As far as I know Robert Wadlow still holds this record. I remember Wadlow from the torn blue 1976 copy of The Guinness Book of World Records I used to pore over as a kid. It included a pictorial representation of Wadlow standing next to a series of others (from memory it included the shortest woman ever recorded (who was referred to as a midget), an 'average' man (who I'm proud to say at 5'9" was, and still is, shorter than me) and a 'pygmy' (one of English's finest words as it contains no vowel - along with rhythm)).
A Pygmy (note the trademark breast-size variance and inappropriately sized G-string) I might roll out a song a week - my own title urges me to - or I might not. This one is a live version but it's pretty faithful to the album version. The whole album is good so buy it if you wanna. I love the line "I plan to be forgotten when I'm gone".
Warning: Shoddy camera work.

A friend just lent me 'The Wild Hunt' (album) last week. I liked it, but perhaps not as much as the other album from last week: The Low Anthem's 'Oh My God Charlie Darwin'.
Did you get a chance to check out The Avett Bros? I like 'Emotionalism' best, although some of the tracks on 'I and Love and You' are bloody tremendous.
I don't believe he's the Tallest Man on Earth at all!
I'm writing to the ACCC.
Not bad, Lewd, thanks
My picks at the moment are Kid Sam by Kid Sam and I think I will like No Engine by I Dream in Transit (if my local record shop ever manage to order it in)
He sounds like a more cheerful Tom Waites.
Someone needs to post something to move that half-naked pygmy down the screen. I keep panicking that my boss is going to walk in whenever I click on this tab!
Half naked? I think it's closer to 7/8ths.
The hot gossip from the rag trade is that the "National Geographic Look" is going to be huge at the Spring Racing Carnival this year.
Your boss not a big fan of pygmies then, Puss?
Because he is watching your mouse, Witchie.
I'd be far more worried about the secret listening devices the International Zionist Conspiracy has planted in your house, Witchy.
Whoops - I shouldn't have said that.
Im not normally a hip-hop kinda guy, but lately I cant stop listening to The Roots, "How I got over" album.
Check out "walk alone" for shiz (are the kids still doing that?)
Not round here they aren't, Dr Golf. It's all: "For realz, innit."
"That song is well good, innit? It's qwali'ee [quality]."
I'm going to write a dictionary when I come home, just so I don't forget all this shit.
P.S. Can I come home yet? London smells.
London smells
The city or the people, EMS?
