...ENORMOUS as one supposed ... Haystack Calhoun, the ever-popular 601-pounder from Four Corners, Arkansas, may be able to break four inch thick planks with his "Big Splash" submission hold, but he is no match for Johnny Alee, the 1132 pound man who fell through the floor of his North Carolina log cabin one hundred years ago.

...sense of proportion, or scale. In The Trojans Sarah made the horse as big as she could on her small stage, but was still not satisfied with the effect. Who finally emerged from the horse? Midgets and children costumed as soldiers. Sarah gets around surprisingly well for a 300-pounder. Often she resembles a great mother whale with a school of pilot fish circling her. "Yup, nope, yup, yup," she mumbles to a series of rapid-fire questions. When noisemakers get out of hand, she shouts: "Will you quell the rebellion backstage...
