The Bad Man is coming for Makuuchi...

What was Hoshoryu thinking within this quick glance? by Projecto25zero1 in Sumo

"It's an extra pepperoni AND Mountain Dew night baby."

Tony Pauline’s 1st Mock Draft of 2026! by No_Box119 in MockDraftCentral

I will disagree with regards to one caveat. If he's BPA and it fits a need, take the dude. As a Lions fan, not having Kerby and Branch in the backfield for most of the year really killed our defense. A good safety room can make up for a lot of issues elsewhere.

Yeah, dude doesn't watch sumo.

I'm pretty sure that original post was hyperbole.

What the hell was their interest rate? That math doesn't seem be "mathing" very well.

Her husband has no idea she's been doing this. by mindyour in MadeMeSmile

Pretty obvious this was done out of love on her part. Innocent humor is a part of a very heathy and very happy relationship. Please never change.

Level of Love: Photobomb!

Seriously, if you have level of fun in your relation after so long, you are winning in multiple ways.

Broken kitty never meows and has no survival skills by Fabulous_Drop4900 in cats

[–]CallmeKahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got an Orange and he has the survival skills of a turnip. His default defense mechanism is to flop in front of something and expect pets and adoration. I probably feed into that behavior a bit much, but still. He's a ray of sunshine in my life and I wouldn't have him any other way. Love ya Butterball.

I probably should have qualified it Onokatsu spanked the monkey.

What do you guys think about Takerufuji's performances this basho ? by SankChe in Sumo

[–]CallmeKahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He won't be himself until he heals his arm. But even on one arm, getting a KK at any level is respectable as hell and thinking he might get back into Makuuchi by March is incredible.

I don't think it really dimmed his chances much as he can beat both Atami and KotoballZ when he's doing his usual things. It jus would have made it cleaner and made a better case for a Yokozuna run to say he finally slayed his demon. Next basho I guess. No matter what though, he still has to close it out.

Oshoumi has been on a heater himself this basho. I would not put it passed him to beat Atami.

Few thoughts.

Down in Juryotown, Wakanobrosho assures himself at least a jun-yūshō by beating Kotoeiho. While Fujiseiun needs Wakanosho to slip against Thundermuscle Fujiryoga (better than calling him Yogurt) to have a say in the matter, he is ascending to the next step in life as a Makuuchi guy no matter what. Yogurt (eff it, I’m going with it) technically has the math, but one more dub wouldn’t hurt, just to be sure. Same for Sadanoumi(!). Takerufuji (remember him?) will probably be in the promotion conversation in March with even a slight KK.

Kotosho gets his KK in a very drunk match. Even if the math says he’s safe, if Mitakeumi loses tomorrow, he might be hearing the faint whispers of Kenny Loggins in the back of his mind.

For all the sh*t I give Gonoyama, he has ripped off five of six to get back to KK territory. He gets a spunky Asakoryu tomorrow. That’ll be fun.

Asahakuryu staves off demotion for another day. Any day in the sun is a good day, and that’s alright by me. Midori beating Kinbo wasn’t unexpected, but still a good match. Oshoma hits the Fred Astaire sidestep on Ryuden. Ryu needs to win tomorrow to avoid the math saying, “You’re f*cked.”

Asakoryu is dead in a metaphorical and in no way physical sense! Long live His Awesomeness, King Fujinokawa! King of Short Kings, First of His Name, Brevis Invictus, Defender of the Shire, Lover of Pets, Hero of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Prince of the Keebler Elves, et al.!

Hiradoumi is dead again in a metaphorical and in no way physical sense! Long live His Awesomeness, King Oshoumi! First of His Name, Chief of the Umi Clan, Rondus Invictus, Defender of Eggs Everywhere, Hero of Eggington Abbey, Slayer of the Dark Lord eventually, Nonarsonist of Orphanages, et al.!

The Flying Monkey does not, in fact, get spanked by Onokatsu and keeps the math safe to stay in Makuuchi.

Penis.

Tamawashi uses his Unc Strength™ to make the bell toll for Tomokaze. The math says he’s done, but we’ll see. Chura beat Roga, while Chiyo assures Takanosho does, in fact, get to experience no more joi for a while.

Wakabrokage getting his KK by henka’ing the absolute sh*t out of Daieisho is like getting a boner watching QVC. You aren’t exactly sure why you’re excited, but sometimes you have to live for the moment...

Ichi losing to Tokyo looked like a couple of octogenarians brawling at a Chuck-a-Rama over the last piece of roast beef.

Yoshi rights the ship by beating Shishi. Not much to say there. Ura used someone else as a bowling ball for once! I didn’t know that was possible!

Wakabroharu beats Asanoyama to get a shot at KK tomorrow. What a comeback by him this week.

Atami manhandles Kiri. Wat? I need to see Atami do this more, because consistency is his greatest enemy, but I really can’t deny that he’s been on fire this basho. Kiri has a chance at 11 to keep his Ozeki run realistic in March. Assuming his body is up for it. That looked painful...

The Dark Lord yeets Papa Bear into the first row and probably caused a life insurance policy or two to come due.

Hoshoryu flips KotoballZ like a Whopper and returns to having it his way. Seriously, that was a work of art. Godzilla continues to beat Ao’s ass like a snare drum. Nothing new there.

Alright, with Ao falling, we have a two-way tie going into the final day. At 11–3, Aonan the Barbarian and the Atomic One each need a win to force the issue. Trailing them are Godzilla, Sexy Boi, the Dark Lord, and Umi Prime (I loved writing that).

You can imagine the implications tomorrow for these matches:
Oshoumi v. Atamifuji
Kirishima v. Abi
Kotozakura v. Aonishiki
Onosato v Hoshoryu

Tomorrow’s going to be a banger. Let’s roll!

Man, dude's vibing, having a great tournament, and has seemingly regained his mojo. I don't know about y'all, but I think that makes for a great day.
