Asahi Beer Bot Quest

 Back in 2006 there was a contest in Japan for an Asahi Beer Robot. I bought all the Asahi beers I needed to get the stickers for the contest but being in Japan, the whole form was in Japanese. I never got around to getting it translated and missed out on the contest. I figured I wouldn't win anyway, because it was nation-wide and they only had 5,000 Beer Bots to give out. I convinced myself that I could just buy it on eBay once the winners got bored of it. Well... It's been over a year! I want a Biru Bot!! I found one website that had some, but they've been out of stock for months. The price was $750. That seems reasonable considering the Biru-Bot is an unstopable force of awesomeness.

 What the Biru-Bot does:

 Holds a six pack and keeps it cold in his ICY BEER BELLY

At the push of a button he pops open his head takes out a can, opens it and POURS IT INTO A CUP!!

He even makes sure to pour slowly so there isn't too much head.

HE TALKS!!!!!!

I think you can also record your own messages on him.

There are videos on YouTube.

Feedback Hostage Taker

 If you are a seller, and you won't give out positive feedback until your buyer does, you suck. The buyer's job is to pay in a manner fitting your needs. To provide a correct address, and to stay in contact if necessary. If they meet these requirement satisfactorily, then you give that person POSITIVE FEEDBACK. It doesn't matter if the shipment arrives or not, they did their part. Which means, they should have their +1 long before whatever it is they purchased is even sent.

 I post this because I actually had a seller who refused to give me positive feedback until I gave her positive feedback. Thus she took my +1 hostage. I told her she was wrong to do so, but she wouldn't budge. I in good conscience could do no more and the transaction went un-feedbacked.

 If the Seller sends a product that isn't as promised, is it the buyer's fault? No. Take the hit. Stop sending bad product. Move on.
