I GOTS ME A MIDGET!

[Anthony]

i hired a midget for 3 hours to serve chips and salsa in a sombrero for my fantasy football draft this august! word to your madres! i'm currently editing footage of the last 3 seasons worth of drafts and it's coming out nice, the 2006-2007 fantasy football draft video is gonna be classic.

i'm hosting it at my house, and just by having a little person at the draft i will go down in history as hosting the greatest draft party EVA in all the world.

[rkmsuf]

Needs more fighting fish.

[Anthony]

i was so giddy speaking to the midget on the phone. i was expecting him to have a midget name , something cute like "Poofy the Magic Dwarf" (his name is Craig) and sound like a cartoon character. he sounded normal. he asked what the event was for and i go "it's a fantasy football draft, i'm sure you don't know what that is" (i don't know why i assumed that) and he goes "i know exactly what it is, i'm in a league myself". yes! i told him i wanted him to bust our balls and to make fun of anyone he wanted, so it's awesome he's in a fantasy league cuz now he'll actually understand what's going on.

God Bless us, every one.

[Anthony]

i feel like i own him for 3 hours. this isn't like midget tossing at my bachelor party, where the midget was there for a particular reason. it's really up in the air this time. anything goes. i think i want my midget to ride a tricycle in my house.

[Draft Dodger]

like I said...

[VPI97]

Dear Lord...

[Anthony]

this all happened so fast. when i woke up this morning i knew it wasn't going to be such a bad day but hiring a midget for the draft was not even on my radar. Lady Luck blows me a kiss, yet again. the good guys from Astoria always win.

[KWhit]

I have to know.

How much did he cost?

[stevew]

You really should have hired a midget stripper instead.

[Toddzilla]

How quaint...a midget and a mental midget.

[Anthony]

I have to know.

How much did he cost?

$150 per hour. money well spent if you ask me. that little human is gonna WORK at this draft. for 3 hours this year a tiny person is gonna be employed by me. how many people can look in the mirror and say that?

[Anthony]

You really should have hired a midget stripper instead.

it's not gonna be that kind of party. and i don't want naked midgets serving me my food and drink. i don't know if midgets have midget viruses.

[CamEdwards]

i hope somewhere around hour two the midget gives you a nice headbutt to your nutsack. owning another human, jeez.

[Anthony]

i hope somewhere around hour two the midget gives you a nice headbutt to your nutsack. owning another human, jeez.

he won't be able to do that, cuz he'll be wearing a sombrero with chips and salsa in it.

c'mon man, keep up.

[Crapshoot]

i hope somewhere around hour two the midget gives you a nice headbutt to your nutsack. owning another human, jeez.

Cam - would you really want any midget to get close to that particular area of HA ? :D

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

$150 per hour. money well spent if you ask me. that little human is gonna WORK at this draft. for 3 hours this year a tiny person is gonna be employed by me. how many people can look in the mirror and say that?
Well one - your wife. Can't imagine anyone would marry you unless you paid them to.

[Anthony]

Well one - your wife. Can't imagine anyone would marry you unless you paid them to.

hey man, wives are off limits. you know the rules.

Dwarfism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

<!-- start content -->Dwarfism is a condition in which a person, animal or plant is much below the ordinary size of the species. When applied to people, it implies not just extreme shortness, but a degree of disproportion. Dwarfism is now rarely used as a medical term and is sometimes considered impolite or pejorative. While the term little person is the most common expression in America, "dwarf" is still considered polite. According to the Little People of America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_People_of_America) the human definition of dwarfism is "a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" (147 cm) or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that." There are approximately 200 different types of dwarfism [1] (http://www.lpaonline.org/resources_dwarftypes.html)
Of the hundreds of causes of dwarfism in humans, most are genetic, and most involve single gene variations that affect the structure or metabolism of bone, cartilage, or connective tissue. This class of disorder is referred to by physicians as skeletal dysplasia (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Skeletal_dysplasia&action=edit). Chondrodystrophy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrodystrophy), chondrodysplasia (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chondrodysplasia&action=edit), osteochondrodystrophy (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Osteochondrodystrophy&action=edit) are also used (fairly interchangeably) in the medical literature to refer to most of these conditions. In many of these conditions, the bones are the primary affected body part, and the person is otherwise healthy. In many others, the genetic difference affects other body systems, causing unusual features or other major problems. Achondroplasia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achondroplasia) is one of the most common and perhaps the most easily recognized skeletal dysplasia. It affects approximately 1 in 40,000 children, both males and females, as it is due to a mutation of an autosomal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autosome) gene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene).

