MIDGETS

I preferred the full sized MGB. At one point they were badged as the Austin Healey Sprite and the MG Midget, though I preferred the earlier bug-eyed Sprite (frog-eyed in the UK) before it was a shared body. You still see them on the roads very occasionally.

Not enough of them!

I wish we could still call them dwarves. Is it politically correct to toss them?

they scare me. I am afraid my calves will be chewed off

Oh you mean little people. I thought this was one of DL's infrequent car threads. Just replaced the gas pump in my TR3 and wasn't thinking of anything other than British sports cars. Carry on.

I present to you Werner Herzog's monkey crucifying masterpiece, Even Dwarfs Started Small:

They're creepy.

I present to you Anita Ekberg's foray into the genre of opera singer - cubicle dwarf - child acrobat forbidden love triangle, The Red Dwarf:

I present to you the first and only all dwarf Western, The Terror of Tiny Town:

I worked with a midget at a chemist when I was in Uni. she refused to help people, would disappear for ages and didn't want to work at cash. I remember her answering the phone with weird accents like spanish, american and chinese.

Don't offer them shrimp!

THEY "ARE" FABULOUS LOVERS!!

[quote] would disappear for ages

R10, perhaps she was lying low beneath the counters and you thus didn’t notice her.

Beware of the dwarf!

Do I count ?

I feel that as a rule, they are rather short.

There's a cute dude on Growlr that's like 4' tall maximum, and has an 8" cock. I'd fuck him. Or let him fuck me.

OP, why did you capitalize every letter in “midgets”? Are you trying to compensate for some shortcoming?

Integral to the plot of MGM's once-banned Freaks (1932).

Midget isn't a synonym for dwarf.

Also integral to the 1969's Palm d'Or winner, The Tin Drum. Which later won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980.

Please note: I can guarantee this is not going to be a PC representation of little people--or life in general. Those with triggers bewarned.

Here's said hot dwarf, with a 8.5" cock

I was attacked by a swarm of midgets while viewing the lovely Cliffs of Moher in Ireland ( midgets = the insects not the little people).

Whats Duck Duck Go?

What’s Duck Duck Go?

Do Japanese count ?

Toulouse Lautrec is one of my favorite artists.

Japs

I know its not politically correct but they creep me out. Especially those midget reality shows with all those midget fish.

They're unpleasant people

I would love one in every color.

R24 R25, it's an extension I use for Chrome that takes...well....I don't totally understand it. But then I don't totally understand the internet or biochemistry and stuff still works.....

DDG's supposed to be a search engine I use instead of Google that prevents Big Google from tracking and harvesting my data. But I don't know why my links posted today reference it. I just went into the images section of the search engine and those came up for my searches.

But I really like the idea of an alternative to passive observation by the powers that be, particularly for their profit.

Keep your underwear out of the big pile, Blanche. He was my pal Wallingford long before you thought Betty White hired him to teach you a lesson.

Duck Duck Go apparently has some sort of Russian ties.

Seriously, R34, or is this the calling-everybody-a-Russian-troll routine?

I've been trying to find a email version of duck duck go, too.

Whatever happened to that burlesque little person on Margaret Cho's reality show? Wasn't there some threesome thing going on with them and her husband?

[quote] Whatever happened to that burlesque little person on Margaret Cho's reality show?

He became a Master of the Ass!

Actually, it was a female midget with Margaret Cho.

Midgets. Taste great, less filling.

" OMG, OMG, I can't look at his tiny hands !!! "

Has anyone ever had sex with one and looked at the wiener up close? Is it small? Is it thick? It is misshapen?

FUCK YOU ALL! You hate mongering gigantics.

It's not PC to call them midgets. In the US they prefer Little People or LPs, though in the UK it's okay to call them dwarves or LPs. I don't believe they like the word dwarves in the US. An analogy might be, calling them midgets is as offensive as referring to gays as f***ots, pretty much all of them prefer to be called LPs (gay), some like dwarf (queer).

I don't have strong feelings about them as a group either way, although the most common form of dwarfism causes their heads and faces to have certain characteristics like an under developed mid-face area (from the brow to the upper lip) while the skull may be larger from fluid buildup and the chin/jaw tend to be more pronounced. It feels as if I'm looking at a funhouse mirror version of someone and my mind instinctively tries to imagine what they would have looked like facially if not for the dwarfism. My brief interest in the Little People Big World Roloff family series was mainly to see the average height kids and calculate which of their features came from which parent. As far as I know, that most common form of dwarfism effects the head and limbs but the trunk/torso and presumably the genitalia are more or less average size.

