Dwarf tossing is illegal!

[damunzy]

I watched(man I hate grammar mistakes!) 20/20 a few nights ago and it showed how in one state or county, not sure which anymore, some dwarves (or is that dwarfs?) petitioned to their sentators (I think) and got a law passed illegalizing the tossing of dwarves. The funny part comes in b/c one dwarf in this state/county made a living at being tossed at night clubs! Supposedly it is bigger Downunder than in the States though.

Anyone else watch this?

Does this mean I can't toss my mini-me?

I didn't see this show, but it sounds like it was pretty funny. Although this may be a more serious problem for our "vertically-challenged friends and I just haven't experienced it.

Are you guys in the USA aware of what the word 'tossing' implies
in Europe?

It involves a hooker's hand,
And 20 quid. (or Euros)

Ahem!
nuff said.

hmmm...guess they're talking about dwarve-bashing here......is it only physically or can't you even make comments anymore too?

WHAT!!!!!!
Call out the cavalry! Hand me my shotgun and bring hither the barrel of fish! We cannot toss dwarves anymore? What else will we do at nights here now? Watch the traffic lights change, or go see a few haircuts probably...
It is not a big thing Downunder as far as I have heard, and I frequent some fairly strange places

And Curt, you are being ripped off if you get charged 20 quid

He picked an exagerated price so that no one would think he was involved, himself...

Depends on the quality, my man!
You are getting diseases for anything less!

I have never been involved in any tossing of dwarves!
You can't prove a thing!
Hookers are another matter, but hey there's kids reading!

Dwarf tossing...
How do you play this er, sport, then?

This sounds very, umm, Prachettian.

 

[CurtSibling]

Oh, no.

Not Pratchet, I'm leaving now.

He is to fantasy, what J-Lo is to classical music...

 

[damunzy]

Well the whole point of the game is to throw(I thought I would make it clear for our dirty minded Brits) a dwarf the fatherest distance possible. The person that throws the dwarf the farthest wins. Easy huh?

 

[CurtSibling]

And what do the dwarves have to say about this?

You are going to end up with a horde of little guys with axes
attacking soon!

 

[Flatlander Fox]

Now I have to release my stable of "Toss-Dwarves".

Damn, I hope they don't arm themselves...

No, they participate quite willingly, and get paid for it. I guess it beats the hell out of living in a little cottage in the enchanted forest with six other bachelors of similar stature.
