Tsimo

From Discworld & Terry Pratchett Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A sort of contest of strength - well, of mass, anyway - where two incredibly large and well-nourished Agateans charge at each other, the object being for one to eject the other from a circle previously drawn with much ceremony. Tsimo wrestlers are bred for size rather than brains, and the process has now been going on for so long that Rincewind witnessed thirty-stone (420 pounds) gentlemen who were each in possession of two specialised neurons. Rincewind was able to turn this to his advantage during one of his better escapes in Interesting Times.
