Talk about intimidating......yesterday I went to Spokane WA to pick up our son who had visited his sister in New Mexico. They went to Dallas to watch a Stars vs. Penguins hockey game on Sunday.

I went into the Spokane airport and right away noticed several very tall guys lined up at the Northwest Airlines check in..........and one guy was really tall. I mean at least a head above the rest, who were a head above me. Seems there was a AAU tournament in Salt Lake City this past week and these guys were heading for the Twin Cities. Anyway, being me, I went up to several of them and asked, "how tall is Curly there?" (real curly, blond hair) He turned and said "I'm officially 7' 4 3/4 inches, but that depends on the shoes I'm wearing."

I stood next to him and I came up to about his chest....I'm 5'8". I was going to ask him how he fit into the plane cabin, but thought better. His teammates looked like they had just graduated from Maximum Security State U. and I wasn't about to mess with them.

By the time my son came in there were several teams that got off planes or were boarding planes and I suddenly realized that SIZE DOES MATTER!
Man, these guys must take an hour to zip up their flys. :xcensoredx:

Glad I don't have that problem. :thumbright:

That reminds me of when I was a little kid and saw The Spy Who Loved Me when it first came on HBO. Now, keep in mind we weren't allowed to watch R-rated or violent movies, so James Bond was as scary as it got.

Anyways, there was that character Jaws who no matter what you did, you couldn't stop him. He was really scary. James Bond even shot him but it hit him in the mouth and the bullet bounced of his teeth and he kept coming.

I got so scared I hid behind the couch every time Jaws came on screen.

But then I learned James Bond didn't know the correct way to stop Jaws - he should have kicked him in the ding ding. That's what Clint Eastwood did and it worked.

LOL. My big Bro is 6'8". I'm 6'2"

I've never stood beside someone as tall as that. But I've seen the big guys in the NBA at Key Arena here in Seattle.

go.pack.go.......the younger generations, like you, are growing bigger and taller, and without steroids etc. We are the only things on earth that can generate new technology to grow and get stronger. When I was your age, in 1957, I was the height I am now and I was one of the biggest guys on our basketball team. (eighth grade) This past year when I retired from teaching PE, I had several 5th grade girls who were taller than me, and one who was pushing 6 feet. Both her Mom and Dad are well over 6 feet.

Good luck to you. If you stop at 6 feet, learn to shoot 3 pointers. If you keep going, get that drive to the basket down pat.

I just turned 18 and am 6'0, so I guess I won't get much bigger than this.

I do have some 'freak' nephews though. They're brothers and one of them is 18 years old, 6'2, 300 LBs and has enormous feet, size 52 over here, I can't actually find a conversion chart that goes that far.

My other nephew, I think he really could've made a name for himself if he was born in America. He's 16, still growing, but 6'1 already, 320 LBs, size 50 feet aswell, a sick amount of strength and on short sprints, has the same speed as me. (I'm skinny and fragile, but have some good speed and big legs because of playing soccer). He really could've gotten somewhere over there, I think.

Don't know why I'm adding this, just started typing, really. Their feet size reminded me of your story.

Well I'm one of the younger people in my grade, because I'm in 9th (freshman year).

And there's a kid in my grade that's like 6'3" and he's a few months older than I am. (BTW, I'm 210lbs.)

Milk. It's cheap, and the protein is fantastic.

My son is only 14 and he's 6' tall with size 14 shoes. He's just begun to grow. Eats like a pigeon, but goes through a gallon of milk A DAY.

Don't worry, we buy bovine growth hormone free milk. He'd have man boobs if we didn't.
