Inspired by [Poll For Really Tall People](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=286330)
(and maybe it will encourage answers to that thread)
Post your height if you are over 6 feet.
Me - 6’1 (last time I checked)

Some that was 6’10" or 6’11" started an “Ask the tall guy” thread once. Was that Mullinator?

Shouldn’t there be a male tallest and female tallest?
I’m 5’9 and proud of it. (way above average for a girly)

I’m a mere 6’4", barefoot. That was pretty tall for my generation. One guy in my class grew to 7’. Rather than a basketball hero, he felt like a freak of nature. Born too soon.

I think the longest torso - shortest legs contest was also fun.

Up to 6’5" is just “the high side of normal”. Beyond 6’5" is freakish. (I’m 6’5".)

No, no you’re got it all wrong. 6’3" is just the high side of normal. 6’5" is where freakhood _begins_. To the back of the bus with your Brobdingnagian self. Careful… it’s a little low!
Astro settles into BrotherCadfael’s now free, yet still warm seat.

I’m exactly 6ft tall, but being a girlie that makes me quite tall really. I like standing next to my brother, who at 6ft 7ins makes me feel positively petite.
