Wait. You boat? That's rad. We should boat sometime. I don't paddle as much as I used to, but still get out about 20 days a year.

I probably made it out 60 times last year in Portland. Just moved to an area with no rivers. So boating is going to be limited to a couple weeks a year. Dusted off the mountain bikes to have something to do, but doesn't come close to boating. I wish I lived in Jackson. I have a buddy in Jackson that is an awesome boater. I mostly stick to class III/III+. Mostly learned on the SF of the American.

Nice. Yeah I'm a class 3 boater as well. Jackson is good but used to be better. What's your buddies name in jackson? I wonder if I know him.

I am a rarity. I am the only midget I know of that is over six feet tall. My best friend's brother's sister is my dog.

I have met 4 Senator's outside of work, including one I did not want to meet. (At a function and the wife and I tried to sneak out but Orrin "I wear make-up all day, every day" Hatch B-lined across the room to shake our hands. And fwiw, John McCain is a midget under 6 feet tall. I also addressed congress on a proposed rule on behalf of a cabinet level department, and received an award for my effort.

I won a kissing contest. I have lived in eight states. I drink Scotch, because it is tasty. I played in a regular lunch bball game with many former NBA players (they were all in their 50s and 60s at the time, as well as intl and college bball). I wanted to, but never got the chance to play at the highest court in thE land (yes, there is a full bball court inside the Supreme Court).

I whitewater kayak when I can, but work takes up most of my life these days. I also know a few members on here, but I don't think anyone knows who I am. I had a different username before the server crash.

Funny, I feel like this is not the 1st time you wrote this. How is it possible to be over 6 feet tall and still call yourself a midget? A spinal condition that is similar like the neck part?

I actually saw it on Nightstand with Dick Dietrich a long time ago. It was a satire on the Jerry Springer type talk show. At the break where these shows ask questions like: "are you bullied?" or "is your spouse cheating?", if so call and be on our show. The DD show asked: "are you a midget over 6 ft. tall? If so call to be on the show!" There actually was a person that was a midget that became a giant.

Still, at slightly over 6 feet tall I was the shortest player on my team and was called midget by a few of them, so I guess I am a midget. I went from the tallest player to shortest going from 8th to 9th grade. LOL.

And truthfully told, my best friend's brother's sister is my dog...
 
Whoever dug this thread up, we'll done. It was fun to skim through it again.

Almost 35 years old
6'0"
I weigh about a half a metric ton
Born and raised in Utah
Visited all over the west, including a week in Alaska doing nothing but fishing (I think I got about 15 hours of sleep total over that week, but I literally don't remember the flight home)
Served a mission in Tegucigalpa, Honduras from 97-99
Married my high school sweetheart in 2000
Have 4 kids: Girls ages 9 and 3, boys ages almost 6 and almost 2
My kids activities took away my hobbies. Now I spend my time watching them play sports. My oldest daughter plays competition level soccer and my oldest boy plays just about every sport under the sun. When I happen to find some free time, I like to do anything outdoors and in the mountains.
I'm a Journeyman Electrician by trade. Thinking seriously about obtaining my Master Electrician license so I can finally fire (retire) my dad and take over the company.
I made the final table (top 5 overall finish) in Gameface's poker league. He should do that again.
Big time BYU fan. I think all Ute fans are mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, beer throwing, gas pumping, waste of my oxygen. They should be outlawed.

Not much had changed, except that Gameface doesn't do poker anymore (RIP), we're now expecting our sixth kid, and we're starting the process of taking over the company and retiring my dad.
