Talk:Dwarf-tossing

message: Is there any corroboration of this recent edit (from Anon. User:82.43.80.236)?  "In 1986, the World Dwarf-throwing Championships were held in Australia. USA were not even represented which may weaken the claim that the sport originated in the United States. The undisputed world champions who still currently hold the record were Team GB from London, England Danny Blue, Roy Merrin and Lenny The Giant." --Wetman 20:45, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent images! Now that's corroboration! Good thing I asked. --Wetman 23:02, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Spurious?

message: I assume that whoever tosses his/her dwarf the furthest is the winner, but an article on a rather obscure sport should really tell people how you win it. --Last Malthusian 11:01, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, there should be much more about the actual rules of the sport than there currently is. Arguably, this is considerably more encyclopaedic than anything about the controversy or speculation on the origins. --JamesTheNumberless 15:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ok... so how do you play it?

message: While this has gained popular credence amongst many communities throughout the world, one of the loudest and most vociferous proponents of dwarf-tossing - Kelly Lenihan- has instigated a political party for the re-instatement of this sport. Her call is for Dwarf-tossing to be not only legal, but also included in such prestigious events as the World Games and the Summer Olympics.
No reference. And in which country is this political party? How many members does it have? David.Monniaux 17:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

message: because it's a) redundant, b) inaccurate, c) uncited, and d) awkwardly expressed.
:"Those who continue this bizarre sport will be fined with penalties of not more than $5,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or both. (The state is also notable for its ban on Cow Tipping, despite there being little evidence of the Sport's existance.)"

message: The article is called 'dwarf tossing', we also have 'dwarf-tossing' and 'Dwarf Tossing' in the text.  There is also a discrepancy between 'dwarf throwing' and 'dwarf-throwing'.  Which should we use? 86.136.27.193 13:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs standardising

message: I don't think it's very professional to say that this admirable pasttime probably originated here or there.  If anything it should say "it originated at such and such and here is the citation to prove it", but I don't like mucking with the intro without noting it on the talk page.  So I took it out.

message: Does anyone know the laws regarding dwarf tossing in the UK? seeing as the 1986 world champions i think it would be interesting to know how their home nation feels on the subject. CDuck2 20:05, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "Dwarf tossing is a bar attraction in which dwarfs wearing special padded clothing or Velcro costumes are thrown onto mattresses or at Velcro-coated walls. Participants compete to throw the dwarf the farthest. The term "dwarf throwing" is sometimes used. Some say that dwarf tossing probably originated in ancient Mesopotamia. The dwarves in this region at the time were much smaller than those that participate in contemporary tosses and it can be assumed that the toss distances were much farther than what is seen in Australia today. Ancient Mesopotamian dwarf tosses probably exceeded today's records by 5 to 10 feetBullshit?."
Might wanna fix that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.253.36.46 (talk) 16:00, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
