What would you change about yourself physically?

[Riptide]

I want to jump an Australian hurdler.

 

[micropolitan guy]

The same knees and hips I had at 16.

Well, this is awkward. :-\

Get in line, big boy. :-X

It's funny, I'm 6-3, but I would have killed to be 6-5 or 6-6.

I would have liked to keep my hair a little longer. I'm far from bald, but my hairline started receding pretty quickly as soon as I got into my late 20s.

Eh, I'm 6'5" and it's not all it's cracked up to be. First you get the constant "Damn, you're tall! How tall are you?" questions. Then you get one or more of the following responses:

1. "Do you play basketball?" If not, the inevitable follow-up is, "why not?"
2. "No, you're taller than that/not that tall. My son/daughter/mom/cousin/father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate is 6'5" and he's way taller/shorter than you."

And yet, you're not allowed to go the other way with it. If I ask, "Damn, you're short! How short are you? Are you a gymnast/jockey?" then I'm an asshole.

Being smart and good looking probably would have had some benefits, but I've managed to muddle through.

 

[Vombatus]

I would like to not have asthma, and to not be allergic to peanuts.

Going to games and being affected by the airborne peanut residue is a bummer.

So sure, someone is now going to start making fun of people with peanut allergies.

Go ahead, assholes.
::)

 

[Buck]

You are affected by airborne peanut residue?
I hope you realize that nature did not intend for you to last this long. Treasure the time you have and do not breed.

 

[X-Hack]

I'd like to be taller. I'm 5-6. I'd be happy with 5-9 or 5-10. Just average height would be fine. Not so tall or short that its a noticeable trait.

 

[Buck]

I'd also like to have a big penis but still be Irish.

 

[X-Hack]

Is that possible?

 

[Buck]

No

That and seating sucks as well. Short cars generally are not made for tall people (I'm 6'4"), neither ar back seats, arena seating (especially the older buildings) or airplanes.

 

[HandsomeHarley]

I can only imagine how different better my life would have been if I were 6 foot 4.

 

[SoCalScribe]

How about no gray hair? That's probably something a lot of us can be on board with, right?

Oh, and straight teeth. I meet people who have perfect teeth and never had braces and I really envy that.

 

[Hokie_pokie]

I'd also like to have a big penis but still be Irish.

This made me laugh. I, too, am a (otherwise) proud Irishman.

Nothing personal, Vombatus, but this made me laugh loudly.

And yet, you're not allowed to go the other way with it. If I ask, "Damn, you're short! How short are you? Are you a gymnast/jockey?" then I'm an asshole.

As did this.

And this.

Good work on this thread, folks. :)

 

[novelist_wannabe]

If the Texans win the Super Bowl, it's on.

Now there's a reason to follow sports. [/crossthread]

Also, wouldn't it be off? Just sayin'

Also II, outing alert: Lieslntx is Flash!

 

[spikechiquet]

I have horrible skin. I was on experimental drugs in high school to control my acne. Now, 35 years old, and still have three zits on my face.
I'd also like to be less French...I mean hairy. If I could have all the hair on my back on my head...I'd be set! LOL

 

[amraeder]

I have freakishly small hands. Like carny hands. My ex was roughly 5 feet tall and her hands were as big as mine. It's awful. I can't really throw a NFL-sized football. I can't palm a basketball. Hell, I can barely palm a tennis ball.

 

[Vombatus]

Not to be cruel (I am on the receiving end of some of this, see above) but anyway, your comment makes me want to ask: You can still palm Rosie, yes?
