Ghostriding the whip

Posted on: October 20, 2006

Who'll be the first to ghostride the whip in Second Life?

It's a simple question.

And those who wish to come first, certainly can — this opportunity is wide-open. Despite having no shortage of glitzy, blong-laden (like "bling" but one vowel down) automotive contraptions in Second Life, I haven't seen any ghost riding the whip yet.

(This whip has yet to be ghostridden.)

In case you're not familiar with hyphy culture, let me just say this: when's the last time you've seen a car in Second Life roll down a hill without a driver inside?

Yeah, physical objects — you'd think it'd be more common. Since ghostriding the whip can be a pretty dangerous activity IRL, as reported by the eponymous blog, it seems like a choice thing for our infinitely insufferable avatars to endure.

My next dream: sitting on the hood of a car as it careens down a simurban street, doing my yay handz holding a phat watermelon between them. And then impaling the watermelon on the horns atop my watermelon-colored viking helmet, and letting all the juice drip out.

(Still waiting for the first original hip-hop music vid machinima… and more commas too.)
