    Happy WW! I like sumo wrestlers. I have a similiar pot belly ... but, I'm not as shameless about showing it around :)

    I invite your blog readers to see a very unusual food fight...

    I like the images that look like they have water flying in them.

    Must be very interesting to see in person. I don't think I've seen Sumos wearing fringe befre.

    Wow. So much power and motion. I can almost feel the ground tremble... it's always amazed me how agile these guys really are. You captured that well in these pics.
