    Rumple-The community gifts a nose?

    Like many people I have been reading the untethered outbursts of Rumple over a remarkably short time considering the mass of higgildy- piggildy ,topsy-turvy content.
    He is indeed a wise idiot.
    It appears he wants for very little but the opportuinity to continue being spastic/elastic/fantastic.
    However his story of his nose-job and the great impact it had on him touched me as I'm sure it touched you all.
    If he were to fully examine his yearning for his old nose back, and come to the conclusion that it above all else would make him a happier rumple.
    Then I would suggest that we all chip in and provide some collective cash and more importantly a cover letter that could be presented to the finest nose surgeon in the world explaining who Rumple is and why we believe that in providing his services for a token sum he would be perhaps engaging in the most meaningful rhynoplastic action of his career.
    Rumple has a cast of his old one.
    All we need is a letter a contact address and someone trustworthy who would set up a bank account that we all put $20 into.
    If we can get the doc to do it for free then the money goes to a large party in the country of rumples choosing.
    It would also make a touching sunday night tv movie.
    Feedback?

    To save you time in trying to unearth the post from the mountain of generosity
    I've cut and pasted it below.

    Here Is My Nose Story!It's True!
    ===================================
    The pinnacle of my clowning misery was getting a nose-job!If you're a clown never get a nose-job!
    Here the story goes.........it's a long long long story!
    Year's ago(1996)i did a 16 hour show at the Byron Bay Music & Art's Festival & during the show.....i said....just off the cuff"Wouldn't it be funny to meet Tiny Tim?"
    Some lady in the audience heard me...& said"I know someone who know's him!"She then said"I'll take you round there sometime!"
    She gave me her number & oneday we went around to a chap's house called Martin Sharp!It was quite a coincidence as i collected Tiny Tim records & they were very hard to get!Even Martin was surprised that i had quite a few as they are really rare!
    It was funny to listen to Tiny Time(sorry Tiny Tim)on the record player go for hours on end as Martin would be painting an album cover for Tiny's next record....while the music would play relentlessly!
    Oh by the way....Tiny Tim.....sang"Tip Toe Through The Tulips",on a ukulele!He had a really big kind of Roman-Jewish looking nose & really cheesy teeth & a really high falsetto voice!He was also kind of big & gawky & would wear weird suits that would be too tight for him!He had quite a repertoire of songs & was infact a musicologist!Tiny Tim got his name from the Charles Dicken's story..."A Christmas Carol".The "Tip Toe Through The Tulips",song become a number one hit for Tiny in 1968!The song was originally from the 30's i think.....as Tiny really liked 30's songs!Crikey!I'm getting off the track a bit here.....now back to the nose!
    Are you still with me?
    NOw where was i........?Oh yes!For years & years & years i would get a blocked left ear.....& i would have to constantly pop it to release the pressure!It felt like i was always in an airplane or something.....where ya have to pop the buggers again & again!It was hard to concentrate....so i would go to ENT(ear/nose & throat)specialists to see what the problem was!They would say i had a blocked Eustacion tube in my left ear....& gave me various ear-drops & ear-tests & that....which didn't ever really stop the blocking!I thought i was going mad....& went again & again to get more opinions!I also went to allergists & one said i was allergic to mould in the air & i would have to take innoculations which last for an 8 mth period & then more for year's after!It all sounded very expensive.....& i couldn't afford it!
    I let it go for a while & then i saw an old ENT specialist who said i had a crooked septum & it needed realignment!He then said i should get a nose job!He was 80 & he was a bit wobbly on his instruments & he said it wouldn't be fair on me or him if he did it....so he referred me to one of his collegue's Dr Pouw(should be Dr Pow)!It was strange also that this old man had lots of Punch magazines in the waiting room.The old ENT specialist knew i didn't have much money(this was when i was 22...still don't any now)so he got his secretary to type up a letter saying"Please don't give this chap too much monetary trauma!"
    Quite a few weeks later i visited Dr Pouw who had a practice in Edgecliff...which is one of the more posher areas in Sydney!It was quite a lush setup.....i thought as there were also respectable well off looking types....waiting in the waiting room!In consultation Dr Pouw said to me that i should have my septum realigned & how does"$200 sound!"I thought"God!That's cheap!I usually get a congested nose & also a blocked left ear!"He said for me to come back next week which i did....to get my nose fixed!He seemed as if he was friendly....but friendly can also be astute in some cases!I borrowed $200 from Martin Sharp as i was skint at the time!I was also not so well mentally prepared for the occasion as i was dating a Sth American girl at the time!
