Mailbag: Don't Give Dan A Slingshot

I have one of those Carta Monir zines! Her work is suuuuper good. Very cool for her to send 'em in.

Nancy Drew and Dark Souls SHOULD be a series!

Dan, please be cool about slingshot safety!

Also, please please never use a gun outside of extreme supervision situations. Any weapon, even something not-intended-as-weaponry but still firing like an airsoft gun, being pointed at a person, especially their face is legit frightening.

I feel like we just got a glimpse of Xmas at Dan's house.

Dudes, you have to put a warning on the video if you're gonna show Funko Pops, ok?

It should be illegal to be given DragonBall GT

They had so much energy and excitement for this, I really enjoyed it.

Ah, the fabled CBS Health Care Fair snuggie/blanket thing. Things practically came to blows last time they were available at my office, and no one could figure out how to get one.

Those Pokemon keychains are from Burger King kids meals around the release of the first movie! I won a contest to win one of each at the BK near my grandma's house, but I lost all but one or two of them.

Dan, crouched on the floor, hiding under a dragon ball towel: "We're all adults!"

Oh Dan, never change.

Daniel a great guy and his poster is awesome! Great admin!

@eazeapeazea: Yeah it's a character he plays up for the camera. He's not stupid, far from it.

I had a slingshot like that as a kid. It was usually called a wrist rocket because you put your hand throught the metal/wrist part first and then grab the handle and the padded part rests against your wrist for awesome stability.

My god, I need that BCxDBZ shirt. Can I buy one please?!?!?!

Wow, remember Stabbing Westward? Haven't heard of that band in years.

Yeah, I had one too. Just like that one with the wrist support. We used to shoot old bottles with rocks like it was the old west. Once I shot a rock through a bottle with a hole on either side. The bottle didn't break, the rock just went right through.

Bottom line, those things are dangerous for a teenager, Don't let Dan handle it and especially not point it at people.

@davedwtho: Yep, thats what they were!

I'm not sure if they are illegal in NY, (or if NYC is different), but that was my box of stuff I sent; I bought the slingshot as a teenager (13 or 14 maybe), by myself in upstate NY at Walmart or KB Toys or something. Only did target practice with little rocks usually, (took little rocks off of a local playground). So maybe law has changed (20 years ago). Or maybe city law is different, (it is often times). But I didn't mean to send illegal things! I meant for Dan to have it though, and I thought Vinnie would take the foam nun-chucks! (I loved those as a kid, those are probably 30 years old?). You will notice I did not include the slingshot ammo though :) (I thought ahead = they were steel bee-bees that came with it).

Yeeeah, maybe get rid of that slingshot because slingshots with wrist braces are actually illegal in NY as per New York Penal Code § 265.01: Criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.

Having Dan lead the charge into the mailbag gave me anxiety after the "I thought there was a Goku in there" story. Totally was ready for him to tear open and ruin something. Not even mentioning the slingshot.
