Mister Micawber 0 Posted November 26, 2008 . Just found you. Don't know what I'll talk about till January 11th. Maybe I'll get bounced for inactivity. I live in Yokohama. I got here just in time for Chiyonofuji's last basho. I go to the Ryogoku Kokugikan once in a while, but mostly watch the bashos on NHK...except when that awful announcer comes on, the one that calls every defeat 'Pancake Time'. I used to be a member of Akebono's support group. And I used to win a lot of money in the sumo pools, but now I can't find anyone to play with. Uh....anybody here interested in a little 'game of chance'? . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 67 Posted November 26, 2008 Hello and welcome to sumo forums. With my bad luck in sumo games here (free) I'm not about to lay any real wagers on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Micawber 0 Posted November 27, 2008 . Thanks for the welcome. It looks like there are still sentient beings on this forum. Guess I have to find a rikishi avatar, eh? Or strap on my mawashi and get my photo taken. No, I'll look for something on-line. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orion 431 Posted November 27, 2008 I live in Yokohama. I got here just in time for Chiyonofuji's last basho. I go to the Ryogoku Kokugikan once in a while, but mostly watch the bashos on NHK...except when that awful announcer comes on, the one that calls every defeat 'Pancake Time'. Tune in with confidence. He retired after September 2006. Orion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sokkenaiyama 81 Posted January 7, 2009 Do you like to gamble, Mr. Micawber? Gamble money on sumo games? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Micawber 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Do you like to gamble, Mr. Micawber? Gamble money on sumo games? Yup. Got PayPal? . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sokkenaiyama 81 Posted January 8, 2009 I never said I gamble. It was a tweaked quote from a great movie. If you want to compare yourself to the competition, join some sumo games (and while you're at it, tell us your shikona). And no, Paypal is not available in Romania, alas.

Mister Micawber 0 Posted January 8, 2009 . No, I don't want to compare myself to the competition; I want to make money. Sorry, I have no shikona, Sokkenaiyama-- I'm not a sumotori. I'm an English teacher. (And thanks to management for the Sumo Glossary. I'm an awful speller.) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fujisan 533 Posted January 8, 2009 Sorry, I have no shikona, Sokkenaiyama-- I'm not a sumotori. I'm an English teacher. (And thanks to management for the Sumo Glossary. I'm an awful speller.). Yes?!?! I think your missing the point MM..... None of us are Sumotori but having a Shikona is part of the fun around here...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