    When i was in the surgical theatre....he didn't look so jolly as he did in consultation & this sort of gave me the butterflies!I was just about to back out of it.....but he cave me the anaesthetic....before i could make up my mind....& then my eyelids felt like lead & i was out for the count!I stayed the night there & when i woke up i had a cast on my nose!After a week i was allowed to take it off which i did in the practice again!I completely flipped my lid when the cast was removed as it my character had changed overnight...& said"IT was fuckin' awful!"'which spun them out a bit....& the nurse told me"to shut up & give it time!"I told her where to go!Weeks & weeks past....but still i couldn't believe what a fool i was.....as i much preferred my original nose!The one i was brought up with!It was a real natural jester's nose in the first place.It had a natural beak & was a bit bent....but was perfect for the jestery look!Had more dimension!I was upset that i didn't get to fully exploit my natural expression of Creation's design of being anatomically correct!It was a real Head-Fuck to get the nose taken out of your know!
    This was the worst mistake i made in my life!I had absolutley no fear of pulling faces as i was before....as i had nothing to hide!Now i have to hide a nosejob.....so i have to wear a nose mask to compensate for the beaky nose i used to have!It's amazing when it comes to expression....what a little off the nose can do!It probably sounds like i'm going on a bit about it......but if you're a clown & you get a nose-job.....you would probably relate to where i'm coming from!It's easier to take away than add!Oh!God!I know it's no good to focus too much on the nose(even though i didn't before in the first place)....but after i had a nose-job...it make me focus on it even more.It was like a Chinese puzzle....& it just felt like i wasn't all there like i used to be!I felt like i'm only 60 percent now.....& really lost the zest in my jest & stopped performing for a year!It was the 16 hour show in Byron Bay that got me back on track again.....as i hadn't performed for a while!I wore a carrot nose!
    I know it's not good to focus too much on the nose.....but it is one of the funniest things on the human anatomy & coming back down to your body for a medium for your art....you can use a beak to comic advantage!I became obsessed with this nose problem & drew hundreds of noses & would read everything i could about noses to try & solve this nose problem!It would give me more & more anxiety....& i would see more & more nose specialists to try & figure how i could get my old nose back!I spent much more money just freaking out how i could get my old nose back.....than i paid for the nose-job(so called bargain)in the first place!I have books full of nose drawings!Everything i would draw....would end up having noses in it!Some nose specialists would be surprised that i knew alot about noses & would sometimes worry when i would quote them on techniques....on how i could get my old nose back!I personally think that alot of nose specialists may have the academic knowledge about noses....but don't have the artistic ability to do a good design,well nose job!When you think about it......Michaelangelo can umpteen......5,000 cups of tea & take all the time in the World to create a masterpiece......but a surgeon only has a certain time limit & has to be extremely articulate.....& even so the body is an organic sculpture & can distort in time!I this things like this are amongst some of the hardest artistic puzzles to crack as you really have to be a genius to compete against Creation's design!I really am tempted though......that there is hopefully someone with the ability on this Planet who can put my nose anatomically correct again!
    It surely is an easy thing to procrastinate because it's not easy to trust anyone.....when you give yourself over for them to sculpt you!I certainly don't give the nose as much attention as i did when i was 22.....but still i wear a false nose when i perform....as i just don't feel comfortable pulling faces without it!I can do deadpan expression with more ease.It probably sounds like i'm a hyper-condriac about it all......but i just never perform anymore without a false nose!It's kind of self defeating a bit.....as i'm a naturalist.....& having a false nose on....just isn't the real thing!The real nose is much more diverse......& you can switch characters more easily....as having a false nose....more or less moulds you into one character!It's looks more realistic if i affix the nose on with spirit gum glue as having elastic noses....strethes the base of the nose a bit,making it wider!God!There's so much in a nose....it's unbelievable!
    I mean the nose is right between your eyes & is the focal point of the face & is the centre(scenter)of attention!It's connected to the pineal glands(have i got it right)& helps channel the chakras.Oxygen the most important element in life goes through the nose....& the nose hairs filter out the carbon dioxide!The sense of smell is also the most neglected sense....& is also very important indeed!I have yet to read the book"the perfume",but will do so!
    I mean it's much more impromptu to just put on your jester's hat & then you're already there!Now it's like i have to do a painting before i start my show......& also it takes time to take it off....with the make-up!Oh!Crikey!It sometimes mmakes me feel like an artificial fool as it's much more natural not to wear makeup.It kind of ruins your credibility if you have to always rely on a prop on your nose!It almost defies the purpose of being a stand-up comedian....as not looking funny....can sometimes be more cutting edge....whereas wearing a costume or nose.....is too obvious.Sometimes your costume can work to your disadvantage!I can't wear the costume without the nose!It's really weird like that!Some people probably think i'm a little pretentiuos when i leave my nose on all day.....but it get's tiring having to stick it on & off all the time when there are more shows to be had throughout the day.It's not good to take it off & keep glueing it back on again & again throughout the day.....day after day....so i prefer to keep it on once!It's hard for the false nose to metamorphosis into your natural features...naturally.....so metaphysically you can't get your nose to grow back by thinking about it!It's like at times.....i just fantasize....that my false nose really is me....when i'm wearing my costume....so it's goes with the show!Maybe i should try some Pinocchio affirmations or consult Nostrildamus to see what he predicts about me trying to get my old nose back?
