Word trickled out online, days later, via a single, anonymous, breathless telling of “the best fight I’ve ever seen,” a “nondiscriminatory ragematch” in a “lion’s pit” that the club prefers to call the Tap Room. That storied pub opened in 1933 with “an English tallyho, drawn by four horses and manned by liveried coachmen and footmen,” according to an article in The New York Times.

"tallyho" is more in keeping w/ lol 1933 American-ruling-classes-Anglophile-pretensions than in whatever pretenses the 2012 version hold, 'tis true.

Rothstein had loved flying since his years at Brown University in Rhode Island, where he would buy a $99 weekend pass on Mohawk Air and fly to Buffalo, N.Y., just for a sandwich.

There's something so awesome about unlimited first class flying that it is overwhelming my quid-dar right now. I don't know why that's the case when the same is not true for me of private planes. I guess I enjoy the "got over on the airlines" aspect of it.
