Tall, Short, Average? - Page 4

Interesting. And yet my kids consume milk like they breathe and are short-arses!

footfootfoot · 11-29-2010, 08:02 PM

Then imagine how tiny they'd be without all the milk; infinitesimal.

monster · 11-29-2010, 08:02 PM

could wear doll clothes, though. Mind you, real kid clothes are cheaper.

Note cellar username. I qualify as super tall.

6'4", 250#.

I love it. Yes, I have scars on my head. Yes, playing around on the bed last week earned me a bent ceiling fan blade. Yes, I can put the palms of my hands on the ceiling. Yes, I can bump my head on the lintels in my house if I rise up on my toes a bit. Yes, my feet hang over then end of my california king mattress. Normal inseam, approx 32", but I overcompensate in the torso, with matching forelimbs, complete with pavement scarred knuckles. My wingspan slightly exceeds my height. Back in the day, I was an excellent swimmer and had considerable advantages in water polo. I can always be found in the back row of all group pictures.

Like footfootfoot(footfootfoot), it is an uncommon surprise of looking up at other people in conversation. This also makes me wonder if shorter people have a similar experience (Wow. That guy is tall.) when speaking to me.

I hate it when beest "hides" things on top of the fridge. It's a safe place in plain sight to him (he's 6'2", I'm 5'4")

My husband does that, too, monster, but he is only 6'1" and I am 5'5".

Above our fridge height?

I think I'm in pain now.

At 6'1" I'm taller than a great many, such that a man more than two inches taller than me is something noteworthy. I don't call six-one "super-tall" though. Sure, a woman of that altitude is quite the tall gal -- imposing in heeled boots -- but these have also been common American fare since the late 1970s. The wife's 5'4".