    Oh no!I hope it doesn't sound like the Universe revolves around my nose or my nose revolves around the Universe!The jester must transcend the nose(knows)....as we're all just a freckle on the nose of time!Nobody get's out of this World alive....so i shouldn't give my nose too much time....or should i?I know humour comes from within.....well the most important.....is the humour that comes from your heart!It's good to have healthy humour.....but i must admit that if you couldn't see visual comedian's....."How would they...then be funny?"Mr Bean couldn't even be seen by blind people!Oh!What a topic this nose topic is!I could write a Nose Bible....there would be more to write....i'd just keep including more editions with more chapters.
    Maybe i can clone my old nose back?I know there is more important things in life,than to worry about your own silly nose.....as there is someone always worse off than yourself.....so i shouln't ever complain about it again!I guess we all do to a certain degree....when we are the subject we are dealing with!Maybe i'll get a honker of a beak oneday.....& then have a slide projection on the side of my nose!A bump is better than a skijump!
    I have now collected up to about 150 different noses!I just can't wear them all at once!Perhaps i should do the "Nose Show?"It's a funny effect when you make a nose out of latex & then don't cut any holes out!I then paint it & affix it & the inhalation back to nose go all skewiff...& twisted!It can be a funny effect...as you can twist the nose to any angle & then inhale...& the inhale will take the nose...to your required angle!It's a multi-nose really...all in one!It doesn't get rather tiring though!
    The good thing that Dr Pouw(the chap who did my nose-job)was.....he made a cast of my original nose.....so perhaps oneday i get really get my beak back right again!I also nearly lost this cast with this cast of the nose i have now & also othere nose i made(the nose lunchbox)!I left my nose-box in a $2 dollar shop & a couple of days really i lost it!I looked all over the city & eventually went back to the $2 shop by fluke & it was still there in the squeaky crab section(crate)!Absolutely no joke!It's was a complete fucking fluke!God!THe Universe is just too twisted!I have more than 101 nose stories....perhaps more than 1001.....but it would drive you & myself mad....if i told them!There's lots of other things in Life to focus on.....so let's forget the whole thing & go onto the next topic!
    P.S.I hope i haven't ruined my reputation now...after this self-centred nose epic?
    I just lost my masculine edge.....& now i'm even more feminine!It didn't change the voice though....as it was already like that!That's the history behind my nose!I guess there are some clowns that have made it with a stuck on nose!This has been the toughest lesson in my performing carreer......so i advice all clowns out there who think....of getting a nose job....to think twice....as your body is the most important instrument you can have.....much more natural,diverse & versatile than props can ever be!A secretary might want a nose-job for asthetic reasons...but then again won't have to pull faces for a living....as does a clown!Don't be fooled by $200 bargains!
    Quite strangely enough i was at the Tasmanian Circus Festival a few year's ago & i met some girl there that i knew!She was going on..about telling me....she knows someone who could put my nose back right!She said he is also in my art classes as i teach life drawing...& he's a nice guy!She then said"what was the name of the guy you saw?"I said"Dr Pouw!"She said"Oh my God!That's him!"How twisted is that!Twilight Zone!
    I do know of one chap that who could probably get it right....as he's the most experienced nose specialist out of all of them....as other specialist's have mentioned him!I have seen him & he seems to be the most knowledgable on the topic...& seems more down to earth...& a World specialist....& 10 times more expensive!Maybe i'll get my nose back in time & then i i won't wear the false noses so much.....so i can be liberated to pull faces again like i used to!It's certainly tempting!I can still wear false noses with different costumes though!I will transcend the jester....but will always have the fool to fall back on...or perhaps i'll just get 101 different jester outfits & put them all in my mobile castle with the steering wheel with all the trinkets & that!Anyway i better go before i could lose this post!That really would be a crying shame after all this typing!See you next time!P.S.I wonder if this post will ever get read anyway?I'm sure there's much more i could write about the nose.......but i better escape the situation while i have the chance!
    Mush love to the World & may all good things come true!Signing Off Nostrilstiltskin The Universal Fool Who Knows The Nose With More Sense Than No-Sense!P.S.Inhale....Exhale.....Inhale....Exhale... ....breathing in air of immortality!I won't be bound by this physical body.....I am becoming One With All Creation!The Show Must Go On!
    P.S.Perhaps if it hadn't of been for that Tiny Tim connection.....maybe i'd still have my old nose back?Well the timing could have falling into another pattern!I never actually got to meet Tiny Tim.....before he died!I did make an unusual coincidental contribution.....to one of his album's as MArtin Sharp....mixed my sleigh bell's into one of his Xmas jingles!
    P.S.All this nose(knows)stuff is turning me into a nose-ologist!Maybe i'll end up nosing(knows)too much....because i'll nose(knows)too much!:Confused:

