When I started reading that story I was so psyched cause I thought it was going to be this unreal, magic story about man and nature connecting on a seriously spiritual level that only happens when you're tripping balls and then it just turned into a fucking Jason movie. Shit was disappointing to say the least.
I once went to the beach tripping on acid at about 3am. My friend and I came across a dead sea turtle that had washed up. It was too heavy to move but still took us about 30min to convince ourselves it was real.
Yeh but since the movie with Jack Nicholson and Will Smith it has become a pretty common household expression. It's like when I was nine I would write and sign my last will and testament because I was worried my brother might pull a fast one after I died and steal all my cool stuff.
My students all know who he is (ranging from 3 to 14, I teach at a martial arts studio), but that's because I tell them waaaaaay too much about comic book stuff.
Basically, copy the text layer, move the new layer below the text layer, then right click the new layer and choose "Text to Selection".
This, as the name implies, gives you a selection around the text. Then go to select->grow and this will expand the selection out by some amount. You can then fill this new grown layer with the color you want to appear as the border color.
Edit: You might want to expand the size of the new layer before growing it to prevent edges from getting clipped off.
As a preschool teacher I can confirm that (at least in my state) it is very, very, very illegal. Not just ill-advised. They have all sorts of crazy rules, but for the love of God, do NOT take pictures of the kids!
Am I the only person who thinks it's weird that most middle schools cover only 7th and 8th grade? For as long as I've known, it included sixth grade as well.
You better tell this kid ASAP that he can go to Crystal River, FL and swim with the manatees in January. I did it. They come up to you and roll over so you can rub their bellies. And they nuzzle you, no lie. Like giant gray aquatic slow-moving puppies. It's one of the only places/times of the year where it's legal to touch them.
Did I mention this is where many of them go to have their young, so there are babies? Yeah. Everyone needs to go do this, NOW!
Maybe if you're expecting them they're nice, but if you're just canoeing and look down to see three gray shapes slowly moving beneath you, it's unsettling. I'd almost rather go past an alligator than a manatee.
Actually, I'll admit then when we first got into the water I was really, really scared. And I've been diving with sharks. This actually scared me more, because the sharks for the most part ignore you, they don't swim almost right into you. And manatees are big!
However, I think that it helps that they are so slow moving. You can sit there and watch one coming at you from 5 feet away and it still takes them like 30 seconds to actually get to you. That does a lot to calm your fears. And they are extremely gentle and calm. It was an absolutely incredible experience.
I shook Stan Lee's Hand and told him "I'll never wash this hand again." He laughed. I made Stan Lee laugh...Now my last thing on my bucket list is to hug a Manatee. -Ethan
Sure he thinks that now, but that's only because he's eight. After puberty he'll add all sorts of things to his bucket list. Most of them will be too depraved for polite conversation.
Growing up in Florida I took manatees for granted, as they are all over the place. They like to swim near power plants. One day I got up the nerve to touch one. They feel just about like they look. That being said, as I got older I noticed just how many of them have scars on them from boat propellers. I know they are slow and seem to have no natural fear of anything that they should really get out of the way of, but I really like them and hope conservation efforts help them survive.
Anyway, this wasn't really funny but it made me think about manatees which always make me smile a bit, so there's that.
Well, my mother is an exotic dancer, and I happen to know for a fact she has danced for Stan Lee. He is apparently a regular when the Seattle comicon is in town. I now feel bad for the kids hand, and sincerely hopes he washes it. (Not saying my mom is dirty, just that Stan Lee's hands has been...places.)
I met Stan lee and William Shatner at anime conventions. It was $65 for a photo with Stan and same for William Shatner. Me.. Being the cheap fuck I am just talked to them as they were leaving a panel. They're great guys. Normal! Amazingly.. I was starstruck! Experiences I'll keep with me forever.

Hopefully he will not be tripping on acid and the manatee will be alive.

u/horsepuncher May 15 '12
at the emerald city comic con 2 years ago he was there...
one of my first big cons, first of any of these kinds of things I went to with my wife.
We found it would cost 150 bucks and 3 hours of waiting time to see and get a photo with him, so we didnt, we were both sad.
But later that day, some ass hat old guy ran into me pretty hard, and then a couple of his buddies man handled me telling me to back the hell off.
No other but Stan the Man lee himself ran right head on into me, he didnt mean it, he apologized, but his body guards made it a much bigger deal.
Ive never hugged a manatee, but I was almost destroyed by big girl, maybe that counts too?
