Re: How tall is Hisao ?
Oh yeah it was fucking hilarious. He just suddenly said "Will you stop squeezing my arse? This isn't the time." I pointed out that I wasn't and then suddenly "HO SHIT!" and he freaked out. The look on the Japs face was brilliant though, you've never seen someone so shocked.Leotrak wrote:I lol'd at this Guy gets groped, girl gets accused of groping XDWrench Wench wrote: The first: My partner had a guy grope him thinking he was a girl.

The police were very apologetic once it was all figured out which was surprising. But still the language barrier was such a pain.
Re: How tall is Hisao ?
In a country where millions ride the trains every day and some people take advantage to grope in the crush it must have happened a time or three before. Getting publicly caught by a foreigner (possibly on a train he commutes on daily) was probably more of a shock than finding out it was a guy he was fondling.Wrench Wench wrote:Oh yeah it was fucking hilarious.

Re: How tall is Hisao ?
To be fair I was kind of surprised my partner was so freaked by the experience. He's normally so detached from most things it's surprising to see him freak out over a middle aged Jap fondling him.Bara wrote:In a country where millions ride the trains every day and some people take advantage to grope in the crush it must have happened a time or three before.

That girl who claimed I molested her was such a pain in the ass though. Obviously digging for cash.
Re: How tall is Hisao ?
Well they got penalties and fines for groping; do they have the same for false claims? I doubt it would be provable in court to show the difference between an honest case of mistaking the person who did it versus a false claim to extort cash.Wrench Wench wrote:That girl who claimed I molested her was such a pain in the ass though.

There is no fucking way you can do that, I'm 6'5, relatively strong, and I could never even think about be doing that shit.

As far as I understand, the girl we are talking about here is actually, medically a giant. And she works out a lot. And has a blue collar job.

Goddamn that makes me feel small. I'm only 6'3", and no where near that kind of strength. Hell, even if I go through boot camp all year long I dont think I'll get to be like that. I must say I am quite amazed.

It's a product of a life of hard physical labour. Soldiers don't develop that kind of body, they work out to get a compact body.Nightdragon wrote:Goddamn that makes me feel small.

I've never actually "worked out" that much. It's all from actually working. First around the farm (being the tallest meant I got asked to do a lot), then my grandads garage and now mine. I've pretty much done heavy lifting for as far back as I can remember.

Whoa. How high can you lift those huge blocks of steel? The engines, I mean. Is it like only few inches off the ground, or do you actually pick 'em up and hold 'em in your arms comfortably while standing on two straight legs? Whatever the case, that sounds badass.

I can pick it up and carry it around for a minute at most. After it's too much of a strain and I risk dropping it.Shockproof Jamo wrote:Wrench Wench wrote:I can lift a car engine unassisted.

Hahahaha, God, that's still amazing. I weight around 102 kilos (=224 Lbs if I'm not mistaken) these days (majority of it muscle), and can do pull ups fairly comfortably. But... I'm not sure if I could find it in me to manage THAT.

Re: How tall is Hisao ?
I think I weigh around 300 lbs. Probably a bit over. Unfortunately means I rarely if ever get to be on top.Shockproof Jamo wrote:Wrench Wench wrote:I can pick it up and carry it around for a minute at most. After it's too much of a strain and I risk dropping it.

~EDIT~
Decided to hit a scale.
I weigh 341 lbs.
