Dwarf Tossing
« on: July 07, 2012, 12:02:11 AM »
I had lunch at the Aviation Brigade DFAC today. One of the big screen TVs was turned on to a sports channel, maybe ESPN. I saw a short story about competitive dwarf tossing. It looked like the discus throw, but with a midget instead of a discus.

I nadined "dwarf tossing" and "midget tossing", but there are not many pictures of this sport. Perhaps it's like Fight Club.

Only good use for them. You posted this just to bug me didn't you BD. By the way, midjets should never be tossed or mistreated in any way.

As long as the dwarf/midget is being tossed with said dwarf/midget's permission, I have no problem with this sport. 

I read an article about this a few years back.  Apparently, large sums of money can be made by the tossee.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

A crowded elevator smells different to a midget.
