Kinda funny.

I imagine my adventurer gripping the spear by the tip of the shaft and then slinging it towards a kobold

It could be spinning around the shaft.

This should be done if one has higher than novice throwing skill.

It should also depend on the quality of the spear. I never tried any of this myself but I imagine the worse quality the weapon the clumsier it'd be to use.

Unless it's just completely shoddy, there's really not much difference the quality of a rounded wooden shaft can make...
Hell, what would that even mean?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

They always make a big deal of properly balanced weapons in the movies. How good of a job can a dabbling dwarf do anyway?

Hey, you 12 year old useless peasant, my legendary weaponsmith was caught on the wrong end of some nasty syndrome so now you have to step up.
