Hokey Pokey (In love...) Lyrics and clip here

I have another one: don't come wearing a mawashi in the same color as your favorite rikishi with his shikona painted on your chest...

Things not to do during your first basho AS A YOKOZUNA:

1) Sing "I'm a little teapot" during your own dohyo-iri.

2) Leave the tsuna at home.

3) Ask the tsuyu-harai to do the dohyo iri instead of you, because you left the tsuna at home.

4) Make a tsuna out of toilet paper and give it to the tsuyu-harai to do the dohyo iri instead of you, because you left the tsuna at home.

5) Ride a motorcycle to the Kokugikan.

6) Ride a motorcycle into the Kokugikan.

7) Win 15 bouts by henka.

8) Lose 15 bouts by henka.

9) Announce your retirement.

LOL: If rearranged and the numbers changed a bit, you can actually do ALL these things in your first basho as a yokozuna.

And don't ask Chiyotaikai if he'd rather wrestle with you instead of winning by fusensho against Shimotori.

I'd like to see that...

How about when Musashimaru arrives asking "Okay who ordered the flabergram?"

I was always thinking about jumping onto the dohyo sometime during the lower divisions when you can get fairly close. I'd love to see what they would do if a woman (moreover a foreign one) would enter the sacred dohyo. (In love...)

But that is probably something for your second or third basho...(if you intend never to come back)

You wouldn't love to see that. Trust me on this.

Shizumemono would need to be dug up and the dohyo reconsecrated (?). Schedules would go awry and you would be persona non grata on Kokugikan for the rest of your days as you undoubtedly know already.

I've been called the Ultimate Male Chauvinist Pig, child molester, loser and whatnot (loser I do admit) for condemning the kind of plans you seem to harbour, for fun or not.

Please... do you want to cause trouble for other foreign women who love sumo and wish to see it live? What would be your point?

That gives me another idea,how about shouting-

"Hey you big girls blouses stop dancing and start fighting," during one of mister one minute Kotonowakas matches with new boy Takanutsuru.

Hey, it was only fun. I'm really sorry, I did not mean to offend somebody. I have to admit, I really thought about if I would be able to get onto the dohyo the first time I was actually staying close to it. If that makes me a bad person, I can't do anything about it. I would never ever do anything like that and I will never ever again make any bad jokes like that again, I promise. I love to see sumo live in kokugikan myself. So, I am really really sorry about this. (Enjoying a beer...)

What's Shizumemono? (Enjoying a beer...)

shizumemono, lucky items buried into dohyo during the dohyo-matsuri ceremony; washed rice, nuts of Torreya nucifera tree, salt, alga, chestnuts and a calmar

I don't wish to give an impression I'm somehow reprimanding you as I'm not.

(Even if I was to act as the rijicho. As a new member you might have come here via a direct link and haven't seen the pages from the domain root onwards where the connection between my shikona and the fact I am here also a kind of a chairman. But I digress...)

I seem to be the traditionalist of Internet ozumo community. There might be others as well, of course, but they seem to be quite silent. I don't understand the need for women to step onto the dohyo, rikishi wearing garish mawashi and accusations of yaocho without conclusive proof. I understand some of these things are often brought into discussion for fun. That's OK if the intention is perfectly clear. Often it isn't.

I'm not more equal than other members because I run this forum. Therefore you're cordially welcome to post here anything sumo related (and non-sumo related in Off-Topic subforum) without needing to fear an old f@rt like me getting annoyed. Please, just make it a bit clearer you're joking.

Is that a deal? (Laughing...)

Oh, I haven't shown you this emot either! (Enjoying a beer...)

I don't understand the need for... rikishi wearing garish mawashi ...

You know, they have done that since 1957 (Enjoying a beer...)

And I bet the whole thing started because of superstition when that Tamanoumi guy got his fluke zensho yusho in his peacock mawashi... (Laughing...)

I'm sure...

Not that I personally have any trouble with colored mawashi a la Toki or Miyabiyama, but I do have some problems with superstition...

Anyway, I'm not sure you are so much of a traditionalist as you think. As far as I can see most of us foreign fans have both extremely traditionalist and extremely "modern" opinions on sumo, although what opinions are of the first and what are of the second sort may vary... I don't think you are so different in that (at least as far as I have understood)...

To want evidence (for yaocho and the like) is not being conservative, but being reasonable :-S

I agree that was a bad example. Perhaps I'm not a traditionalist but just a polemic. (Enjoying a beer...)

I still prefer garish mawashi over sponsor mawashi where the logo is the only thing, e.g. the "Samsung" one. But traditional mawashi are best... (Having a pizza...)

One that particularly annoyed me (some guy in the box in front of me was doing this very loudly and drunkenly)...

During a Takanohana/Wakanosato match, screaming "TAKANOSATO/WAKANOHANA GAMBARE!" at the top of your lungs...

Other recommendations:

- Don't try using the salt on the Dohyo to flavor your yakitori...

- When running into a rikishi while using the lavatory, don't ask him for a piggy-back ride back to the stands...

- After a Kinboshi, don't throw ALL the pillows in your box, and your neighbor's box...

Also, I'd recommend against...

using the chikara-gami (the Power Paper...) to write a list of what grocery to buy on your way home...

trying to hit the yusho pictures of rikishi you don't like with tomatoes...

trying to show how big and strong you are by tackling Musashimaru when he comes down the hana-michi...

Also don't add Diet Coke to power water, offer a string to yumitori's bow and tell the middle-aged women in the crowd that Asahiyutaka wasn't that handsome a guy and that Hamanishiki isn't too hot either. Don't try to touch yokozuna's sword to check out whether it really is as sharp as they are in Kurosawa movies. Don't try to borrow a gumbai to move a bit of that humid Nagoya air. Don't borrow rikishi's pillow. Certainly don't hit him with it.

Do try to give Asanowaka a round, red nose for him to wear during shikiri.
