Dude, thanks so much for the promptness and incredible detail

Hanging around here, as a newer sumo fan, events that predate my enjoyment of sumo are often referenced to. I was hoping one of you good people could take a min and fill me in on the

So the Kyushu basho is just about upon us. I am living in "S.A.G.A. Saga" and in addition to taking in a few days of competition, this year I would also like to add watching some morning keiko sessions to my friends and I's little tradition. The problem is, I AM AN IDIOT. I know lots of people do it, but I really have no clue how one would go about finding/setting up/procuring/planning/initiating/organizing/actualizing such an event/sceptical/morning/happening/opportunity. Any advice would be sweet! How does it work? How do you set it up? Where do you go? When? HELP!! Thank you Adipophiliacs!!!

I like the old boy as much as anybody but the writing is on the wall and it says "get out Get Out GET OUT!!!" I'm assuming (praying) that this will be his last run. But then again that's the way I felt coming into last years Kyushu. He is fighting waaayyyyy below the level of an ozeki. His win/loss records have been bested by at least 10 or 15 fighters in every bosho in the past two years. I hope that his pride will make him step out instead of hanging around and watching his excellent reputation spiral any further. Think of the last few years of Elvis ... Sometimes the truth hurts ... I brought myself down with this post ...

Did you by any chance end up there via J/voda/soft ... what ever?? I left DoCo about 2 years ago but now that the SoftBank has taken over I noticed that my Ego web is gone ... bastards. I guess gaijin don't need to know if it is going to rain tomorrow. Perhaps its time to run home to the waiting arms of DoCo, or perhaps AU ... I really love that G-Shock phone, Iwakiyama himself could have it in his back pocket and yet it wouldn't break. And you could soak it in all the sweat in Kaios mawashi and yet I could still answer a wrong number ... perhaps even find a marutomo. Perhaps I have missed something??? Anyone out there want to stand up for S-bank?? BTW, I am usually at my best when no one is watching and it doesn't really matter ...

:-D Can you explain what you mean when you say the fundoshi (mawashi to be correct) has hurt sumo`s popularity. That sentence struck me as very strange. The mawashi is central to the sport of sumo. It`s one of the things that makes sumo unique. People often think of sumo wrestlers as "naked" but in fact sumo is one of the few grappling sports where you have something other than your opponents body to grip. Olympic or Grecko-Roman wrestlers wear more clothes but are naked for all intents and purposes when it comes to fighting technique. Perhaps you meant the fact that one`s buttocks are exposed prevents sumo from spreading internationally? I would only partially agree with this. From what I have seen and heard it`s something that doesn`t bother the majority and of those whose were first shy about it they often said once they put it on and started fighting they quickly forgot about their embarrassment. Also if it really is a problem for a person then they have the option of using cycling shorts under the mawashi. I was wondering if someone might call me on that line .... Here's what I was getting at ... First I want to make it crystal clear that I LOVE the mawashi. I love Asa's crisp black mawashi and I love Kaio's rundown, stained, nasty mawashi. But I don't back down from suggesting that it hurts sumo's popularity (note: I would NEVER want to see the mawashi gone ... hey that a double entendre ... sweet!) a) When I talk to people in Canada or America about sumo they inevitably giggle "Ha-ha diapers!" Uncultured? Probably. Uneducated? Yes Juvenile? Definitely! But the point is true, (unfortunately) the mawashi is BIG a joke in the west. It keeps sumo from its due respect and popularity. The 'b)' thing I was thinking about when I wrote that was: I am now in my 7th year here in the Land of the Rising Sun. I have known .... I don't know ... certainly more than 1000 kids and I think I can expertly say "sumo is not one of the cool sports". A 13 year old in the throws of puberty wants no part of a mawashi. He is shy, awkward, uncomfortable and he is blossoming into a young man in physical ways as well. The 'cool kids' (usually annoying and anointed baseball kids) are going to point as say "Ha-ha diapers!". I don't like it! I would be perfectly happy in a world where every man woman and goat roamed freely in a silky T-back. But that's how it is. Do you really think those spandex shorts would fly in pro sumo???? I see them in amateur, but Ill bet you a weeks salary that they are not kosher in pro right now. And if that is true I'm reserving the right to add c) the skin-fest that is the mawashi is keeping much of the (growing) Muslem world from participating professionally in this fine sport. Anyone want to question the back hair part???

