Just when I thought I was tall

Posted By Hup | September 17, 2009

Being 6′6″ (when I’m not slouching over) gets me all kinds of “Man, you’re tall!” and “How tall are you?” comments from those in the world who seem to think of me as some sort of giant freak. But, just to show you that I could ask another guy the same questions, I wanted to show all of you the above photo of the tallest man alive that my buddy Stu sent me a link to last night. Not only is the photo and article pretty funny, but being that Stu is from across the pond in the UK he has quite a way with words (as you can read in his email to me below):

Subject: Hup = short arse

In comparison to this guy http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/8259728.stm

I feel short around Hup, i would feel like a smurf around this bloke!

Thanks to Stu for actually making me feel short for once — it doesn’t happen very often.

      that link is bad (the text is fine, but the actual url is wonky)

      also, i’m curious what feeling short has to do with your 50 goals of 2009

      Wow, I was really off my game on this post — thanks for cracking the whip on me, Swell. All should be fixed now, masta’. :)

    What do you want to tell us, hmmm?
