OK Ryan is clearly a d-bag......buuuuut....I gotta say, nobody likes those "Japan experts" constantly flaunting all their knowledge of Japanese customs and language and stuff especially when said expert is not IN Japan or has never BEEN to Japan.

I think the point Jay was trying to make was that he finds that guy to be rude and annoying, not so much that hes trying to boast hes knowledge of japan. He said please. XD

Way to go Jay.

The first panal: I look at it as Ryan being obnoxious and annoying and that's just how J dealt with it. First thru asking him to stop with a little tidbit of Japanese culture included.

That's more polite then I would have been in the same situation.

I've known some American moms who are experts with that ninja back hand slap across the face.

@ wm:

It's very possible that J learned it from them... ;)

Dood you are so damn right!

Not to mention you could poke someone in the eye by gesturing like that! Ouch!
