  • "This article is a FAKE" is the first thing on the page...
  • ARRRRRRRGGGGG! What happened to the rest of my post?!?!?!!? I had to run out to answer the phone and it disappeared. I had some of my usual hilarious asides about fakes that segued into my famous multi-links: Culture comes to Boise Culture at the museum Head to Club Paris for your culture They teach culture? Download culture Wear the T-shirt I'm so sorry, boys. GramMa baked this post with you in mind. Somebody's gonna pay, dammit!! *grinds dentures* *shakes cane midget*
  • damn, i like yer boots, GramMa.... HAWT!
  • What about midget lions? Are they fake, too?
  • I submit that, while the Midgets vs. Lion story may not be factually true, it achieves the level of Herzog's Ecstatic Truth. To wit: I've always postulated, not just in documentaries but in my feature films as well, that reality is a superficial layer and what we should be looking out for is a deep strata of truth. I've always been after what I call an ecstatic truth... The background to all of this is that there is a very real necessity for redefining reality. Therefore, the Midgets vs. Lion story, for me, is ECSTATICALLY TRUE. And I'll fight anyone who says otherwise--man, machine, beast, or chicken.
  • the Werzog would easily handle all 42 midgets, and then take tea with the lion.
  • This is old, but always bar-friendly, news, and if you're the betting sort, it opens up so many possibilities including the great Battle of the Bands.
  • Hey, ho! Who woulda thought that 42 midgets supposedly fighting a lion could bring a lurker out from the bowels of the filter? Welcome...
  • ...Battle of the Bands... How about bat-biting Ozzie Osbourne versus the alleged lion? Or Def Leppard versus a deaf leopard? Welcome Heyho ("Heyho... who he?")
  • Heyho! I am honored, good Monkey, that you delurk to post in my botched up post. GramMa sez come in, have some midget cookies petit fours.
  • Thanks for the Snopes link, Hank. I first heard about this on the Ricky Gervais show. ("I didn't even know there was a Cambodian Midget Fighting League." "You're an ignoramus.") Because Steve had brought it in, rather than Carl, I assumed -- horrified -- that it was true. What a relief to find that it never happened. Ooooh, Chimpanzee that -- Fake midget news!
