Act Classy’s Top 17 Lists: Neil Armstrong!

This past weekend, America lost one of its great heroes when Neil Armstong, the first human to ever set foot on a celestial body outside of Earth, passed away.  It took a special breed of man to spit in the face of gravity and travel to places without oxygen and say, “Yeah, Imma walk on that.”

Neil Armstrong

Sorry, ladies. No man will ever be as cool as me.

 Now, we’re all familiar with Neil Armstrong’s famous quote as soon as he took that legendary first step onto the moon.

That’s one small step for man.  One giant leap for mankind.”

 That legendary quote echoed throughout the world as Neil Armstrong accomplished that which seemed impossible.  But were you aware that Armstrong’s epic quote was not the only quote he had prepared?  That’s right!  Armstrong was armed with an entire notepad full of quotes that he was ready to roll with after he took that historical first step.  Fortunately for the world, he went with the most memorable one, but we here at the Act Classy’s Astronomical Historical Research and Baywatch Appreciation Society have uncovered the rest.  It gives us great honor to present to you The Top 17 Other Quotes Neil Armstrong Was Prepared to Say When He Set Foot On The Moon!

His fighter of choice was E. Honda, thanks to the ease of his attacks, the reach on his punches and kicks, and the fact that when he flew through the air you could kind of see his butt. Butts are funny. Joe has been featured on Significant Objects, Hilobrow, MamaPop, and will someday spout his insanity on a gigantic video wall in the middle of a major city, like that Geisha lady from Blade Runner.

    think he should have raked his footprints, like they do in sand traps, and then
    left the rake for the next guy.