I did once work with a young woman who was absolutely terrified and repulsed by the sight of LPs (who she referred to as midgets). She'd never had a traumatic interaction with one or anything so it seemed to be a spontaneous phobia. She wanted to start a large family of her own and I asked her what she'd do if she had a baby who turned out to have dwarfism. She was so upset at the thought that she basically said she'd probably leave it at the hospital and abandon the child. You'd think that I'd asked her What would you do if you gave birth to an 8 lb spider? She couldn't register LPs as human.

I believe babies with dwarfism are born looking mostly the same as average height babies so even a person like my former coworker would probably have a few weeks to fall in love with the infant before it gradually began looking more markedly like a LP, at which point she'd be okay with it.

With genetic testing and high quality ultrasound technology these days, the LP community faces the existential threat of being selectively aborted out of existence. Similar to advances in Cochlear implant technology threatening the deaf community. Those who are born have less of a community to turn to for support and belonging.

[QUOTE]It's not PC to call them midgets. I

So true. I have some friends whose teenaged daughter is one. Anyway, one night I was at their home for a dinner and she wasn't present. After a few too many I stuck my head under the dinner table, I don't know why I did. Jane, the hostess suddenly screams, "Jesus, you're not throwing up are you ?"

Well that made me mad so I blurted out, "No, I was looking for Isabel, haven't seen her all evening..."

Can you believe that Jane started crying, got up and left the table and then Paul, her husband said that I better leave ? True. This was in November and we haven't spoken since.

Never met a gay one.

No big deal.

R22's big dick dwarf.

I make short shrift of them...

Most of the midgets I've slept with smelled like potato chips. I'm not sure why.

I'm with R29. The dwarves with normal voices and facial features don't bother me, but the ones with the huge foreheads and squeaky helium voices absolutely make my skin crawl (especially the males). If I ever came across one of the latter in real life, I'm not sure I'd be able to extensively interact with them; I know it's unfair but I can't help it.

Below is a cute and (possibly gay) example of what I mean when I say someone who's a dwarf yet has a normal voice and face.

LPs? Limited partnerships?

[quote] She'd never had a traumatic interaction with one or anything so it seemed to be a spontaneous phobia.

Perhaps she’d seen a Fellini film?

Fabulously stomach-turning responses

Do Americans pronounce “midget” in a faux-French fashion, as they do “target”? Is it “mih-jay” rather than “midge-et”?

Out of line of sight, out of mind.

[quote] Fabulously stomach-turning responses

Which ones and why?

I met several of the little people who played Munchkins in "The Wizard of Oz" and thought they were really sweet and just like other people.

R57 = Charlie Taylor

Do midgets have pubic hair?

They do frighten me in some fundamental way. They seem surreal.

I mask it, though, away from here.

When my dad's plane touched down in Sydney and he went to a nearby hotel in the dead of night hungry. He asked a midget where one could get a sandwich and that midget pulled out a knife and tried to stab him in the ankle. One my first day of school he told me to stay away from midgets and italians.

The number of different types of dwarfism is astounding.

One of the busiest character actors in Hollywood for 60 years was Antonio Moreno who was a staple in many horror movies, usually bit parts, but sometimes having speaking parts and more than a few scenes. Every time I see him, I instantly recognize him (of course from "Freaks", but a few Bela Lugosi B movies as well where he was a major supporting player), and am amazed by his tenacity.

[quote] he told me to stay away from midgets and italians.

Perhaps he’d seen a Fellini film?

R63 Sorry folks, that's Angelo Rossitto.

Of interest on Angelo Rossitto, quote on Bela Lugosi:

[on Bela Lugosi] Bela . . . once told me that he wanted me in all his pictures. And he gave [producer] Sam Katzman instructions to put me in them. Lugosi told me, "Angelo, you are my greatest free advertisement. When they see you, they've got to say to themselves, 'There's the little guy who works with the monster'" . . . Lugosi was a sweetheart of a guy and he loved me.

Thoughts on them? Not much.

R20 you are correct. Medically, a midget is a perfectly-formed person, who happens to be short, A drawf has distortion in the bones.

It's true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men. And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women, and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is, of course, ridiculous.

My friend has a son who is a dwarf. When she told me I said ‘is it okay to call him that?’ Apparently yes, that is the correct medical term for his condition.

I remember I was fucked with an arm from a guy who was missing a hand. I guess I would also be able to be fucked by a little person’s arm (hand) included with little difficulty. I wonder if there is a website I can go to and set up a profile with such a request.

God’s punch line

Angelo Rossitto is actually the father of Oscar, Tony, Grammy, and Emmy winner, Rita Moreno.

R73, EGOT for short.

R73 Ha ha

TLC network would go off the air without them.

Achondroplasia is the most common type of dwarfism. Peter Dinklage is an achon. I don't remember which type Warwick Davis has (known as the star of Willow and a featured actor who played two characters in the Potter films) but it's fairly rare.

