i'm really sorry, i certainly did not mean to...
unfortunately on that first occasion, even though it was only 8 'o clock, i was actually slightly drunk - and therefore rather tactless - as my chaletmates wanted to celebrate our arrival at the chalet by drinking whiskey in the afternon and i hadn't eaten anything since breakfast... this might be an explanation, although i do not exclude the possibility that i might have a tendency to scare people by creeping up on them, of course... sorry...

i might not look that tall, because i usually don't stand straight... and i would perhaps be taller than 6'6'' if i didn't have this scoliosis that curves my vertebral spine 13° on the right on the bottom part and 8° on the left on the top part, if i remember right (but those figures sounds crazy now that I'm writing them, so I'm not sure... in any case, my vertebral spine is not supposed to collapse because of this, and I'm not supposed to worry about it, that's all i know...)

well, i just hope that my spine does look better than this:

that was a bizarre bit of fortune wasnt it in the line at atp? i mean who would have thunk it?

o o o 03.23.2007 01:04 PM

oh, it was fun... but the scared look on sonicl's face followed me during the whole week-end and is one of my very few bad memories about atp...

jon boy 03.23.2007 01:26 PM

i still wake up screaming at the sight of him!

pokkeherrie 03.23.2007 01:48 PM

according to google:
1.82 meters = 5.97112861 feet
so that's about 5' 11.99" or rounded up 6'0" i guess... dunno.


not too long ago i read that the dutch are now statistically the tallest nation in the world (quite convenient with the rising water levels and all), but i'm not really adding much to that reputation. i'm probably just average or maybe even a little bit below it.

EMMAh 03.23.2007 02:12 PM

I'm 5'5.5" so I rounded up to 5'6"
I wish I was taller, but my brother stole my height, he's 6'4"

ploesj 03.23.2007 02:15 PM

im the smallest here, both my younger brothers are taller. but i dont care. although its hard to find pants that arent too long.

You look taller than that if it's any consolation.

HaydenAsche 03.23.2007 02:25 PM

I'm 6'3".

Prisstina 03.23.2007 02:54 PM

5'2.

have to climb on the countertops to get food out of the cupboards & need help getting stuff out of my locker at school.

Hip Priest 03.23.2007 06:36 PM

5' 10 3/4"

sonicl 03.23.2007 06:41 PM

A question to the tall people (although not the abnormally tall) - Do you actually feel tall? I only actually notice that I'm tall when I stand next to someone of about 5' 5" or less, and even then I often think that it's actually that they're very short. Otherwise I assume I'm the same height as everyone else.

I always thought that being 6'+ should mean that I should be able to get a good view at any concert or other event that I go to, and yet there always seem to be people blocking my view. I've never understood how that happens.

screamingskull 03.23.2007 07:15 PM

Cantankerous 03.23.2007 08:57 PM

Norma J 03.23.2007 09:00 PM

Who is the manly men? Obviously not I, as I'm fairly tall.

afterthefact 03.24.2007 05:16 PM

I am 5' 11 7/8"... I could just say 6 feet, but everytime I do, I just know I'm lying in the back of my head, so I end up correcting myself. Stupid conscience.
