    I was 6’ tall in 7th grade, and no, I wasn’t held back. I’m still 6’ tall now. I didn’t do any vertical growing after the summer between 6th/7th grades.

        Good question. I didn’t have occasion to test it. If we assume a good herd dog is roughly equivalent to Joe Rogan in his prime, I likely would have died though, yeah.

          …wait, are we rewriting Rogan into a top fighter, now? He didn’t even compete after his teenage years, did he?

          Not saying I could get as close as even touching the man, to be clear, but let’s not act like he fought professionally for years

            wtf, really? I always remember him being close in size to contestants on fear factor. Was that all trickery, or did I just never notice?

              its a meme but also yeah pretty much. camera angles help a lot. he was on some sasquatch show and it was comical how small he looked compared to the other ppl. but mostly its a meme to say he’s literally 5’3"
