Did you see the "ushiromotare" in the Kitazakura-Yoshikaze match two 
bashos ago?  Go to 
http://www.technogirls.org/sumo/S07B3.htm#Year_2007_Basho_3 then go 
halfway down the page.  This one needed a new kimarite - even if 
ushiromotare is rare, it isn't rare enough for this one!  How would you 
say "Butt on Butt pushout" in Japanese?  :-)  Ushiro-ushirodashi?

That gives me an idea.  Maybe next time I'll do a web page for the basho 
highlighting the "funniest match of the day".
