  • A Question About Dwarves, and What Constitutes Dwarfdom.

    It has recently come to my attention that I've unknowingly been hobnobbing with a dwarf (by my estimation, it's a dwarf).

    What do you think constitutes a dwarf?
    What are your feelings about dwarves?
    I mean sure, they have feelings, I suppose.
    Having acknowledged that fact, if you are less than positive about, well, vertically challenged, be kind.

    I don't want this to turn into a dwarf pep ralley, particularly though; so if you are a dwarf fan, try to hold it down to a dull roar.

    So what's a dwarf and how do you feel?
    Too many options for a poll.

    Excellent topic.

    I think anyone under, say, 4'7" would constitute a dwarf.

        I draw a hard line. 5' to clear the bar, and that's a reach.

          My sister is annoyed at people who come up (including a quite pushy little person) and call her a midget/etc. I think that offcially she is one (according to the midget society), she is a bit under 5'.

            I was the shortest kid in my class all through school until about Grade 11.

            5'10" now.

              You'd let them drink.

                Get over it Sloww. The rest of us don't really look down on you, we just have to look at the ground to spot you.

                  How about another CanPol thread NYE? It's been awhile.

                    We could claim this thread. In the name of the GG, of course.

                      Oh there you go, bringing the Monarchy into it.

                      How tall is the Queen?

                        Can you translate this to anything close to the language of making sense?
                        I didn't think so. Never mind.

                        b etor is a dwarf, BTW.

                            Pretty tall when sitting on the horse reviewing the guard.

                            Pretty short other than that.

                            Most likely taller than Sloww in any case.

                              Texas could use a short Queen I think.
