i’m kel gilligan and i’m a daredevil! i perform super scary stunts while laughing in the face of danger. they call me “the boy without fear.”
that one made the ten o’clock news. if you haven’t heard about that stunt, then you’ve probably never heard about the time i threw caution to the wind and faced . . .
it was close, but i walked away without a scratch on me.
that stunt took a little longer than i expected.
i should have brought a coloring book or something.
