    This category over at Reddit has been providing me with awesome breaks in between grading final exams this week: IAmA Very recent examples: I landed in Sydney, Australia with no work visa, no friends or family, and only less than three dollars in my pocket. I’m 26, and I used to be a manager at a GameStop…You know there’s things you want to know… I’m a 26 year old gigolo in New York City. I just started earning enough to quit my day job.

    In Japanese, this specific position might be called a reverse inari-otoshi (falling inari). If you’ve ever seen an inarizushi up close, you may understand why. It’s usually performed on an unsuspecting high school friend who is sleeping face-up, and does not make you automatically hated among your peers, however disturbing the imagery might be (this is all hearsay; I didn’t even go to high school in Nippon). Say it three times with me: Inariotoshi, inari-otoshi, ?????? That is your cultural baggage of the day; some things cannot be un-read. (image from Cyanide and Happiness via Adam)
