I just beat out **Sqwerticus** in the girly category - 6’ 1/2". My brother’s only about 6’ 2", though. ---

I’m 6’9, my brother is 6’4 or some such. On the bright side, while my wife is merely 5’6, I have freakishly long arms that allow our hands to be at the exact right height to hold hands while we’re walking 🙂 ---

6’1 But I’m pretty tall for an Asian dude. 🙂 Bonus points for me. ---

Also 6’2", and I also think **Mullinator** would win this one, with **Giraffe** a VERY respectable second. ---

5’6", but I need to lose some weight. Can we work up some prize for height X width or diameter or something? ---

Man, I should have checked the boards this weekend. For the purposes of this thread, I stand at 6’9.5", although if asked in real life I’ll vary between saying 6’9 or 6’10. Once you reach a certain point, the specifics just don’t matter a heck of a whole lot. ---

Yeah, Mullinator has been described as being “part tree.” ---

> [@spoke-](#): > > 6’4" I thought for sure you were taller than that. But often, when I try to guesstimate, I lose your head in the clouds. I’m 5’7" and male, and therefore have no business posting in this thread. ---

> [@Risha](#): > > I just beat out **Sqwerticus** in the girly category - 6’ 1/2". My brother’s only about 6’ 2", though. I have a _serious_ thing about women over six feet. That’s probably because, at 6’2", I’m about the same height as all the women in my family and shorter by several inches than most of the men. ---

We gotta form a basketball team. (Or at least get together and be mistaken for one.) We couldn’t be any worse than the Hawks. I’ll email you about trivia, assuming your mail is in your profile.
