(Reuters - Houston) Half-pint Houston City Councilman Joe Roach expressed displeasure upon learning that he had been referred to as a "midget" by Lenoria Walker, head of the city's affirmative-action contract and compliance division, at a conference of the National Association of Black Mayors in New Orleans last week.
When informed of the remark, the spritely, mischievous Republican representative, who is a dwarf, reportedly scowled, stomped around, and waved his little arms comically.
Roach, who along with several full-sized council members has voiced opposition to the city's present affirmative-action program, is not personally calling for Walker's resignation, but he did state that it was a decision for Mayor Lee Brown to make.
When intrepid Nunnery reporters attempted to call Mayor Brown for a comment, they were surprised to note that the little red phone on the tray councilman Roach was carrying began to ring.

I'll never forgive Roach for having me arrested after spending a drunken St Patricks day hitting him with a stun gun demanding that he show me where he hid his pot of gold...
...I'm sorry its like a black cat on Halloween...he should know there are some nights it best to just stay home....

Fun Factoid You Probably Don't Care About: Joey Roach was a grade ahead of me in high school. We went to Clear Lake.
Don't you see??
If ONLY I hadn't been let back a grade, *I* could have been the dwarf!

The woman, Lenoria Walker, has resigned under pressure from a vocal dwarf SIG.

You would think in a city as rich as Houston we could afford to get a proper midget and not some uppedy dwarf...
...Ralph did you ever toss Roach across the cafeteria before classes?

Hmmm... looks kinda like the "bit part" (pun not intended this time!) he (or an amazing look-a-like) had in Rocky Horror Picture Show, check it out during Tim Curry's "Sweet Transvestite" song... or was it during "In Just 7 Days I Can Make You a Man"?

Heya, welcome back, Sprite!
So now they're looking to fill the position of the City of Houston's Affirmative Action Director (or whatever title they've given it).
I'm thinking of applying for it. My contract at my current job is up in early June.

Kinda reminds me of spontaneous gothic combustion (or "What do you get if you give an altoid to someone smoking a clove while drinking a vodka sour?").
You should try this on someone sometime, the expression is incredible right before they go up.

Though sometimes capable of paradox defying feats of bi-location, Mycroft currently resides in Houston. You might be thinking of one of his time-traveling selves that pop up on occasion. It must be kinda depressing to realize that at sometime in the future you develop a time machine, and the only thing you can think of to do is go to Numbers in the 90's.

In the back? Not hooked up? I have a happy home for your little video game system, Mycroft. It can sit right next to my Atari 2400 and my Comodore 64, both of which still work, so I can assure you that your system will be in good hands... of course I won't ask you to look at my ColecoVision...

Now come on, there weren't no 1972 TV video games. I woulda known. I *do* remember the ones where you had to glue a plastic template of a crude pong court onto your TV screen, though.
I even remember one that had a "Hangman" game, a friend of mine had it, and we were playing it upstairs on the TV in his room, and I think I typed in the word "masterbait" (sic) and suddenly we could hear howls of laughter coming from downstairs. Seems the RF shielding wasn't very good on those early games, and they were watching channel 3 downstairs....
