I think that the controller should be commended, he kept his cool,
didn't bite any ones head off, joked a bit, and even invited the
pilots to come into the cab and enjoy the fun. I think he did a great
job.

I really liked the "You guys should come up here some time. You'd
enjoy the show." comment, as well as the "Aww... Jeezz.. You just
can't..." G

Did anyone catch the very end when somebody called him that wasn't
pushing back for an hour?

In the past there have been railroad switching puzzles published in
magazines and books. Maybe "Ground Controller" would make a fun video
game? The game would end with a runway incursion or two widebodies
stopped nose to nose on the same t-way. The computer could
occasionally toss in a guy who moves without permission!
