Hi.

Sometimes I think about how I wish I was a bit taller. But then quickly I realize the advantages of being short. Low center of gravity, hard to knock off balance, superior acceleration and able to quickly go for the knees to bring down an opponent.
 
That reminds me of that stupid Skee-Lo song. "I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller..."
 
Stop Rappa... just... stop.

And I love being tall, It's easier to spot stuff from a distance!
 
I wish I was taller. It sucks that I have to get a stepstool to reach half the stuff in my kitchen. :( Kinda funny though, I'm actually tall in my family, thanks to my non-Italian mom. Only my half-Irish cousins are taller than me, lol.
 
So last night I was in a merit party that had two Red Mages, it lasted for two hours. I had Haste a total of 3 times. I had to ask for it each time. Did I mention that since they all sucked I was tanking every single mob, 100% of the time?

Now I'm in another merit party with a Red Mage and Bard. The bard is casting accuracy songs and the Red Mage refuses to haste me. I've asked twice and he never responds, but he speaks english and hastes the Ninja.

And people wonder why I hate meriting.
 
Vergill. He let the ninja die three times, I would've died a few times if it weren't for Chakra. That's what happens when you don't cure nor haste the blink tankers.

I saw him haste the Ninja three times, and it was easy to count because his refresh and haste macros had /p chat in them.

All Rappa did was make a thread about stuff everyone already knew. Why does it matter who posts it?

Rappa making a thread saying that Jyak was being a dumbass is akin to making a thread about a dunes party having a noob in it.

Its pretty common knowledge that its true and you'd be hard pressed to find someone to disagree with it.

So why is it not good to make a thread about a dunes pt, but the flame on jyak is all well and good?

6'0 last I checked, I may have shrunk. Remember I'm a basketball player, so I do round up. I've also stayed within 10 lbs + or - of my weight in highschool ever since. 172 then, about 168 now. I'd also like to try the Jared diet only do it for an ad campaign for McDonalds...6 months of only quarter pounders, and not gain a pound. McDonalds would pay me billions.

Also, rappa got served!

/can't wait for rappa's response.

And finally, aud I will read your hockey stories, but I'm gonna have to do it in chunks to get through wall-o-text

Some interesting medical facts:
-Muscle strength is determined by the cross-sectional area of the muscle, not it's length. That means that having longer muscles, i.e. being taller, is of no advantage when it comes to strength.
-Humans are built for speed, not strength. The insertion of all of our muscles are on the end of the shorter lever-arm (with the joint being the fulcrum). This means that our muscles are actually at a mechanical disadvantage compared to the force of gravity, which is typically what is on the other end of the lever-arm. Therefore, being taller increases the mechanical advantage of gravity (makes you proportionally weaker per pound). It would tend to make you faster, except that you now have to accelerate a larger mass with more inertia, and so there really isn't a notable speed increase.

As it stands, humans are among the fastest animals on earth when it comes to our limbs (not running, which is mostly determined by strength). Despite all the hype about snakes (for example), the upper limb movements of humans have been clocked at approximately 7 times the speed of a snake strike. Our reflexes suck compared to most the the rest of the animal kingdom, but that's another story.
 
Newsflash, most RDM suck. You should pt with me! Me on RDM and Rappa on BRD = success.

And Makelith is an idiot. Rappa wont have to try hard in a response.
 
I could deal with being a lil slower, I'd still like to be 3" taller. <_<

I'll go WAR! Or NIN, whatever! Guess I should be doing bow merits eventually.
 
We had some pretty rockin' parties. Even when we had Gotter pulling on his BLU. It's the people, not the jobs that matter. It would be so much fun to put together a party with people from here.
