    Just a friend of ours. He's 6'7". His runt of a fraternal twin brother is only 6'5'. He's referred to as the Spag-Yeti of the two as he's also slimmer.

    Tall people frighten me. DH is 6'2", I think he is a giant compared to all 5'2" of me. We used to have a customer at Lowe's that was 6'13". Yes that is how he said it because 7'1" sounded so awful to him. It made my neck hurt to talk to him when he came to my register but he was a really nice man and no he never played basketball.

    Reminds me of my niece, who at 6'2" was often asked if she played basketball or volleyball.

    And she'd inevitably reply "No, do you play miniature golf?".


    - jobob, so proud of her wizeazz niece.

    LOL!! I play miniature golf but not professionally. Clever niece you got there. People used to ask me if I was an albino because I am quite fair skinned, I could never think of anything that clever but usually just told them to STFU.
