Re: Short People Unite
Please people, let's get things right. We live in a politically correct world. The proper terminology is " Vertically Challenged". To identify yourself you could aways put VC on your signature. This would allow us normal people to be sure that we don't become offensive and insensitive. :rolleyes:

Re: Short People Unite
Since half of the FIRST events I've gone to this season have involved Big Mike, I feel inclined to join you. Hopefully the 6'0" thing doesn't faze you. ;)

Re: Short People Unite
Now, if you really want to get politically correct, let me present myself in a more positive light than "Vertically Challenged."
First of all, short people are not actually challenged. We are in fact, very very very skilled at obtaining family-size individuals to help us reach things and or put us into tall locations. Some of these family-size individuals are people, others are inanimate objects. It varies. I pride myself in the following descriptive phrases - Snack Size Fun Size Travel Size Bite Size Mini Size Yum Size Frolic Size Snack size is a personal favorite, as I am eating a snack presently. |

I am 5 feet 1/2 inch and have freckles. It is crazy because my best friend is 6'3" so we get laughed at every time we stand next to each other. |
Re: Short People Unite
I'm sure most of you are just late growers, I was like 5'1 when I was 14, now I'm 15 and 5'7.
|
Re: Short People Unite
yup 5 2 right here.. good thing i;m going to be a junior... haha oh well at least i already hit my growth spurt.. you know..
but it matters not bc short people are the best anyway i mean lets think of napoleon here |
Re: Short People Unite
I hit my growth spurt. I'm done growing. I'm doomed to be shorter than 5'6.
|
Re: Short People Unite
Im 5'3" and ive come to realize this. Were shorter because our brains our so important! Think if we fall down our heads have less distance to fall so in a way our shortness is to protect our vast intelegence! :D

Re: Short People Unite
I'm only 5'1 and I doubt I'm getting much taller!
|
Re: Short People Unite
YEah... ok..
|
Re: Short People Unite
i'm 5' 3"... like a lot of people! ^_^ i was so excited because last year (Triple Play) i was exactly the height of the goals (with the exception of the center one)... my height actually came in handy at various times during build season... it just invoved me standing very still and praying i'd still have hair by they time whoever was done with whatever they were doing. :p
|
Re: Short People Unite
I'm 5'1" and proud of it. I am not short, I am just conveniently packaged. :D
|
Re: Short People Unite
I'm representing the 5'0" girls here..i'm a junior an i still dont think i've had my grow spurt..haha kinda sad, but as i'm always told "great things come in small packages!" :D I'm not really sad about being short because we have our advantages..an besides when i'm able to reach the tetras of Triple Play i'm satisfied. I'm used to really tall people, an i get called so many names, but it doesnt phase me anymore. I'm proud of who i am. I love getting underestimated by people an having them surprised when i do sumthing they think i cant. ;) Power to them all!
|
Re: Short People Unite
short people unite?
then they can add up to someone taller....... ;) 75" and proud Nyeah! WC :cool: |
Re: Short People Unite
Freshman in college and 5' even
and i was told in 8th grade i was pretty much done growing...:ahh: although there is hope for some, my brother was short in high school, around junior and senior year he grew a LOT and is now taller than my dad.....he's now 21 and 5' 8" maybe? My brother's Ogre, and i'm actually his sister, maybe when I go home we'll take a height comparison picture, just for CD :D I enjoy being short, it makes me who I am, as being in FIRST did and as my new conquest, Eckerd College Search and Rescue will...... |
Re: Short People Unite
Man, I'm disappointed. All the negativity the VC ( I don't know Steve, that makes me think of Viet Cong. I guess they were short too...) has put up with, and they aren't even politically correct. I'm only a few (9) inches too big, and the rest of of "talls" feel left out! Where's your "tall clause" in the club??? The minority shall unite!
|
Re: Short People Unite
I am seventeen and 5'3.5! I had a growth spurt over the summer and gained nearly two inches--> so much for the doctor saying i was done growing @ 14!
|
Re: Short People Unite
17 years old, 6'3" and proud!!! You and me andrew, tall people unite!!!
JT P.s. I really do hope I stop growing, I cant see under the clock in the middle drivers station at competition. Dave, can we get some taller drivers stations? Please? ;-) |
Re: Short People Unite
Our family is generally short. All the women on my mother's side are 5'5 and shorter. I guess it's the French in us? oO? Napoleon complex.
I don't know. I guess I like being "short". o_o It's bad when I need to pull the chain on lights, or reach stuff high up. However, when I need to assemble/disassemble boxs or various components I can fit into small places.. And my hands are smaller to. ^_^ That helps a lot, especially with electrical stuff. |
Re: Short People Unite
Hi!!! I'm short too... 4'10.5.. yes.. the .5 is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! i agree.. its totally great for electrical and programming! my fav. nickname yet is smidgey.. it just has a ring to it lol
|
Re: Short People Unite
Yeah i think i am like 5'0 exactly. I think about Genia and lisa's height. yeahh family! :D
-Court- |
Re: Short People Unite
There is hope! It may have taken 4 years but I have grown a whole 1/4 of an inch! Short people may still grow!
|
Re: Short People Unite
you're a meanie, cokeley.
|
Re: Short People Unite
Well, I'm 5'2", and I don't think I'll be getting much taller. My mom is 4'11", my dad's mom is 4'11" as well, and his oldest sister is 4'9". But being short does have it's highs and lows (no pun intended:D) like I can get under tables to plug things in, and fit into really small spaces to fix things.

I do love using those descriptive phrases! As well, when it becomes necessary to justify my height, I enjoy informing people that I can play hide-and-seek FOREVER! :D Quote:
