Lost Sling!
Jul 21st, 2017 at 10:26am
 
Tip: Don't roll up a sling in your pocket, leave the pocket open then go running around in dense woodland, allowing said sling to fall out. Absolutely gutted. Even more annoying is that it's the sling Curious_Aardvark sent me a little while back and is perfect for tennis balls  Cry

That sucks,  but think about this. It isn't biodegradable.  So someone will find it, and use it. If they figure out what it is.

Probably didn't help that it's green with basically camo paracord...

That happened to me once. I spent days making the perfect Rockman. I never got to use it once before it fell out of my pocket to be lost forever. Talk about pissed....

I used to have pink sunglasses so that would have been perfect but I have boring black ones now. Red sounds good to me Cheesy
