And so begins another week of Salaryman – but first, an interlude. Jessica and Moon have taken time out of their busy work schedules to teach you all how to do the Russian Chair Dance, popular with the Soviets and the next big Youtube hit in the making. Better start doing those knee exercises so you don’t strain anything!

Beast Saga – 01
And here’s another new project for you guys! This is admittedly a change of pace for us, as Beast Saga is more of a kid’s show than our usual fare (it occupies the same time slot Bakugan used to air in), but we all figured we’d take a trip back to our childhoods and give this a chance. It’s your standard Saturday morning cartoon, with heroic heroes, evil baddies, and lots of flashy lights to keep the kiddywinks entertained. Oh, and apparently, they’re based on the Battle Beasts collection that came out in America in the 80s – for those of you who remember that decade!
This may be our one and only release of this show as our translator promptly retired after translating this… but we figured as we were mostly done with it, we’d get this one out to the world and maybe another translator will spring up out of nowhere. Fingers crossed!
Oh and don’t forget to visit our office chums, Ruri, who form an integral part of this joint.

Office Etiquette Guideline #100: Well, it seems as though, yet again, no one listened to the previous guideline about workplace-approved games. Rock-Paper-Scissors is not on the list of acceptable games, therefore we wash our hands of any and all related injuries and ill-tempered tirades. If a bear claws your eyes out, don’t come crying to me, young man!

Office Etiquette Guideline #99: Never, under any circumstances, play dominos at work. It may start off as all fun and games, and you might even get creative with different-coloured box files, but inevitably, the heat of competition will turn violent. The above photograph (Exhibit A) is CCTV footage of the shock on a murderer’s face when she emerged from her rage-induced psychotic killing spree to find that she had brutally butchered all of her co-workers. All over a game of dominos. The only work-friendly game that can be played in work time is Solitaire.

Office Etiquette Guideline #70: While it may seem like a good idea at the time, mooning your co-workers to illustrate a point is frowned upon, no matter how relevant they may be to your conversation (this includes but is not limited to stories about ass warts and hemorrhoids). The above reaction is what is most likely to occur, followed by a fairly hefty lawsuit for sexual harassment. Also, announcing it as a rebuttal while you’re pulling down your pants and exposing your apple-shaped derriere is no longer funny.
While you’re waiting for the police to pick you up for indecent exposure, watch this handy promotional video we’ve made on what you’re meant to do when you work in an office:

Office Etiquette Guideline #49: If you end up going Chris Brown on your wife with a frying pan, it’s probably best not to tell your work colleagues, as they probably won’t be as understanding as you’d hope they’d be. Incidents like this can lead to frosty atmospheres in the workplace, so if all’s not well in the marital home, please keep it to yourself.
