Can we have a story about Pagulayan without the "Diminutive" qualifier?!?

Why must every story about Pagulayan have "diminutive" in front of his name? The diminutive Pagulayan this... The diminutive Pagulayan that... The diminutive Pagulayan had eggs and bacon for breakfast...

Please! We get it that he's short. There are other adjectives we can use:
Masterful, talented, wiley, funny, cordial, etc...

It's like the need to describe every majority as "vast". It's almost a pavlovian instinct with writers and Pagulayan.

OK, I'm off my rant now. If you'd like to add additional adjectives that may be used to describe Pagulayan, I will provide them to all the billiard publications so they may be considered in the future.
Cheers,
Steve (in full disclosure, a short person as well, but who'd like to see diminutive boycotted for future references to Pagulayan, since we got the point by now....)
 
just no story about Alex beating Shane please. If that happens uwate's bankroll will be preceeded by the word "diminutive".

Hey at least we don't hear "Killer Pixie" anymore.

How about the colorful Alex Pagulayan, Mr. Personality Plus! :)

You don't know where it's from!

Pool players of Pagulayan's stature are in 'short' supply. Yet there are those who think 'little' of him.
 
Hey

Hey you, Beetle, quit being a dick. That word 'diminutive' is a pretty sweet word. It's a better word than 'beetle'.

Who are you asswipe? It was a lighthearted thread, but clearly touched a nerve with you. Get a thesaurus next time...
 
IMO, I do feel that the diminutive word is somewhat diminishing. even midgets get upset when you call the midgies !
 
when I think of the term diminutive, I picture an English person looking down their nose while saying it!? weird.

anyway, Alex is an action magnet, and something IS going to happen when hes around. I'm not gonna come up with any new adjectives...I"m 5'6" so I can't compete!:D
 
this thread is a little interesting, in short I would like to say Alex wins matches in no small way. His opponents shrink when he steps up to the table, and they win only a tiny fraction of the time.

ARGGHHHHHHUULLUHH..... Hell yes, do you know Little Alex

Alex Pagulayan is so little he once entered into a cage match with Stuart Little

Alex's favorite book is Little Women


EDIT: Damn, I almost forgot his favorite song. Tiny Dancer

Well, Alex winning yeterday was no small feat (even though he does HAVE small feet), but in Beetle's honor I stood BEHIND him in this picture to make him appear larger....:)
