I doubt I am the only one who has benefited - I doubt I am the first and only who has called on the Consigliere - I am just brazen enough to call for dues paid publicly n full to Hiz Honor's fav charity - no pressure. :lifter

From the sounds of his last adventure on the ice I think councillor slap shot might appreciate a new cup more.
TS,
Heck, I'd give him a REAL Canuckistan hockey puck plus the pics of stitches and all, but alas, the Man is honourable... I TOLD him the first person story of the, "first Canadian females on the ice requireing jocks," experience, but he's a lawyer...
and it is way past the time frame for a good case law fight so...

Is he a tosser, or a tossee?

Is height negotiable? Is there a Petite Middle Weight class?
All other rules conceded as listed, Sir. (Though I note nothing at all about fighting back)
While greatly amused, I refuse to be misdirected: Stay on topic, if you will - we have an opportunity to donate to a worthy cause - I dare to differ from TS' s topic shift and throw down my Tiara as a gauntlet!

Geeez, I just said I'd contact him as soon as hes done with his seminar, you think I'm kidding???? RL is a busy man, between hockey, dwarf throwing and his day job its difficult at best to have a few words with him on a daily basis. (Obviously you’ve no idea how difficult it is to line up a horde of little people and toss them about.)

Uhm, yeah... I did say Tiara. Somewhat tarnished, slightly dented, stones misisng... you get the picture. Don't make me toss in the wand and pixie dust. Do they train you gents for pixie dust distribution? uh-huh. Thought so.
Jeesh - just because YOU can't get the Consigliere to answer your mail is no reason to deny me the small pleasure of Knighting him for valour.

Don't worry, I'll be too far away to let on :D
I have been asked to come out (uh-oh)... here, to help pursuade the counselor, on the behalf of an in this context truly unknown friend. Therefore I shall break a little secret.
When I asked for an opinion on an immigration problem, RL offered help. Offering help, he did not complain even once when he received an 80+ page document to read. Although this was cut short because of unrealistic expectations on the System, the way he entered into it is commendable.
I did not offer him anything and I gave him nothing. He did not ask for anything and claimed to be glad to be of help.
Later on, I didn't manage to retrieve a hockey jersey for him, the real one from a game. He has not said one demanding sentence or urged me in any way.
So, what do I make of this, myself not entirely shy to the subject?
I think, that if RL wanted an Audi RS6, he'd say so. And he would have warned beforehand.
I will not speculate in his motivations, although they appear to be honorable. To go against his will in repaying them, should he or should he not want to, would be a little disrespectful even if it is with a good intention. I happen to have talked with Pandora at numerous occasions, and know that she knows of few greater sins than that.
So what will I conclude?
Things goes around, life will see to it that he's repaid one way or another, and as it appears today, he's quite content.
He may call on you one day, he may not. You might hug, you might never meet. Both can rest assured that you each did what you wanted to do, otherwise you would not have done it. You both had your motivations.
If I'm out of step, I am sure that the counselor will correct me. I think I understand how you're thinking Pandora, but it seems that if you want to satisfy your urge to repay RL right now, you'll have to do it indirectly. Either he will name a secondary cause, or you can identify his interests.
I would not go against his will on this, out of respect. Perhaps pay it forward is a better model?

Rules for Dwarf Throwing
If a dwarf is thrown through a glass window or glass door, he must wear gloves and a suitable mask.
If a dwarf is thrown through a burning hoop, extinguishers must be provided.
If a dwarf is thrown down a well, the organizers must ensure that the bottom of the well is dry, and is covered by leaves to a depth of three inches..
If a dwarf is to be thrown across the path of an oncoming train, the thrower must previously satisfy the organizers that he bears no personal malice against the throwee.
If a dwarf is thrown into a pond or river, he must wear a wetsuit and need not be tightly bound.
If dwarfs are thrown at night, they may be painted with phosphorescent paint, so that the point of impact may be clearly seen.
If a dwarf refuses to be bound in the usual way before throwing, he may be put in a straitjacket of the requisite size.
If a jockey impersonates a dwarf and wins a competition because his light weight allows him to be thrown farthest, he will be liable to a fine of $1000 or three years imprisonment.
It is strictly forbidden in dwarf-throwing literature and publicity, to refer to dwarfs as 'persons of restricted growth' or 'small people'.

I remember we had a midget at school when I was much younger. He was a bit of a dick and one time threatened to punch me in the balls. I laughed. He made a lunge. So I pushed him with my foot and he fell to the ground and I laughed again.
I was villified. Good times those.
If only he was wearing a green hat and spoke with an Irish accent. It would have made it much better.

We always heard the stories the most while humping through the Kahuku's. It seems that Menehune only come out during field problems when you're real tired. ;)
Nothing like doing hands across Dillingham AF because a troop lost an M-4, PAQ-4C and M-203 during an air assualt from the big island. He was a local and firmly believed the Menehune had something to do with his rifle w/accessories sliding out the door over the ocean. :rolleyes:

Maybe you should visit Wal-Mart for your future tiara purchases if your Prada tiaras just don't hold up.
