OK, I know this will get some real interesting responses.
  What is the wierdest thing that you have ever slung? ( slinged?)

I've been thinking this sort  of thing would make a funny thread.  
For me it's a rotten apple.   I've also slung a lot of flower bulbs. Eggs would make interesting ammo, though

I sling any thing I can balance in the pouch. skateboard wheels, chunks of watermelon rinds, cobs of corn, footlong hunks of two by four, small hunks of four by four, grapefruit, gords, handfulls of pea gravel. One revolution in my slings and any object can grow wings.

it's not odd, it's just something i'll never get used to (the westerner's behaviour with food).
you can recognize our (croatian) immigrants when they are guests over dinner at someone, by just looking at their plates. if you see no butchered food, no leftovers (except the unedible parts, but sometimes not even them), etc., it's a clue.

we do not have fammine here, but we (collective memory) can still remember shortages of food, and rationing, so slinging eggs would be considered very rude. (especially with all the beggars and other hungry people around)

DISCLAIMER: not to say that you are rude by doing so - you live in a different country, and it seems to be acceptible there. i'm just offering a  diferent point of view.


on-topic: i've slung a tortellini (one), once. but it was just "for the faeries"
(read the Faerie tale from Reymond E. Feist, and you'll get it).
it was cooked, and didn't fly very good.

i've slung watermellon rinds, and they really are interesting. you ahve to choose a piece of 3-4 inches, not over 1-2 inches thick, and sling them hard. they should blast themselves into smaller parts because of centrifugal foces made by rotation in the air.

Plenty of failed attempts by me in that area.  

The most weird thing I've ever slung was a cheap smoke bomb. You can buy them as example on Silvester. The first I slung into a stone field and it unfortunately broke at the impact. The other I slung into a wet grass field and it  looked nice to see the smoke in the air. My only hint if you try this too, is to take an old sling, because if the bomb goes off to early you've got a nice colored and perhaps burned sling 

I did slung japonica fruit (I had a check on google ), just didn't knew what it was. japonica bushes are vastly planted in Holland everywhere they can in winter these apple-like things are all over the place, usually i take a bag and collect them and then go to my sling-place and sling them at the containers. every time i go there I look at the nice yellow colour from the japonica's   
since I dont have lot of time to sling.
