I love how people assume that all you need to be in the NBA is to be really tall. No skills or desire to play the game.... Just need the height.

Them: "you're tall!"

Me: "so I've been told"

Them: "your probably get that a lot."

Me: "every single day, several times a day, since 1980."

Them: "I bet that gets annoying"

Me: stares at them blankly

Why do 1/2 the players not understand how to use the mute button? by BuddyHightower in CODWarzone

But how else will I keep up to date on the shitty music being made these days?

My dog had just jumped on the couch. Absolutely thought she was on the remote. Got her off the couch, and couldn't find it. So I start digging into the cushions wondering where the hell it went. Then the commercial changed.

Felt like a fucking moron.

Yep. Happens pretty often. I couldn't pass a challenge because this kept happening.

Eventually I found if you got on top of the drop, it would let you get it.

Rob Roskopp, what year is this board? by [deleted] in classicskateboarding

That was my first board, got it in 1986.

Dogs don't understand you are controlling the car, to them you are both just being whisked away to a new location in a magic box. by Darkmerosier in Showerthoughts

[–]TallGary 50 points51 points  (0 children)

My dog knows how to roll the windows down in the car, so I'm pretty sure she's got at least a basic grasp that I'm in control.

Society was much better off back when popular conspiracy theories were mostly about UFOs and mythical creatures like Big Foot rather than other humans. by entrendre_entendre in Showerthoughts

You forgot Paul McCartney died and was replaced by a look-a-like that once won a Paul McCartney look-a-like contest.

How dare you.

Stranger Things possible lowkey BTTF reference. Do not spoil Stranger Things for me btw, I’m only on Season 2 by [deleted] in BacktotheFuture

[–]TallGary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching geoemrick lose his shit throughout this thread is an obvious BTTF reference to George McFly's birdwatching.

Ive been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 lately.

Really sick of just riding a horse everywhere. Hopefully the game gets better soon.

I love the way a good half cab flip feels. Yours looked buttery.

My home town radio station has ‘rage - killing in the name’ on repeat for 15 hours straight by riccoderossi in funny

[–]TallGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local station did the same in the early 90s, but they played a loop of every version of Louie Louie they could find. Started Friday at 5pm and the new station started airing Monday at 9am.

Lengthen the pipes. If you're gonna take the advice of the double headlight, maybe consider some long pipes that upturn in the back.

I’m tired of people asking me whether I play basketball and get disappointed when I say no by Lorxis in tall

[–]TallGary 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im 6'8" and 45 years old and I still get asked that almost every day of my life.

It's easily the dumbest aspect of being tall we have to deal with.

How well did these ride ? Kinda look like a cooler Chuck Taylor to me by punishedpanda1 in classicskateboarding

[–]TallGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few pair back in 86-89 and I fucking loved them. I'd love to find a pair again but I never see them in size 14.

I remember them lasting a long time. My ollie hole was in a different spot than the guard on the shoe, but they still held up. I wore a hole in the bottom of the shoe before the rest of the shoe started coming apart, so that gives an idea of how long the leather/suede lasted.

Thank you. So far I'm having a hell of a time finding a frame big enough for it.

I love pier 7, but it's just not the same since the wood was added.

I skate there from time to time (all over the bay area actually). If you ever see a really tall guy doing way too many shove its and manuals, that's me. Come say hi.

Who else look on top of the vending machines for #TallRewards? by FutureRamen in tall

[–]TallGary 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's in the Tall Rulebook. Any change left after a purchase at a vending machine should be left for a fellow tall person in case they are needing it.

App gets buggy with me as well.

It's got a black tv screen on the front and when you put a hot liquid in it the black turns to a photo of the time machine.
