Aww, we saw these lil guys when scuba diving in Okinawa. They are quite cute.

Though somehow I’d want a chopstick rest where they were spring loaded to pop up like they do in real life. 😂

She’s a great pet, though this time of year tegus are pretty sleepy.

Just not cheap to keep warm, humid and well fed. 😂

We got a lease deal for the Ioniq 5 as well this year. Welcome to the club!

I don’t mind it at all, though it has the turning radius of a boat compared to my old car. 😂

Hope your stomach can get through chicken salad more smoothly than Takamisakari’s explanations 😅

Only thing I can hope for in this world right now. 😁

Gotta stay away from those kaiten-zushi shrimp. 😝

お大事に!

Sometimes I wish they’d replace the tsukebito system with actual JSA hired contract assistants. Then at least they’d have some small measure of labor law protection.

I’m kinda sad we never went to a basho where they had the cookie stand. I have small hands though, so I wouldn’t profit 🙂‍↕️

I think it’d take a whole sociology lecture or research essay to try and look at this intersection of Japanese collectivist culture, media and toxic masculinity in sports.

There’s no one way to solve these problems - it’ll keep cropping up when the system enforces a powerless underclass.

Yeah, Takakeisho and Kakuryu are the best of the newbies. Especially since they have permission to smile and tell stories now.

I’m curious if we ever get Chiyomaru on broadcast.

My brain might be biased since we watched this yesterday. Though Kotozakura is more like Cell lurking in the background 😂

His love of sweets is more memorable than any of his oyakata-ing.

Setsubun costumes always makes me think these guys are on Dragonball Z 😂

It would be better if one head was the derpy one.

Well and if it wasn’t paid for by Dr Takasu 😝
