Get the TANSTAAFL mug.The Japanese name for the raccoon-dog, Nyctereuctes procyonoides. In folklore the animal is credited with supernatural powers, including shapeshifting, money counterfeiting, and most notably of expanding its already very large scrotum to use as a drum or a weapon. Tanuki statues are a popular part of Japanese kitsch, portraying a jolly, plump little anthropomorphization of the creature, usually with a straw hat, a bottle of sake, a purse of bills for his carousing, and of course his big wrinkly testicles dragging on the ground between his feet.
The Studio Ghibli feature Pompoko was never properly imported to the United States due to its copious and unabashed supply of tanuki balls.

Get the tanshi mug.A period of darkness across the rank and file of the Highway Patrol. A period where management cares more about strict policy adherence than quality officers coming out of the Academy, and increased officer safety through better performing equipment and uniforms. A period where “do as I say and not as I do” has become the policy of all managers above the rank of sergeant.
The era of the tans:
Inclement weather will not “excessivley soil” tans. Therefore, the blue utility uniform is not acceptable.
We know your shift ends at 1500, but it’s 1458 and you’re already in civilian attire. We’ll have a talk with your supervisor about leaving early.
“We know you delivered a baby on the side of a freeway and it was filmed by news media. But you were wearing your blue uniform. Therefore, we’re giving you an MOD.”