    maybe I'm just thick, but I don't understand 98% of what he writes. There is SO much of it that if there is a diamond in there it's going to take a VERY BIG CRANE and a huge excavation team weeks to find it.

    The Aligator Hunter was the only guy I've ever heard say "crikey" until I read Rumps' posts.

      Don't worry to much about it, étienne, it's an antipodean thing. You sort of have to know Rumple. The rest of the world don't/didn't understand Norman Gunston, Steady Eddie or Roy and HG.
      But you ARE treading very close to sacrilege mentioning Rumple and that other guy in the same sentence. There are moves afoot to rescind the Crocodile Hunter's passport, the next time he sets foot back in Australia, in an effort to reduce the damage this man is doing to our international reputation.

      Martin, where do I send the money? At least he'll might get some rest under a general anaesthetic, although I bet some-one will steal his unicycle whilst he's under.

          I queried my therapist, Roz
          (amid oedipal rantings of Oz)
          "Do we dare play this game?
          Are we skew as we claim?
          Can we all purchase Rumple a schnozz?"

          She concurred without hesitation, and I'm in with my twenty. It would be worth it for me to be able to say to my earthwalking friends (or even crowds)
          "I once pitched in 20 bucks toward Rumplestilskin the Jester's nose unjob."

          Greedwise, this thing is a moneymaker too. WHAT a documentary... can the 20 be earmarked for proportionate profit share in the final sell out to Miramax? Oh sorry, my thirst is showing.
          Its brilliant, Martin.. I would put forth Nelson, Ed Stander, or our Jim as cash custodians.
          There are even people outside our little circle who would jump on it. Go boy go, its a cause bigger than you, man.

            It would also help lots of northern hemisphere readers if they knew something of Martin Sharp and his place in the temple of Australasian art. There are some stories there, by crikey.

              you can gibber all you want rumple but plans are a -foot.
              pray tell, what is the name of the most famous nose doctor you know that all the other nose doctors look up to?

