JP:
I can't believe you haven't mentioned "Nacho Mama" yet. This is a Mexican restaurant in downtown Milwuakee--I'm not sure if it's still there--where midgets walk around with sombreros on their heads. The brim of the hat is stacked with tortilla chips, and the top part of the hat holds a dish of salsa to dip in as they walk by.
Milwaukee=class.
If they had a bandoleer of Coronas around their shoulders I think we may have made a serious contribution to Western civilisation.
Gargamel=hilarious.
I don't know why more of you minions haven't figured this out yet.
I have a nice picture of myself and a Mexican dwarf....in Mexico. It is quite the display. I can't look at it without violating myself.

The Master has spoken!! Are we not glad to learn wisdom at his feet?*
*'feet' is technically a circle 3.4' or 3m from the actual physical presence of the Master. It is a requirement to save on laundry costs.
This is correct.
I'm the man. Listen, and fetch me pints of ale.
Ah, the Zen of Bingedrinking. A lesson most hard on the brain (and the liver), but as the Buddha himself said on numerous occasions....
"Make mine a triple with a chaser or I'll smash your f*cking face in".
I wonder if Buddah would have had sex with a midget?
Or jesus?
Or Allah?
I'm guessing Buddah did not have sex with Jesus. Allah did quite the mind f*ck on him, though.
Not to be a party pooper, because I don't mean it that way, but I am thinking of a fellow who was both extremely short and had kind of flippers for arms and truncated legs, who used to 'perform' at Venice Beach. I have a slight and maybe not accurate memory that he had a hard life that might have included sexual stuff. As that may not be true of him, let me put that as conjecture for possible others like him.
I gave him money a lot of times on my beach walks. No, I was not attracted to him, but he was an engaged human and I liked him.
I can only guess that people who would try to have sex with such a person would be users, it seems cruel. On the other hand, I can only blink at what his need for love must have been.
Careful, guys, you don't want one of those there Fatwas :wink:
Could any of you empathize with being a midget or smaller?
They must have sexual needs, and we all wonder... and I can picture various frolicking too. Anyone at all here who can empathize?
Given that you can empathize, as if you are the midget, etc., then I'll back off.
Notice, my dog has very short legs, and people often stop and point...
Okay, I am not as hostile as I sound, just want to pull up some actual thoughts here, including resentments.
All this brings up that we actually have a successful show at our gallery, through no fault of our own, and people are coming in in droves, including, today, this guy I swear is 6' - 6"... commanded the room as he walked in.
So, he went away without buying and he was just one more visitor.
So why is he not a freak, re the average?
But wait, I was trying to talk about midgets. This handsome fellow was just as out of the Mean as any midget, and my thalidomide flippered acquaintance on Venice Beach would be further out of norm.
I assume that a thread like this is built on expectation of backlash. Which, interestingly only happened with a newbie named Deep.
Me, I'd rather see us all talk about actual midgets and short uncles and tiny girls, and how they all deal. But in the meantime we jest.

As no one as defined midget I googled the word looking for a definition. Of the first 20 listings, 8 were for midget sex/porn? The best formal definition I could find was: An extremely small person who is otherwise normally proportioned. But I gather from various sited that it defines a person smaller that 50 inches in height. I also found the midget have a sense of humor

When I was a newly minted and naïve graduate student I gave my heart and soul to a girl who was just over four feet tall (she said she was petite). She dumped me like an empty paper cup for a guy who had a PhD in microbiology (genetics), a tenure track offer from Duke, and a family who's money was old enough to be accused of slave trading. Midgets are cruel.

I dont think this thread was intended for any "actual thoughts" ...

Why don't you start a thread about it? Seriously. It could be an interesting topic. And there's no reason why a jokey thread and a serious thread can't exist side by side. All the better, even, I'd say. Because the unwillingness to start a serious thread about it seems a bad reason to argue that a jokey thread shouldnt, then, exist either ... you know?
So I need to go away with my qualms, and start a nice qualms thread?
My interest is/was in this thread, the dissociation of it.
Wondering if you are all self observant, and not really doubting it, as I am a fan of a bunch of y'all, you've brains.
I made this - even I see - obnoxious comment - late at night when I read the whole thread and said to myself, what????
I see ten pages of hilarity about dwarves, er, dwarfs. It all makes me feel short.
If you sincerely would like to see us "all talk about actual midgets and short uncles and tiny girls, and how they all deal", start a thread about it. Thats all I'm saying.
If your point is rather that we shouldn't have a jokey thread about it, that's something else. "You shouldn't talk like that about those kind of things". I disagree, as I do most any time when someone utters that line.
Did I say you shouldn't talk about that?
(I don't know, I'd have to check back, seems not like me)
Why should I have to start a thread about it, you folks already have, in your way. I am just commenting after a long read.
People get to answer back in politics but I, in particular, need to start a new thread?
I doubt I'd mind jokes if I saw any sympathy at all in the many pages here.
Maybe I am too quick off the mark. I'll check again after page twenty.
