Do you have to buy mic stands in the kid's section?
Anybody out there ever seen the band "Dashboard Confessional" on TV? The lead singer is just the cutest thing ever. He's like a dark and moody front-man - only 1/3 the size. I swear I don't even know how he lifts the guitar. All those teenage girls who follow him around like puppies can seriously fit a life-sized model of him in their lockers.

So. all right. You've proven yourself to be a raging heterosexual.
But referring to another man as "the cutest thing ever".
Raising eyebrows, Mr. Jim. Not mine, mind you. But somewhere out there.

time to put the parental control block on the Bravo channel at your place... no more QEFTSG for you... even Carson & Kyan would agree.

West Coast Jimbo has become 'more senstitive'.

Why are you making fun of someone's physical appearence?

GREAT comment don. you actually made me reconsider my post.
however, i think it's important to differentiate between ribbing and ridicule. there is a big difference between commenting on my observation that he is short - even if it is in a jocular way - and putting him down BECAUSE he is short.
thanks again. i have no desire to turn this blog into a piece of politically correct crappola. but i also don't want to be a dick either.

5'5" isn't THAT short. I'm only 4'10"

I saw Dashboard Confessional live.
He was sitting on a stool so I couldn't tell how tall he was.
After the show he stood up, everyone was applauding and all I could think is "My God that man is short!" I felt like I was the only one that noticed.
Related note: I am going to see Ani DiFranco in a couple months and at 5'0" she actually is hidden by her guitar.

Hehehehehe...I like to take heart, knowing that "the cutest thing ever" is perfectly size-compatible with 4'11" Alayna....*laughs*
