Lose your tampons?
Lose your sanity?
It's just, well, bothersome to me. Not just this thread, but all the people who come here trying to be badass. I don't so much mind the people who contributed to the thread, as it's a perfectly legit discussion, but the creation of it just irks me, especially since I see the same pissing contest so much. I like nerf because it's NOT badass. It's just fun.
I'd have to agree with DB on this one, guys.
The whole comparing physical attributes over the INTERNET in a feeble attempt to better yourselves is pathetic.
Not particularly this thread. Nor particularly anyone who responded in it. But the whole thing about comparing yourself to other people just to be all macho is ridiculous. Especially over the internet.
But, just so I'm not completley off topic: I'm six feet, eight inches tall, 194 lbs.
And the whole thing about the knees and back pain: I've got a bad knee, but not because I'm tall. Fracturing your knee-cap and having it heal incorrectly at the age of 5 is not pleasant by any means. But, yeah, a lot of other people my height have back problems.
And the whole heart-rate-being-less-healthy-and-dying-really-fast thing: I'm a track biker. I'm also a long-distance runner. I'm on the University swim team and hold the team record for the mile. I'd say my hearts in decent shape for my size and weight.
Don't hate us cause we're freakishly large.
Oh, and no, I wasn't trying to show off. I'm just refuting your point (Mainly because I've been teased about my height a lot, and I like to prove people wrong. I'm not 'unhealthy'. It's nothing personal if I sounded angry)
Sincereley,
