Re: Help Genia Get Taller and Win Another Prize

Only problme with platform shoes or heels:

My natural grace (or lack thereof) doesn't allow for such things...they simply leave me closer to the ground than I already would be.

Re: Help Genia Get Taller and Win Another Prize

I remember Titus and his hover crafts, maybe they can help lift you up, or maybe get a freshman and have then get on all fours and stand on there back.
But for someone with energy like you try jumping up and down alot when you are near people, then the last thought in there head will be how short you are.

Re: Help Genia Get Taller and Win Another Prize

You could just try walking around on your toes, but that might get tiring and start to hurt after a while.


or just get a taller DDR pad!

Re: Help Genia Get Taller and Win Another Prize

You can get these things stuck in your leg and turn 'em everyday and get like 6 inches taller in a year....but it looked painful. I saw it on the Discovery Channel for the "little people". If that doesn't work, hang off of an old 2004 center bar with weights on your ankles!

as long as no part of you or the weights are bearing weight on the platform below or the vertical bars, you should be considered legal. if you were tall itd be harder because you need to bend your knees or sumthing. but not too many people are that tall.
easiest way to get taller other than all those other ways everyone posted is to get snagged by a robot and let the robot swing you around FAST

Re: Help Genia Get Taller and Win Another Prize

My honest remedy (being between 5 feet even and 5'2' depending on where i am, and what measuring tape) is to use it to your advantage.
Being short allows you to not only go unnoticed by the tall people, but also amazingly good a finding good hiding places. Free rides (piggyback, etc) are also an advantage to being short. It also helps then the lift the robot to do work, and you're the quickest one under it, since you're lowest.
The thing that has made me grow, sleep, lots of it, and a lot of milk.
Also, stretching, and exercise. Does amazing things.
stop thinking about it, that sometimes helps

try not to stand next to the tall people, and if you do, get a chair, table, stool, etc to stand on

But being short does not help you ride a chopper (even a mini-chopper).
