Above: "I do not like this Japan Expo"

Above: "Only kidding. I frickin' love it!"

Above: "Ahahahahaha! I really had you going there, didn't I? That was a funny joke"

Above: "Mmmmmm, this cosplayer smells good. The guy behind him, I do not know about yet"

Above: "This is where I keep my awards. Do you have these awards? No you do not. Because I have them. Punk"

Above: "Ah say who... who here has a beers? I demand another beers. Barkeep!"
