I have to go with a quote from Warren Ellis’ Transmetropolitan:

“Sumo is the most perfect of sports. It has elegance, ceremony, danger, art, speed, and, most important, two fat bastards smacking the **** out of each other. It is immaculate, which is why it has remained essentially unchanged for thousands of years. It remains the only thing in the world that I want to stay static. The only thing I love that loves me back.” (Transmetropolitan Oct 1999, No. 26 Pg 17 — censorship, mine)

Your sumo expert is out to lunch on some of the stuff he says. Kotooshu isn’t even close to 7′. :roll: Try like 6′6″.

avatar Bob says:

Troy. Good point there. That’s what happens when you leave an American like me to try and convert from the metric system. Cheers!

avatar Keith says:
