My best friend when I was a lot younger had a wrist rocket. He could pick off a lizard at 50 paces with that thing. Not as lethal as an assault rifle, but they can hurt like hell!
“Industrial strength” slingshots are really, really powerful. I am thankful for having been a child before the worst “safety hysteria” kicked in – we had home made toy weapons of all sorts which would probably make parents today sentenced to jail for letting us having, or something.
Who wants lawn darts?!
Here, let me rig my bb gun to shoot ‘em.
Just make sure you muzzle load that BB gun with 9 BBs, 5 lead pellets, and pump it until you can’t move the pump any more. That way they’ll know you MEAN it.
Wow, we both actually *did* this.
On top of that, I had an older BB gun than my friends did, so mine had a REALLY long pump handle. I could get some serious leverage off that thing, and I’m surprised I didn’t blow it up trying to pump it full.
If my parents knew half the stuff I did as a child, their hair would finish turning grey.
I know. The ‘rents were oblivious. Did you by chance have older brothers? That’s how I account for it, anyway.
I couldn’t use that excuse. My older brother went into the Air Force when I was 8 and was gone until I was 18. So the only person I could blame was Jimmy Whitlock down the street. Although, he did shoot me in the knee with his BB gun….
And ever since, Jimster and the Frooz were known as the hole in the knee gang. (You married him, right?)
Scary. He was too short for me
Just about everybody’s too short for me. I blame *that* one on my two grandfathers, both 6′4”.
My rule is: can I talk to him while standing together in a line, without neck pain (in either direction)? Lots of vikings on both sides of my family…I got really good at taking down hems to make false ones!

We couldn’ta afforded fancy stuff like that. But a ten year old kid with a bow made from kinda stiff wood (I can’t for the life of me think of the English name for the tree now – has red berries) about 2 cms in diameter (4/5th of an inch, mebbe), about the same length as the kid in question, could wreak havoc even with all wooden arrows.
First time I ever had a chance to try shooting anything, even with a bb gun was around grade 8, so age 13 or 14 or something. But it was great fun.
Hehehheheh. You said Stiff Wood.
You’ve got Yew or Rowan. Yew is the traditional wood for making bows with. Rowan has the berries but I’ve never heard of anyone making bows from that??
I’d never heard of those until I saw them in the “Nostalgia”-section on this site.
No, all our stuff was home made. And if not lethal, definitely enough to put someone in hospital. Somehow, we never had to go there anyway.
I blame gramps. He made most of them for us, and showed us how to make them. I suppose that’s because he was one of them blood thirsty WWII-vets. ;p
My cousin killed a rabbit with a rock once. That he threw. We avoided him after that.
Poor Rocky. Heh heh.
Oh, he was used to us avoiding him. And his name is Mike.
You were talking about my cousin, right?
Noes! Rocky as in, “Vee don’t need computer veapon to keel moose and squirrel. Veev been trying to keel moose and squirrel for 35 years.
From how far away?
I killed some fuzzy varmint that was digging up my yard once. I felt awful afterwards and will never do it again.
I’ve killed fish. And mice. I kinda feel bad for the mice, but I can’t let them take over the house.
See the link for THE best sling shot man you have ever heard of, or will ever hear of. Shooting coins in the air, and allowing the reporter to choose which direction he wants a weed to fall.
Oh joy! More millitary related lolage – we can continue here instead of swamping the “110″ down to unloadability!
Hey, we’ve had two 1500+ comment LOLs in the last month, care to make it three?
It’s been great! I mean – I hang here for the comments, not for the lols (especially lately when the lols have been anything but). But from what I understand some people (like you?) don’t really live in a proper civilisation with proper broadband and proper computers, so I thought I’d try the magnanimous style… ;p
My parents live off the edge of nowhere in BFE. They are the only people I know on the PLANET who have a satellite for their internet, but don’t have TV signal because they won’t hook up their digital box onto their analog antenna connection. So they have a dish, but no TV. And their internet runs at around 56K, which is annoying.
