Whiplash The Cowboy Monkey


 
It's not often that Ol' MJ Hawkeye is privy to witnessing top class entertainment but this past Monday was a day of wonderment and downright awe. This reporter was able to witness,  along with four buddies from the Badger State, three time entertainer of the year award winner Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey in all of his glory. The 27 year old fury Capuchin performed a variety of tricks only imaginable by the Flying Walendas. Mostly, these feats were done sitting on the back of his partner and fido teammate, a Border Collie named Boogie.  Chills ran down my spine as I watched them both walk to home plate from the baseball dugout and return to said place. The crowd was cheering wildly as they continued to stuff their gullets with Johnson brats and fried cheese while sucking down gallon upon gallon of Leinenkugel beer.
It was only two years ago while attending a Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin Rattler baseball game at this same venue I personally met with Ken Osmond aka Eddie Haskell. I was  thrilled as no other then 66 year old could be and shelled out $3 apiece for six different autographed pictures of the Leave It To Beaver star. Mr. Osmond, in my opinion, has been replaced by a more superb talent. You'll recall Mr. Whiplash as a former Taco Bell television star. In order to get a better handle of this awesome primate's talent click on the YouTube link. Are you jealous that I was able to witness majesty in motion and you weren't? My only regret is I wasn't able to feed him a banana slice and retrieve a personal paw printed signature. http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/whiplash-the-monkey-cowboy/
