Whiplash Rides!
- Alex
It's a simple forumla, really:
Saddle a dog, put a monkey wearing a sombrero in the seat, and watch your profits skyrocket.
The full story is here, if you're interested.
I have, of course, been a big fan of Whiplash since his debut. I'd even say that I've been tempted at times to try and just grab the big cardboard
cutout that they've got in stores and just run for it. The fact that Whiplash is, shall we say, a bit surly only adds to his esteem in my eyes.
"There's a rule for working with Whiplash: No eye contact, or he's likely to, well, lash out. On the first day of the first ever Whiplash shoot, the boy playing the Taco John's employee took three claws to the cheek. Now everyone knows Whiplash is safe as long as you give him his space."
Here's hoping the Cowboy Monkey continues to ride for a long time indeed. Happy Friday!
