We used to grab oranges from the cafeteria at school and launch them.

We used to shoot anything we could get our hands on. Orange were always good. Ballons filled with jello or pudding. Golfballs would go flying forever.

it would be like 2am and we would shoot crap out of a friends backyard and try to gauge the shot to hit cars on the opposite street. It was all fun and games until we broke a window (not on purpose) and the boys in blue got called out. We payed for the window and the cop cut the slingshoot into about 80 pieces....the next day we got a new one

i've lost two of them so far... me and 2 friends brought one to summer camp about 4 years ago and I stole a bunch of apples and oranges from the cafeteria, we skipped them across the lake. Turns out we hit a lifeguard with half an apple after it hit the water and fragged and we got 3 hours of kitchen duty (just hit on the hot waitresses)
and lost our sling king.. another involved us shooting it at a friend's front door and it split the door in half. we had to buy the door and got another slingshot confiscated.. good times....

We've messed with them before, but never damaging anyone's property, especially cars. I'd be more than pissed off to find that a bunch of dipshits damaged my car because they were bored.

its like a 4 man process. 3 to hold the ballon open and 1 to pour. You have to use the HUGE ballons. fill it half with pudding (your personal choice of flavor is fine) then fill rest with air.

That's awesome! At my friends house in town, we'd get whatever we could to launch it at this frat a block down that we hated! We used cans of tuna, frozen beers, huge cans of tomato paste, anything you name it! We went and looked at the damage later and it put huge holes in a wooden fence and broke many parts of it!!!!

Those things are fun, but if you pull them back too far you better watch the **** out. My friend now has a glass eye because of one of those things snapping.

PS Baseballs are the best for ultimate damage.
