Pull the dwarf's boxer shorts down and win booze – that's the Hillcrest Tavern's latest orientation week gag for Hamilton students.
Tonight, girls get the chance to wrestle pint-sized pub entertainer Andrew Roigard in an inflatable paddling pool full of jelly.
They've got three minutes to try to whip the 1.3m man's boxers off. Fear not, – he's wearing Speedos underneath.
Roigard, 63 kg, a 40-year-old Tauranga engineer, said the event was "risque but not rude", and wasn't exploitive of little people.
"This is just something I want to do and it's not hurting anyone," he said. "I'm an entertainer and this is a job."
Tavern manager Shane Thomas said the wacky-wrestling event had proved a hit at Mt Maunganui where it was trialled. "The girls loved it. They were queueing up to fight him. It's just the novelty of the little fella I guess," Mr Thomas said.
The boys can't wrestle Roigard, but they can toss him down a polythene mat in an event called leprechaun curling. Roigard is smothered in cooking oil and the team that can get his belly button closest to a bullseye wins.

If having chicks pay cash to roll around in Jello and try to pull your pants off is exploitation...

In Lord Of The Rings 1 & 2, the dwarf make reference to "Dwarf Tossing". Just a little trivia for Sunday morning.
