Mr. Slingshot Showing Off His 220-Pounder

Remember Mr. Slingshot? He is like, soooooo into slingshots. I heard he likes them so much he wants to marry them. I know, it's that serious. Me? I'm married to the lord. Or is that nuns? I dunno, but one of them used to let us drink the Ocean Spray cran-grape juice out of the refrigerator at church before it was transubstantiationed. It was a habit. HIYO -- nun joke! This is Mr. Slingshot about to send a little car to meet its maker (Ford? I have no idea). Per the man himself:

You gotta love a burly-ass dude who signs off his Youtube videos with a sweet "thanks for watching -- byebye", amirite? I am. Great, so now you're in love with him too. I knew I shouldn't have pointed that out!

Hit the jump for the would consider bringing to a knife-fight.

Thanks to Fernando, who reminded me of the Andy Griffith Show episode where Opie kills a mother bird with a slingshot and then feels bad because the babies don't have a mom anymore. I cried. HARD.
