Dwarf Olympics!

WARNING!!! THIS BLOG ENTRY IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT. IF YOU ARE A DWARF, YOU MIGHT BE OFFENDED. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!



So, I'm short right...4 feet and 9 1/2 inches standing up right with no shoes. To be considered handicapped in America, you need to be 4 feet 8 inches or shorter. So, I'm pretty close to being considered handicapped in America.

I was thinking again...I know, watch out, I could hurt myself doing that--- well, I was thinking that I should try again for the Dwarf Olympics. Why, you ask?? Why not, I say!!?? I'm special, right??? And, I'm too small to ever compete with average folks and do well. And, I'm sure I would beat the crap out of the dwarfs.

This is what the DAAA (Dwarf Athletic Association of American) web site said: "People eligible for competition are disproportionate dwarfs (usually those with a chondrodysplasia) that are less than or equal to five feet in height and proportionate dwarfs less than or equal to 4 foot 10 inches in height."

So, according to this, I am short enough to compete. But, the only problem is I'm not clubby and I don't have a chondrodysplasia. My appendages are not clubbed, and I'm normal...well, I'm not really normal, you should know that by now. And, in order to participate, they want you to send them copies of your x-rays showing your clubbiness or shortened appendages.

Oh well, better luck next time!
