Zenjimoto

What a disgrace. He should have already done it a few days ago, when it was clear he wasn't anywhere near sekitori level, but certainly after going 0-8. Can't believe he actually showed up on day 9. At this point he's just embarrassing himself. I sure hope he doesn't do a equally embarrassing free-fall through Juryo if he indeed decides to carry on this travesty next basho...

Very dark anthrazite with a metallic sheen!

As always, a hearty thanks for keeping the SB and all its offspring alive. It warms my heart every time!

Correct, it wasn't, and I also miss it very much *whimper*

Fabulous! Thank you!! :-)

You mean you can actually change your placeholders? (In jonokuchi...)

Me, three. I usually wouldn't care much, except that I have Homasho on the slate, whom for obvious reasons I would like to replace (with Takekaze, for the record). I'll stay tuned for now, hopefully won't have to play with an automatic kyujo-fusenpai on the bench...

Well, in fairness, Miyabiyama always has been "a disgrace to the Ozeki rank", so this would be a fitting end to his career (what, dropping to Makushita?). Not sure what he's trying to prove at this point - if he goes MK again at M16, he won't stay in Juryo long, either - and he was 33-57 in 2012. Doesn't look good at all. That said, I do hope he KK's and sticks around in Makuuchi. He's one of only 4 rikishi left who were in Makuuchi when I first started following sumo Aki 2001...

Really fantastic work from Doitsuyama, Golynohana, and all the others who have helped out in transferring the games to the new server, and getting things up and running again. Thank you so much! On my personal wish list, even more than the Sekitoto results page, would be the listing of the daily bouts on the Bench Sumo entry page, which was immensely helpful in making picks... (Kimura Zatoichi...)

PICTURES, people!! :D

Zenjimoto >>> Zoom in Jet! (Flying a plane...)

Since I saw "Barfi", it's Priyanka Chopra. Go see! B-)

(Holiday feeling...) Rock on!

(Sign of approval...)

... is today. Whatever it is that happened to him, I wanted to take a moment to remember him today, and to appreciate the many contributions he made while he was with us - he is still sorely missed. :-(

Amazing feat! (Bow...)

I predict Hakuho will win the Senshuraku bout to save his honor, but the kettei-sen will go to Harumafuji to leave no doubts about his promotion. (Yusho winner...) (Dohyo-iri...)

He's done well for himself, given that he has his own custom smiley in this forum! Slowly but surely more and more of them are going away: No longer with us: (KaioU...) (Mickey...) (Toki...) (Iwakiyama...) (Roho...) (Buyuzan...) (Kokkai...) (Futeno...) Still here: (Osh...) (Bart...) (Sakke...) Perhaps it's time for introducing some new ones? (In jonokuchi...) Btw, any of the Europeans candidates to stay in the Kyokai after retirement? Doesn't seem like any of them are...?

(Nodding yes...)

Is this video clip online anywhere? I'd love to see it (Enjoyable TV program...)

Maybe it's time for a "bloopers" thread? (Laughing...)

Speak for yourself! (Sigh...) Thank you for the video, as always! (Spooky TV program...)
