Thanks a lot guys!

Actually, I prefer to use none of the products u mentioned (except for windows). There are lots of good video formats not affiliated with microsoft out there. And if you don't like windows media player there are lots of good players as well. Realplayer and the quicktime player are just horrible imho. I've never came across anyone wise in computers who has preffered realplayer of quicktime. ... until now perhaps :-)

Doh... why are sumo movies always real media or quicktime? (Holiday feeling...) Don't get me wrong tho, I'm super happy and thankful for all sumo movies I can get a hold of! So, thanks a lot for the url taka!! (Sign of approval)

Interesting information about the "fan fan" ;-)

That formula is still true, if you just change "bright shiny blue" to "bright shiny blue, or orange". Sideburns + red mawashi = Takanotsuru.

I've got a gmail-account for a while now, and I'm very happy with it. I don't mail very much tho, but it sure beats hotmail wich I used before :-D

(Sigh...) Kintamayama and Bennyloh should collaborate on some comics!

Takanotsuru & Toki for yusho! The king is back! (Sigh...)

Remy Bonjasky is far better than anyone Ake has faced so far. I'd be impressed if ake manages to land a single punch on bonjasky :-(

Since when is drinking considered "bad behaviour"? :-P Oh well, I've done a few of those things, and sometimes when I get drunk things around me can have a tendency to break. (Laughing...)

I had to vote for the U.S. since they wouldnt be qualified to compete and I am a silly man! (Clapping wildly...) But I'd have to consider Japan favourites, with mongolia as the stronges contender. Maybe in a year or two mongolia would be favourites, but not now.

Summer vacations maybe?

Why do you all keep going on like this?

I wonder if he actually thinks he can win or if he just goes in, takes a few punches, then laughs all the way to the bank.

Not much of a gaming basho for me, this one. I played only 5 games, 2 pre and 3 daily, and in the daily ones I didnt have time or opportunity to enter each day. Bench Sumo I got 8-7, with a lot of luck and 2 droning days. Most my wins were on low scoring days, and only 2 14p days (one of them resulting in a loss). Chaingang Out on day one by picking Dejima. ISP Havent played this game in a while since I'm always horrible at it. This time I decided to give it a try tho, since its a pretty low effort game. Result was 3-12 (Blushing...) Rotosumo I managed a 8-7 in this one and a little closer to juryo! Hoshitori 6-9 I think... Not very good :-P

Oh, this one is gonna cause some trouble with the english speaking commentators.

Great bout by Azuma. It looked like he had Asashoryu totally figured out and Shoryu had no idea what to do at any point of the bout. Look for Asashoryu to seek out Tochiazuma for keiko before next basho (Blinking...)

So, that's what happens when I take a basho off (In love...)

I think this debate is proof that it in fact was a correct call. Many different views and opinions, so a torinaoshi was probably the best way to go. Also I would like to comment on QttP... I can certainly see why one would get annoyed by this, but I think the answer might be simple. I dont think the ones that celebrate shoryu's skill are the same ones that put taikais "ballet" down. I, for one, dont mind taikais "ballet", but I dont find it very special. At least not special enough to praise it on the sumo forum. Shoryu's maneuver, however, was just that special!

I noticed another thing... I think the result of the first bout would have been the same wether kotonowaka would have touched his hand down or not. It looked like his knee was gonna touch down before Shoryu anyway.

Wow, Shoryu never seems to cease to amaze. Good bout by Kotonowaka too, but what a spectacular finish. Reminded me of the bout in Nagoya 2003, as QttP pointed out. That one went to Kotonowaka and this one torinaoshi, but shoryu won both (Whatever above, it is funny...)

I didnt see the bout, but in the pictures shuzan is still in, so there's still time for a lift.

I voted Musoyama cause he seems like the weakest ozeki at the moment.

That's why I thought it was nonsense... Or hoped it was at least...

It's nonsense I tell you! :-)
