Oooh multi threaded comment.
I don't know what it is, but I am five foot five and I still scare people, so far, just wearing troosers. JohnAllen has seen me in person, maybe he can figure out why... I am really a very nice guy, honest!! Perhaps I have Short Angry Man Syndrome. Mayhap it's the beard. And now the dreads. People move away from me when I walk. My wife, and her sisters use me during the holidays to clear a path in crowded malls. I just stand there and bellow "MOVE!" and folk do. Do I need another Altoid, or is it really just how I look? Of course, I am five foot five and weigh a startling 250 pounds. I am big boned, honest.  I am not that fat really. Just stout. 46 inch waist, 58 inch chest, and a 28 inch neck. Very big bones. Large bones. And arms like an ape. Low sloping forehead. Lantern jawed. Did I ever mention that I had a modeling career? I was the fifth one over on the process of evolution charts... At least my knuckles don't drag when I walk, I have oposeable thumbs, and walk upright.
As far as cultural names, I don't mind being called Indian, so long as it's said with a respectful tone. It's not what you say, it's HOW you say it. Well, for the most part. No racial slurs of course. I am Lakota and Yakima, and I very much like those as titles. I am also Scottish, Sicilian, my dad was Cuban, and there is some Creole, Asian, and other bits as well. I am human.

You have no idea how many times I have been called that by close friends. Sheesh. Pick on the short guy.
Gonna have to post some pics soon. I have a disposeable camera. Need to finish it off when my kilt arrives. Pics will be posted soon.
My wife calls me Shrek.
