Poll: How tall is the Escapist?

[Eclipse Dragon]

OT: Varies between six foot and six foot two, depending on who is measuring me. I once had a drunk plumber measure me and my mate in a pub with his tape measure (don't ask), and it came out at six four.

You know now I'm almost required to ask?

My friend and I, being a little bit tiddly, were having a conversation with some of the barmaids and the subject of height came up. I said I was about 6'1, and my mate claimed he was 5'9 or so. I said that couldn't be right because my friend is clearly taller than me, so we bickered over this for a while and wound up standing back-to-back with the barmaids attempting to judge. Then this guy at the end of the bar pipes up with "I know, I've got a tape measure in the van!", disappears outside, returns with his tape measure and proceeds to measure us both and give us the comparative results.

We then spent a little while drinking with him, until his conversation started to get a little...weird. It turns out he was a big supporter of British imperialism, claiming that the world was a better place when we ran it and that we'd been instrumental in raising the "savages" above their primitive level. I believe at one point he actually started a sentence with "I'm not racist, but..."

If memory serves, we decided to go drink elsewhere, and he decided to come with us. We got into a club, let him wander off to the bar, and then legged it as fast as we could

Interesting... I know I should say more, but that's really the best reaction I have other than...
"It's strange how a sentence beginning in "I'm not racist, but..." is usually followed by something racist."

About 5'9", 5'10"? I'm 20 so the prospect of getting any taller is rather slim :/

 

[Hagi]

Wait? What?

6'2 is the highest measurement? 1.88 meters is the tallest option?

What kind of midget measurements are those?

I'm 2,02 meters or 6'8" (well technically it's 6'7,5" but apparently decimals are too complicated and things need to be rounded for 'Mericans).

Not really strange - if you actually weren't racist, you wouldn't need to add the "but". You could just say "I'm not racist" and then segue into something about caterpillars or wagon wheels, as I often do when telling people how not-racist I am.

The "but" is just a symbol, one that means "ignore previous statement, as I am about to be racist as fuck"

 

[Mr Fixit]

6'1" or something like that. I'm taller than most of my friends & family, but I'm still just about average. I used to hang out with a girl that was 4'11", we made an interesting pair.

For those who are wanting metric entries in the poll: I would but i'm limited to 8 choices and even if more were available, it would just be redundant. I guess I could go through and add in CM ranges next to the inches/feet, but i'm too tired to do so.

 

[SckizoBoy]

I'm British and I'm demanding metres & centimetres... -_-

178cm or thereabouts. Depends which side you measure me from... ¬_¬ Still short, though... apparently...

 

[lunavixen]

I'm 160cm tall, for a 23 year old female thats not bad, most of my family has been either really short or really tall

 

[Tayh]

Around 173. Shortest one in the family. My sister, who is 6 years younger, is a few centimetres taller.

 

[Owlslayer]

1.88 meters or so. Not really sure, haven`t measured for a while. Not really sure what that is in feet. I´m guessing 6 or so? So, yeah. More or less average-ish, or so.

 

[DoPo]

1.88 meters or so. Not really sure, haven`t measured for a while. Not really sure what that is in feet. I´m guessing 6 or so? So, yeah. More or less average-ish, or so.

6'2'' probably. Or something. I know I'm 185cm which is, like 6'1'' last I checked.

I am 4'11, or exactly 5 feet (152 cm), depending on who measures my height.
Anyone here shorter than me?

The garden gnomes...oh, wait, sorry

Spoiler

 

[Angie7F]

female, 153cm, approx 5 foot.
For me, flying economy is not tough at all. Upgrading will be such a waste of space.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

The garden gnomes...oh, wait, sorry

Spoiler

We have garden gnomes on the Escapist?
That... that explains a lot.

Are they in need of a queen?

[Zhukov]

I'm about six foot, probably a bit under.

It's been long time since I last measured myself. I may since have shrunk from old age.

 

[IndomitableSam]

Female, 5'7". No idea what that is in cm, even being Canadian. I'm a bad person.

 

[TakeshiLive]

M-M-METRIC FTW.

~176cm, haven't measured in a while. That's rather tall for an Asian dude.

 

[antidonkey]

If I were to get specific....6'1" & 1/2.

My whole family is fairly tall. Hell, my older brother is slightly taller than I am.

 

[White-Death]

178 or 179 and still growing.
14 years old here,I'll joing the mr.average club.

 

[Libra]

6'4. I'm Dutch, and we are supposedly the tallest people on this little blue pebble.

Makes walking through old buildings a pain though. Dear god the headaches...

 

[Brutal Peanut]

I am a 25 year old woman who measures to 5'5". My mom is shorter than I am , and my Brother is 6'4".
We kind of range all over the place.
