What? You mean you don’t wear a tie during your daily slinging practice sessions?

This was definitely not my best slinging. I started tracking my shots, and lately I’ve been above 20%... but then I started the camera  Roll Eyes

I sling best in wellies Smiley

so who's the troll ?

I think lobo might have once made glandes with razor blades.
He definitely made armour piercing glandes at one point !

I do like your ammo retrieval system Thumbs Up

Did you miss the whole conversation about RS?  Turkey throw? bear hunting with slings?  Fishing with flat stones? Jesus the Noodler???

I’m sure you could come up with some  fairly effective ammo using hardened lead or embedding tungsten spikes, etc, but “Razor Glandes” was Mersa’s excellent summary of the tall tales RS told. It was such a great summary that I had it printed on a t-shirt.

RS was really good at making outlandish claims sound like they just might be possible.  The real reason it worked was that people wanted his stories to be true.

I miss my old retrieval system. This one chases balls, and, if I’m lucky, he drops most of them exactly in the middle of the yard. About half the time he dives into the bushes and leaves the ball out of reach.

I too have a ball retrieval system like that Smiley
Although she is often willing to exchange the ball for a dog biscuit.

Had no idea rs tales were equated with anything other than utter bollocks Smiley
As lynrd skynrd say about neil young: 'I refuse to talk about the man'.

Razor glandes exist, think there are even pictures somewhere - so probably not the best choice of 'name' for a total fantassist Smiley

So 'ties' - what is their point ? - apart from giving martial artists something to strangle you with.

And you are probably the smartest dressed slinger in the world !

It’s not the existence of razor glandes that is ridiculous in and of itself. It’s the absurdity of the whole thing put together.  There’s no plausible scenario where even an experienced slinger is going to expect to hit an enemy in the eye (razor ammo or otherwise) without dumb luck.  That’s what made RS such a great troll, and I still talk about it because RS was the most hilarious case of internet trolling I’ve ever seen. He danced right on the edge of believability in absurdly creative ways, and some people did believe him for a while until we started asking for references. Some people still even use turkey throw! 

Ties... well maybe you could use one as an improvised sling before the martial artist gets close enough to choke you? Online challenge anyone?

YES!  We could do a timed challenge.  Fastest slinger to remove a tie and hit a target using it as a sling. Cheesy

I do not even own a tie. Just a dangling piece or cloth to get pulled into a wood chipper with in my trade. Ha ha

If you’ve ever seen a chipper chewing up logs you know just how scary that glove snag is. I won’t wear leather gloves while loading a chipper. Seen a lot of near misses in my career. As I get older the adrenaline has slowed and it’s much more clear to me just how extremely dangerous my job actually is. Everyday has the risk of death or serious injury.

This must be what everyone's talking about when they say to wear "slinging business casual" for job interviews.
