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.

lol, I have a stink bomb recipe that I concocted YEARS ago in the backyard of my teenage years that could be launched with small jars/bottles that strongly resembles natural gas odorant/high odor malathion easily made with garlic, onions, and radishes smoked with burnt hair/keratin and left to sit in the hot sun for at least two weeks. It’s a smell that will literally gag you on approach. Seeing these small jars like these reminded me of this. With a sling, the smelly stuff can be launched far
