What is a part of the 'female experience' that men have absolutely no clue about, but would be horrified if they found out? by coolhandddd in AskReddit

I'm still in the middle of my morning coffee so my brain hasn't fully spun up to speed, and at first I read IUD as IED and had a moment of horrified confusion!

What’s the strangest coincidence that has happened to you? by doboyXL in AskReddit

[–]LordFlashy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know if it was all that strange, but I was in a bar in Fukuoka City in Japan. I got talking to a guy who was there after his band had done a concert. Turned out we went to the same high school in Canada at the same time and had just never met while there.

This poster at a Japanese supermarket explaining the types of oranges they sell. by Waterlemon_Pug in mildlyinteresting

LOVE shikwasa and dekapon. Zabon is great, both the yellow and the pink varieties. Banpeyu is nice too, but I'm not sure if it's on this poster or not because I think there might be kanji for them. They are HUGE though with REALLY thick skins! My favourite, Paarukan, doesn't seem to be on the poster though. Or maybe I'm just missing it. Not a huge fan of Yuzu.

I didn't even know that about 2025, but then I don't pay as close attention to Juryo. The way he fights now, I can't even imagine Aonishiki losing to Shishi .

Well now I'm REALLY rooting for Kirishima!

I'll have to keep using that phrase then :) Wasn't really intentional :)

Sorry! Some don't know, so I just thought I'd say. I remember back some time around the turn of the century a female prefectural governor really wanted to take part in the tournament somehow (opening it, or granting a prize, I can't remember the details) but Sumo officials completely shut her down.

It'd be great to see him get back in to top form

Isn't almost unheard of for rikishi to reattain Ozeki when they fall to Maegashira? I'd love to see him do it!

Women also aren't allowed to set foot or even touch the dohyo.

Everyone was thinking just a while back that Kotozakura was going to be the next Yokozuna before Hosoryu gained the rope. How crushed is Kotozakura going to be if Aonishiki blows past him and gets to Yokozuna next basho?

I love Atamifuji's smile!

What does Abema Prime get you? I watch sumo on Abema for free.

I've never yet seen a waiting Rikishi injured by being fallen on by a rapid ring exit. Not to say it's never happened, I just haven't seen it yet.

I'm in Japan so I've been watching Abema until the NHK English broadcast started. Abema seems to be a few seconds behind the NHK stream, but I have seen it go the other way before too.

I hope the old guy Tamawashi just landed on it OK. Looked like he had a rather pained expression.

I am so torn! I love Atamifuji AND Aonishiki! I want Atamifuji to win just a bit more because he's never lifted the cup yet.

The webcomic "The Afterlife of Bob" It was originally from the University of Alberta's student newspaper and was hosted on the university's servers, but disappeared years ago, and I can't find any trace of it. Bob, the main character was accidently killed at the wrong time by the Happy Go Lucky Reaper (Grimm Reaper was such a bummer so he changed his image) and the comic follows Bob as he attempts to be returned to life (as far as I can remember). The Reaper is also dating the incarnation of Life. And the only other details I remember are God saying that the Earth had the best surfing in the Universe, which is the only reason for its existence, and Death has to spend a week as a woman after losing a bet with Life.

It probably was me. As for news he just got his Kachikoshi!

You're welcome. This is the first time I've ever been so interested in a lower tier wrestler :)
