======================================                                     
Jon,

Now I'm sure I am among fiends.  I mean, friends. 
John E. threw out the shikona challenge, and 
appropriately another shameless PUNSTER rises 
to the occasion.  (So much for your wondering 
aloud whether this subject is "too silly" for the list, 
John E.  Nothing is too silly to be made pun of.)  
I'm thrilled to know sumo aficianados can be 
roused by more than statistics.

I must reject right at the top the suggestions which 
include "kuso" and the like.  Yeeew.  Who wants 
to be tagged with just a one-laugh bathroom moniker?   
   
Sad to confess BAKAYARO is a term with which I am 
more than personally familiar from days of yore, or my, 
as the case may be, but it's best not to dwell FOOLishly 
in the past.

Ha!  Can't resist returning the the scene of your last 
word crime.  Too bad those without a very rude-imentary 
knowledge of Japanese can't appreciate how truly bad 
(if a pun lover, read "most excellent") your suggestions 
are.  

>Again, deepest apologies.

Really, it's better to flush these thoughts right out
... thus clearing the way for the next brain/drainstorm.
I shall continue to take your suggestions and those 
of others under advisement.
                
                                                Yers humbly,
                                                Faux Baka
