What happens when a really tall guy shows up? Do they reassign everyone shoes?

[–]giggity 55 points56 points ago

Shit, Andre showed up. ALRIGHT EVERYBODY, C'MON OVER AND LET'S REDO THIS.

[–]toy205 24 points25 points ago

Everybody hates Andre

[–]Jesusthecarpenter 5 points6 points ago

But Andre has a posse.

Does not compute.

[–]Montisa2008 1 point2 points ago

But Everybody Loves Raymond. Until his 7 foot brother comes in :/

[–]jamaicanmefap -1 points0 points ago

Im "Andre"... I never get invited (6'6)

[–]Islandgirl75 0 points1 point ago

You're not alone I'm opposite (5') and its awkward for me too.....

[–]MeThatsLexii 15 points16 points ago

The tall people just don't get invited. 6'2" and under. You're 6'3" nope. Gotta go. You'll kill the mojo.

[–]WarAndRuin 21 points22 points ago

As a guy that is 6'3"...I will go make my own tall party..with booze...and hookers...

[–]CrimsonApostle 6 points7 points ago

and blackjack, coming from another 6'3" here

[–]WarAndRuin 4 points5 points ago

Yes fist bump that the short ones can't reach

[–]TheGrot 8 points9 points ago

until we cut off your legs...

[–]WarAndRuin 3 points4 points ago

You guys already got your own party so shh

[–]ikidd -5 points-4 points ago

Short fuckers.

[–]Dustin- -2 points-1 points ago

6'1 1/2", can I come too?

[–]BurntTheToast 2 points3 points ago

Guys who add 1/2 are just straining for every inch of height. GTFO.

[–]Dustin- -1 points0 points ago

Ok well I'll just round up to 6'2" then. DONE.

[–]BlackDeltaLight 1 point2 points ago

Your kind is not welcomed to this sort of party.

[–]BlackDeltaLight 0 points1 point ago

As someone who also is 6'3'', I concur.

[–]androo87 1 point2 points ago

Everyone was raised to 2M, around 6'7. So I think you would be ok.

[–]ouba 7 points8 points ago

They trim off his legs.

[–]mildly_inappropriate 0 points1 point ago

It's an RSVP thing, it's known beforehand.

I've actually thought this might be cool to check out as an experiment. As a 6' guy, I find it interesting.

[–]TheBaconater 2 points3 points ago

They cut off his legs.

[–]orthag 3 points4 points ago

Yo, Pauly! Get the saws-all!

[–]WithJuiceYouLose 1 point2 points ago

Nah, they just chop off their feet.

[–]valleyman86 0 points1 point ago

I commented on this exact question last time this picture showed up which was surprisingly a long time ago.

Anyhow... Just have a target height that is taller than pretty much anyone (like 7-8ft). Then everyone wheres shoes to fit that height.

[–]bearandtherobot 0 points1 point ago

Randy Newman must be at this party.

[–]rockchucker 86 points87 points ago

The biggest problem I can see here is that the shorter you are the more fucked you are once you get drunk.

[–]lutzj 11 points12 points ago

more fucked indeed

[–]emarkd 33 points34 points ago

I'd go to this. Seems interesting.

Actually, the idea seems interesting. The people in the photo - not so much..

[–]NothingtodohereOGW 17 points18 points ago

It would be more interesting if they were wearing black robes.

[–]UNEification 3 points4 points ago

I think I would want to go, but I'm not sure I'd want to hang out with any of the other people that wanted to go. If that makes any sense.

I'd probably go, get really trashed, and see what happened.

[–]AdamRGrey -1 points0 points ago

judgmental

[–]ryanmcd81 17 points18 points ago

Remind anyone of Harrison Bergeron?

[–]youreintheway 1 point2 points ago

fuck yess! It was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't remember it. I'm kind of glad I was forced to read it/ watch the movie.

Though ironically it is the opposite of the main theme.

[–]new-socks 0 points1 point ago

Haha yep... Means somebody in that party must have a 12 gauge shotgun, though!

[–]fc3s -2 points-1 points ago

Faith in humanity restored.

[–]tothebrothel -5 points-4 points ago

I don't like you.

[–]digitalnexus 3 points4 points ago

I'm fine wth Karma Decay posts, but when there's a bot doing it just feels.. Inorganic. It doesn't have the same passive-aggressive feel to it.

Unless it's just a novelty account in which case it still feels weird.

