OK, so no one's done it so far...
"Best Eyebrowist"
Just when you thought theere couldn't be another '-ist' award.
I wonder if there will be another award like "Best Bikini Waxist ('Brazilian' Category)" - that I'd like to see.
"Best toenailist"
"Stop me now before I '-ist' again!"

I love that excuse! It's gone out of favor recently, but I'm sure some will bring it back into style to explain away their violent behaviors.

If they're happy, what's the problem? I saw a show on them some years ago - they didn't seem out of the ordinary at all.

Narrowing the question would have been better. Are we talking about the dinosaurs like Mitsukoshi, which do have very yummy (but often pricey) food basements, or the Walmart/Target-ish Jusco, Ito Yokado or Daiei type stores (with lower prices). As for the former, I never enter them except for food - they seem to have as their target market people from another age and price bracket. The latter are more accessible in terms of price, but they can be a bit tatty. Service is never a major issue, but the yelling salespeople can be a headache, but I only tend to find them in electronic stores (bang - or is it 'bung'? - that taiko drum while yelling through a megaphone about some supposed bargain. Oh, and clap your hands while you're at it.) In short, service is usually good, but the dinosaurs are marking time and living in the past.

Mao Asada ALWAYS has a goofy look on her face. I amuse the wife by imitating it for her on a regular basis. In each picture of Asada, I always imagine there is a voice balloon coming out of her mouth stating "Duh..."
Yes, yes, I know this type of comment doesn't 'reflect well on myself', but c'mon...you have to agree with me here!!!

Interesting question. A lot of the events at the Winter Olympics (at Summer as well) have to involve 'artistic flourish' which may well be enhanced by a physical skill, but is it the same as competing in a race, lifting weights etc.
It's got me thinking!
But I like the curling, archaic as it is. How many of us throw hammers, toss shotputs and hurl javelins and discuses? These are about prowess, but also about accuracy as well.
No...can't be bothered saying that we should eliminate any of them, but the 'ski then shoot the ski' Biathalon is an 'interesting' combination.
