Got a flyer in Akiba telling me that Feb 14 is actually Dried Sardine Day, not Valentine's Day. An excerpt from the sensible flyer:
These days, the utter disregard of the people of Japan towards dried sardines is finally being recognized. Women give me cacao bean products during this time, taking out massive loans with 200% interest to give the now-popular "triple return" to their men.
Dried sardines ask for neither this triple return nor the heartbreak suffered when you don't get one.
The captions under the different dried sardine body parts are explaining how sexy and seductive a dried sardine is—slim legs, curvy body line, piercing eyes.
LOL I like this way of celebrating much better than V'Day. Valentines Day sucks!
So Happy Dried Sardine Day, everyone.

If I got dried sardines for Valentines day, I'd be like, this chick must really be fanatstic in the sack. I mean, think about it. The accepted norm, probably around for hundreds of centuries, is to give the object of your affections chocolate. Everybody give chocolate. It's the missionary position of Valentine's Day gifts. But this woman decides to fly in the face of all that and gives you dried sardines. If that isn't a signal for a night of hot, every imaginable position sex I don't know what is.
