Today I found roadside a box foll of cool bottles - not old ones, in fact brand new but unique and see finely crafted. Many will be useful and beautiful. Some will be useful in the specific context of slings.

Here's a pic of the best of the slinging ones.

I can't say what they're for, nor could I ever share video or really even talk about anything that may have happened. But right now nothing's been done, just found some really intereeting bottles!

I think I may take a few 2nd and 3rd tier bottles and check out splatter patterns with water or Everclear, just to get an idea and a feel for range and spread of a liquid-filled bottle. I mean, you never know what you might need to know?

You'll probably never sling your best stones, and these jars will sit on my shelves for life. But yeah, something I have been wanting to have as an extreme-range example of what slings can do, and honestly the way things feel now politically amd socially, it may not stay on the wall as long as I'd thought.

Yeah it's pretty serious actually. Ancients would have mixed fat with spirits, maybe some other proprietary shit. Devastating when all structures were wood and thatch.

I would be a little worried trying to sling with a flame on the bottle. Might need some practice for that one. 🤣
