Just overheard in a housemate's phone conversation:

He's a midget, and his sister's coming, so maybe I'll just run to the store and get some rug cleaner!

That's both offensive and gross. I just have no idea why.

The sense of the statement depends on a suppressed stereotyping of midgets. There's also a hint of a height joke.

Vis-à-vis groznosity: Well, I can't think of anything ungross a rug cleaner is applied to. Or is it that you're sickened by midgets? No? Then probs sister visits nauseate you. Yes! I guess I can't be mad at you for never visiting.

P.S. Sweet icon. Something there is that generates the MST silhouette against any image?
P.P.S. It was nice of Angie to think about thinking about the proof for me.

That they sleep with their kinfolk?

Could be. I stole the icon from somewhere. From _we_steal_icons, most likely. (I love that comm name. So fucking candid.)

You might say they put the "Kin" in Kinsey. Or perhaps the "urine" in the carpet. Who knows.
