*This new Wrist Rocket Pro slingshot looks really cool. It folds up and locks shut with the aid of a padlock, and it uses flat power bands. It gets high reviews for durability and design. You can find the basic unit for about US$45 with free shipping if you spend the time to google it out.
I gotta say, I have a thing for slingshots, particularly the old-school one-piece wrist rockets. When I was a kid they were the height of cool. I still have an aluminum one that I bought off my brother somewhere around 1980. Every few years I go buy some power bands and have fun for a few days, til I break the bands by pulling too hard, then I pack it away in storage once again.
*Awesome images of a custom, movie-prop crossbow below. Folding stock, folding prod, wooden frame, metal hand guard, pistol grip. If only...
*Thank God Winter Solstice has come and gone - now the days are getting longer! It's cold as hell though, and I'm not enjoying that one bit. No house heater!
*Finished watching the BBC 6-episode PA TV show called The Last Train. It's on YouTube in 9-minute chunks. It ROCKS! Seriously! It's got awesome ruins and it's bleak and unique. It's a grim little fairy tale. Go BBC!
*A Zombie Killer, made from lengths of bike & machine chain wrapped around a stout hammer handle. A "restored" relic from the Dark Years - that time after all the ammo was gone and most of the adults were dead, when humanity was saved by the child soldiers who used crude, neo-medieval weapons to literally hammer down the zombie uprising. Them was the heroes who measured thems' daily victories in tons of undead flesh.
