Well, I'm 5'2, so I guess I would be considered tall in Oompa Loompa Land. But rugged??? I like to think I don't resemble that remark...

I'm not handsome. I'm not tall. I'm not rugged either. Tough as fucking nails doesn't count, and that I am.

Too many theories...so little truth. Go figure.

Maybe once upon a time that was true, but since then CHers have mutated to all sorts of sizes and shapes .... Why, just look at Jonny and Chewy ;;D

It is hard to conceive any bias CH manages to determine when it chooses to afflict going by this board's greatly abundant participating voices. We all have different characteristics, a few may coincide with what has been denoted, but seems assuredly happenstance and serendipity and the least relevant remark in the article to have drawn attention to except for purposes of pointing out a seemingly absurd detail within.

BarbD posted this the other day about something her neighbor had said to her and I thought ...she's right. !!!!

" I"ve been telling her about my clusterbuds on ch.com and she thinks you're all a bunch of nutz. She has migraines and can't imagine having "fun" with migrainers. "

I'm tall, if rugged means looks like he's been dragged through life on the tail of a horse on fire, me too. If they through the word 'handsome' in there- I'd have to pass.

Dave is 5'8" but I like the rugged discription... sounds good... the lionlike facial qualities is also kinda true about Dave he has great bone structure...

I especially couldnt figure out the idea that its predominately black people that get it though. How many black people do we have on the board... just a handful... hmmmmmmmmmm

I'm normal height, but have been called "rugged"

Maybe they meant "ragged"

Sorry Jim...I've met you and you ARE tall, rugged looking and handsome. Sorry to prove you wrong and if I can ever figure our how to post a pic of our get-together, then everyone else will know too.

Stop stooping over the toilet it subtracts at least 6 inches from you. I should know. I am normally stretching at 5'....scrubbing a toilet bent over, I am a gargoyle. :-/ and standing under the table with Mastiff. sigh...
