Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

What is even happening?

Back when I was working, I had to slack without internet access.
