I unwittingly facilitated a fling between a chief basketball player, and a former co-worker, during a summer job. Okay, that sounds more exciting than it actually was, but he used to call for her, and I would answer the phone, and get her. I never got to meet him, though. At the same job, I was once covering the reception desk, and doing some project at the same time. Sensing someone had approached the desk, I looked up, right about into Dave Cowans' belly. It took a long time to look all the way up to his face. I think he was about 6'6" or 6'7".
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
yeah but some people may not mind it and you, missy, are not the boss of them.
Says who??
I'm trying to remember how tall my jackass boss was, because he seemed impossibly tall at first, but I got used to it pretty quick. NOT that I was making out with jackass boss. Jackass.

A friend of mine once had a several-month relationship with a guy who claimed he was a pro basketball player. Turned out he was lying, though.

6'6" is too tall for anyone shorter than say 6 feet.
Pshaw. I mean, bit of a crick in the neck, yes, but other than that, pshaw. And I'm with ita. I had a friend who was 6'8" -- definitely in the range of "Wow! Tall!" but not, like, bizarrely so.

I meant I'm the boss of you. And them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think 6'8 is where I top out and start looking at guys funny. A 6'3/4 guy sassed me the other day when I mentioned a groin strain. I reminded him I could still kick him in the face when injured -- I just wouldn't enjoy it as much. The onlooker said I went over his head, but she's really short, so I think it was an angle thing.
Which is why 6'6 isn't gigantic to me -- 6'8 is as far up as I can get my toes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
6'7" is only 127% of my height. That doesn't sound so gigantic.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oooh! I like this definition! If ita can kick you in the face when injured your tallness is in reasonable parameters.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think this is underestimating how much I could slack back when I was working.
