Two random thoughts:

The word llama actually LOOKS like a llama. I like that.

I always see the phrase 'Sumo wrestlers'. Why don't we just say 'Sumo'? Are there Sumo gardeners and Sumo pediatricians who would be offended?

We need more Sumo pediatricians.

It's the Sumo Ninja that you need to watch out for....

It might be confusing for the other wrestlers? I mean, the Greco-Roman wrestlers wouldn't know if we were talking about them when we said, "Greco-Roman" or architecture or culture...

Drive away from Ithaca on 96B toward Owego, there is a Llama hanging out, having a grand ol' time of it being the only Llama in upstate NY for us to gawk at. Tho that's prob not true. But he's MY favorite Llama. :)

You're so right. What other words look like their real-life representations?

Most likely 'cause 'Sumo' used to be a new concept for Americans and so 'Wrestler' was used to define the term for the uninitiated. Y'know. Reasonable stuff like that.

I discovered when I went to see Mitch Benn there, that in The Bedford they serve Sumo Chips. I was incredibly dissapointed that they didn't come wearing diapers.
