And Kisenosato still has no yusho, ladies and gentlemen.

Kisenosato does the dohyo-iri in a Hello Kitty kesho-mawashi and wins the yusho. During his interview he says, in English, "F*** this for a lark".

Nothing wild about the first part

Okay, he does the dohyo-iri in a Hello Kitty kesho-mawashi with fairy-lights on it that plays 'Don't worry, be happy' when he walks. He gets a zensho yusho and during his interview he says "F*** this for a lark. I'm going back to baseball". A baby crawls up onto the dohyo during the interview, climbs up his left leg and plants a huge smacking kiss on the end of his nose. He smiles.

You're welcome to post your crapshoots, erm,  predictions during the basho as well. There is no deadline for folly.

Sure, because few bothers to make any serious prediction these days.

our esteemed forum friend called Dapeng
is taking great pains to defend
his fine predilection
for serious prediction
I wonder where all this will end

The basho is ready to start
with injured and fit taking part.
Whispers go round,
wild guesses abound --
predictions are really an art.

Aah... time to look at that spoof video about Goeido again.

Goeido promoted to yok?

Some people think that's a joke.

But others may feel

That he's the real deal.

And his hopes won't end up in smoke.

As the wheel of fortune doth spin

Wild guesses pour in and in

We all know in our heart

What we knew from the start

Random Doofus shall win

Ishiura beats Gagamaru in a 2 minute marathon match. 

 

1/2 of this prediction came true.   A 2 minute marathon?  It was much closer to 2 seconds than 2 minutes.

If I did make a wild guess before the basho, I would have predicted that the "Both hands must touch the dohyo at the tachai" edict would never be enforced. And since this is day two and there has been no attempt whatsoever to do anything about it, I would have been correct. In the past, all efforts at enforcing such a rule have failed and despite warnings from the Judging committee that it would be strictly imposed at the Kyushu basho, there has been no effort to do so. 

Actually, such a guess would have not have been considered as being wild. Instead it would have been expected. If nothing else, I feel I should be given some credit for my hindsight.

Satoyama tries baseball out too, and becomes a submarine pitcher. Kisenosato hits about .040 against him. Satoyama learns how to sing like a lark.
