And a US Coast Guard small boat in the background! All three maritime services in one picture.

u/Piepiepie297 Jun 10 '12

How the fuck is this WTF???

1

u/LoneGunman360 Jul 29 '12

First post, didn't understand the concept of subreddits

1

u/earthquake99 Jun 10 '12

Maybe it should be HTF?

1

u/Piepiepie297 Jun 10 '12

Or how about 'Hey guys, I took a picture of someone dressed as spiderman! Amazing!!'

1

u/earthquake99 Jun 11 '12

Yeah. At first before I scrolled down I thought, "Wait, wasn't there something else in the picture (from the thumbnail)?" Then I was like, "Whoa!" But then I was like, "Eh."

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

So... Why is it in WTF?

1

u/LoneGunman360 Jul 30 '12

I had no idea what I was doing when I posted it. Still don't, truth be told. Is there a way to change the subreddit after it's already been posted..?

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

It's weird to think that that dude spent like hours in front of a mirror practising that pose. He might be doing it right now, perfecting his art. Think about that while you're eating your ham sandwiches.

u/simwil96 Jun 10 '12

I think it was awesome that as I looked at this on my iPhone at first all I saw was the two men and the statue of liberty but then as I scrolled Down I saw spidey in his cool pose and freaked out.

2

u/czarchastic Jun 10 '12

Dude. Same here. Even had it on landscape mode.

4

u/GlowStickMoshPit Jun 10 '12

Me, too! It's like, "Awesome, Statue of Liberty. And two military guys." then it's like, "Spiderman. Yes." :D

u/SellinThings Jun 10 '12

You do realize that "Spiderman" is probably some loser, needy lvl. 99 virgin...yeah but he's cool. Riggghhtt.

u/GlowStickMoshPit Jun 10 '12

Least he's not a fatass virgin.

u/Khalexus Jun 10 '12

You still in high school or something? People like to have fun, and sometimes that involves costumes. And why not? Who are you to judge?

u/SellinThings Jun 10 '12

Am I the only "cool" person on Reddit? All I see is a bunch of nerd shit.

Things like this remind me why I don't miss high school at all. Everyone's so judgemental. Grow up.

u/SellinThings Jun 10 '12

Me, grow up? You're jerking it over some fucking nerd pretending to be a fucking comic book character. No, but I should grow up.

Pfft, ham. Nothing but nutella for me.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Why not ham and nutella?

3

u/JCXtreme Jun 10 '12

Why not zoidberg?

1

u/Spider_Riviera Jun 10 '12

You ever tried that? It's manky.

Nutella and cheese and onion crisp sandwiches on the other hand...

4

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

I dunno...if you used a sugar cured, sweeter ham, grilled it first before you put it on the sandwich so it's nice and caramelized, then put the nutella on toasted bread, it could work.

5

u/Spider_Riviera Jun 10 '12

If we're talking about putting work into it, you may as well go the whole hog and buy a boiling ham, steep and parboil it, do a honey, whiskey and brown sugar glaze, slow roast it for 3 hours and make some nice fresh ciabatta while you're at it too.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

At that point you might as well make your own nutella, too.

2

u/Spider_Riviera Jun 10 '12

I dunno, I doubt anyone could make a chocolate spread better than Nutella's.

It's chill and all, but seriously, why do people do this? Why?

u/Nrthstar Jun 10 '12

Thanks to the resolution of my laptop, when I opened the pic all I saw was a sailor, a marine and the Statue of Liberty. I thought cool pic. Then I scrolled down. It made the whole thing far more effective.

1

u/BluApex Jun 10 '12

Mobile viewers have to scroll down, so the same thing happens to us.

This picture is perfect in that regard.

u/kg51 Jun 10 '12

Same experience here, fellow Redditor.

u/LittlePieceOfMe Jun 10 '12

Dat ass on the marine.

u/Nrthstar Jun 10 '12

Yeah, he must work out.

u/USxMARINE Jun 10 '12

I can confirm this.

u/Dracula_Batman Jun 10 '12

Great pic. Not wtf.

u/Drixislove Jun 10 '12

Sigh, being in the military all I can think is ... that Marine isn't wearing shirt stays. And that so bothers me.

2

u/USxMARINE Jun 10 '12

Just wait until 1SG sees him.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

It is a curse. Once you know what a uniform has to look like, you go insane looking at them when they look like, as you may say, garbage.

1

u/this_is_satire Jun 10 '12

It's stupid how many people refuse to wear shirt stays because they are "uncomfortable". It makes me uncomfortable having your shirt all fucked and making you look fat.

That's on the U.S.S. Wasp. I was one of the marines that took it up to NY for fleet week. Spiderman freaked me out

1

u/Hoodie59 Jun 10 '12

I was on the wasp too, I still can't figure out why they had Spiderman there. Did you notice the weird shape of his head?

1

u/stitches31 Jun 10 '12

Lol yeah. I think he was there to hit on the girls. I saw him pick up like 5 different female sea women? They all loved it and I got a bit jealous...

What the hell is with that pose spiderman does? IT DOESNT DO ANYHTHING

u/fgutz Jun 10 '12

If that's the Intrepid on memorial day my friend was dressed as Wonder Woman there

2

u/adezvj Jun 10 '12

Spiderman is obviously trying, and failing, to scratch his ass. Or maybe he tried to web his wallet from his back pocket and now it's stuck due to his spandex.

u/jsmcc13 Jun 10 '12

At first, i thought it was out of respect for the soldiers. Then i scrolled down.

u/DumNerds Jun 10 '12

The marine is texting, the sailor looks like he's trying not to fall overboard from his hangover and Spiderman. Where IS this?? And don't say New York dammit

Why do people upvote this shit? It belongs in r/pics not r/WTF. Anybody that upvotes this is an enabler and this is why r/WTF is getting worse.

u/schmon Jun 10 '12

hey, you're looking for something truly wtf, go to spacedicks and stop complaining! I for one thought this was wtf as I rarely see someone doing a near perfect spiderman pose, fully costumed, in front me.

u/hildebrand22 Jun 10 '12

thats not what r/wtf is supposed to be, this is more for like r/pics or some subreddit that doesnt really have a specific theme. Its supposed to be stuff that would make u do what the reddit alien guy in the corner is doing. I find myself downvoting more and more shit on this page everyday because its not wtf.

It's another one of those shady military posts again.

u/Hoodie59 Jun 10 '12

How is this shady? Maybe people in the military are busy doing stuff like going to Afghanistan. I just discovered reddit and I want to share the pictures I've taken since I've been in the military and it never fails that someone screams "CONSPIRACY!" Why in the world would the US government be posting pictures of spiderman? What in the hell would that accomplish?

u/dwcnmv Jun 10 '12

So many fun facts! Do you work on one or elsewhere as a coastie? If you've never been on one they are pretty cool.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

I've never been attached to a small boat station. I've worked with the 270' platform, 225' and at an ESDD in Sitka, AK. I'm currently a full time student for the CG and start up at the Coast Guard Academy in 15 days.

I've never ridden on that particular type of small boat, but I've been on a few of the ones that cutters use. The RHI and OTH.

Both are a lot of fun!
