Byron "B.J." Rhodan never feared for his safety in Georgia's bare-knuckled prison system, even though he's a dwarf.
But an insistent guard and a slippery sink led to his downfall, Rhodan alleges in an ongoing federal lawsuit against the state Department of Corrections.
Rhodan, who stands 4 feet 1 inches tall, has spent about 20 months in prison for dealing marijuana and possessing methamphetamine, according to state records.
.
Rhodan, now 23, is trying to get his life back together. An aspiring rapper and songwriter known as "Lil Dirty," Rhodan is enrolled in a media and audio production program at an Atlanta university.
Seems like a rather short article.
Nothing scarier than an angry dwarf named "B.J."
News of little consequence. Give it short shrift.
Tell me about it! Worst night of my life!
Article is short on details.
It does make the field-goal attempt tricky.

I wonder, did he sing this song by Ben Folds Five:
September '75 I was 47 inches high
Mom said someday I would have
A bad ass mother G.I. Joe
for your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class
Now I'm big and important
one angry dwarf
and 200 solemn faces
are you
If you want to see me
check your papers and your T.V.
Look who's tellin' who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye
Don't give me that bullshit
you know who I am
I'm your nightmare little man
Vic you stole my lunch money.
made me cry.
Jane remember second grade
Said you couldn't stand my face
Rather than kiss me you said
you'd rather die
Now I'm big and important
one angry dwarf
and 200 solemn faces
are you
If you want to see me
check your papers and your T.V.
Look who's tellin' who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye
You'll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn't push me around
Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I'm big
Yes you will be sorry
I think I'm just a little bit shorter than you. LOL. I believe it involves some skeletal issues like bowed legs, curved spine & shorter arms & legs.
Another 'aspiring rapper'.
Yeah, that'll get his life straightened out.
Yeah, actually from what little I do know--Dwarfism tends to involve deformity, while Midgets are short and proportioned. I was 4'8 until that amazing growth spurt I had in college and rocketed up to a towering 5'.
The guys been there for 20 months?? Common household accident!!
Ahh a peddling little dope peddling a little dope.
All he needs is a rhyming dictionary and an old record to scratch.
ROFL
If Monica Lewinsky were Snow White, B.J. would definitely be the eighth Dwarf.
>>>What I find exceptionally troubling about this article is that he's 4'1" -- I'm less than a foot taller than he is. What's the official height limit between "little people" and the merely "short"? Does anyone know?>>>
According to a show I watched once, anyone 5'1" and under has a 'form of dwarfism'. There is the midget (not the PC word I know, but trying to explain what people might be familiar with), which has the large head and similiar features and body build. Then there is the 'dwarf' which is proportioned the same as adult, just smaller.
I'm 4'11", so I feel your dwarf pain, hehe.
