, a Williamsburg joint where, Zagat's cautions, "waiters with sideburns set the tone."
   Robert Lanham, 31, is all too happy to decree that everybody else in the restaurant is a hipster, but over a plate of vegetarian crepes (he's a pescatarian, thank you very much), he squirms when asked if he counts himself among them.  Apparently, there's something Zen Koanish about being a hipster: If you are one, you wouldn't dare say so.  And if you aren't one, then you can say whatever floats your boat.
   This mum's-the-word-when-asked-if-you're-a-hipster rule is just the tip of the iceberg in Mr. Lanham's super-sharp bible of what is cool, or, as he calls it, "deck." (...)

("Deck"?...There's a nice mention of "pescatorian" on the AskOxford web site.  I couldn't find "pescatorian" beyond the 2 September 1994 post on Google Groups--ed.)

"SUPER BOWL" AND MORE

   I just did a check of THE SPORTING NEWS here at NYU Bobst.

23 July 1966, THE SPORTING NEWS, pg. 50, col. 5:
   Partisans of both sides will contend with heated eloquence until the "world-world" match reduces speculation to a hard fact next January.

5 November 1966, THE SPORTING NEWS, pg. 2, col. 3:
   ...the super championship game between the National and American Football League winners on SUnday, January 8.

26 November 1966, THE SPORTING NEWS, pg. 12, col. 3:
   Then early in the "mud bowl" game which the Pats and Broncos played in Fenway Park...

10 December 1966, THE SPORTING NEWS, pg. 2, col. 3:
   _How About It, Boys?  Let's Have Dream Bowl_
   Commissioner Pete Rozelle--you're doing a nice job, Peter, with your championship game, the Runner-up Bowl, the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl.
   How about going one step further and playing a Dream Bowl matching the stars of the American Football League against the stars of the National Football League?

17 December 1966, THE SPORTING NEWS, pg. 6, col. 2:
   _Will Super Bowl Pot Nip Player Rebellion?_
   (...) ...the first meeting of the league champions, generally called the Super Bowl.

24 December 1966, THE SPORTING NEWS, pg. 7, col. 3:
   _Chiefs Dreaming of Cookie Jar_
   (...)  (They ought to call that bowl the Cookie Jar because the sweet swag is $15,000 each for the winners, $7,500 for the losers.)

FWIW:  HOT DOG
17 December 1966, THE SPORTING NEWS, pg. 14, col. 3:
   It has already been noted by the punsters that when San Francisco hired Peanuts Lowrey as a coach, it was a great ad for the concessions stands.  The Giants, in addition to selling Peanuts (Lowrey) to the public, have Cookie (Lavagetto) and (Herman) Franks.  The Giants, it is said, also have a few "hot dogs," as temperamental players are called in the trade.

FWIW:  BIG APPLE
12 November 1966, THE SPORTING NEWS, pg. 2, col. 3:
   Say you pick eight winners.  You get 60 to 1 odds.  You should get 255 to 1.  Or try for the big apple.  That's 10 out of 10.  They'll give you a walloping 150 to 1.
