Just to give you an update – so far the Japanese government has been reluctant to recognize Draftsgiving officially, in large part because of the lack of formal preparations underway at this late date, issues about the availability of draft coverage and Yeungling, and the fact that such a move could encourage Joe Theismann to travel overseas.
However, lawmakers did pass a resolution which mandates all citizens spit whenever they say T.O. (it comes up a surprising amount in Japanese conversations). So that’s progress.
The mandatory spit law is very odd and all over the news here, but you probably didn’t hear about it back in the states. That’s the liberal western media for you, always coving the pro-Cowboys stories but never paying attention to important things like the link between the 3-4 defense and constipation.
Wasn’t that why Parcells always made that face?

A lack of Yuengling could definitely hinder Draftsgiving Day celebrations. I imagine the Japanese could come up with the rest of the required hardware for a Draftsgiving Day party (TVs, game consoles, etc.) but properly brewed Yuengling is tough to find outside of PA, much less on the other side of the world.
I hope your stash of Vitamin-Y (as a British friend once called it) lasts you through your goodwill trip to the Land of the Rising Sun.