I do not think that "Sumo Elders" and "dense ex-(almost)jocks who constantly and effortlessly show poor judgment" are in any way mutually exclusive ... in fact Im seeing a strong correlation. These men have done more to hurt sumo's popularity than the fundoshi and back hair combined. As I recall Ama apologized immediately after this match for his "poor sumo". What is "henka-like behavior?? I remember once (read "many many too many times") I was with a girl and we start kissing and then we are kissing really hard and now some cloths stop coming off and "STOP" she says, or "a) I have and husband and b) he is on his way home". I think that is henka-like behavior ... and I hate it. I think the 3 new Star Wars, Y2k and New Coke were also pretty damn henka-like.

Ouups ..... Someone answered my question while I was typing it ... thanks Kaiomitsuki! But this excuses none of you from my, slightly more theological, Asa question!!!

I'm a bit lost, who has 22 straight losses to him?? but used to beat him?? My guess would be Kotomituski ... how did I do?? Here is my trivia question for you all ... can Asa make a rock that Asa himself cant lift???

Perhaps you are right, I should not be entitled to voice my opinion on computing / computers because I am an idiot (at least when it comes to computers, baking, spelling, girls and a few other things) and am pretty sure programmers are witches. If I gave my opinion on computing it would be a) wrong and b) misleading. Perhaps I should have said that people should listen with greater attention to Hidariashiyama and I (just my opinion, I have no idea how Hidariashiyama feels... but I bet he feels good, all those sports must make for big ripply mussels). I hope I have not offended you with my sissy crack (assuming you are not in the non sissy 0.01%). Please PLEASE dont voodoo up my already mysteriously (magically??) fricked computer. I am sissy enough for this entire page! Or is it a room?? . . . Site? . . . Blog?

I too come from the fairly unique position of having played football and rugby. I think only Hidariashiyama and I should be aloud to have any say on this subject because if you haven't been there you don't know, you are just showing your nationalism and ethnocentricity in a subtle way. I agree 100%, "both are equally punishing". But they are very different games. In football everyone is a specialist. If you are a blocker that's your whole job, blocking. Runners, run, kickers, kick. For this reason the fastest runners in football are faster than the fastest rugby players. The strongest man in football would be MUCH stronger than the strongest in rugby ... ect ... In rugby however, everyone must be functional, usually adept, in almost every aspect of the game. They are Jacks-of-all trades. The slowest rugby player is much MUCH faster than the slowest football player. The weakest football player (no doubt kicker) is not as strong as the weakest rugby player. In a rugby game you get hit 15 times and sometimes (in large part due to law of averages) get hurt. 15 hits on one football game would send 3 or 4 men to their graves. Sissy's are the men who play neither!!

Steroid use??? I was just wondering if you had any proof that some of these big boys are taking steroids???

Ama because of his fearlessness and determination Roho because every storie need a bad guy Takami because loosing is the worst thing that can happen ...ever Baruto because he is stronger than even he knows Amanishiki because of his creativity Asa because he is all these things and much much more

I feel so naughty . . . . I dont remember ever making so many people say genitals, ass, frontal route, urethra, fecal, vagina, anus, sliding movement, fat ass and circumvent!! You know I call you I call you on the telephone Im only hoping that your home So I can hear you When you say those words to me And whisper so softly I gotta hear you Cause baby well be At the drive-in In the old mans ford Behind the bushes Till Im screamin for more Down the basement Lock the cellar door And baby Talk dirty to me

[/b] Ok but to get waaay back to the beginning I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the wipin the ass thing is true?? I would say that is the most common of the stories I hear ...
