I ask because I was reminded of some program on BET I caught a bit of many years ago, where the guy was interviewing a tall random on the street and asked if he played basketball; the man said that he did, and the interviewer was relieved and then added that it would have been a waste if he was that tall and didn't play. --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:902321656] in A 7-foot-t...
