See, I thought Dwarf tossing was something completely different.


And a lot more private.

I showed this to my roommate who is the news guy at a radio station here and he said that apparently some dwarves are pretty pissed because being 'tossed' was how they earned their livelihood.

I miss Ontario. Well Toronto anyway.

>: - That's what we need is the government telling what consenting adults should, or shouldn't do.

>: - Now I have to go to on the Quebec side to get in a couple of rounds of good ol' fashion dwarf tossing for fuck sakes!

I'm pretty sure "Little Person Tossing" is the reason I have a court order forbidding me to be a scoutmaster.
