Zenjimoto 40 Posted October 15, 2005 someone else besides me must have met Moose. (i would post the pic but i dont look good in it) Not a good pic, but a few of the SML had the pleasure of meeting Mushashimaru at Brunch (Thanks, Lynn!). The lighting was terrible (as it was around the casino & the venue), but I did get a photo. I'll post despite not looking good in it, nor making it much better in photoshop. :-D If you wanna post a pic in which you look GOOD, then how about the one where you go bonkers standing behind the Yokozuna? :-D :-S Heheh... I did see Musashimaru as well, but missed that photo op.... darn! :-D Cheers Zenjimoto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest masamune2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Oh, and here is definitive proof that Hakuho WAS gambling :-D Call the cops!! :-S in this picture, it looks like hakuho is wearing a yukata of kaio's(Eh?). does anyone know why? (the obi is his, tho'.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asojima 2,874 Posted October 16, 2005 in this picture, it looks like hakuho is wearing a yukata of kaio's(Eh?). does anyone know why? (the obi is his, tho'.) Good catch. Believe I read in another post that it is not unusual for a rikishi to wear a yukata with the name of another rikishi who he admires usually with the name reversed right to left as it is here. Kaio (Tomozuna) and Hakuho (Miyagino) are in the same Ichimon for what that's worth. Maybe doing it in honor of Kaio since he is kyujo and could not attend.

Zenjimoto 40 Posted October 16, 2005 in this picture, it looks like hakuho is wearing a yukata of kaio's(Eh?). does anyone know why? (the obi is his, tho'.) Actually, turns out that this is very common :-D If you were to try and identify rikishi by what is says on their yukata, you would be totally out of luck. :-S I just went back to the pictures I took, I got: Hakurozan wearing Roho Tamanoshima wearing Tokitsuumi Asasekiryu wearing Kaiho Tokitenku wearing Asasekiryu Roho wearing Kokkai Kotooshu wearing Wakanosato Kisenosato wearing some one I am not totally sure of, but it's NOT himself :-D Iwakiyama wearing Musoyama (I think) Takekaze wearing Dejima and several more... :-D Barbara tells me that heyas traditionally exchange fabric of the rikishi, so it's common practice :-D Cheers Zenjimoto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takanorappa 97 Posted October 17, 2005 If you wanna post a pic in which you look GOOD, then how about the one where you go bonkers standing behind the Yokozuna? :-D (Eek...) Heheh... (Whistling...) :-S Yeah. A truly classic photo... :-/ I will post it once I get my hard drive replaced (Thursday-Friday). It crashed on Friday night. Unfortunately, I'm on a PC where I can't download the photos. No pics were lost. I just can't pull them off the SD cards on this machine. Of course, it had to happen after I had a web page all set to go, too. (Hugging...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonosuke 28 Posted October 17, 2005 (Blushing...) (Laughing...) Yeah. A truly classic photo... :-/ I hope you provide some info with the photo like when and where it happened as well as if you got kicked in somewhere etc etc Can't wait (Nodding yes...)

Jonosuke 28 Posted October 17, 2005 Just wondering ...with all great photos everyone took in Vegas - I wonder if someone can set up an online photo album somewhere with all of us contributing the photo of our choice to the cause. We can get the rijicho/exil to set up the link so we can all access from here as well. Just an idea...while having a cup of Java... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takanorappa 97 Posted November 9, 2005 A month after the fact, and I've finally got my Vegas pictures up. I've put up a page with pictures from the SML dinners, but there is also a link to an Imagestation album with my 100+ pictures. They may not be the best quality, but some might be interesting. Anyway, you can dig through there to see my "meet the Yokozuna" photo. (Applauding...) (Laughing...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakusotsu 6,390 Posted November 9, 2005 Thanks for sharing, Takanorappa-zeki! (Applauding...) I'd love to see the priceless 'meet the Yokozuna' pic as well as the other 100+, alas: "You must be signed in to view this album." (Laughing...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Applauding...) I didn't expect that, as the album is marked public. I'll look for alternatives. YahooPhotos is a possibility. I'll get back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, it looks like the page lies. If you click the orange "View Album" button (under the "you must be signed in..." message), you can see everything. No login required, as far as I can tell. Weird. Once in, if you clikc on a specific picture, you can get to the hi-res version, too. Edited November 9, 2005 by Takanorappa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakusotsu 6,390 Posted November 9, 2005 Works, thanks! I actually consider the hi-res "Gaawsh!" becoming my current wallpaper. (Applauding...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_the_mind_ 0 Posted November 9, 2005 great pictures. its nice that Asa smiled for all of them, some others seemed less willing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mitsuhokkai Posted November 9, 2005 Sorry, couldn't resist adding a couple of my own... Taikai went visibly red when the 'friendly' lady to the left whispered in his ear that she loved him. Tochiazuma, my fave rikishi, possibly winning the 'most gormless' award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sasanishiki 57 Posted November 9, 2005 Taikai went visibly red when the 'friendly' lady to the left whispered in his ear that she loved him. There is almost nothing visible in that photo! (Nodding yes...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Nodding yes...) I should have mentioned that it happened after the photo was taken. You've never seen a rikishi run away faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takanorappa 97 Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) I just noticed that the Kyokai's site has a nice feature on the Vegas tour, including pictures. I don't believe it was posted before. If you look closely you may see a certain SFMer. Edited November 12, 2005 by Takanorappa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
