Excelsior!

I just love that guy.

[DFW]

3. Yes, way!

I had him make that up for DU one time when we were at lunch out in BH. He has a stack of those Spidey cards in his desk drawer and makes them up for friends and visitors. Here we were that day:

Gil, in the middle, is his legal right-hand man.

4. I am so jealous of you right now.

That is just awesome.

5. Be jealous of Skinner. I sent the card to him after scanning it.

As for Stan, even guys like him gotta know SOMEBODY. I'm just a "somebody."

6. Nah, the fact that you have a picture with him, and shook the legend's hand.

The only guy who I can say, is slightly in the same vicinity that I have shook hands with is Bill Clinton.

I would have rather met up with Stan Lee.

7. They are both pretty entertaining guys to hang with

I posted this 5 or 6 weeks ago:

8. I remember.

That was pretty cool.

9. Really just an odd string of coincidences

Sort of like a pinball that has this one run of hitting one bumper after another. For some of them, I was too young to appreciate it.

I'm probably one of the few people on DU who met both Salvador Dali and Groucho Marx.

Luckily, Stan is one I was aware enough to appreciate. We email regularly. I can't believe he'll be 92 this December.

10. See? That is amazing.

[DFW]

11. He is pretty amazing

I don't know how many people are as active as he is at 92. I suspect George Burns must have been a little like that.

12. I see this guy moving around more.

I like it a lot. I hope he reaches over a hundred.

[DFW]

13. He could easily do that

He did have a pacemaker put in recently, but I think that has been his only concession to letting modern medicine get anywhere near him. He's just too busy having fun to get sick.

By the way, if you ever get to meet him, here's the bad news: the first time, you have to buy HIM lunch. The good news is, he's a cheap date! Of all the places to go in Beverly Hills, he prefers cheap delis for lunch. Brooklyn roots that won't quit.

14. That is definitely cool.