[B]Insular dwarfism[/B]

Dwarfism is not always a disadvantage. For instance, insular dwarfism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_dwarfism) is the dwarfism of species due to isolated environment and it helps to reduce the need for food.
If Homo floresiensis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_floresiensis), discovered in 2003, turns out to be a true species, then it will be the first known example of insular dwarfism of human beings.
[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dwarfism&action=edit&section=2)]

[B]Problems faced by people with these conditions[/B]
[LIST]
Social and employment opportunities are greatly reduced, regardless of anti-discrimination laws (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-discrimination_laws). Self-esteem and family relationships are often affected, although not necessarily if the person(s) involved are emotionally healthy.
Extreme shortness (in the low 2–3 foot [60–90 cm] range) can interfere with ordinary activities of daily living, like driving or even using countertops built for taller people.
Many can have problems produced by the abnormal bone structures. Early degenerative joint disease, exaggerated lordosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lordosis) or scoliosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoliosis), and constriction of spinal cord (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord) or nerve roots can cause pain and disability. Reduced thoracic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorax) size can restrict lung growth and reduce pulmonary function.
Many of the conditions are associated with disordered function of other organs, such as brain or liver (although this is rare). These problems can be more disabling than the abnormal bone growth.[/LIST][edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dwarfism&action=edit&section=3)]

[B]Diagnosis[/B]

Shortness is usually the concern that brings the child to medical attention. Skeletal dysplasia ("dwarfism") is usually suspected because of obvious physical features (e.g., unusual configuration of face or shape of skull), because of an obviously affected parent, or because body measurements (arm span, upper to lower segment ratio) indicate disproportion. Bone x-rays are often the key to diagnosis of a specific skeletal dysplasia. Most children with suspected skeletal dysplasias will be referred to a genetics clinic for diagnostic confirmation and genetic counselling. See below external links for a list of American referral centers with special expertise in skeletal dysplasias. In the last decade, genetic tests for some of the specific disorders have become available.
During the initial medical evaluation for shortness, the absence of disproportion and the other clues above usually indicates other causes than bone dysplasias. Extreme proportional shortness sometimes indicates growth hormone deficiency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hormone_deficiency).
[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dwarfism&action=edit&section=4)]

[B]Terminology[/B]

[I][B]Little person[/B][/I] (as opposed to [I]big person[/I]), and [I][B]short-statured[/B][/I] are currently preferred terms to refer to a person with extreme, disproportionate shortness. [I][B]Dwarf[/B][/I] is sometimes perceived as having negative connotations, although the term is often used by those affected. The plural is [I]dwarfs[/I] as in "Peter Dinklage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Dinklage) and Wee Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wee_Man) are famous, handsome dwarfs." The plural term [I]dwarves[/I] is used only for the imaginary creature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf). In the 19th century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19th_century) both [I]dwarf[/I] and [I]midget[/I] were ordinary medical terms referring to persons of disproportionate and proportionate shortness, respectively. Like many other older medical terms, they became primarily pejorative as they entered popular use. [I]Midget[/I] is now considered offensive in all contexts to most little people, because of its connotation with little people being gawked at in circus/sideshows.

[I]The Dwarf Don Sebastián de Morra[/I], by Velázquez (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vel%C3%A1zquez). In his portraits of the dwarfs of Spain's royal court, the artist preferred a serious tone that emphasized their human dignity.


