And to the asshole who claims that “there’s no minus-element” – my pregnant coworker, who is shivering even in 6 layers of clothes, wishes you a warm gangraping with slimy alien tentacles! Please take the predicted 0.03% increase of the annual gross domestic product and stick it up your ass, to keep your head company!

Reposado de Kanpai
Look what’s on my desk today:

It’s inspiring me! I can just feel the heavenly little molecules of fermented 100% blue agave goodness inside the bottle, inside this can. Yes, that’s right, it’s a whole liter of Cazadores, straight from Jalisco.
Normally, we can’t even get this stuff in Japan. Yet there it was, laying on the table today at my company’s charity bazaar (somebody on a trip to our Tijuana plant must have brought it back and donated it to the bazaar)… I love charity! So I bought it! And now, it sits proudly on my desk, for all to see… Er, to see my support for charity, that is.
I have a big bottle of tequila on my desk at work, and nobody cares!
I love Japan!
Banzai!!

Kanpai!!!
