Woops, my bad

I was reading the paper today and came upon this article that once again made me think Darwin was right. So, basically a kid was driving around with his buddy "surfing" on the front windshield and they somehow hit a tree and the driver is be charged with it. Seems fair. Which one of these two geniuses thought this was a good idea? It also says they were going 50 mph. WTF? Even if you thought this would be fun and a good idea, don't you think you would do it at a more appropriate speed? Even if they didn't hit a tree (how'd they hit a tree anyways?) how would they have stopped from going 50 mph without the kid on the hood flying off. I am not a physicist, but that seems quite difficult.

I've blogged about ghost ridin in the past, but I thought that was a fad that had fallen away. I guess it took over a year for ghost ridin to hit the suburbs, so these two thought it was still cool to be doing.

I guess kid's in the city are now "Ghost Ridin' the Book"

Terrible editing on this video, but they actually do ghost ride books in the last 30 seconds.

I also guess kids in the suburbs have also moved beyond ghost ridin cars:


Editor's note: The article says that the survivor said the two of them had done this before. Would you really want to admit to that after killing your best friend acting like an idiot.

Do it right old timer...

Avid reader, Snowman, sent me this clip today of a grandmother 'ghost ridin the whip." The clip is hilarious, but the only problem with the clip that I have is that she does not correctly ghost ride the whip.



Grandma and grandpa forget to get on top of the car. They get out and dance correctly but forget to get on top of the whip. Now look at this:



Now thats how you ghost ride. I for one am glad that this ghost riding the whip thing was not just a fad and that it has stuck around. I wish more people would ghost ride their whip around town. Maybe one day we will see edgrimley ghost riding his KIA down Brady.
