Plus I gain satisfaction from the fact that I tower over all y'all.

 

Do you live in a village of midgets? I'm 6'3 and that's not exactly out of the ordinary. Or maybe we are just a bunch of freakish giants down under, I dunno.

Village of midgets? No. Town of shorter than average people? Perhaps. I've never actually met anyone taller than me. Only two people come close to me and one of is my dad.

Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.

That seems kinda surprising. 95th percentile for American adult (20+) males in height is about 189 cm. 6'3" = 190.5 cm. It would be rather unusual if met up with, say, 100 adult males (surely you've met at least this many people) and there aren't a handful of them who were taller than you.

 

(By the way, 5th percentile for weight among American adult men is 60.4 Kg. 120 lbs = 54.4Kg. So, in that same room with 100 adult males, you're more likely to be the lightest person than you are the tallest.)

Perhaps Orting is just an exceptionally short town. Or Washington is a short state, because I have yet to meet anyone in Orting taller than me. Or lighter.

orting must indeed a village o' relative midgets... and btw, eating a sandwich on occasion won't make you any shorter.

 

serious... see a physician, just in case. can't hurt to ask.

 

paxton for the win re vo. stanton for the win on harmonica solos.

Go Paxton!

In the context of the Alien movies, Paxton > Stanton, but it's close and they are the top two.

Thanks for the awesome avatar Jorian!

God damn it people. There is no comparison to the awesome that is Harry Dean Stanton. If you think otherwise, you're wrong.

Bill totally owned Roman, so Paxton > Stanton.

But dude, you're half Maori. You bastards are built like tanks. Big, tall, dancing tanks.

 

Though yes, at 6'0", I feel particularly average down here. Although I grow an extra foot when I travel to Sydney.

That would make you 6'0" and tri-pedal. That should make you easily recognisable :p

 

An online conversion program claims that I am 6.2335958005 feet (190 centimeter). I feel sort of average walking the street here. If I need somebody more imposing looking, I'll go get my little brother who is 200 centimeter (6.56167979 feet) =]

Well, to me the best actor/tress in alien was obviously Lambert.

 

She, and only she represents most of us in a situation of nightmare like the one in Alien.

 

I think it,s quite clear :sorcerer:

 

You know Veronica Cartwright actually read for the Ripley role before being cast as Lambert (the casting as Lambert was news that apparently actually didn't get to her until rehersals; I've often wondered if the change about might have been done partially because of her role in Kaufman's remake Invasion of the Body Snatchers in 1978, the year before Alien opened)

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

insert over sized man-crush picture of your choice here... original removed by Gromnir to save space and to prevent further psychological damage to small children and old ladies.

 

 

as Gromnir not have any creepy man-crush pictures of actors from the alien films, am simply not able to respond in kind to aram's marginally disturbing argument.

 

HA! Good Fun!
