How Much Do You Love Your Beer?
I bet you don’t love it as much as this panda. Now, I love my beer and all, but I don’t think I love it as much as this panda humping a beer can. I found this in a liquor store in the Shimokitazawa neighborhood, which kind of reminds me of Williamsburg with its hipster

Happy St. Patrick’s Day
It’s St. Patrick’s Day and the bars are already packed (at least, I assume so).
