a perfect example of ghostriding ones whip (starts about 20 seconds in). Of course it's stupid. Get dumb.

at times, when i recall a particular call/response to friends (fortunate enough to have chosen normal careers) i'm reminded of a famous quote ----- "a person is smart, but people are stupid."
from where i'm standing - it's darwin at work

Thirty years from now, people of all races and colors will be "ghostriding the whip" in tribute to these cultural pioneers--these ur-ghostriders, if you will--and boy, will the joke ever be on me, huh?

I've got boxes full of crap. I've been ebaying the the stuff I don't use. Besides, some of those draw sets are pricey.
