Hi all.

Recent posts have become a little stale and samey, I propose a change, after all it is friday 'n all,

Dwarf Throwing and Human Rights..

Professor Robert W. McGee of the Dumont Institute for Public Policy Research, Dumont, New Jersey, has an article on the Internet in which he claims that banning the ancient sport of Dwarf Tossing is a violation of human rights. Since the word "tossing" has unfortunate sexual connotations in British English, we prefer to refer to this sport as Dwarf Throwing. Under whatever name, we deplore it as demeaning and possibly harmful to vertically-challenged persons. If you would like the opposing view, try www.dumontinst.com and look under "publications". Be warned, though, that most of the time the relevant page refuses to open.

Has somebody thrown a dwarf at the server?

Scruff, what HAVE you been eating?

Never thrown one... probably never will... seems a bit obscure to me. Anyway, if they want to be thrown and people want to throw them - what's the harm.

Bloody beaurocratic red tape mumbo-jumbo PC arse.

What about those nutters that chase the cheese down the hills and stuff?

Anyone local to Maldon, Essex will know about the "Maldon Mud Race" held at low tide on Boxing Day... leg it across the mud flats and back... 'kin funny to watch!

If its a violaton of human rights what about the clone in gold member , i mean the joke is he is a miniature clone who is violent, but the little fella is making a nice little earner out of his size.

if we go too PC on this (as normal) then that would denie him or any other dwarf the right of cashing in on what they have going for them .

I think you should be allowed to throw dwarves, they aren't much use for anything else, except to use as footstools or table legs.

Podie, the little lady lives at Chelmsford and I am there most weekends, fancy meeting up for a beer ?

Bloody good idea! I'm in Guildford for the next two weekends though.. but in Chelmsford mid-week. After that, should be around most weekends. mmm..

We could hunt for dwarves, capture one and then take them somewhere to be thrown........

Big M lives over that way (I know her hairdresser, sort of), she might fancy a dwarf as a garden ornament, or she might even fancy throwing one herself

'Gimli', the dwarf in 'Lord of the Rings' on the escape from 'Moria' when they have to jump collapsing bridges and a large gap opens in front of them shouts to Aragorn (Strider) as he has thrown 2 hobbits across the gap, "NO ONE TOSSES A DWARF"

Thats because they've got such small d*cks......

I'm sure I read somewhere that a load of freakshow Carny types were trying to sue some PC do-gooder group who thought they were saving them from exploitation, but were actually doing them out of a very profitable livelyhood!!

Or maybe I dreamed it

[plotloss]

I think I read somewhere, though it may be an urban myth, that in certain counties in Florida during the Dwarf Tossing season that it is perfectly legal to pick one up and ling him in any direction you feel fit.

I did venture down there a few times, but alas saw no people of diminutive stature.

I wonder if ErnestM can confirm or dispell this?

No, this is what I heard last night over a beercurry session. Some wee irish geezer is going to the court of human rights because he demands his right to be dressed in a foam suit and thrown into bars after a council had banned the sport..

Did a half arsed search on google and was surprised at the 'results'...

I thought we had to call them Porgs now...

Person Of Restricted Growth.

Besides it was the rage for a while in I believe Australia to go Dwarf Bowling, whereby you launch a dwarf with a crash helmet on, down a bowling ally to knock the pins over.

Is the crash helmet mandatory ?

[david010167]

Not sure, but if you used a pointly helmet, you could play darts.

And there's elfbowl, that sweet little pc game from a couple of Xmasses ago, where you bowl at Santa's elves, who fart, swear at you and wave placards saying fewer toys, higher wages etc

I think the one thing that is becoming very clear, is how versatile Dwarves/PORGS actually are, allied to their desire for participating in dangerous sports.

I think i might ask for one for christmas, but everybody please remember, if you want one as well, that Dwarves aren't just for christmas, they are for life.

Then again, I suppose you could just toss/throw it away........

[angusfaldo]

Sod Dwarf throwing. Playing football with a hedgehog is much more fun.