              And to the uninitiated, Rumple is one of the most absurd characters on the planet (and even rarer-it comes naturally)
              If you set yourself up as a critic of some sort then that reveals more about your pompous nature than rumples careless quality controlless ranting.
              My point is that personal opinons that differ from the thrust of this subject reveal only a breathtaking self absorbtion.
              Should we care that your not interested in this subject but still find time to proclaim that fact.
              I am after a groundswell of support from absurdists who recognise that supporting one rumpled, ragged, excentric who has for years asked nothing of the world but that it matches him in absurdity (its neck and neck), is a project with a certain elan.
              Comme ce comme ca doesn't cut it.
              It is interesting to see rumple decend into hypergibberish in the face of generosity and affection.
              I am off now to privately ask various people whether they will hold the bag.
              And rumple again--whose the specialist?

                Oh I give up!
                I've searched this whole site to find the post I SWEAR I read earlier this fall when Rumple was interested in going to school at Circus Oz. At that point, having seen Rumpel in Rotterdam, I thought why not pool together our resources for his tuition?

                The Fool of Fools? He is OUR Fool. Entertainer of entertainers. I just got out of Dell'Arte and believe it was really good for me. I felt, if Rumple feels the next step in his path is Circus School, I'm willing to put some money behind that. See what happens! But alas I knew the deadline for Circus Oz had passed, so I kept my little thought posted in my wee brain.

                My feeling on the nose issue is that; in addition to being My Jester, I also want Rumpel to be human, including a grave mistake made in life. (At least then I would have something else in common with him.) I'm open though.

                To be honest I haven't read the story yet, and I have a HUGE mischevious laughter-inducing distraction here at the moment.
                So I'll have to read it later and elucidate you all on my opinion at that time.

                Time for frolicking and cavorting IRL. Ciao.

                  Now wait a moment. Before we go giving Rumple his old nose back, I'd like to know if his first nose job cleared up the blocked ear problem. He doesn't say in his post.
                  Here's the rub - suppose he got his old nose back, and his blocked ear problem came back also? How would we feel? I don't think anyone but Michael Jackson could stand a third nose job!

                    Jenny, the post you're thinking of should be on page 11 of Rumples ravings (but Jim, I cant seem to open it, error 404). It referred to a post Rumple made in Alan Clay's newsletter. I've copied it below.

                    "Hello Alan it's Rumpelstiltskin here in London wishing you all well
                    and all!! Crikey! Have been doing a few fests here & there! Did
                    the Comedian's Feast in Romania a few mths back which was fun
                    ....well hard strange fun work! Also did a 24 hr non-stop jestering
                    stint at the European Juggling Convention in Holland a couple of
                    weeks back, in the No Fit State Circus Tent. Crikey! I would really
                    like to do the Circomedia Circus course in Bristol England which
                    starts in late September but i simply don't have the money! It costs
                    £4175 for 10 mths! Does anyone have any suggestions for swift
                    funding or whatever so i can make this course a reality? Please
                    let me know a.s.a.p if you have any hints!" Cheeers & best regards
                    Rumpelstiltskin. The Worldly Kangaroo Jester Of Oz! Crikey!
                    pixiejester@yahoo.com

                    Regarding the Radicalrhinoreversal funds. Can we just open an American Express Bank account? Then we can make internet transfers or just go to our local branch. Currency would be automatically converted.

                      Eek!Eek!Eek!Still after a few days...file 10 & 11......seem to be in the void somewhere......mean-while...keeping...a weazel in suspense with his fingers crossed!I also just noticed quite a few minutes ago that file 6 has disappeared aswell!At least file 10 & 11 have some sort of display(Error 404)....but file 6 is completely blank!What is going on?I've lost over 100 posts!

