Why do some tall people feel the need to sit in front of the shortest person they can find?

Hey, watch it. Some tall people may be just looking for an open seat.

ummm, the Piglet movie is nice.

Are you saying if I have kids, I can't smoke dope anymore? What if I adopt? Foster kids?

And the key to avoiding the $5 soda is to carry a purse. A big one.

Six feet tall! Whoa! Fortunately people six feet tall are pretty rare. I once met a guy who was 6' 3"! Poor guy, everyone was staring at him!

Big-haired women are also a problem. Once, I tripped in the aisle and accidently landed my hand right on the beehivey 'do of the women in front of me. Left a dent about 2 feet deep but at least I could see the rest of the movie.

Too bad that doesn't work with you tall guys.

Then again, I can get wiggle my way through the crowd leaving in about 2 seconds while all the tall people are still stuck back in the aisles.

It would be, but unfortunately, due to budget crunches and whatnot, I'm not going to Taxapalooza this year.

I may get into town a bit later for some real work. If so, I'll let you know. Otherwise you can just blow me off again NEXT year.

Hey--thanks Wonk!! I thought they were appropriate for our situation. Sorry you're not going to make it here any time soon. Bummer.

Bummer about the missing of Taxapalooza. I do not recall blowing you off. I have hung out with you twice, right, which would mean that I havent blown you off.

Yeah, what she said. Sorry. I guess I need to adjust the dosage again. :shrug:

Speaking of being tall, I read in a magazine (Marie Claire with XTina on the cover?) about the new trend in China of leg lengthening (by breaking the bones and drilling holes to stimulate recalcification while pulling apart the broken pieces to add length). You've probably heard of people with deformed limbs (like severely uneven legs) undergoing this surgery to lengthen the leg bones and add height in extreme circumstances, but this article was saying it is looked at as about the same as getting a boob job.

In China, the article explained, taller people are considered more beautiful and powerful, and many jobs (including government jobs) have height requirements. One of the profiled women was undergoing the very painful surgery to land a job as a flight attendant. She hoped to gain four inches, which would make her 5'3". The procedure has improved so that people no longer must lay in bed for the year and a half plus it takes for the bones to regenerate and solidify in order to bear the weight of the body.

Yikes.

I thought pretty much all movie theaters had stadium seating now. I love going to the movies, but except for kiddie films, we see only maybe two or three a year (which is why I'm so disappointed I wasted a night out on Chicago). Tix, popcorn, a modest dinner and a sitter add up.

Last movie--Agent Cody Banks. Next movie--What a Girls Wants.

Oh, and whyizzit that considering we hardly ever see a new movie, we can never find anything we want to rent?