Dwarfism is such an obvious difference that it attracts curiosity, humor, and imagination. People have paid just to look at dwarfs or to keep them around for amusement (for example, dwarf tossing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_tossing)). In many times and places this may be the most attractive employment option available, as was the case for some jesters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jester) of medieval Europe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Europe).
When depicted in art, literature, or movies, dwarfs are rarely depicted as "regular people who are very short" but often as a species apart. Novelists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelist), artists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist), and moviemakers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmmaker) attach special moral or aesthetic significance to the "apartness" or the misshapenness.
Artistic representations of dwarfism can be found on Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece) vases and other ancient artifacts, including ancient Egyptian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt) art. Many European (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe) paintings (especially Spanish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain)) of the 16th (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century)–19th (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19th_century) centuries depict dwarfs by themselves or with others.
Several novels have treated dwarfism as a major theme, not necessarily realistically:[LIST]

Other readers may feel that he valued physically unusual people for their differentness, not for their personhood, when he laments medical treatment for reducing the number of picturesquely different people around.
Several 20th (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century) and 21st century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_century) movies & TV shows have addressed the topic or made much use of dwarfs:[LIST]

Toots? That's the best you got? Disappointing.

Anyway, good luck with your midget. Maybe he can make your favorite sandwhich while he's there.

or dribble some spit in it, youll never know since the countertop will block him from your view. MMMMM, salsa and midget spit right in HA's mouth. That IS classic.

[AENeuman]

i hired a Mexicanfor 3 hours to serve chips and salsa in a sombrero for my fantasy football draft this august!

i was so giddy speaking to the mexicanon the phone. i was expecting him to have a mexican name , something cute like "Pedro or Jose" (his name is Craig) and sound like a cartoon character(Speedy Gonzales. he sounded normal. ...he'll actually understand what's going on.

i feel like i own a mexicanfor 3 hours. this isn't like mexican catering at my bachelor party, where the mexicanwas there for a particular reason. it's really up in the air this time. anything goes. i think i want my mexican to ride a tricycle in my house.

fwiw, i think a mexican riding a tricycle in my house would also be fun.

I'm starting to understand DD's opinion on the pathetic unintentional comedy of the whole thing. It's makes me feel better about myself, and a positive self-image is healthy.

As a Southerner, I find this more offensive than renting a midget.

If hiring a midget for your stupid fantasy football party is considered "big" in your life. You are a pathetic piece of crap.

i didn't just throw out "cock of the walk" cuz it sounded snazzy. it's actually rather appropriate for some of the negative dudes in this thread:

i will not divulge the goings on in my life with this bad community anymore. long story short, just days before my draft i called up the midget and offhandedly asked him how tall (or in his case - short) he was, and he said he was 4'9". my friend's girlfriend is 5 feet (with heels on). the legal description of a midget is anyone who is 4'9" or shorter, so he technically was a midget. i needed someone in the area of 3 feet or less, and i decided that he didn't fit my criteria so i relieved him of his duties.

you people are bad luck. for now on i will tell you after the fact, not before. you guys jinxed my Super Bowl Siamese Fighting Fish Tournament, too.

That's rather depressing that he would represent himself like a midget, and instead just be the height of a 5th grader. Maybe next year.

Funniest part is "August 23th"

[Anthony]

i got the call too late (today) that this year's draft would be in my place. i didn't have enough time to make proper preparations, nor enough funds to make it truly special.

i am disgusted that the midget i was going to use (the subject of this thread originally) was only 4'9". imagine being too small to be considered a normal human, but too tall to be a traditional midget? what a waste. i would kill myself.

anyway, that year's draft had the possibility, nay, the certainty, of being my league's greatest draft ever. 4 foot fucking 9. you can't even join the carnival at that height.

