I was Aragorn from Lord of the Rings and everytime someone asked me who I was I responded “I am Aragorn son of Arathorn, and am called Elessar the Elfstone, Dunadan.

I was scared it was going to fall the whole time.

I was the Mad Hatter. Between serving tea and celebrating very merry unbirthdays, I took some time to roll some barrels with my friend, Deadpool.

(This is just a 5 second loop of barrel rolls)
