This thread reminds me of when we went to NZ last year. I’m 6ft and 2nd from the left. Phil on the right is about 6ft 8 or so.

Personally I think I’d choose short over tall. Just so many more hassles being tall.

And you can still get on a rollercoaster at 5ft5. If you said 4ft7 (dwarf) then I’d go for tall.

Hahahahahahaa!!!!! Love the look on his face!!!!!

Ahh, but straight after ya head butted me in the jatz crackers, I would’ve had a reflex action and bent forward head butting you on the top of ya head (cause ya were that short), knockin ya unconscious and therefore allowin other short people to use you as a step, in order to assist them to see over the crowd!!!!!

Does this mean I’m 2.5 inches off being classified as ‘freakishly short’?  mad

Nah, I reckon that that will be good enough to qualify!!!!!  LOL

(And note the use of the angry smiley in the post!!!!! Classic Example of Angry Short Man Syndrome????)

Hahaha I don’t mind being short. I can sneak around undetected. LOL

Ahh, but you underestimate how fast I’ll be traveling before said head-butting, and as you g   r   o   a   n over, as you are excessively tall and not a spring chicken anymore, I’ll be gaining momentum from the other direction to run up the mountain, so to speak tongue laugh

When I was in Japan with my skier mate (6’4"ish), we were going down this green run really fast and he was ahead of me. I was gaining speed so I yelled you to open his legs, and I squatted on my board and went between his legs…..i got stuck there, and we couldnt stop or turn!! eventually i wriggled free hahaha would have been a sight to see!
