How tall are you Hobbes?

I'm just curious.

He's 2'6".

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Yes, but I'm 11' long. [Razz]

Around 6'1", 6'2", I'm not sure. Why?

Hobbes [Smile]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Just curious. Thanks!

[Big Grin]

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

She's setting you up with her cousin.

The ugly one.

[Big Grin]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Shhh!! You're not supposed to TELL him!!

[No No]

Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :

I don't think not knowing about the cousin will make the first meeting any better. If you don't tell him, he won't have ready all those great ways to say how much he likes her personality.

Personally, I think she's making a big stuffed tiger costume for Hobbes for Halloween!

Hobbes! are you being dirty?

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

I think if we were to measure Hobbes's height with the magic measuring tape from Mary Poppins, it would say "practically perfect in every way."

Annie [Smile]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

*wink wink nudge nudge say no more*

Annie, you're just going to have to wait and see if Hobbes likes my *coughreallyuglycough* cousin!! [Big Grin]

And Nato, yes. I think he was being dirty. [Wink]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

PS Annie, love the sig! You're so cute!

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

That is, perhaps, the sweetest thing anyone has ever told me. And you can take out the perhaps. [Big Grin]

Hobbes

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

*carefully extracts the "perhaps"*

[Kiss]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

*stamps foot*

Ahem! COUSIN!!!

J/K dearies. You'll still never know why I asked how tall you are Hobbes. [Wink]

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Should I be doing this: [Angst]

or this:

in anticipation of what you will do with that information?

While you're busy making up your mind I'll be doing this: [Kiss]

Annie

Hobbes

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Just keep up the kissing and have no fear. The information was put to good use...for your good I might add. [Smile]

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

So you're saying I should be doing this: [Blushing]

Annie

?

Cause that's what I planned on doing anyways. [Wink]

Hobbes

Posted by Wetchik (Member # 3609) on :

You're 6'2"?

[Eek!]

*whines about tall people* [Grumble]

I'm only 5'8". [Embarrassed]

Posted by asQmh (Member # 4590) on :

Hey! I'm 5'8" and I'm fine with that. ^_~

Q.

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Hmm, I layed down on my floor which supposadly has one foot tiles (we measured a few of them). I think I'm around 6'1" and a a bit, my roommate claims I'm actually close to 6'3" but I think he's an idiot. [Wink]

Hobbes

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Your height (when standing) and your length (when lying down) are not the same.

You don't have a measuring tape, Hobbes? Tell me again what your major is? [Wink]

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

*cough* Ummm... English? [Embarrassed]

I know it's pathetic, but at least I have duct-tape. [Smile]

Hobbes

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

Awww...Q, you're two inches taller than me!

I guess it's okay that I'm shorter, since you're also taller than or the same height as my husband (depending on who you ask [Wink]

), and as it was I had to wear slippers for my wedding.

*looks around*

I'm sorry, what were we talking about again? I seem to have gotten confused.
[Confused]

Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :

Here's how you find out how tall you are-dispense with digging up measuring tape and standing up straight, why interrupt good slouching?

Go to a convenience store. Near the door they'll have a measure, and depending on the store you'll either be 7'3'' or 4'9''. Problem solved.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Buy a measuring tape. Add it to your list of things to buy the next time you're at the store. For a buck or two, it's a good investment.

Never mind not knowing your actual height. You might need to know the dimensions of something important. Like, how far it is from your doorway to your neighbor's down the hall.

Why would that be important? I don't know -- but I'm sure you'll need it eventually. [Big Grin]

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

I also have a question for Hobbes:

Are named after the tiger, the philosopher, for an entirely different reason or a combination of all three?

Posted by wieczorek (Member # 5565) on :

I asked that exact ("exact" is only being used for emphasis [Wink]

) question. Hobbes, didn't you say something about a tiger on a wall? A painting, perhaps?

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Actually, he is named after Hobbes, hindu god of good looks and charm.

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

My pet tiger is named after the Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes, who is named after the philosopher. So all three. [Smile]

It was a picture of a picture of Hobbes that I showed you. [Smile]

I have more, but there are short people threads and you should ressurect them if you feel the need to vent about being short. Or tall. Or some other kind of freak. [Wink]

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Hey, the hobbits are short, and they're cool.
Ender and Bean were short.
Lots of famouse people are short.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Aww, sorry Eruve! I just think it's a funny song.

Actually, short people are a far more efficient use of resources than tall people. [Big Grin]

And I love short people! I have three of my own. [Wink]

Posted by Mormo (Member # 5799) on :

Lots of famouse people are short--Eruve

BWHAHAhahahahahaa! [Laugh]

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Stop laughing at me!!! [Frown]

(took me a minute to get what you meant. I thought I spelled something wrong again [Wink]

)

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Wow, you go away for a day and the thread you started is out of control!! I love it! I myself am 6' tall in bare feet. This sucks, as I am a GIRL!! But, I deal...and hang out with other tall people...like...um...oh yeah!! Annie and Hobbes!! [Wink]

Posted by ana kata (Member # 5666) on :

Oh, Narnia, it's very cool to be tall! I would love to be 6 feet tall! I always was tall for my age as a kid but then I guess I stopped growing before the others cause I'm sort of short now (5'5") though I don't feel short, really. I just have a hard time reaching stuff on the top shelf.

I had a friend who was ashamed of being tall and she would say she was 5'12". [Smile]

But I think I would love it. It's just so handy. Except for flying on airplanes, of course, when it's nice to have short legs, particularly if you need to look out the window in order to keep from getting motion sick. [Smile]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Yeah, airplanes are sometimes physically painful. It's all in my legs. [Smile]

I have gotten better at accepting my height as part and parcel of the marvelous person that is ME. [Big Grin]

I even wear heals and thick soles now cause they're just so much cuter. I just have to find a guy that's 6'4" so I can STILL wear tall shoes.

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

ana kata - YOU feel short at 5'5"?
I'm 5' (5'2" on my driver's licence [Big Grin]

)

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Once I lived with five roommates who were all 5'2" and under. At 5'9", I felt a little weird.

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

I'm five four. Screw all you tall people!

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Three cheers for short people!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
[Big Grin]

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :

Wasn't this thread supposed to be about me? [Dont Know]

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

*makes this thread about Hobbes*
[Kiss]

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

*pats Hobbes on back*
yeah, but now it's about short people, too. [Big Grin]

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

*sings silly Broadway songs inserting Hobbes' name in at key places*

There. This thread is officially about you again.

*sings "I know what you're doing this evening" in an irritating voice*

[Big Grin]

Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :

*sings* Hobbes is so vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiin, he probably thinks this thread is about hiiiiiiiiiim... ::note::

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

he's too sexy for this thread, too sexy for this thread, too sexy...

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

mack that's perfect.

Now you're going to have to do the "I'm too sexy" runway walk for us when you come to Portland Hobbes! [Big Grin]
