[LargeFormat] It's only a matter of time before another photo opportunity is gone forever...

It would seem there maybe a loop hole...A loop hole big enough to drive  
a trebuchet through.  You see, this law only bans Dwarf tossing, not  
dwarf LAUNCHING.   However I must say this variation of the sport must  
be done outside as any pub I've seen is too restrictive in size to have  
the same dwarf be launched more than once.  The legality of coercing  
volunteers is another matter.

This was one of two sports that is no longer played in our Highland  
games. It wasn't actually banned, it just atrophied from a lack of  
volunteers to play the sport.. Caber catching was the second and it  
died for the same reason.

Enough silliness...gotta go shopping!
