[Non-Sumo] Plastic Dohyo

[Jon Sandridge <jsand@niko.unl.edu>]

Perhaps I shouldn't, but I'm going to encourage this.  I think we've got
a cascade on our hands, folks.  My contribution, as tradition demands,
is at the bottom.

   Here we go:  Spastic Toto

The story: Toto, having become jaded toward twisters, decided to see if
taifun were any more exiting.  After wandering around Tookyoo all day,
our hero encounters a worried looking Kotoinazuma gazing into a display
window at a wig shop.  The lightning man, noticing the pup's remarkable
similarity to some of the finer hair pieces, drops and gives with the
tachiai.  Toto is thrown a considerable distance and suffers trauma to
the medulla oblongata.  Much twitching ensues, and Kotoinazuma ducks
quickly into the crowd as the ASPCA arrive, wondering if the rumours
about "no bald rikishi" are true.

Who's next?

With apologies,
No, with many apologies and teacakes,