                      Crikey!This nose topic might get blown completely out of proportion!Gosh!It takes quite a bit to get ya head around this one!You could get completely lost in the nose topic!Some people....well nose specialists have spent 30 years on this topic & still can't get it right!I think Creation provides the right answer in the first place....as far as anatomy goes....well...i guess that's a subjective view....as there are many different angles to this topic.Well the knowledge i have now....if i had of known back then....i would of been able to articulate myself more precisely in communication to get the job done more wisely!Well i didn't know....i was going to lose my beak....so much on my side-on profile....i just thought it was going to be put a little more straight to re-align my septum to help me breathe better.He did more than i expected him to!It's almost after you've had a nose-job you know what to fully say....but he should of told me.....that i was going to lose my beak!I think that it is not fair.....& i feel sorry for alot of people who have nose jobs who don't like them....because....the surgeon should fully articulate everything as precisely as possible to give people full warning of what to expect!Alot of them just don't have very good artistic ability!I think alot of them should train to be sculptors aswell....& take art classes!When you view their books.....i think most of the time people looked better with their original nose...because there is more character with the natural curvature of the nose.....with an atomical arch!I personally think a bump is better than a skijump.....convex...itstead of concave!Alot of noses in the book just look like that they have got a ruler & gone straight down the line,chopping off their character!I think character is more important than good looks.A clown has to pull faces for a living whereas a secretary can get away with being a deadpan for a living!He should of offered to show me his book of noses in the first place!When he told me how does $200 sound....i thought"How cheap!",as i heard someone say it costs alot more than that!"
                      If you're a clown....think before you get a nose-job because you could lose your sense of humour!
                      If someone has a broken nose they can sometimes just get it put back straight again...without losing any of the nose....but some nose-jobs...you end up losing some of your nose.....well i used to have more of a beak!IT's easier to take away than add!If i still had my old nose now...& wanted to get it straightened..for better breathing & not getting a blocked left ear(giving me sinus problems)....i would tell the surgeon to straighten it....but keep all the anatomy there!It makes much more sense doesn't it?I guess the blocked ear thing isn't so bad....& can breathe a bit better....but as far as pulling faces go...it's not anatomically natural!
                      For some reason it seems that i get more blocked noses Down Under....than Up Over here in Europe....probably because the mucous membranes react different when it's really hot & it's a different climate?
                      Gorblimey!Nose-jobs are certainly not my cup of tea at all......as i much prefer to be a naturalist.....but to articulate the topic more precisely...it's impossible to put it concisely!THere's so much in a nose!I just hope that i don't spend my whole life on it....as i definately know there is much more important things to be conscious about!You can't dwell in self pity as that's a waste of time....but getting a nose-job....can make you become more fixed on youself...if your character relies on the "Schnoz",for expression(see it's a paradox)!I keep thinking...."I'm going to get my beak back!"It makes you go round in circles.....because it's more Down-To-Earth to be a naturalist...whereas talking about getting a beak back seems....a bit artificial!Imagine if Mr Bean had a nose-job!He'd probably flip his lid!
                      Oh crikey!I should just shut up....because there are people out there with much worse problems than me!I guess we all dwell on ourselves...a bit...as we are the one's that have to personally deal with ourselves.It can become paradoxical about complaining about the nose....when there are worse problems out there!
                      I'm not saying that all nose surgeons are bad....as some people can just get their nose put more naturally anatomically correct again without losing any body tissue!
                      I think all nose-surgeons should fully put this fact forward so people can get a better picture of how to visualize what to expect...before going ahead & possibly losing some of their visual character!
                      Oh God!Michael Jackson's example.....is the worst example!As i said...this topic really isn't my cup of tea....as it gives me the butterflies a bit.You can't compete against Creation's design....but even if Michael Jackson had of articulated ever so precisely to the surgeon...with clear communication between the two...about getting the job done as naturally as possible....it would of turned out to be a much better result!It's all about communication....well sometimes it doesn't always turn out as expected!Michael probably realises this now!It shows that he obviously has more dollars than sense!He looked fine as he was in the first place....as anyone would agree.....except for the surgeon....who just wanted his money!
                      I don't want to put in the same category as Michael Jackson!He really went overboard!
                      All i want is me friggin' beak back....like the real jester's nose...it once was for Christ's sake!
                      Anyway i'm going to consult Nostrildamus on this as it's a 1 in 2,fifty-fifty thing....whether he can give me the right advice about getting my(knows)...sorry....nose put right?
                      I'm gonna get that beak back again....so i can get over the hill & get the full(fool)zest back in my jest! P.S.The beak was a bit more cutting edge!

                        I was thinking, even if Rumple doesn't want the ytsalponihr, can we start the fund anyway? Sort of a perpetual hat for the Performers' Performer.

                        ps. in the process of writing this, I've discovered I have the instant ability to spell words in reverse with out thinking about it. noonretfa lla siht htiw gniyalp neeb ev'I. deripsni m'I ,yekirC. C'mon everyone give me some words here, bet you I can do 'em.

                        Where do we send the money?
