I smell a new thread coming on... "Why my Viking fetish is better than your midget fetish" We can also derail it with talk of hot girls on Star Trek TOS and leg/butt men vs. breast men... LOL Later! OL JR

Even "Reader's Digest" has printed humorous exchanges between Amish people and "English" (the Amish's term for non-Amish people) tourists. One that I recall concerned a tourist who was browsing in an Amish craft shop. The Amish woman behind the counter said to her: "Thee do not fear animals? My husband is hitching up our old mule outside, and she can be a willful beast." The woman tourist related the following account of what she heard outside: "Get thee up, Melissa! Get thee up! I shan't beat thy rump if thou dost not get up, but I shall twist thy tail!"

Seriously, when the kit was named (~45 year ago) I'm sure no one ever thought that name was insulting. I try to view things like this in their original contexts. For example, I'm not turned off by the stars and bars. I don't see it as a racist statement. I guess what I'm saying is that we're only offended by those things which we are conditioned to be offended by. Anyway, if Estes brought it back, they would surely need to "modernize" the name to make it more PC, but what would they name it? Little Deuce? Diminutive Deuce? For sure, Little People is awkward sounding. Little Man? Squatty? Skwatter? Doug .

Rockets?!? I wasn't talking about rockets. I was talking about your fetish for midgets, errr, little people.
