[sumo] OT: Watching NHK hoping something Sumo pops up

Following a really nasty fall,  I have been immobile,  and find myself 
desperately seeking sumo on NHK.  Just got through watching "Two 
Opposite Youths Meet".  The intro would lead one to believe that  it is 
a confrontational reality show pitting rival gang members, however it 
turned out to be a story of a teenage girl being challenged to leave 
her sophisticated setting somewhere in Japan to travel to Hokaido to 
work on a dairy farm.  Her "opposite" was a young man who worked daily 
from 5am at the "Hollywood Heifers" dairy farm.   It was the cleanest 
dairy farm I have ever seen.  She dug in right beside him, and in the 
end as I think he was telling her how much he loved the cows we were 
both weeping.  I recognized the word "yokozuna" and "dohyo"  in the 
Japanese dialogue but it was uttered (no pun) by the cat.

12 hours and counting to sumo.