[–]drunes 28 points29 points ago

Okay, first..

I don't know if you noticed but, this subreddit is WTF.

Second, this is an art installation, for those who are curious-

http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/shoes_that_make_everyone_the_same_height__16220.asp

[–]shorty6049 1 point2 points ago

I'd say it's still a bit WTF (and It's an interesting enough photo/idea that I'm not mad if it's not quite in line with this subreddit) . Its an artist, but the article doesn't exactly say it's an installation. It says he threw a party and the guests wore these shoes, so this was actually a real thing . This weird little party happened . wtf

[–]drunes 1 point2 points ago

When I first read about it, it was presented as an art installation. This is not the exact article but I did a google search of the artist, and yea it can essentially be qualified as an installation piece.

And if you look at it from the context of an art installation, or really as dry as an artists 'experiment' (aka installation in a space), there is no WTF to be had. This is intriguing, not WTF. WTF is gore, disgusting, NSFW content.

[–]Jennnergy 0 points1 point ago

Wtf does not necessarily have to be those few sun genres. Although I do agree that slightly entertaining, this photo didn't make me say wtf. But that's just me.

[–]Garza1 5 points6 points ago

this would actually be a cool experiment

[–]Pandorasbox64 2 points3 points ago

Op....Op....STOP REPOSTING!!!

[–]sonics_fan 2 points3 points ago

When did /r/WTF turn into /r/mildlyinteresting ?

[–]chrisgrizle 1 point2 points ago

Seriously, this post is ridiculous and pathetic.

[–]d3ly 5 points6 points ago

repost

[–]stevenray22 0 points1 point ago

Pff. Forget the Asian.

[–]ivanmarsh 0 points1 point ago

What a pain in the ass every time a taller than everyone else guy walks in.

[–]silentdicksallday 0 points1 point ago

The guy on the left is priceless

[–]ChronnerCage 0 points1 point ago

At least they look cool

[–]mrdoink20 0 points1 point ago

The girl in the middle is fucking tiny.

[–]Villainsoft 1 point2 points ago

Soon to be broken ankle party

[–]Alias28 0 points1 point ago

This is the first picture I saw on reddit almost 2 years ago when I joined.

[–]Frozone470 1 point2 points ago

That awkwardly social guy in the blue hoodie? Yeah I can relate to him most

[–]jjbowman12 1 point2 points ago

6''4"? Pulls out machete slice and dice welcome now :)

[–]nurselady12 -2 points-1 points ago

Stupid does not even describe this event.

[–]pumpmar 1 point2 points ago

oh god they would have to put about a 12 inch shoe on me just to get me in line with the 6 footers

[–]jobotslash 0 points1 point ago

Not the place for this. Maybe /r/pics?

That aside, from what I have read it is an art installment, and it makes an interesting point. In our culture, a lot of value is placed on height. If you ever get an opportunity, I believe Quirkology had a chapter about it. Pretty interesting stuff.

[–]scuzzytoast 1 point2 points ago

I don't know if it's just skewed perspective, but that seems like a really short table for this situation.

[–]llortllortllort 0 points1 point ago

Sure, you'll be at equal height, but the short people are still at a disadvantage. They're less stable, so they have to worry about that, while tall people don't. And this is a repost, and not really that strange.

[–]omtopus 0 points1 point ago

Girl on the right is RUINING this party

[–]cunninglinguist81 0 points1 point ago

Sadly, the women at said party were reduced to two criteria: dark and handsome.

[–]psychedtodie 1 point2 points ago

Totally reminds me of Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron".

[–]Bobbycoxtat 1 point2 points ago

Whatever you do, don't credit the artist, cock smoker.

[–]thomas849 0 points1 point ago

As someone who is 6'8, I wish every party was like this.

[–]Hurf_Durfington 0 points1 point ago

STOP POSTING THIS HERE YOU SHITFACE

[–]CoyoteStark 0 points1 point ago

I really need to patrol /new more often.

[–]eat_fish 0 points1 point ago

Nope. Broken ankle party.

[–]Odd666future 0 points1 point ago

How is this wtf? By just how many times it's been reposted?

[–]why_not_agnosticism 0 points1 point ago

The idea of a party where I can never sit down is kind of scary.

[–]bennycabrillo -1 points0 points ago

this photo doesn't measure up

[–]Jooligan -1 points0 points ago

This is genius, now if ur short u got better shots with women
