Jujubes. And that's all I'm gonna say about it. Not one word more. NOT ONE!

Don't mean to be picky, but they have to be green!

Actually, black, yellow or red would work, too. But no blue ones, unless they are whales--and then they wouldn't be jujubes as the civilized world knows them. Lemme know.

Actually, no, I don't. I have to go to the theatre here (film) to get them, (IF they still have them) and I NEVER go to the theatre. Never.

Local theatre is the ONLY place I've ever seem them anywhere I've lived.

Now, if I actually DID, I'd send you a box. Sorry, Pal.

Oh, thanks, Sorcha. I don't want any. Just out of ammo for my slingshot.

I was always a Necco wafer guy at the movies---six cents a roll. Never did cotton to Jujubes; too small, too hard and too little flavor... otherwise they were really good.

Of course, when you go On Tour you can specify the types and colors of Jujubees you want in your dressing room. And if whats-his-name can shoot a flaming arrow from the stage into the audience, you can certainly sling-shoot Jujubees.

Jujubees suck! If I had a choice between a hundred pounds of Jujubes and a single Snickers bar, I'd go with the Snickers. Same for those damned Gummi Bear things. Nothing but sugar and some sorta shit that glues your friggin' teeth together. Yeah, I know all candy's just empty calories, but I prefer something that at least pretends to be food.

I like the red and yellow ones best. The trouble is, I don't eat stuff like that anymore...but if I did, it would be the red and yellow jujubes.

Milk Duds...it sounds like milk failed to work or explode.

I like Junior Mints. Am I, a senior, still allowed to eat them?

I was never sure when I was allowed to eat Now and Thens...it was so confusing. Now? Then? Later? When?

Why did I eat Sen-Sen when I was neither a smoker nor a drinker? Did I even know that was its primary use then?

Does anyone remember a candy bar called Seven Up during the 1960s. It was like a Whitman Sampler (seven different candies) but all attached in one break-apart bar.

Liquorice. Any kind of liquorice, so long as it's black -- like, you know, real liquorice. It can be a Twizzler or a bag of Nibs or even those disgusting candy-coated Goodies things that taste of cheap perfume. Basset's Liquorice All-Sorts -- yesssss. Or that double-salted Dutch stuff, but I gather that's a minority taste. All the more for me.

For extra range, accuracy and (let's be honest) killing power you need a Gobstopper

OK. Now there is someone who knows slingshots. Knock a V-8 engine off its mountings with one of them.

For catapult power you need a Barnett "Black Widow" and aniseed balls
in experiments it had a range of over 300 yards!!!!if you use BBs it was about a quarter of a mile!!

I have a Black Widow. Problem is ya need a really still day to use one if ya want accuracy past 50'.

To get back to the expressed topic of this good thread after all this thread creep:

It is a sad story from my youth that I was told about. My uncle got very tired of having to clean out the bottom of his too shallow outhouse. He lived in a cabin on old mining property in Southern Illinois, so he built his next outhouse over an abandoned mine shaft that he'd never ever have to dig out.

The day he finished it, he went out there to be the first one to use it! After 4 hours, my father decided they ought to go and check on his wellbeing. They found him sitting there----dead----aparently asphyxiated. My dad figured out, he thought, what had "gone down"---so to speak. For some reason, uncle always held his breath until he heard the splash!!!!!

Art, that's better than the Dillard"s outhouse story...and I believe a couple of words of it.
