1. He's doing well. It would be great if he'd get near the top, then start back down on his own.

Wow. All the stories he could tell.

Get it? All the stories?

Ah, well.

Is it over?

4. Yup...

Ended with him scaling all the way to the top then plastering an American flag up there. He's been taken into custody now...where he'll surely sign a few autographs.
