This story was brought to my attention by a friend who shall remain nameless other than to say once upon a time he was a mental petit mort wordsmith...and a bit of a stirrer
so in his Austen Tayshus honour, the 4th title of this post is "Thanks Warrah ta".
I have decided to post the original article because it's...to put it mildly...freakin hilarious! I have added my own 'flavour'. Of course.

NOT even the presence of the Waratahs' new mascot, Tah Man, could relieve Test winger Lote Tuqiri's anxiety about being high above Sydney yesterday.

The unveiling of Tah Man, who will parade along the sideline at Waratahs matches this season, involved a group of players joining their mascot at the top of Sydney Tower. In blustery rain and high winds, Tah Man led Tuqiri and co onto the Skywalk.
The novelty of the fantastic views soon wore off, however, when an excited Tah Man, who boasts a voice similar to The Simpsons' Duff Man, began jumping around the small platform.

Tuqiri put a hand on Tah Man and provided him with some wise advice. "It was pretty hairy up there …
(referring to his mangy dreadlocks and 3 year stubble)...it was cold and windy, and I had two hands on the railing the whole time," Tuqiri said after being helped back to solid ground.
Oh good. Tuqiri might now learn the value of always having 2 hands on the ball."That's why I told Tah Man to calm down. Slow down. He was jumping up and down on the platform. Tah Man was going crazy up there. I said to Tah Man, 'Chill out. Chill out. Leave all that to the footy field'."
But Tuqiri said he would call upon Tah Man during the year to help him out with super-human advice, especially when he needed to psych up fellow backs.
In his role of back-line leader this season, Tuqiri will be expected to provide guidance and direction to one of the lesser experienced of the Super 14 attacks.
Let me just explain why Tuqiri is the back-line leader. Shocking as it seems, Tuqiri is now the Waratah with the most experience in a team that is now more raw than a freshly scraped knee.In his role of back-line leader this season, Tuqiri will be expected to provide guidance and direction to one of the lesser experienced of the Super 14 attacks.

"Just as long as Tah Man stays in the suit, he will really get the players pumped," Tuqiri said. "The leadership I will handle my way.
I'm probably more of an action man than one who makes crazy speeches. But if someone needs a hand, I'm certainly happy to help them out."

According to Tah Man, the inspiration for his arrival to save the Waratahs was former Wallabies coach Dave Brockhoff.
"Brock put out the call that the Tahs needed something extra, something special in 2008. That something extra is Tah Man," Tah Man said with typical humility.
