Every time I see that I just think it's weird that it didn't even need the black outline.

[–]Raneados 8 points9 points ago

Well.. on lighter colors they'd blend in. With the black border, it separates the white of the letters from any light-colored background.

[–]RyanMockery 4 points5 points ago

But what would happen if you posted on white? That's why black outline :D

[–]jakestrictor 5 points6 points ago

Starting to a see a lot more people scribbling drawing and all that. It's really inspiring with creativity.

[–]Seburrstian 7 points8 points ago

You... I like you.

[–]ZeGentleman 2 points3 points ago

You're going places, kid.

[–]bonezito24 1 point2 points ago

A real prodigy

[–]qxw 0 points1 point ago

Hey, that's really awesome.

[–]GuyTheTerrible 19 points20 points ago

Make a meme with black text, they said. People will be able to read it, they said

[–]skibblez_n_zits 18 points19 points ago

mate

Australian detected.

[–]SupermanV2 16 points17 points ago

[–]SupermanV2 4 points5 points ago

I never imagined you would be an Aussie. Where abouts? I'm in Byron Bay at the moment, moving back to Sydney in a couple weeks.

[–]Dildo_Ball_Baggins 8 points9 points ago

I certainly am, I thought the same when I saw you were too.

Man I'll be in Byron from the 13th till the 17th, that's insane. Are you of partying/shenanigans age? I live in Perth but am going there for birthday celebrations = four days of beach/partying/drinking.

[–]SupermanV2 9 points10 points ago

Argh that's the worst! I'm leaving on like 7th hopefully. Just waiting for my motorcycle to get fixed so I can ride it back down to Sydney.

If I'm still around I'll let you know. I'm 22 so I'm definitely of a party/shenanigans age. I'll PM you my Facebook so feel free to add me if you want.

[–]vhaluus 14 points15 points ago

now kiss

[–]qwertyroffle 8 points9 points ago

There was a surprising lack of any Australian accent in my head while reading that entire exchange. Needs more Crikey and Mate.

[–]Dildo_Ball_Baggins 4 points5 points ago

If he and I met in person there would be plenty of mate-speak.

[–]Ella6361 6 points7 points ago

[–]Dildo_Ball_Baggins 2 points3 points ago

Nice, it'll be my 21st so it promises to be a solid weekend. Ahh shit, did you crash it? Yeah let me know. I'm not a massive Facebooker but I'll add you. Are they a couple of other prolific redditors in your cover photo by any chance?

[–]SupermanV2 2 points3 points ago

There certainly were. I just updated it.

There's a few of them we made. It's me, TheAtomicPlayboy, Drunken_Economist and Quarter_Centenarian... Occasionally we include lulzcakes too.

EDIT: Didn't crash it, I just spend 8 months in the US so it's been sitting and seized up.

[–]Longtimelurker8379 0 points1 point ago

Are there no central Queenslanders anywhere?!?!?

[–]SupermanV2 0 points1 point ago

Nope. God took care of that with the last hurricane.

[–]Longtimelurker8379 0 points1 point ago

Damn him.

[–]bonezito24 0 points1 point ago

I imagined hearing a sching! noise as I watched this

[–]iamNebula 1 point2 points ago

English people say it too..

[–]clockworknovak 1 point2 points ago

Mate, I use "mate" quite often. It is not necessarily a signifier of country of origin.

[–]qwertyroffle 8 points9 points ago

Sorry but if you have a typical North American accent, please refrain from saying Mate.

Oh, Cheers also applies to this rule.

Thanks in advance.

[–]SupermanV2 0 points1 point ago

No wukkas mite.

[–]fewdiodave 0 points1 point ago

As an American, I agree. It just sounds silly coming out of our mouths.

[–]Cptn_Sisko 1 point2 points ago

Much better

[–]bdh008 3 points4 points ago

White text, black outline. White text, black outline. It can't be much easier. WTBO. There, now it is easier. No excuses.

[–]TheTalkingCamelAnus 0 points1 point ago

Appropriate username. See you up in the sky.

