How tall are dwellars?

footfootfoot • Jan 10, 2013 12:41 pm
Please pick a height. Preferably your own, actual height. Metrically inclined people can convert how high they are into how tall they are by multiplying the number of metrics they have by 0.39370.

We will round up to the nearest inch or cm since you are all probably slouching right now.
BigV • Jan 10, 2013 12:47 pm
Tall. and wide, and not just across the belly. my wingspan is greater than my height.

eta: 76 inches top to bottom, 80 inches tip to tip.

Ho high? I thought the song went "high ho, high ho"?

You know the dwarves are fuuuucked up when they're singing "ho high ho high".

When we did faculty superlatives one year, I was voted runner-up for "Most Likely to be Asked for a Hall Pass," since even most of the freshmen were taller than me. I lost to someone who dressed more casually than I did and so she tended to blend in more.

swimmer--check.
knuckle dragger--check.

You've seen the cuffs I wear? They're just spacers for all my long sleeve shirts. I know I'm not the tallest dwellar, I think Perry Winkle is taller if I remember correctly. Also, footfootfoot, are you slouching? I don't see any entry for you and I see we can't see the poll results as far as how each person voted.

Heheh.....when I was student teaching, the principal actually stopped me in the hallway. My supervising teacher had to explain to her who I was. And every time someone comes in with a note for a student to come to the office, he/she would say, "She's the teacher??!!??" I would always have to put out my hand and demand they give me the note, and I would have to wait a few seconds before they reluctantly do. :p

Re: Penii.


I've seen tons. literally tons of them. (I WAS a nurse, you know) and while they do differ it's really only the Lock Ness types or the pencil erasers that get any mention. Some do bend definitely one way or the other; a curve if you will. I had one of those. He was mind blowing. Also had a Nessie. Amazing. Truly a work of art. I wanted to take a pic but he wouldn't let me (not that he was shy he just didn't want to be recognized) It was the length from the second line on my wrist to the tip of my middle finger and had girth, baby, girth. He was the best screw and the worst person I ever met.

Too Much Information Below.
You have been warned.

I had a long flirtation and a lovely snog with someone in my office. I've never judged a man by his penis before, but this one was like a pencil. I felt ham-fisted giving him a hand shandy. I broke up with him just after Christmas. I knew I would, so I bought him an extravagent present. The really awful thing was he took me to meet his family on Boxing Day - aaaaargh.

But in my defence the man who I had the best foreplay with (it wasn't one-sided!) had the shortest dick. Poor chap. He was simply born with it, it's not something you can work on. And the man had the tongue of an angel.

It was curved, like a fine Arabian sword. AND he was in a band lead singer and he was goood and I fucked him on the sink in the men's restroom of a SuperSubway just because I was 21 and could. god he was hot.


saw a pic of him just a few weeks ago. despite his no smoking and hardly ever drinking the boy has NOT aged well. Hell, I look better than he does and I've trashed myself.

Just to correct Bri.
Yes, it's in public, but Brits at least will appreciate it.
I sent her a QI book.

Flicking through it before I sent, every entry came into my ear as Stephen Fry.
Or occasionally Phill Jupitus (did you know his step-father was Lithuavian and was given that surname in 1917 at immigration?)

Never Alan Davies though.
Trilby • Jan 16, 2013 3:17 pm

and, oh, sorry; a QI book. Still----it's mustard gas.

Sundae • Jan 16, 2013 3:21 pm
I meant that I was correcting you in public. Something I only tend to do in PMs these days so as not to offend.

Yeah I want to live with Mr Fry too.
I think Dani would go for someone spikier though (not sure this is a real word, it comes from spiky)

When my Euromillions reward comes in, I'll make it clear that M Fry always has a room at my place. He'll drop by from time to time, don't you worry.

Yeah, but cyclophosphamide is still mustard gas. And Taxotere is from yew. Pulmonary fibrosis, cardiotoxicity, future malignancies. And I'm going to lose my fingernails, I think. Hooray.

Trilby • Jan 16, 2013 4:48 pm
Plath has the perfect poem for the poisonous Yew:

The Moon and the Yew Tree

This is the light of the mind, cold and planetary
The trees of the mind are black. The light is blue.
The grasses unload their griefs on my feet as if I were God
Prickling my ankles and murmuring of their humility
Fumy, spiritous mists inhabit this place.
Separated from my house by a row of headstones.
I simply cannot see where there is to get to.

The moon is no door. It is a face in its own right,
White as a knuckle and terribly upset.
It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet
With the O-gape of complete despair. I live here.
Twice on Sunday, the bells startle the sky --
Eight great tongues affirming the Resurrection
At the end, they soberly bong out their names.

The yew tree points up, it has a Gothic shape.
The eyes lift after it and find the moon.
The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary.
Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls.
How I would like to believe in tenderness -
The face of the effigy, gentled by candles,
Bending, on me in particular, its mild eyes.

I have fallen a long way. Clouds are flowering
Blue and mystical over the face of the stars
Inside the church, the saints will all be blue,
Floating on their delicate feet over the cold pews,
Their hands and faces stiff with holiness.
The moon sees nothing of this. She is bald and wild.
And the message of the yew tree is blackness - blackness and silence.


she get's it pretty good, doesn't she? I tried not to take the Yew personally but jaysus Taxotere is rough. and cardiotoxicity: got it. Yay me!

It's like my sister said when I was taking chemo---they're trying to just barely kill you; just kill you a little.
