ggw, I hang with a few folks from Montclair (not upper, though -- is that the tony section?).  They're in their late 30s...not sure if y'all would know each other.

 And emergency room? WTF? Are you OK?

Nope, shoes off..I'm taller than I look, my wife on the other hand is shorter than she looks. From a distance you'd thnk we're about the same height but I'm over 3" taller than her...weird huh?
 
 The emergency room thing was for a broken wrist..no biggie, except it's some little bone that's a bugger to set evidently so I have to go to an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to do that, so I've been in a temporary splint all week and it hurts mummy!  I like the pain killers they gave me though

OUCH, poormankie. How did you manage that?
 
 I think they were trying to massage your ego with the height thing.

According to this site - http://www.weightchart.org/ - you are way above your ideal weight range.

Well I moved when I was 11 and I'm a little younger, so probably not.  
 
 And if they're from the 07042, well.....lets just say our families probably didn't run in the same circles......

I think I'm gonna skip the poll. I'm too boring, and have nothing witty to say today. Does this mean I'm a loser?

Think of all the opportunities this poll would give you for pimping your girlfriend's band.

I was expecting someone to pass the idiot test when I put my ht/wt up there...I thought it would be either Rhett or GGW and GGW came through for me, thanks man, I knew I could count on you. I obviously don't give a toss though or I wouldn't have posted it...but I will say I ran a marathon weighing 190lbs so you can shove your chart up your arse as far as I'm concerned....Healthy and fitness are more important to me than some anorexic encouraging chart.
 
 As for the height, again I don't really care but they may very well round up or down so I could be 5' 9 5/8"...does it really matter though?
 
 I did the wrist in falling off my bike on Sunday...went round a corner pretty fast and hit some wet leaves. That's twice in three weeks I've gone down with the damn thing...training wheels will probably be under the tree for me this chrimbo!
 
 BTW...it's 'effing pissing it down out here in Dulles.

I got your back - yo.

[markie]

you have a mountain bike or a road bike? And you are using it on the road, right?
 
 If its a Mountain bike, buy slicks for it, if its a road bike, just slow down for wet corners.
 
 Nothings going to help a lot if you hit wet leaves on a corner though.
