Matt ~

"Hank" is actually called Schlitze. I thought that you'd like to know a bit more about this person who's picture you are displaying in your signature.

Schlitze (real name Simon Metz) was born in Yucatan, Mexico during the 1880's and had a sister who also suffered from microcephaly. Despite being male, Schlitze wore dresses to simplify his toilet needs, but he was unusually intelligent for a microcephaly sufferer and could sing a few notes, dance a few steps and even count to ten. It was said that Schlitze loved hats, new dresses, bits of string, games and Freaks director Tod Browning, even to the point of imitating the tone of his voice.

Up until a tour of St. Louis, Schlitze was billed as "Maggie, the last of the Aztecs", but then a well known beer company gave him the name of Schlitze. Schlitze with Rochelle Hudson and Chester Morris in Meet Boston Blackie (1941)

His nature was of a fun loving and extremely affectionate child and also expressed a liking for young Jackie Cooper, much to the actor's terror.

Schlitze also appeared briefly in a carnival scene of Columbia's MEET BOSTON BLACKIE (1941) with Chester Morris.

After 30 years of exhibition, Schlitze's owner and manager died forcing him into an institution where the attendants never had the time to provide him with the attention he craved. Sam Alexander, a Canadian promoter, found Schlitze literally dying of lonliness. Alexander persuaded the authorities to place Schlitze in his care and he took him on the road.

Schlitze died in California during 1961 at the age of 80, an unusually long life for a microcephile.

If I remember rightly, Matt, both myself and others have had to bring to your attention your use of the word "retard" in an offensive manner before aswell. I really hope you can be a bit more respectful regarding people with learning and physical disabilities in the future. :)

You have been researching me quite a bit, mags. I am flattered. Although, I do think you should focus all that energy elsewhere, because im harmless. :luv:

matt I still dont understand how people get offended with your signature. It could be that it's like promoting the mentally challenged. Whats wrong with seeing someone happy. If they dont like it, then they are the ones being prejudice.

I was born in Quebec, I am a little sad we moved to Alberta before I had a chance to be fluent in french. I took french in school here, but when you don't use it, you lose it.

I took one Spanish course, it was a fun course. Basic travel stuff- ordering food, asking how much things are, etc.

Matt, I dunno but don't see anything wrong with that signature, I think the laughter is quite contagious. But other people seem to be quite sensitive. There are colours for all tastes y'know...

I am listening to this song on a Fox TV show "Bad boy bad boy whatcha gonna do when they come for you" :whistle:

Neither do i man. It kind of hurts me that some people think that i am some sort of heartless animal for showing this in my siggy. I may need to put a pic up of me mowing an old ladys lawn, to show my good will.
