being short

yeah but then he got to fly first class just cause he was tall

and he can totally DUNK

a fun game to play is how many years of yr life would you be willing to give to dunk on the reg

at least a year

how many years of yr life would you be willing to give to dunk on the reg

I can't afford first class, but I always get United's Economy Plus. That extra 5" makes a huge difference.

exit row, n00bs

I can never get those. Never avail on united with my status level.

ugh, the Economy Plus -- I wound up ponying up the extra cash for that for the same reason.

like seriously I sometimes pick movie theatres to see movies at based on my knowledge of the layout and the legroom :/

x-post oh those are the best!

i'm 5ft 10 which i guess is average but doesn't feel like it where i come from tbh

yeah if I were 5'10 I would totally move to a country filled w/ leprechauns

haha

lol

would you dudes rather be stephen merchant or ricky gervais?

when i was like 14~15 my best friend who was v short was a subject of this documentary abt being a short male http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26M_Short_and_Male & one of the shoots was me & some other friends hanging out with him goofin around teasing him abt being short, we also beatboxed & wrote a rap about how its cool to be short & that they filmed. at some pt after that while he was doing talking head shots/interviews he got really embarassed bc it was going to be on national tv and told them he thought the whole thing was lame & wished he had never gotten involved, i think in the end they left him out entirely

I like your short story, flopson.

it seems weird to do a documentary about the hardships of being short & include someone that is 14 YEARS OLD

no way, I know tons of short 14 year olds

I was cast as Tiny Tim in our 5th grade production of A Christmas Carol. Entirely because I was the shortest boy in my grade.

wait that doc came out in 2008, how old are you flop?

there are hordes of them, that's why it's stupid, it's like making a documentary about breakfast-eaters.

we might have been a little older i cant remember really

I would possibly watch a doc about breakfast-eaters

ok if the doc was out in 08 maybe we were filming in 07 & i was 16

the movie was about short males of all ages

I think flopson and friends' approach sounds kind and endearing, it has a freaks and geeks tone to it.

breakfast-eaters was a poor example to use on greedy old ilx.

the same friend also once met the creator or director or something of law & order: svu at a dinner party thru his tangentially high-society jewish family and asked him if he would name a character after him, & he did and the character was a rapist!

well he asked for it!

iirc he was still p stoked

lmao jordan

lool

betwixt 6' & 6'2" is the best for a dude

is there an album cover about how short dudes are the best cause like i feel real bad for jordan s(hortie)

c(hortle)

jordan s is taller than me and i don't ever suffer pangs about shortness.

i think jordan s is also taller than bob dylan.

and also jordan s is taller than my dog who does not even reach my knee, sometimes i exclaim at him about that.

youre still awake?! its almost 6 am!

i know it is in some places but for me it's 7.36 pm sunday.

i was worried

i'm a bit disappointed you didn't express your concern by writing a rap about it.

I used to be short. I'm glad I'm not anymore.

I used to be too $hort then...

one thing that sucks about being short is finding clothes that fit you

lol amon

This is actually pretty interesting to me. As I said earlier I like being tall - a lot. I'm either 5'9" or 5'10" depending on who by and when I'm measured and I think that's sort of the perfect tall height for a woman. It's not so tall that it seems freakish but it's tall enough that I reap the benefits. I think that being a tall woman can be a huge benefit in terms of commanding respect and being taken seriously by men. That might sound strange but I think it's a lot easier for people to dismiss small women than it is for them to dismiss taller women and I feel like in certain situations (work, school) smaller female friends have had to work work harder at being heard and taken seriously than I have. In some ways height and physical presense = power and I think definitely benefited from being tall.

this is a thing i have a complex about in terms of being short but tbf maybe people dismiss me because i'm crazy and it has nothing to do with my height.

That's basically what I meant -- always reminds me of that little bit before Daydream Believer where Davy Jones asks "is it because I'm short?" (or us it just ME?)

this sucks for tall ppl too, ime
