STOP SLOUCHING.

[Richter]

YOU
YES YOU
STAND. UP. STRAIGHT.

Are you trying to sneak around?  I saw you, so you're obviously failing at it. 
Are you getting ready to tackle someone?  I thought not! 
Fixing food or a car engine?  Still no?

Well, no excuse then.  Head up, shoulders back, look like you're alive for cheesesake!
DO you know how sickening that slouch makes you look?  Don't get me started.
You're a human being worth bitching out; hence you're a human being worth presenting properly.  You have a nose right?  Is it a BIG nose?  Mine sure as hell is.  If I slouch, it sticks forward, and I have the profile of a huge fucking bird.  I'm not yellow, so that shit just doesn't fly.  Don't walk around looking like a damn bird.  Some of us have to SEE you, when we're unfortunate, so you may as well try to be inspiring.
We sure as hell didn't survive random childhood innoculations, hordes of our screaming "peers", dubious educational systems and a fucked job market to creep around everywhere like we were trying to be ground apes.
Tighten your abs a bit, it helps.  Keeps you back from falling apart too.

You try that out, we'll address looking people in the eye next time.

very good!
posture is important, and our overstuffed, reclining lifestyles have wreaked havoc on our uprightness.

incidentally,
my mustache's curls have a tendency to angle forward, and so, for best display i have become accustomed to tilting my head up in compensation.  it subtly changes your perspective and others when you change the angle at which you look at people from...
i shall be looking down my nose at people long after i stuff this 'stache in a shadowbox.

Standing up straight changes my brains.  When I slouch, I feel slouchy, like a pawn shop broker or a hot dog salesman.

So, I've got Postural Kyphosis (a 54^o angle of the spine in my case; relatively mild) and I had to wear one of these:



known as a Milwaukee brace, for two years in high school, 6 months of which was 24-hours-a-day. I AM standing up straight, so fuck off 

[Jasper]

54o?  That's quite grievous.

[That One Guy]

I was trying to type 54 degrees. The "standard" degree range for the angle of the spine (at whichever vertebrae they measure it between - can't remember off-hand) is between 40 and 50 degrees. Thus, I had a mild case and still had to wear that damn thing for 2 years.

Is that a giant glowing heart condom dispenser on the wall behind you? Because if so, we need some of those bad boys in the US.

actually, yes i believe it is the things on that wall belong to some kind of friends-clubs things in my old student association, that are called "boats" for some reason. the things on the wall are meant to be "figureheads". the condom dispenser belongs to a boat named "The Loveboat".

I knew what you meant, the degree symbol just failed to work when I copy/pasted it.

Mostly I was imagining a spine bent 54 degrees over.

every time I see this thread it reminds me not to slouch.
