It is at times like this when I wish I were tall.
I'm watching the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championships. Some of these women are gorgeous. Most of them are REALLY TALL (to me anyway).

1. I'm 5'6" and a guy, so I am
2 inches below average, but I never think of myself as short. How about you?

2. Actually I'm about average height.
But at sometimes I FEEL shorter than average, particularly in crowds at concerts.

6. I truly believe
that how "short" you are and how "old" you are are mental things. I don't think of myself as short (5'6"), or old (41). My mental image of my age is late teens, early twenties.

3. You never know...
Maybe a taller man is exactly what they don't want.

And just imagine where your face would end up resting...

::sticks fingers in ears::

Coach Cook will kick their asses in the timeout. No worries.

Meanwhile, how fucking dumb do the Huskies fans look? "I think I shall cut open a volleyball and place it on my head...no, that's cool enough. I shall also stick pom poms in it. Yes, that's it. Now I look hot."

BTW, I have just drank 1/4 bottle of...water! Wheeee!

Good luck with the water. Tomorrow...SALTINES!!! :hug:

Oh yeah, you're right. The UW fans have, um, interesting attire.

16. Well, I suppose an Aggie would know...
what it looks like to get one's ass kicked. :evilgrin:

We're still up by one. Patience, Iago.

17. LOL - trust me, I know the receiving end of an ass-kicking when I see one.
Does volleyball have rally caps?

18. Ok, ok...so...
there's always next year. Remember, most of the Huskers are sophomores. Oh...and...the finals are in Omaha next year. ;)

26. I love your homer-ism!

Let's insult Michigan in preparation for the bowl game (same stadium, too - hope there's no bad karma). :D

28. Michi-who?
Ooooh, that "team" my Huskers are playing in the Alamo Bowl!

I'm not worried about karma. The volleyball team won there a few days ago.

Yo, Michigan...

32. That it is

Speaking of which...Boise State?? I knew I didn't like them for some reason...

33. Yeah, I don't like officially hiring a guy when his team is in a bowl.
Edited on Sat Dec-17-05 08:13 PM by GOPisEvil
So, now Colorado's coach is coaching Boise St. in their bowl game?

CU will turn Hawkins into jerk in no time. It happens to them all. ;)

Thank (insert diety of your choice or not) that CU isn't coming to San Antonio. We (even us former residents) LIKE Husker fans.

29. Oh, you mean the dead rat on his lip?
Someone needs to tell him that the Miami Vice look is SO 1986.

I kept wanting them to show his feet...I really miss loafers w/ no socks. ;)

Over 6' tall. I never really cared whether the man I dated was taller than me or not, as long as I was treated right!
