And they can't find a chair.
Oh boy will we rule the world then.

They can try and fight back
But we'll just pick them up by the ankles and hold them upside down 'til they learn better.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:21, Reply)

Yeah and hold them at arms length while they try to throw a punch.

This will be the funniest civil war in history
At least from our point of view.

It's not that much of a height difference!

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:23, Reply)

Have you seen how tall Crow is?

( girlinthehole, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:24, Reply)

no
But I was talking more about you. Are you over six foot?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:25, Reply)

I might as well be.
5'10"

But I am built like a brick shithouse.
( girlinthehole, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:26, Reply)

5'6" but nearly always in heels

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:27, Reply)

Steady, I'm only 6'2"
I'm still left looking up to Enzyme, both metaphorically and literally.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:26, Reply)

I remember you taller than that.

( girlinthehole, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:27, Reply)

I think it's just because I'm quite broad at the shoulders.
Although if you check the bash photos, I look really tall in all of them except the ones where I'm standing around Enzyme and Pookie.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:29, Reply)

is Enzyme really tall?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:29, Reply)

He must be around 6'5", 6'6"

(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:32, Reply)

blimey
good job he is a scrawny looking bugger
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:33, Reply)

That would be intimidating
A fiercely intelligent giant capable of punching you clear across a ballroom.
( Kroney, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:35, Reply)

you'd just have to hate someone like that
quietly though, and not to his face
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:40, Reply)

Oh man
they really hate it when you do that!
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:23, Reply)

wrong
I have been every height from short, through medium until I reached the height I am now, and can categorically state that this height is better than all the others.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:19, Reply)

I discovered recently
that I have a 44" chest. Means little in practice as I still don't look all that wide and it's probably mostly moob even if I did, but it sounds a damn sight more impressive than 38.

Edit: This sounds like self-indulgence upon second read-through. I was supposed to be backing up the taller is better thing.
( Kroney, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:22, Reply)

is that across?

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:24, Reply)

Around under the armpits
I'd be the size of the average MPV if it was across.
( Kroney, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:24, Reply)

mine was 44"
but is now something like 41 or 42. Inconvenient as it means none of my old suits and jackets fit me.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:25, Reply)

Agreed.
Short people can't do smug and get away with it. If Stephen fry was 5'1" he would be punched in the face a lot. being a tallish chap, he gets away with it. Quite rightly so.

He's about six foot 4 isn't he?

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:25, Reply)

and a bit I believe.
But he does slouch sometimes.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:26, Reply)

He's been punched in the face at least once
quite possibly for excessive smugness.
( Kroney, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:27, Reply)

He's not infallible.
A small person probably used a chair to stand on.
