"Supreme!" - what a great, quick and heartfelt answer!

Guest: Rob (620 days ago)

that is nuts! and I love the sentence he gets - "doing a free show for children". Bet that taught him a lesson he'll never forget!

That is the most delightful footage i've seen on BoreMe ever! I live in the big apple right now, so watching this was very giving!

Imagine if he'd tried to do that on 9/11. Would've wobbled when the first plane would hit, and the attention would've been taken away from his achievement.

Guest (624 days ago)

Bet he couldn't do that now