[–]CmndrSalamander 0 points1 point ago

you too

[–]polopidowxus 0 points1 point ago

good job. adds up to the humor's aura.

[–]HealingCare -1 points0 points ago

A long, long time ago on a homepage far, far away

[–]JonesBee[!] 14 points15 points ago

I know how you feel. Every time I go to the beach a bunch of greenpeace people come out of nowhere. They try to keep me wet and roll me back into the ocean.

[–]NarwhalAMA 4 points5 points ago

Yeh, same :(

[–]thelovepirate 9 points10 points ago

That's the joy of swimming in Galveston Bay, in Texas. The water is so filthy that no one can see anything underneath the water.

[–]Kevinak3r 2 points3 points ago

I've been attacked by crabs and stung by jellyfish in Galveston because I couldn't see them a foot away from me. I've also noticed that if you dig a hole 1-2 ft deep, then you start getting into this black sand that smells like rotten eggs.

[–]storyofo 0 points1 point ago

I really thought this was a universal truth about beaches.

[–]davidquick 1 point2 points ago

It's not really that much filthier than anywhere else on along the east coast of the US. It's all a pretty uniform shade of green.

[–]victoriarosehh 2 points3 points ago

I'm from SoCal, I've visited beaches at Florida and they are clearer and cleaner than ours. So I guess it's anywhere other than Hawaii.

[–]davidquick 2 points3 points ago

Fair enough. Just in general, continental american beaches are kinda crappy.

Here in Houston, it's like a local game to talk about how awful galveston is.

[–]Dances_with_Sleep 1 point2 points ago

I am from South Florida, and recently visited California.

I can confirm this. Florida has great beaches.

[–]Crash_Test_Dummy66 0 points1 point ago

Im from the NW and I visited SoCal and thought their beaches were nice...

[–]pugzlie18 8 points9 points ago

Yay, something on the upcoming bar that is actually funny.

[–]qxw 1 point2 points ago

It even looks like he's trying to hide himself by sinking his head in the water a little

[–]helperventure 2 points3 points ago

I feel so much for this little guy.

[–]DoctorPiggey 1 point2 points ago

Where have I seen this before? Facebook, twitter.

[–]ubomw 3 points4 points ago

But... It's true.

[–]Hobbes42 -1 points0 points ago

How does this have over 950 Karma and only 15 (including this one) comments?

It's an enigma, I say.

[–]Reformed_journalist 0 points1 point ago

That's why water aerobics is so popular.

[–]trashmugcomb 0 points1 point ago

T-shirts hide your fatness in the pool.

[–]PewDiePiefan1234567 1 point2 points ago

Oh my, it's so cute!!! :3

[–]desert_dessert 1 point2 points ago

So cute! I just want to love him and squeeze him and call him George.

[–]bluefoot55 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't make you look fat; it makes you look stocky.

[–]Schridogg 1 point2 points ago

I wanna pat its belly!

[–]LittleGoatyMan 1 point2 points ago

You a fat seal, you gotta get yourself an education and a job!

[–]ccn1886 1 point2 points ago

Should've worn a t-shirt.

[–]YoucantbeSEWIOUS 1 point2 points ago

He is not fat!! Just big finned.

[–]ScamperSand 0 points1 point ago

Harbor seal pups are the cutest! Too bad they grow up so fast. Like 6 weeks fast.

[–]Nachtraaf 0 points1 point ago

He's not fat, just really aerodynamic.

[–]gzrecoil 0 points1 point ago

Face like McKayla Maroney

[–]come_on_seth 0 points1 point ago

Swimming is great exercise, they said. Loss weight they said. Forgot about physiological response to exposure to heat loss they did...

[–]oli0202 -1 points0 points ago

This advice only works for a certain level of overweightness, once you reach obesity you can't really hide it.

[–]SpineBuster -2 points-1 points ago

Harbor seal with a stupid head on my screen? Upvote.

[–]YourFlaccidPenis -2 points-1 points ago

My gosh, if you are going to submit this link at least submit the original, good quality one: link

[–]DodiGharib 0 points1 point ago

Use a cliche title they said, no one would notice they said.