The one and only type of dwarfism which genuinely unsettles me is primordial dwarfism. They're "true" dwarfs, I guess, because they're pretty much universally proportionally tiny all around so they have teensy heads and squeaky, very high pitched voices, and to my eye they look like strange animated dolls. They don't seem to put on much muscle or fat so they have thin little matchstick legs. They're very rare so I have only ever seen YouTube videos of them. Primordials definitely look like they could be a species you'd find in a Tolkien novel.

A good friend of mine in high school was a dwarf. She had a tough time of it--bright, dark sense of humor, but not very motivated to do much with her life. She'd get all sorts of weird reactions from people; coming up and patting her on the head, grabbing her arm and swinging it. She had a ratings systems for the weirdos as a way of coping with it.

Before I knew her, I thought how odd she looked, but I kind of forgot about it once I started talking to her.

I think little of them.

R77, I was going to mention those with primordial dwarfism. I remember the first time I saw one was on a TV show about an 8 year old Syrian girl with that condition. She was so doll like, and she passed away a few months after the program aired.

I've enjoyed watching the show, "Little People, Big World" since the beginning. There are so many challenges that these people face on a daily basis. You can modify your home, but there will still be issues when you go out in public. For example, the tall counters at banks, using a toilet in a public restroom, then reaching the sinks to wash your hands. Not to mention that half the items in a store will be out of your reach. While walking, you have to take twice as many steps as other people do.

Then on top of that, when you're out in public, people will stare at you and even act like assholes, bullying you or trying to embarrass you.

On the show Little People Big World, Zachary told a funny story about how when he's in public, toddlers will sometimes approach him from behind because they recognize he's the same size. Then when he turns around, a look of confusion crosses the toddler's face.

Here's a cute Latino guy.

yummy!!!!!!!

Here's a little man showing off his hole and rubbing one out.

There’s you... there’s Giorgio...

I love you R85.

Do gay midgets exist? I've never seen or heard of one.

“I like to hold a midget.” -Dough Boy

Patti H, my best friend in the 3rd. grade, was diminutive. She was nice.

Hearst?

Wish there was video of this little dude

They are God-given entertainment

My thoughts are that they prefer to be called "little people" and that "midget" is an archaic, offensive and stupid term.

I wonder if somewhere there's a midget named Gidget.

OP, as to your original question: I think very fondly of Katie Couric.

I seem to recall a Jerry Springer episode or two that featured midgets.

They prefer to be called "fun-sized."

I can't quantify this, but it seems like midgets are much more common in Europe than they are in the USA. You see them out and about on a regular basis in almost every large European city, especially Germany for some reason. Is it. a genetic thing or are they just more visible because they take advantage of better public transportation?

A threesome with two midgets would be hot. But they'd have to wipe their asses first,

My biggest fantasy is to get double-creampied by two hung midgets.

Their arms are too short to reach their ass, r99.

[quote] midgets = the insects not the little people

Do you mean midges, you idiot?

R61, your story makes zero sense. I think you left something out.

Cuties

There just aren't enough nude photos on the internet of midget men.

Drawfs have human sized hands feet, heads etc and distored limbs and torsos - Little people (aka midgets) are people under 4'9"

[quote]Drawfs have human sized hands feet, heads etc and distored limbs and torsos

And the penis R105?

Sometimes huge, r106. There have been a couple of dwarf porn stars, one straight and one gay.

I feel like they get short shrift around DL.

Midget porn can be hot if the guy is good looking, his height notwithstanding. Sadly there's very little gay porn involving midgets.

They used to hire dwarfs at Disneyland. The dwarfs were about the only body shape that looked right inside the Donald Duck costume,, but I always felt sorry for them. Not only did the costumes beat them up physically, their health suffered as they got older. The main Donald at Disneyland retired for health reasons when he was maybe 40, tops, and the last time I ran into him he was on something like his 8th major back operation and was just a wreck.

The original Mickey was a midget, a mean old son of a bitch named Paul Castle, and Walt hired him personally so he was untouchable. He'd sit backstage with his head off smoking a giant cigar, and when he went back out into the park you could smell that fucking cigar 10 feet away.

The Rico Enano at r82 is hot as fuck.

I'm club fucking footed, ya asswipe!!!

R105 and "HungDwarf" on Growlr has an 8.5" cock, though he's all of 4' tall. Damn.

Back in 1999 ca. I was in The Works on the Upper West Side and this little person(drunk) was standing right in front of me. Then he grabbed my leg and wouldn't leg go. I think he was HOT in the pants for me. It was kinda sad.

I was genuinely afraid of little people when I was young. I would cry in a supermarket of I saw one. My mother would always be mortified and embarrassed.

Now, I get the occasional itch to watch some gay little people porn, but never seem to find any.

r112 god rest his evil little manipulative soul.
