Hey Kong, don’t text and climb, it’s a long way down!

I’ll bet he gets great reception that high up.

Can you hear me now?

Top of the world, Ma.

He needs to take a selfie. Might not get another chance.

I guess bleeb doesnt like heights.

And you know what, mom … I can sure hear you now.

This is the best place for the best reception.

Sorry mom , I’m moving to Florida. See you soon.

Made it, Ma. Top of the world.

“I’m king of the hill, top of the….

… uh, hold on minute Ma, there’s a bunch of annoying weird looking planes flying around!”

When “King Kong” has gone flat,/Stream the film “Vampire Bat”,/ that’s some more Wray.

If you can call dead on the street below “making it” you will soon be made.

Two days ago Bleeb was flat on his back on a battlefield. Yesterday, he was in h*ll, and it looked to me as if he might still be out “cold” in the midst of the flames. I fear that our little alien buddy might be {shudder) demised. Say it isn’t so, Mr. McP!!

This ain’t gonna end well for him.

…and MA! Wait till you see my girlfriend….‼️☺️☺️☺️

Monkey business.

Hahahahaha

She’s be soo proud. Wait til she sees the film

New York, New York!

Well, it’s up to you.

Cue Randy Newman: ♪ “It’s lonely at the top.” ♪

Dumb monkey!

James Cagney……….rip!

he traded Fay for a cellphone?

He’s Top of the List, King Kong of the Hill, A Number One!!

I don’t see Bleeb! Is he still stuck in hell from yesterday?

He bud calls him up and asks whatcha doin’, “Ah just hangin’ around”.

Just before he crashed and burned, like so many people who thought they had it made in NY.

Why did Bleeb leave me?

New Yawk, New Yawkkkk…

The real question is can he see his house from up there . . .

Surprise Kong, that hasn’t been the tallest building for many years. If it were you would need two hands to carry a Mobil Phone up there. Alas, you’re NOT on top

Narrator: “He did, in fact, not make it here.”

I think he’s bigger than the building.

Hold my Beer….

Sure hope that cell phone was made with gorilla glass!

Frank Sinatra eat your heart out. You never reached these heights
