Whiplash The Cowboy Monkey



O.k. I have admitted my monkey, mascot, china doll, midget hangups previously. One addendum to this rule is Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey. I first heard of Whiplash when he visited Stegman Coliseum in the spring of 1994. My friend Jay and a few other friends had just returned home from the rodeo that night. Jay had an autographed picture of a 'monkey that rode around on the back of a collie'. I almost sharted from laughter when he told me how Whiplash ran around the ring like he was riding a Brahma bull. Evidently, Whiplash is named that for a reason. He is violently thrashed around on the back of the collie when he performs. The crazy thing is that little simian cowboy doesn't let go!!! Every now and then I will go online to see if he is coming to a rodeo near me. 14 years and still no luck. Whiplash please don't die before I get to see you perform.
