I guess that’ll do.

We have pretty much a monarchy in America now anyway.

Did someone tell you my wife is French?

I was living in Michigan when the state banned dwarf tossing. It had been popular in bars. The local TV news interviewed several little people who were very upset over the loss of income.

I’m going to drive my MG midget to Little Italy to buy a house on short sale. I got the extra money by shorting the Chinese market.

Where is Robert Reich on this issue?

I think I’d rather be called a “midget” than “little person”. “Little person” just sounds so...... Well... gay!!!

Some folks are so mad they need to be held back.

A game of midget tossing should have broken out.

Well, somebody has to do it, and I guess it is my turn:

Yes. My co-worker is 6-6 and my dad’s cousin is 6-8. My co-worker is offended and I am sure cousin Art would be by the San Francisco logo.

One of my favorite Randy Newman songs.

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick ‘em up
Just to say hello

They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep

They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time

I'm diggin' "the Tunnelites" bud.

Shoot, you remind me that the school teams of a tiny hamlet in the eastern part of the state used to call themselves the "Clams", owing to the ubitquity of ancient seabed fossil remains over there in what is now the Red River (of the North) Valley.

The Tower City (named for the giant radio tower near there) Clams. There were no girls teams back then, alas, thus depriving us of the delight of cheering on "The Bearded Clams".

You could get a cheer-leading squad that would be appropriate.

I guess they figure they need to protest while the iron to strike down pokitically incorrect nicknames is hot.

Rather small of them.

Why can't people like that just stay home? They obviously don't care how uncomfortable they make us by appearing in public, so why should we care about their feelings?

Life is a two-way street, there, half-pint. Figure it out, and then get the hell back inside your house!

LOL!
