Heightened Awareness

In lieu of answering the question, "Hey, you're pretty tall, just how tall are you?" ever again, I'm just going to post a few thoughts about what it is like to be 6'6". Just in case you were wondering.

Tall People Thought #1: There are a lot of spiderwebs in this world... and an inordinate amount of them happen to get stuck to my face. Man, I wish there were more tall people around clearing these things out so I didn't have to. Short people probably never have to frantically swipe cobwebs and and quite possibly thousands of baby spiders out of their hair.

Tall People Thought #2: Tall people do recognize each other in crowds. And yes, we do nod our heads in silent mutual respect. We have a kind of unspoken club... and no, you can't join... not even if you wear stilts.

Tall People Thought #3: Whenever I spot another person of 6'6" or so my first thought is, "Holy Jebus! That is one tall mutherhumper. Man... that guy is like... freakishly tall." Then I realize he's looking at me the same way. Then we both silently nod in mutual recognition. Respect to alla my freaky brothers.
