[sumo] Hanamichi Report

[Jeffrey Anderson]

Ross Mihara: Here's Riyo Ohta with a hanamichi report. This one's with Gaijingai.

Riyo: Gaijingai, omedeto on a great basho!

Gaijingai: Thank you very much.

Riyo: You got your record ninth jun-yusho in Bench Sumo!

Gaijingai: I did my best.

Riyo: You also placed fourth in Sekitori Toto with a fine 11-3-1 record and kept your Ozeki status in both Hoshitori Contests!

Gaijingai: To be truthful, Riyo, I didn't think I'd do so well.

Riyo: So desuka? Doshite desuka?

Gaijingai: Well, I've been so distracted by the economic meltdown going on in America and all the corporate mergers.

Riyo: Tell us about them.

Gaijingai: For instance, did you know that Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W. R. Grace are merging?

Riyo: Really?

Gaijingai: Yes. They are becoming Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace.

Riyo: Anooooo....

Gaijingai: And Polygram Records, Warner Brothers, and Zesta Crackers are merging to become Poly Warner Cracker.

Riyo: Eitooooo....

Gaijingai: And even Grey Poupon Mustard and Docker Pants are merging. They are becoming Poupon Pants.

Riyo: Back to you, Ross!!!!

Best regards,
