Re: Re: Weekend Drunk Thread, 5/17 I am 6'7, ducking has become so much a part of my day to day that I don't even notice it anymore, I have hit my head more times than I care to remember. Flying coach? If it's more than 2 hours I won't do it, those seats are hell. Taller counters would be fucking awesome, my back hurts after washing the dishes, if I ever build a house counters are gonna be raised.
It does seem like 6' and above is the average on this board. Do we have any lillipution men? What about it guys? Any 5'11" shrimpy type guys?
Fuck you. I'm 5'11. So what, you 6 foot fuckers think you're just the talk of the town. Well I get an erection and point my dick down, to stand on it, I'm taller than all of you.
I have never met a guy who shaves his chest hair. I like having a hairy chest; most girls are into it. I also look way cooler with my collar opened than hairless girly men. I should probably get a gold star of david necklace or something to fully rock my Jew. Unless you're freakishly tall, like the 6'7 monsters, complaining about being tall and things not fitting you sounds pretty ridiculous. I'm 6'1, so maybe I just don't get it, but I definitely wouldn't mind being a couple inches taller.
I can never find pants that fit well. Either they're to short ot way to damn wide. And my back is all shorts of fucked up from wrestling so having to bend for long periods of time to cook or wash dishes sucks. Unless I was in the nba being 6'7" sounds like it would be hell. Weird question, have any of you guys above six feet noticed that a good deal of your friends tend to be tall as well? I have lived all over and have noticed that most of the people I hand out with are usually over six feet. For example a buddy of mine always jokes that he is 6'2" 250lbs and is often the little guy when our group hangs out. (We have a buddy who is 5'10" but he is part of our groups affermative action campaign.)
He's still above average height. I think I'm the shortest guy on the board, and I'm not even that short, but god damn, you people are huge.
I'm 6'2" and I slouch all the time. I don't have issues with airplane seats or anything like that. I would absolutely hate to be any taller, though. I feel like 6'2 is kinda perfect.
I'm 5'4". Almost every single one of you people would give me a stiff neck if we carried on a conversation for a prolonged period of time.
From what I remember, Crown is of the wee folk. I'm almost dead-average at just over 5'10". I've always said that 6'2" or 6'3" was the optimal height. You get all the "oh he's tall" points without it becoming a freakish disability.
My mom is just shy of 5'- I'm glad I didn't get her height genes like my three siblings did. My dad is 6' so I got lucky there.
I'm the tallest one in my family, coming in at 6'2", with my cousin just behind me at an even 6'0". I'm definitely happy with my height but sometimes the slouching and low back stuff can get to me, especially when flying. I couldn't imagine being an extra six or seven inches taller, that would cross the line from being a good height to just fucking troublesome for day to day life.
I'm 5'11", so I guess you can count me as one of the shorties on the board. I wouldn't mind being a little taller, maybe 6'1" or 6'2" but for the most part I'm fine with my hight. Interesting side note, Bill Laimbeer used to come in to our restaurant quite often when he was in town. It was the first time I really realized how tough it is for people in this world who are extremely tall. He would have to duck to get through every doorway, but what really blew my mind was when he would sit down. He would be slouched, like some of you have already described, and with his feet flat on the floor his knees would be hitting the underside of the table. Thats just got to suck, never being able to just eat dinner comfortably.
So jägerette just announced that the neighbors are "getting a big digger delivered". Change 1 letter in that and it would be a conversation from the 19th century south.
I'm 6'3 and my three brothers are all around that height as is Dad, Mum and my sister are around 5'4 so thankfully I didn't end up with that height. I'll also jump on the stuff in the kitchen bandwagon, dishes and cooking for prolonged periods of time are fucking murder on my lower back.
At a towering 5'10" I am the tallest in my bloodline. We should change the tagline of this board to "Do You Need Something Off That Shelf?"
Finally get to barbecue today after 48 straight hours of outside work. Gonna make effinshenanigans' burger recipe for everyone, then once again piss them off by refusing to give out said recipe.
The Husband is 6'2" and it's perfect. He's almost a foot taller than me, and it's not weird. After that it gets odd. This weekend I'm celebrating my birthday by doing nothing. It isn't a terrible thing.
I'm 6'0" which is no big deal, but Mrs. Noland is just a shade taller than that. Apparently it is a cast iron bitch to find pants in her size. Oddly enough I am shorter by a few inches than any person she ever dated. She had a rule before I came along. Any of you freakishly tall people have height requirements?
