NO WASHY MY MAWASHI

A couple weeks back, I posted photos of my encounter with a couple of sumo wrestlers.

My Friday Extra cover story "Diaper Genies" - which hits print on Friday - is already online.

You can also see the video we shot for the package.

I'm not proud of my behavior, especially in regard to the stuffing of the bear claw. But I do what I'm told and I'm told to make the funny. So I try. So there.

I am proud, however, to be the first in Tribune history, I believe, to get the words, "man-boob" and "sumo hiney" in the paper. That I did it simultaneously can only be described as a near-miracle.

Thank you, thank you very much. My mother is very proud.



An update: The Sumo League canceled its Tampa show. There's no truth to the rumor that it was because of my bear claw mauling.

That bear claw thang was just wrong, wrong, wrong. This is about two steps away from infantilism, I'm pretty sure.

You say infantilism like it's a bad thing.

Oh my - if he can do that with the claw, imagine what he can do with the rest of the body.
