The REAL Übermidget
I am, as the esteemed Ed Anger might have it, madder than a pantsless monkey.
Someone has appropriated the name Übermidget for their line of anime-inspired “art.”
As you can imagine, I find this vexing, having coined the term Übermidget as far back as 1999. That’s last century, if you’re keeping track.
Now, you might say, “Todd, isn’t it possible that someone else thought of the word ‘Übermidget’ independently?” No. Nope, it is just not possible. The word originated online with me. A simple search engine query, which doubtless would have turned up this very site, would have sufficed to clear up any doubts that any other would-be Übermidgets might have.
For many years, this was the sole Übermidget on the Web. You couldn’t do a search for the word without turning up this site and this site only. Granted, the site was dormant for a number of years, but it was always online in the interim. Somewhere between then and now, it came to pass that a Google search for “Ubermidget” began to turn up countless hits for that other Übermidget.
Let it be known that this is the only Übermidget that need concern you. You want quality, you come here. You want something else…you go to those other places. Hey, go tittup around dressed as an elf for all I care.
Remember, this Übermidget is, and always has been, a humor site that is free of ads and any attempts at commerce. I’m not trying to sell you plush dolls of Nintendo characters. Unlike some other people I could name.
This is the REAL Übermidget. Wasting your precious time since 1999.
1999, people.
