Story of my life

More importantly: Moriurara!

Wait - Kotoshoho won the yusho?? That still hasn't sunk in...

@Gernobono passed away three days ago, suffering from leukemia since February. Among the people I've got connected with by our shared excitement for sumo, Gernot was one of my dearest and longest friends, and I know many others to feel the same, first and foremost his dear wife @tsunamiko. I'm still at a loss for words. As for many of you he was known mostly for his contribution and success as veteran in many sumo games, I thought this was the best place to put it.

Even my own first name is based on Νικόλαος , to veer that thread even more off topic.

If he believed in the afterlife, he might enjoy meeting Akebono, Shane MacGowan, Dik Browne, or Lemmy Kilmister. May he wait a while longer for Chiyomaru, Stephen Hendry and Brian Setzer.

Very sad to hear that. He played the belly drum most impressively before his bouts. I also (perhaps wrongly) remember him to have a tattoo removed before being allowed to join.

There was another Fujinokawa who changed his shikona to Kashiwado and moved from Isenoumi beya to Nishikijima beya. The much more famous Kashiwado (also from Isenoumi beya) adopted that name ten years later. Edit: Scratch that "moving" part. It looks like Isenoumi and Nishikijima were one and the same at that time.

Most remarkable reaching his highest rank after 16 years at age 31, promptly followed by his hitherto first 0-7 record.

Ronald Biggs would be proud.

Definitely longer. I can't even remember a time when a single hit didn't lead to a direct link.

Really? In Germany they all drive Mercedes...

Careful, his weird kind of moonwalk dohyo-iri won't do his toe any good.

And how would that fit a typical sumo tachiai? Both numbers are way off.

On the other hand, wasn't Hakuho's tachiai praised for its absorbing power? I remember a video about that as well, but I don't know if it's the same as above (didn't watch).

To elaborate a bit on the "falling out of a 3rd storey window onto concrete" analogy, because it's wrong on so many levels: Translating the collision of two bodies into "force" doesn't make much sense when you want to describe the impact. Picking "concrete" here makes the analogy even more useless, because falling on a thick mattress would imply the same formula for "force", and I'm sure which kind of floor you'd prefer to land on. What you're trying to do here is comparing an inelastic collision of two equally sized bodies with a collision of an soft human body with a rigid and rather immobile planet. Guess which part will take the brunt of that collision? That's not a case of apples and oranges but cranberries and pumpkins. Hakuho may be the GOAT, but he's no celestial body yet.

Your memory might be correct, but it's still nonsense.

Six different shikona in 75 basho with one of them used twice smells like weird record. He even burned through four different given names besides his own. Another evidence that Lady Luck is either deaf or blind or both or simply doesn't bother.

KE Takayasu - KW Aonishiki - M18 Shishi - that's my take...

hotmail ≠ gmail

Today was the first time since I-don't-know-when that I received a confirmation e-mail again in my gmail spam folder.
