The inclusion of Tom Bombadil in Peter Jackson’s movie, The Fellowship of the Ring, was squelched by a legal dispute. Jackson had cast handless mutant-retard heartthrob Neil Garvey as the legendary musician and nature spirit, but Garvey pulled out when he learned he would not be allowed to keep the CGI hands used to make him appear to play the lute. A sympathetic court ordered the footage—and “handage”—to be destroyed.

Rob,
Your many posts on the topic have given HMR's everywhere hope, and ideally, the rest of us a new perspective on their struggle.
That said, this is day 6 of your campaign. If it goes beyond 7, I will be so motivated that I will take your hands and donate them to one of these brave souls. (Someone has to lead by example.)
