58) If you seriously pull a muscle in your arm and the first thought that comes to your mind is not "I hope I didn't hurt it too badly!", but "I wonder how long this will keep me from slinging?"

59) If fried rabbit tastes far better than a good steak simply because it was killed by a stone.

60) If every rabbit you see has a bullseye on it's body and a dinner plate in it's future.

61) If you have read the Apache article so many times you can recite it from memory...backwards.

62) If a forest and a good stream with stones nearby is your idea of heaven.

(55) you have ever needed to tighten your belt because all the rocks in your pockets were weighing them down. This one made me laugh. Yep, pretty much every time.)

63) if you have ever gone to a fishing/outdoor store and only bought large lead fishing weights.

64) you pick up random pieces of string you find cause it might be a good component to a future sling.

65) your eyes can automaticly pick out the best sling stones out of a large pile.

66) you have knocked nuts out of trees with a rock from your sling.

67) You look at 52. and laugh on recalling when you outdistanced an air cannon with a sling and half a banana.
68) You jump whenever you hear a loud knock, expecting a ricochet.
69) You spend afternoons wondering if different types of slings came to the Americas with people, or developed separately in a sort of fibrous convergent evolution...

70: you've been hit in the head more times than you can remember... because of permanent brain damage
71: you've sat there for hours trying to make up a new slinging style, and ended up adding another head- hit to your count.
72: after many times bieng told that a rock is too heavy for you to lift, you decide to slip it under your sling.
73: you secretly sneaked those brussels sprouts under the table... for the sole purpose of using them as sling ammo
74: when the word 'sith' does not relate in any way to star-wars
75: when you still have to make 3 lead glandes, when they were ordered 3 months ago

whoa! whered that rock go!? *friend goes down with sickening thud* oh, dang

hehe...

76: Your mouth waters when you see a perfectly formed, round river stone

77: When someone is talking about rock music, you think about the sounds of ammo buzzing through the wind

78: You wear a sling over your shoulder, another one as a belt, one in your pocket, and one as a loose necklace. In case you are trapped and can't reach the other three. (Don't laugh, you know you've done it at least once.)

79) you go out of your way to start conversations that give you an excuse to say: 'This is a sling' as you whip one out of your back pocket and proceed to demonstrate it's use

80) you get strange looks at the gamekeepers show when you buy three whole goats worth of scrap leather.

81) your 'personal space' extends about 300 yards in all directions

82) you've attempted tree pruning with rocks.

83) none of the people you talk about in regard to slinging have real names.
83b) you've used the words: ratman and curious aardvark, in a serious sentence (lol)

84) you have rocks that are just too perfectly shaped to throw.
84b) you've tried to explain 84 to a non-slinger

85) you're dog goes totally mental as soon as he sees a sling

lol got one on my keyboard. About 2.5 oz perfect glande shaped, real dense. I sooo want to see how far I can sling it - but then I'd never find it and I wouldn't have it any more - it's a serious dilemma Grin

Guess I could try and make a mould for concrete ammo with it.

86) you've seen people smack themselves in the back of the head with a tennis ball

Seriously would you sling this stone ?
