How’s that ol’ saying go again? “Wire, Wire, Pants on Fire”

I hope that’s a ‘fire-proof’ rope they’re using.

Stick around guys. Even some of the Wallenda family didn’t make it across their tightropes. :/

Unless the rope catches fire!

It is their final exam.

Not for nothing, but that isn’t trapeze. It’s a high wire.

Fire escape = Wire escape

Bellini, I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Bleeb’s got a front row site for the event

Fireman on the left:- Let´s cool them down a bit. Fireman with hose:- You got it!

The fire is at the window. Wouldn’t the fire have burned the rope they’re walking on?

Bleeb seems to be at the right place at the right time to be able to observe many very unusual human behaviors. One wonders what conclusions he is drawing from all he has seen? Or, maybe he doesn’t bother to draw conclusions and just keeps looking for for the next dress / skirt to look up?

“BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!”

“Ooooo, looks like they’re gonna need us after all, that’s an electrical line! Hmm, kinda smells like bacon!”

I’d rather use the stairs.

More effective than a mime who’s an fbi informant

They’ll be wanting that soggy net you have there when the tight rope they are walking burns out over there.

Or the fire catches to the wire?

It’s actually not even their apartment; just a publicity stunt.

Until the tightrope gives way to the fire!

That lady shouldn’t smoke, it stunted her growth.

How much did Apple charge them for that Firewire cable?

Well maybe they could use a little help with putting out the fire. I mean you wouldn’t want your tip to be a total waste of time.

Hang out for a minute guys. Those are the newbs.
