If this guy thinks he’s going to be Diddy’s next PA by doing this, he’s nuts.
I can´t make too many rhymes as Mr. Basler on this ocasion, the dodo is looking at me as a dogo.
Great for the balance impaired pogo sticker.
Anybody got a light?
Jumpin’ Jehophats! Oh. My bad. It’s just Hank.
There’s never a 110 Volt cable handy when you really need it.
So the salt water record is still up for grabs?
Kind of reminds me of It’s a Dead Man’s Party by that band
Where’d I leave my Big Wheel?
Sure, he broke the old record, but he didn’t exactly blow it out of the water.
Do those Guiness guys have nothing better to do? Why don’t they just go down the hall for an Extra Stout.
Wait. I think I get it now.
Which song do you think was running through his head?
1) AC/DC’s Hell’s Bells
2) Norah Jones’s rendition of Crazy
3) Averill Levinge’s Skater Boy
4) I’m a Little Teapot, Short and Stout
Yeah. Me too.