[Anthony]

this year is going to be the worst. the draft is 2 days away (24th) and we're still scrambling to find a 10th owner in our money league. aaaargh, damn us lazy people. we really are starting to get old now, this would never be allowed/acceptible year's before. we all look forward to this one day every year. Father Time and Real Life Obligations dance their twisted tango yet again.

if anyone has enough scrotum there's a 10th team open. if you find yourself in the suburbs of NYC in sunny Nassau, Long Island on sunday and have $160 burning a hole in your pocket (and you are preferrably a midget) then come on over.

You should have cut off his head. That would have shaved off a good 13 or 14 inches. And, think about it. A headless midget. People would pay to see that sh!t.

I hear you. It started out a few years after college by solely being nights that my buddies couldn't go out and get hammered, then they started to be unable to make weekend events more than once a month (unless you also had kids and considered sitting around their house watching kids run around hanging out), then my friends started to pull out of watching big sporting events (even the super bowl wihen it didn't have a place for kids), now they are dropping from fantasy drafts.

Two of my closest friends have to call in their picks to my draft because we are going to a Mizzou/Illinois football game the day before and their wives won't let them go out two days in a row. They see their kids 5 days a week alomost every week and for the most part 7 days a week and they can't go to two big men things? A friend asked if he could bring his wife and kids to the draft a few years ago and pretty much was aksed to either quit the league or not ask stupid shit like that again.

A friend asked if he could bring his wife and kids to the draft a few years ago and pretty much was aksed to either quit the league or not ask stupid shit like that again.

i hear that. is the world going to end if a guy who has a family needs to do guy things 2 days in a row once in a blue moon? when you get married you understand that some things aren't worth fighting for, but for something like that i would have an arguement over. i have a very simple formula for things like this: is the amount of fun i'm going to have more than the grief i would get over having an arguement over that event. if i don't think i'm going to have the time of my life over something i know my wife wouldn't like then i don't even bother bringing it up to her. note i said "bring it up to her" and not "ask her". i had to ask my mother for permission to go out, and that was (unfortunately) a long time ago. i don't ask. i bring things up in a sort of "if you have any objections, now is the time to voice them" conversation. my wife is also my own personal blackberry, she remembers all our upcoming events and important dates, so i bring things up to her also to confirm if there's something coming up that i'm not aware of. but i'll be damned if i have to ask my wife for permission to do somthing. i would say "either i tell you the truth about my plans or i'll make up a lie and say it's work related - either way i'm going to do what i want, its just better if i can be upfront and honest about it". again, i'd only pull out that card if it was for something i really wanted to do.

keep in mind i don't hang out as much as i used to. i go out with my friends maybe once a month, 2 times tops if its a busy month. i hold up my end of the bargain as far as being a husband and dad, my wife isn't a ballbuster. she knows if i want to do something its cuz it means a lot to me (in light of the fact that i don't go out that much anymore). fortunately she has a lot of friends so the pendulum swings both ways. its much better to be honest and upfront, it shows respect and its much easier than having to play a charade and lie about something.

[path12]

my wife is also my own personal blackberry, she remembers all our upcoming events and important dates, so i bring things up to her also to confirm if there's something coming up that i'm not aware of.

You tell her you will stop enjoying his posts. She sees in your eyes the lies and gives you a look. You then say his post are entertaining and she says she has posts to prove otherwise. That is when I leave, failing to leave earlier made it tough going home through the heavy bushes but the stars in the bright sky helped and there was a good trail straight to my house for some reason.

I'm usually on a pretty long leash but I don't have time to go out anyways. Although a few weeks ago I did attend a raging kegger and it was flat out amazing. Most of the people I work with are in the 21-25 range, so on the rare occasion I do go out I have a ton of fun. I lived in a pretty big bubble when I was younger, so I didn't really get to go to any 21st birthday parties. I definitely feel like i missed out.

Anyways, we're struggling to find the 8th member of our league for a draft tomorrow. It's just really weird that nobody I know in real life is into football as much as most of us here are.
