being short

oh yeah u

i already know we r not the same, u r a famous writer

yeah but he's only famous for being triple morbidly obese so

Oh man he's TMO now? Damn, son.

it's sad he wasn't even six feet

he must have incredibly narrow proportions to be so obese ad fit in a 32 inseam and be 5 11 and three quarters, like does he have bones or is he just fat upon fat upon fat creating a pseudo skeletal structure

sry max, talkin bout u like u r not here again, didnt notice u there without any bones to support ur body

With an extra 3/4 inch he'd probably be only DMO per the BMI. You ought to grow a little, max.

i hope you're all not having a go at our max because no one does.

just to be clear, i weigh 1m pounds

1 mile pounds

no, million

So who wants to trade pants via the mail? I've got a pair of 501s circa 1990, buttonfly, acid wash. - looking for unreleased plaid nylon Kauffmans, 79-82.

Surmounted I personally found the fact that you're 5'11" quite interesting. Not that I'd ever thought about it but I think I assumed you were short!

haha this, but I also thought gbx was like 6 feet! take it as a compliment...I guess?

I always thought guys who were 5'11 would just always round up to 6'. thanks for keeping the rest of us honest!!

I round up in other places.

ha!

i round up to the nearest meter

I was very shocked and surprised when I met gbx and we were the same height as I'd basically started to assume that everyone on the internet was like 6'14"

haha yeah i thought you were gonna be a lot taller, too, probably cuz i figured you'd be jjj sized

I think I did all of my ILX-based height complaining pre-2004

holy fuck I've been here for a while

I suspect you're like Ripley in Alien 4 where your body is 50% integrated with ILX

what country does DJP live in where a feet contains more than 12"!!

America, motherfucker

My driver's license says 5'6, but i think i'm actually closer to 5'5.

I feel like I get called "buddy" more than your average guy because of my size. It strikes me as vaguely condescending.

thanking u, dayo + gbx, for my Tuesday lol

I once did a cool stupid human trick and my friend just blurted "little man!!!!" like it was the most natural thing in the world. so w/e!

scenes from a delivery room

~kudos~

I have to sit on a textbook in order to sit at this desk and use the computer comfortably. Wish I had another one tbh.

lol at plains and max agonizing about being 5'11 & 3/4

feel that this is a shibboleth and that there are no 5'11 & 3/4 republicans

so either assume george w bush was not a true republican or that in anticipation that his presidential medical would falsify any exageration, elected for honesty

5'9" and have definitely thought many times that my life would be objectively better if a few inches taller. But you have to shoot the bullets you have in life. Waste of time to obsess on things you can't change.

When all else fails, make a booster chair out of books or pillows.

At an open mic the other night, I had to pull my barstool out to practically the middle of the floor to see past the heads of all the tall people at the bar. Oh, did I say tall people? I meant to say tall ladies. I was told 5'7" was average dude height but I'm not sure I buy it.

ya maybe in the middle ages

*towers over thread and scoffs*

a giant am0n men

5'9 and i don't mind. underdog mentality.

Swagger comes in all sizes.

lol @ all you short people

Careful, that means the shiv is closer to your entrails.

damn this thread got heated, short people going at each others necks, we need to stick together

i don't feel this insecurity anymore btw... all my friends in chicago are my height for w/e reason

I'm 5'7 but don't mind I just buy boots with thick soles

i actually have no memory of what the source of this was last summer

Jord I'm not your friend but I'm considerably shorter than you are AND I'm in Chicago. Even your extended posse is short.

I'm taller. We can never meet.

damn this thread got heated, short people going at each others necks, we need to stick together

Of course, the neck is the most logical place to go at, if you're a head shorter than the other guy

I think I was about 5'5" until my junior/senior year of high school, and some part of my brain still expects me to be shorter than most people. So, I feel you, people who are shorter.
