Totally shocking given that this country was built on the backs of others.

Where is “uppity woman”?

vintage hep cat comic A girl pokes her head out of a record store or diner and to confront a man while another women listens on from the next doorway. Color plate is black, yellow, and orange. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, JOHNNY? IF I HAVE SYPHILIS, THEN YOU PROBABLY HAVE IT, TOO! ME? THE SIFF?! OH, NO!!

ME? THE SIFF?!

As much as I love watching him I hope he has sense enough to bow out before he gets permanent damage. I worry about Enho too.

Yeah, ono can get his zensho some other time but not this week

You forgot burros by mail

I would think that any sumo fan seeing Ura in the ring without knee protection would understand it’s just an exhibition and they’re all holding back.

If she’s got the stank it’s cuz he put it there

This is amazing stuff.

Not only did Takakeisho lose half his weight he appears to have lost half his age

I badly need distraction from all the stupidity. The pictures remind me of beauty in the world.

The halter style outfit doesn’t say 1920s at all, nor does the hair

Love Slim, I got to see him perform in the 80s at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago

Also related - allegations of abuses in Hakuho’s heya bring him down, but (worse?) allegations in Kisenosato’s have gone unpunished.

I love how they seem to be keeping it light for what is often an emotional ceremony. It’s got to be rough especially when they have to bow out well before their time. I hope he has as great a retirement as his rival/pal takakeisho

Lovely strong ladies!

He was such a scrapper! In the style of Yoshikaze. Never a dull match from either. I already miss him.

I don’t eat anything that’s looking back at me

I was hoping it came in Harvest Gold also?

This makes me think of all the right wingers who think abortion is wrong until their kid gets knocked up. Or “their” gay is ok. Nope it’s everyone or no one

They are still useful for a year for some things I guess but I wouldn’t rely on them to hold a sandwich secure for that length of time. The wax starts to wear off after a while

I’m not a fan of beeswax wrappers, they don’t stay closed after a few uses. Take a look at silicone clamshell storage containers, those might be large enough.

I really hate to hear this. This is heartbreaking and at the very very least the sort of thing that will keep young people away from sumo. And the Hakuho Cup is the kind of thing that encourages them to participate.

What happened to the story about nishonoseki? That sounded worse.

Senor Wences!

No such thing as too much terra cotta

Do it, then write about it every day.

John, do you think Mitakeumi will hang around in juryo or just call it quits?

I skimmed the article but couldn’t find and mention that the process smelled like rotting eggs. I hope the pictures still smell like that
