Trying to casually understand sumo is a little like trying to casually understand cricket. But I more or less get the basics just from watching tournaments with her.
But the one part of sumo that will always baffle me, even AFTER it was explained, is the giant macaron…
I legit thought these were photoshoped until I sat down and saw a match myself.
If they win a Sumo tournament they get a giant macaron.
Absolute worst case scenario: You find a body that should be there but when you come back it’s gone
“Guys? Where’d she go?”
She’s behind you
Me [beating at the bog body with a shovel]: WE. DIDN’T. TAKE. SITU. PHOTOS. YET. Get back in that hole! You can go for a walk after.
The fact that I can picture myself and pretty much all of my archaeologist colleagues grabbing a shovel and doing this last bit just makes it that much funnier.
god this has to be one of the dumbest things i spent 5 minutes on but it sprouted fully formed in my brain the second i saw this post
(sorry for quality i’m drawing on a mouse)
That episode of Time Team you didn’t see.
You know you fucked up when archaeologists drop their coffee.
Always take photos before you take a break, just in case the dead come back to life and destroy your trench!
