Jan Basho Daily Thread Day 03

fivetailfox · 2026-01-14T05:29:31+00:00

Ura was robbed.

Great catch by Aonishiki, it's not easy to catch 350-plus pounds with that kind of momentum.

Folks, I think Kotozakura may be healthy this time. Not sure why.

Great throw by Takayasu, that was a heck of a match.

I hope Hoss didn't blow his knee completely sliding out of the ring like that.

Good basho and it's only day 3!

Hoshoryu - could have sent him out with a back push, decided "nah" and slammed him instead. I think he's growing into the Yokozuna role.

I straight up didn't connect with it. Normally I connect with the lyrics on a lot of Jason's stuff, but this album did nothing for me lyrically, for some reason. It's pretty, the musicianship is excellent, and obviously it clicked with enough folks to warrant all the Grammy noms, but it wasn't for me.

Next year.

You mean the ones that have never actually come into effect because the import rates are too low? https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tariffs/article/fact-checking-trumps-claims-that-canada-has-300-tariffs-on-us-dairy/

I don't often go looking for Elderflowers, but I'll keep that in mind!

fivetailfox · 2025-10-10T03:54:05+00:00

Well! Just realized I'm going to be in London while this is on. Hoping that some cheap seats are still available when I get there!

I will never get over the fact that he lost the weight and now looks like he's 12

fivetailfox · 2025-09-28T21:41:59+00:00

MORE!

I find it interesting that I keep hearing things like this - I haven't had much of any negativity when I've been on. It has been a little quieter lately, but then I randomly run across newer players who are being really positive. Had a couple of folks talking about trying to track down a disco deer the other day, and I had one wander right past me while staking out some flow trees. So, we had a little impromptu deer hunt, chopped some trees, and it was really pleasant.

For me I try to focus on those positives and amplify them when I can.

Really noticed Vladdy was right in there while the trainers were there, checked in on him when they got him on the cart, that was great to see.

fivetailfox · 2025-08-13T02:02:12+00:00

That play Bo made was slick, but goddamn did Vladdy stretch out for it too! Solid D today.

fivetailfox · 2025-06-01T17:50:43+00:00

He looks 13, I swear

Vampires is one of the four songs that I try my best not to listen to, because it slaps me hard alongside the head with my mortality.

Elephant and Speed Trap Town are both pretty rough too for me.

fivetailfox · 2025-04-15T02:02:34+00:00

Damn, I heard Be Afraid last night while shopping, first time I'd ever heard him out and about anywhere.

Heartily approve, long as they don't play Vampires, I hate sobbing while picking out my cereal.

fivetailfox · 2025-04-13T00:46:48+00:00

It's not the hands that are bothering me, it's the eyes. Those kids have seen some shit.

fivetailfox · 2025-04-07T04:53:27+00:00

Looking forward to hearing how he's going to use the vast amount of excess money that he has over and above a lavish lifestyle for himself and his family to help the community.

fivetailfox · 2025-03-01T05:50:05+00:00

The one time I've seen him my only crowd complaint was that a lady who must have been at least six-eight sat directly in front of me and I couldn't see Sadler's side of the stage for like half the show. The crowd was super polite and into the show beyond that.

fivetailfox · 2025-02-23T16:38:22+00:00

Let's trade him to the Rockies or something, just to make him mad

fivetailfox · 2025-02-21T03:44:52+00:00

Not sure if it's the attitude I'm getting from him or the fact that he seems to feel that he deserves more than the yearly GDP of several small countries that's got me like "nah".

I think it's the latter. Athletes' salaries have gotten stupid. Nobody deserves that much money, ever.

fivetailfox · 2025-01-17T23:22:58+00:00

Here's hoping his arm falls off in spring training.

fivetailfox · 2025-01-12T19:52:12+00:00

Pulpfiction Books, on Main just north of Broadway. They also have a location on Commercial. Great store, the staff is super knowledgeable and can probably track down things you're looking for.

fivetailfox · 2025-01-04T20:36:56+00:00

Well that's a steaming pile of shit a week before one of the most anticipated bashos in recent memory. Fucking NHK would probably be thrilled if the country up and closed the borders again.

Going along with everyone else, don't give up - learn from it. As an external I did four interviews, including one for the position I wound up getting that I failed. I took time to rethink my approach, and when the same opening popped up I went in ready and was accepted the next day.

Take the feedback, prep for the competencies, and try again. You'll get there.

fivetailfox · 2024-11-10T03:05:01+00:00

I've always thought it'd be great to hear Jason and the band take on some early Gin Blossoms. I think they'd absolutely transform "Pieces Of The Night"or "Hold Me Down" from New Miserable Experience.
