Flog It Blog It, Fantastic Elastic!



It will be Valetines' Day soon and I have the perfect present for my peeps. Actually it is something I want and it so going to hurt those pesky tree rats. We all remember pinging elastic bands at each other as kids. Now one student has gone one better and designed a rubber band machine gun.  Capable of firing 14 shots a second this is just the thing I need when out for a lark in the park. It holds 672 rubber bands and can fire up to a distance of 8 metres. There would be no escaping me now. Who would you like to ping a few elastic bands at? Fantastic elastic we say.
 
Have a fabulous Friday now and don't forget......



Coming soon......all details are here at Madis' place.

  11. That looks like fun. BTW Molly our mom does have some bandana designs with tree rats on them (they actually are in a circle with a line through them). They say "Squirrel Patrol" or "Backyard Security" but can be modified to say almost anything you might like such as "Park Patrol" too.

  15. Ping elastic bands at sewer rats! Ambercat presented me with a headless rat corpse, I think she's related to Jack the Ripper as it also has no internal organs at all... she is a skilled surgeon. I would like to ping those nasty rats away - the flooding here is bringing them out for a swim methinks.

  16. She remembers making a single shot out of a clothes peg. Is it a sign of the times that kids make rapid fire rubber band guns? But it would be good for gettin' squirrels....they move so quickly.
