During The Day I Often Watch Funny Videos,

like this one,

a household plunger is stuck on to a unsuspecting victims head, what I did not know, until today, is that in Tsuruta, a town in Japan’s Aomori Prefecture, suction cups are used in a sport, 

the town recently held its annual “Suction Cup Tug-of-War” tournament for the first time in three years, and it was just as fun as people remembered, the tournament was stopped because of covid, but now it is back, operating under the motto ‘The light of baldness is the light of peace, illuminating the dark world brightly,’ the Tsuruta Hagemasu Association has been trying to shed a positive light on a condition that men have been dealing with for thousands of years, 

the principal requirement is, you guessed it a bald head! Suction cup tug-of-war can be played by men with hair, and even women who attach the suction cups to their foreheads, but it’s clear to see why baldies dominate the sport, the smoother and flatter the surface, the better the suction,

ever since the association was founded in 1989, suction cup tug-of-war tournaments have been held annually in Tsuruta. At one point, the game became so popular that the annual event was renamed the National Sucker Tug of War Tournament and saw participants from all over Japan, a certain Mr. Ota won the National Sucker Tug of War Tournament for the third consecutive time this year, making him one of the most successful participants in the history of the sport, apparently, there are tricks that participants can sometimes use, like polishing their heads, well they say as you get older you should take up a sport, I think this is the one for me!