Hubby and I, on the other hand, go without food some months because we can’t live without our high speed internet connection
Same here. My high speed internet is my gaming, my news, my television, my research resource. Of all the bills I have, electricity and internet are the ones I need the most. There have been times I went without water and a phone, but not without high speed internet. In fact, I used to have to shower at the college recrational center for about 2 months one time because of a roomate dipping out and leaving me to cover two peoples rent and bills.
I bet you used the internet to plot the former roommate’s demise, too?
A very aged and slow demise, at that.
Dial up slow….. so, you know it was vicious.
*nods*
With you on that one. We’re about to switch TV providers (long story) but we’re KEEPING the cable broadband internet, even if it’s the only thing I’m buying from the Comcastards.
My wife and I are considering raising our cable bill even higher to get even faster Internet (maybe my Halo games won’t lag on the PC anymore, can’t even play it lately). Although the main thing I like about it is that it would LOCK IN that price for 2 years. I’m guessing if I don’t do it, that price will be what my bill will look like in 2 years WITHOUT the upgrades. This just gets me ahead of the game. LOL
If me and my bf’s economic situation would collapse totally, we’d have to move to Nowhere Land (just up Sh|t Creek), and I really think satellite might be the only option there. I really don’t think things would get that bad though.
And yes. I’d rather spend a month living on oatmeal porridge than give up the broadband.
… while mom’s on ADSL. But she has broadband at work, so she can handle stuff from there.
He’s a real Nowhere Man, sitting in his Nowhere Land, getting all his Internet access from nobody.
Hahaha. The next verse you don’t even have to adapt, it’s excellent for PK as it is.
Doesn’t have a point of view, knows not where he’s going to, isn’t he a bit like you and me?
…
Ah, okay, most people here tends to have a point of view. Or at least a view…
Some people here I wish would take their time, don’t hurry and leave it all til somebody else lends them a hand.
True dat, froo. When my wife and I look to make budget cuts, high speed Internet goes in the “need” column, not “want.” LOL
I think this pic would have been much better without the caption as just the pic made me giggle.
I’ve seen it a while ago in “Vote” too, but then EVERY caption was “budget cuts”-this-or-that, so this is great compared to those, at least.
Looks like that military underfunding we hear about in action. “Rookie gets the slingshot!” “Aww….”
“Oh crap, he just slingshot Sarge in the nads. Nice knowing ya, kid.”
is he to young for the bow? LISTEN!!! LISTEN!!! A !TERRORIST!!!!! LISTEN !!!!!
I feel 99% sure I’ve seen this before in Random, and I thought that when I saw it in upcoming- can I get a check on my repost suspicions?
Check is in the mail, Tygor dear.
Wow… like I haven’t seen this three times before. OH! WAIT! I HAVE!
P.S. Please find new stuf
yeah your definitely right
As a matter of fact, the real Dennis served in Vietnam and suffered from PTSD as a result. His father, the creator of the comic strip, turned his back and gave no help to the inspiration that provided him with a very good living.
That’s depressing as hell.
sources?
Do the research yourself? There’s no discussion or question on the issue, hence jl probably isn’t going to re-check this. Which means you need to look it up yourself.
{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Ketcham} There, saved you the effort, Ubermensch. Happy now?
Do you seriously have to sully the term “Ubermensch” by referring to this snot-rag as such?
Dude, it’s the 21st century. Bart Simpson would have been a better reference!
lol bart simpson. Are you for real?
“And here are the results of your drugs tests, everyone passed. Except for you Marge, you tested positive for crack and PCP.”
“Oh my..”

Ohh that was a great news, i think its good for Child Star Dennis the Menace who Joins the Army. I salute all the army persons because they sacrifice his life for save us..
I enjoyed reading your post, but the enjoyment was tarnished by your mangled English. I assume it is not your first language?
I am in the navy, i currently came back from Iraq, this reminded of our trip over there. We had to check our M-16s and M9s in as baggage, they gave us this little form to fill out, which we had to check off which kind of weapons we were checking. and i kid you not at the bottom your could check off “slingshot” honest to gods truth…i laughed really hard when i saw that…
this guy did somethin really stupid in order to do range rights.
omg i have that same slingshot!!
My bb gun[s] can top that.
a child before the worst “safety hysteria” kicked in – we had home made toy weapons of all sorts which would probably make parents today sentenced to jail for letting us having, or something.
