King and I Meet Up!

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Yeah we talked about all sorts of stuff. Though I know I can be a bit of a chatter box when I get talking. One thing about meeting him was I for some reason expected him to be shorter. Tim is a bit of tall guy, he makes me look short in that picture and I'm probably about average height I think.

My Brothers and I are all around the 6' mark, I'm at 6'2" so I'm rather tall.  :P

King

Yeah but I bet Dan could still kick your... You know. ;)

I would never mess with a Ju-Jitsu trained person.  That's just asking for a butt-kicking. :P

And I'd just come from the Les Mills Fitness Expo and just done BodyCombat (which is why I'm in my fight shorts in the picture).

[Poodyglitz]

That is so cool guys!  One of these days I'll have to rent a Winnebago and travel the country (and world) seeking out TSF members.  :)

That would be cool. It would be cool to meet you face to face, have lunch/brunch/dinner/whatever.

That's what I thought before I saw the picture! (Sorry!)

[WillEagle]

I also thought that he was shorter. But then when I saw the picture Tim looked pretty tall. Of course I'm only 5-4 1/4 so most people are taller than me. And I always put the 1/4 in there because It makes me feel taller.  ;D

[ElfManDan]

Well I'm not short, but I'm not exactly tall at 5'9. I'm around average height, but that was about the first thing I think I said to him and he said he thought I'd be taller. His brothers were the same too so I was looking up to them, but that was me in grade school so I was used to it.

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Now I'm curious why people thought I was shorter than I really was....

My guess is that it's something to do with the fact that you've got pretty broad shoulders. Without a height reference, I guess it's easy to assume 'average' dimensions for something like the shoulders and then scale the height to suit that theory.

I need to go and find pictures of you and Rick now so that I can reassess his height!

5 foot 9 inches.  yep, that's me.

Being tall isn't all it's cracked up to be. I hit my head a lot and it's hard to buy pants.

<-- 6'3"

and don't forget having to come down from "heaven" to get something out of the bottom drawer/shelf/w/e multiple times with our backs screaming in agony. 

ok, its not that bad :P

[ElfManDan]

But you guys get to reign over the rest of us mere short people.

[Feathers]

5 foot 8 here so I'm losing the height cup to all you mega-tall people so far.

[ElfManDan]

*Virtual High Five* Feathers to us average heighted people.

[Feathers]

*returns virtual high (or average?) five"

Now all I've got to do is achieve an average width to go with the height...
