Uh... THIS IS A WEIRD THREAD SUBJECT.

I'm just under 6'1. Or was. Haven't measured in years. Maybe I've grown.

THAT'S MY PENIS, BY THE WAY. I'm really thirty feet tall.

Maybe that's why you're known as Abnormal Freak :o  All kidding aside, I'm around 5'8 or 5'9. I haven't measured myself recently either.

I am somewhat overweight but I've been cutting back on junk so I've been losing some of it.

Napoleon was that tall btw.

Edit- Since people are talking about weight, I'm actually quite skinny, about 140 pounds or so.
Title: Re: How tall are you?
Post by: Abnormal Freak on October 13, 2010, 02:21:10 PM
lolz. Since we're on the whole build thing, I'm pretty average. I've got these little bologna tits that could be turned into some pretty mean pecs if I were ever to work out. But despite having these things, I've always been pretty skinny.

'Cept for the past two years, lol. Toward the end of summer of '08 I started drinking root beer like a madman. Walmart had these really inexpensive 12-packs that tasted pretty good and were like $2.38 or something. Nice little price, so I bought packs frequently and drank like two or three a day, ha. Then like two or three months later I went on a quest to try as many different root beers as I could get my hands on (avoiding any alcoholic ones)—a quest I'm still on, though I've scaled things back quite a bit and mostly stick to brews made with cane or beet sugar, since I'm convinced high-fructose corn syrup turns you into a fatty way quicker, heh. Plus it tastes crummy.

But yeah... After like half a year of my root beer binging, I gained 30 pounds. >.> Right when I noticed the severe weight gain, I cut back on my soda intake, ha. I haven't gained any more since, but my root beer gut hasn't gone away either. I could exercise, but, y'know... Me am lazy-ass.

I think I weigh like 215–220. Supposedly for my height I ought to be around 175 pounds, but...I haven't been that weight since I was a wiry little scrawny teenager. So those charts can eat my ass.

5'7 and slim, seems to be the average height for most here.

Soldjermon, I see lots of girls 5'2 and shorter, nothing wrong with being that height.

Post by: OmegaDL50 on October 13, 2010, 02:54:41 PM
I never even knew that Alcoholic Root Beer existed. As far as I can remember it has always been just another Soda.

But stuff like the high sodium contents and carbohydrates and that fructose corn syrups are the main reason I've stopped drinking soda all together. I haven't drank any sort of soda willingly going on 8 months now.

I've come across only one brand, but I know of plenty of brews which also have alcoholic content. And a lot of the "ritzier" root beers are actually brewed by companies which are primarily beer brewers, heh.

My god....so a soda became a beer but it was already called root beer so wouldn't kinda warrant a name change to "root soda"?

5'9" 222lbs I need to work out

I think root beer began as a drink with a small amount of alcohol, actually.

Fuck you Americans and your bloody weird measuring system!
Why the hell won't you use meters / kilograms / Celsius  like the rest of the world?
Damn, your system is so complicated!

Well, my height is 1.78 meters, which is 5.83 ft. or (dear God, how do you measure it that way?) 5' 10'' (which is 5 feet, 10 inches?)

So let's compare the metric system to the imperial one again...

Metric system:

1 kilometre ( km ) = 1000 metre , 1 metre = 100 cm , 1 cm = 10 mm

Quite simple isn't it?

Imperial system:
1 mile = 5280 feet , 1 foot (ft.) = 12 inches (in.)

WTF DUDE  >:(

P.S. I know the English created that system. Like everything English, it's too bloody complicated...
Title: Re: How tall are you?
Post by: Abnormal Freak on October 16, 2010, 01:37:39 AM
It's not complicated when you're familiar with distances and length in such measuring, heh. Metric system makes more sense mathematically, but not being familiar with the length of a centimeter, I have nooo damn clue how long a meter is, ha. The closest comparison I have is a yard, which is three feet and approximately one meter, though a little under a meter.

But man, it probably would make way more sense to go metric. I even get our own measurements confused sometimes. Like, there are 12 inches in a foot, but for weight there's 16 ounces in a pound. I sometimes forget and think there's actually 12 ounces per pound, ha ha. Only way I'm able to keep that detail fairly straight is I work in a bakery and am weighing things off every day, but it sometimes takes me a couple seconds to get my bearings straight. But the most retarded ass bullshit is when you get a set of ingredients that deal with cups and tablespoons and all that nonsense. Damn, just give me the real measurements, not this sissy household kitchen mom stuff! :p

I wonder if people from the rest of the world hear we Americans saying, "It's 60 degrees outside," and think, "Hoooooooly shit, it's fucking hot over there!"

And, a little factoid I just learned: -40 degrees is the same temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, ooooh.

Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on October 17, 2010, 07:01:32 AM
I'd LOOOOOOOVE if the USA were to switch to Metric, but I don't think it ever will.  There would be way too many things to change (highways, scales, balances).

In all honesty, I use a combonation of both the supirior Metric system and the outdated Imperial system.

Well, you may not be a USAnian, but you still are an American, as you live on the continent of America!

(A funny thing by the way, is how we Israelis constantly persuade ourselves that we are European. Even though Israel is located in Asia, most Israelis try to ignore that. That's why Israel participates in the Eurovision, and is included in the European leagues of Soccer and basketball.)

That is true, but whenever the continent was named, the 'United States' did not yet exist.

A funny thing by the way, is how we Israelis constantly persuade ourselves that we are European.

That's probably more true then you might think. Concidering that Europeans, some North Americans, most Middle-Eastern peoples, etc. are all of the Caucasoid genus.

Ah, I guess this is why I was asked how tall I was in the other thread...

Well, like I said, I'm around 5'7 or 5'8. I'm overweight, and not really stable at 170. I used to be a stable 165, but somehow I went up 5 lbs and it's move back and forth regardless of exercise or not. >.> So, now I just sit on my ass 24/7, since I don't change much anyway.

6'2", 225 lbs.  Most of that is beer gut.
Title: Re: How tall are you?
Post by: Bloodreign on October 23, 2010, 02:18:33 AM
Heh beer gut at 125 pounds, I weigh as much as you, but I am not 6'2. I have a slight beer gut as well, but I don't drink nearly as much as I did 10-15 years ago.  ;D

I think my gut is more older age spread, that happens in my family, so maybe if I consume more beer, it would shrink back down to normal.
Title: Re: How tall are you?
Post by: PFG9000 on October 30, 2010, 05:50:03 PM
Hah!  Whoops, I meant 225 lbs, not 125.  Slight difference.  I'll go back and change it.

How doesn't it? It's a perfect opportunity to make fun of the U.S. for being one of the few countries to not adopt the metric system, instead relying on our hilariously obtuse standard measurement system.
