I have just conducted an informal poll: I am tall at 6'2".
I do see that there is a difference between being tall, and being tall to such an extent that it can be used as a synecdoche. For "tall guy" to be a proper name, yes, I do think you need to be rather tall. Maybe 6'4"
That's me. I swear, she's talking about me . Sorry, guys, I've got a plane to catch. A plane in which I'll be uncomfortable, because I tower over you all.
Erin Gray was just a childhood crush; I'm into reality now; I need to suffer.
Maybe we need a Guess Fontana's Height Contest? Of course, if he really does tower over the 6'2" Michael, knowing his real height would narrow down his real identity quite a bit.
I'm wondering if his "soon to be single" prediction has manifested. And if so, is he now getting hit on a lot less? And is that plane he has to catch for the purposes of flying off to meet this harpy, or is he just cruising for hotties?
I only date soul-sucking emotional vampires who prefer my hateful negative attentions over no attentions at all. Please contact me directly if you qualify and live in/travel to the Portland, Oregon area.
I don't live in or travel to Portland. I don't mean by "I don't travel to Portland" that it's a rule or anything, it's just not something I habitually do or expect to do. I do know a woman there who owns a sword-cane and teaches in Reed's drama department, though.
funny, i never though of you as tall

I'm not tall: 6'0" at my penultimate doctor's visit, 5'11.5" at my last one, as time, apparently has already taken a bite out of me.
Anyway, that's not the issue, it's a damn good personal.

6' isn't tall? it's above-average

Right, but you wouldn't describe someone six feet tall as "the tall guy." That kicks in around 6'3", no?

Erin Gray would never write a personal ad like that.

Well, golly! I'm so flattered right now. I am, as speculated, a she - just to set the record straight.

Thanks for the laughs. Now, you should date all of us, and we'll all post about it.

Do you look like a monkey?
I mean, more than most humans?
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 10-13-04 2:10 PM
Not unless most monkeys need glasses, no.
