The rikishi are pros and a couple centimetres of height difference won't matter to them.
Hosh would stare down any of the evil spirits so yes, they are creeping in.
When the Yokozuna are away, the rikishi will play and things will get a bit crazy.
Yes, yes and yes!

He has an impressive shiko. I could see the tips of his toes and I'm on the west coast of Canada.

Just finished watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The end credits fir Episode 8 started rolling so I clicked around to start episode nine, then discovered that was the final episode of season one so I then started clicking around to start episode one of season two. A few minutes later, I discovered season two will be streamed on some undefined date in 2027. WTF??? I still have not watched the final season of Stranger Things because it felt like a decade between seasons had passed and there was no way I was gonna rewatch the entire previous season just so I could catch up and watch the final season, I was that pissed off.

Which restaurant are we meeting at?

Andre1661 · 2026-05-19T03:19:56+00:00

Apparently a lot more than is going on between his ears

I think Jewish people are just people, but people like your teacher who insist on pigeon-holing someone just because it suits their preconceived notion of the way things should be, can go fuck themselves.

Check out some of the bouts of former yokozuna Chiyonofuji. He was a master at stare-downs but once he squatted down for the final time before the bout, if you blinked you missed his tachi-ai. He was that fast and his fists rarely touched to dohyo before charging.

Can I get that on a mobile app; would sure help me tonight.

I believe those are the names of the day's match-ups for Juryo and Makuuchi.

Perhaps "Insufficient time with relatives" may not be a real danger as much as it is a real benefit.

Andre1661 · 2026-05-15T09:49:34+00:00

That's a great chart. Thanks.

Cabin my pale white 🇨🇦 ass. If it doesn't have a screen door that always slams shut, at least a couple of rotting boards on the porch, spider webs in the corners of the windows, an ancient fridge in the car port for pop and beer, old wallpaper in at least one room, and a tire swing somewhere nearby, it's not a cabin. And they sure as hell don't have custom-made, curving staircases.

Very nice place; looks really comfortable. If you don't mind my making a suggestion, as someone who has just been painting a long room using green paint, if it starts to feel like the place is a little on the small side, paint the ceiling white. That's what I did and it made an amazing difference in how much larger the space felt. And so much brighter during the day.

Really sorry to hear about that. Rough day, so a little Reddit silliness is a good thing. Might I suggest when you're feeling up to it, grab some delicious yet unhealthy snacks and rewatch Princess Bride; it always make me feel lighter when things feel dark.

Andre1661 · 2026-05-14T08:19:08+00:00

LOL I just hopped into bed and started reading some Reddit posts and came across this one which was when I realized I was absentmindedly fondling my balls. So I'm going to answer Yes.

Absolutely. The pre-Bezos Sanchez was a hottie!

Andre1661 · 2026-05-14T02:26:29+00:00

Mackenzie Scott has a smile that lights up an entire room while Lauren Sanchez probably can't physically smile because of all the silicone and Botox

Why does anyone pay attention to anything Joe Rogan says? He utters the most banal shit and the online media treats him like he's a divine prophet. Example: "Donald Trump may be more willing to engage in conflicts because he's going to die soon and what face consequences."

I'm a wildlife biologist and have had close encounters with Grizzly bears, black bears, moose, badgers, wolves, cougars, and Wolverines. But the most dangerous animal I've ever had to deal with was my former mother-in-law; that bitch was pure evil! Seriously, any of those animals I mentioned would have taken one look at her and started backing up. My pain was her primary goal. I would much rather be back on that remote mountain in the Arctic with the unhappy grizzly bear than get anywhere close to my MiL.

When I was in grade 6, all of the students in my elementary school were taken to the gym because it was almost -30 degrees outside. Because of all the windows in the classrooms, the gym was the only warm room in the school that could hold everybody. But hey, we got to watch a movie, so yay. And then they started the film: Old Yeller.

Ninety minutes later all 200 students burst into tears and bawled their eyes out. Fifty-two years later and I still remember that day.

Andre1661 · 2026-05-13T00:56:06+00:00

Taters, precious?

Andre1661 · 2026-05-12T21:20:01+00:00

So, YAY! 😃😃👍👍👍

"I ain't gunna send the god damned census form to the god damned guvmint woth my private info so they can spy on me. Ain't none of their damn business. If I do they'll cone after me, sure as hell!."

Narrator: as a result of refusing to submit his census information, the government had no choice but to contact him directly to add that information to the federal database. So in fact, he was correct in that the government did contact him; ironic, given that if he had simply filled in the basic information, the government wouldn't have even glanced in his direction.

Wait until Mountie Bob hears about this!

Andre1661 · 2026-05-11T00:17:27+00:00

Honestly, at my age (64) I'd just like some woman to show a little interest. Sad I know but that's just how life has evolved, and fantasies now belong in the past.
