oyaji

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not even an internet (pretend) lawyer, so I can't really say anything about the legalities of this. All I know is that SFM came on way, way too strong. They have guaranteed that I will never again visit their website. I will, however, continue to patronize LMdS. >shrug< That's all I can do.

Ah, great! Thank you.

Maybe this isn't the right place, but... is there even a ML anymore? I thought statgen went down. I'd love to subscribe again if there is one out there.

I can't beleive that I've been lurking since last Sept. and I never introduced myself! Gomen, ne? Dozo yoroshiku. I'm oyaji, a nick bestowed on me for being the oldest member of a manga scanlation group. 9_9 I'm a 40-year-old English teacher in America. I've studied traditional karate for over 14 years, and it was my Sensei from Miyazaki that introduced me to Ozumo. I used to love the Hanada brothers, and now my current favourite is Chiyotaikai, although he tends to dissappoint me--wish he had more dimensions of attack sometimes. I don't get TV Japan, or even cable or satellite at all, so I follow sumo through the mailing list and the official site results. Now that I've got Broadband, I can finally watch the stream of the upper divisions! I guess that's enough already.

Ran across this on FARK. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200603/s1606112.htm Shocked burglar runs into 17 sumos A Japanese burglar who thought he was lucky to find an unlocked door was shocked to be arrested by 20 massive sumo wrestlers who were staying at the building. Konoshin Kawabata, 48, was rummaging inside a room in Osaka in the early hours when he was suddenly confronted by wrestler Dewanosato, who stands 180 centimetres and weighs 131 kilograms. "Without thinking, my body moved," Dewanosato, whose real name is Hideyuki Kawahara, said. "I caught the guy and bear-hugged him." It was a citizen's arrest, said a police spokesman. "Mr Dewanosato immediately shouted out 'Hey!' and 'Burglar!' as he arrested the man. Then the other wrestlers woke up and came out to check things out," the spokesman said. The burglar, who was unemployed, admitted he was baffled to find himself among sumo wrestlers. "First I was caught by a massive man. When the lights turned on, I was surrounded by more than a dozen sumo wrestlers. I was surprised," Kawabata told police, as quoted by Jiji Press. The sumo stable were staying and training at the building, which lies on the premises of the Shounji temple in the western metropolis. -AFP LOL!
