    Good for her. But I'd like to suggest that perhaps the problem with her modeling career has less to do with being short and more to do with being quite plain looking. (Martha Plimpton faced the same issues when she tried modelling in the late 80s.) I wouldn't normally say this, but I feel it is OK to say when addressing the subject of aspiring models.

    As a nebbishy man who stands a towering 5'4", when it comes to Jim Goldman, I would totally hit that.


    First, I'd hit that in the face. Then, I'd hit that in the face again. Then, I'd follow up with a couple of body blows before tackling him to the ground.

    Which Eastern European dictator-run brain washing TV station had that sign language person in the corner who sabotaged it by signing "lies, lies" or something?


    Can you even imagine something like that happening in this here "free" country?

    OK, now that helped me overcome any feelings of wasted time resentment after reading this...


    The next cracker jack who calls me shrimp (5'6") is going to get a serious lesson. That is Lilliputian to you and me, buddy.

    The sublime commenter outrage makes these horrible posts - and good God are they ever horrible - worth it for me. And I may even find myself disappointed when Owen gets himself fired for throwing Gabriel off a cliff, because I do so love it when you all gang up.

    These sort of posts are happening enough that I think they merit their own terminology:


    Dickrolled: To be enticed to click on a post that seems about a real story but is actually a random collection of insults, allegations and conspiracy theories that cause the reader to say "what a ....". Inspired by "rickroll."
