Title: How tall are you?
Post by: DoughDTD on November 14, 2009, 02:43:00 AM
Just curious, I thought it'd be fun to get a spread of how tall everyone is.  I routinely help old ladies get stuff off the top shelf at the supermarket.

6'3"  = 191 cm for our metric brethren ;)

5'7", with the same chest size as Chris, but arranged differently I'd wager.  Apparently I've got the lung capacity of a 7' man.

Yes, I'm a freak.  It must be all that singing in the valleys and dancing around juggling rugby balls, leeks and sheep.  Classic Welsh passtimes.

Are we related???  :D :D Yes my back kills me some long days. I drive a truck with the seat modified back a little further. That is exactly my jean size. The shower head has been relocated when I bought the house. it is now 8 inches above my head. I was good at basketball but broke my leg in a 4 wheeler accident. And when they ask if I every played I usually say " I didnt want to make millions a year so I gave it up"

Well it's bad enough, I could have done with a couple more inches.  Being a guy below average height hasn't always been fun, but lower center of gravity can be an advantage, especially with the weight to ground it ;)  I probably could have been a good wrestler in some ways (my school area doesn't have any wrestling programs).  However, boxing would have been a weakness as I have no reach compared to most others (of course that would be different in my own height/weight class, provided I didn't weigh as much as a heavyweight ::)).

Unfortunately, shortarses see me as a challenge, later on in the evening. I try to move away from the likely flashpoints, as I have PTSD (not militarily related) and, as a result, I can react rather **robustly**, if the red mist descends.

Yes, I am in therapy, as it happens and no, I'm not generally dangerous. :-)
