Ok, Just One More...

Thought I was done telling slackline stories, but I was wrong. William went out and bought a brand-new slackline yesterday. It's nice and slick and red. We had to stretch it out really well before we could do any hardcore slacklining. Like previously, we launched William a good ten feet in the air.

After we got the slackline all stretched out and ready to go, we did all the crazy stuff we had done earlier. D-well was off to the side, sitting in a chair with his bean-bag cow. We threw the bean-bag cow ( let's call it "Cowie" ) at whoever was on the line at the time. I nailed Rebekah in the butt really well. Later on, William gets the great idea to launch Cowie with the slackline like a slingshot. We all hoped that Cowie didn't go too far, because the school was only about 1,000 feet away.

William lays down underneath the rope. He carefully places Cowie on the slackline. D-well gets into position to take a picture of the soon-to-be-airborne cow. William pulls on the slackline with all his might and as soon as he lets go, time slows down... Cowie is immediately pulled forward in extreme G's with the tenacious rope pushing his body. His arms flailed behind him as they try to catch up with his turbulent self. As Cowie reaches the point where he leaves the rope and flies out on his own into oblivion, the rope catches his foot and Cowie is flung around in the opposite direction. As Cowie suddenly experiences negative G's, he soon realizes that he will stop soon, and suddenly. Cowie hits his barrier with a resounding THUD -- William's face.

EVERYBODY just starts ROLLING! The group fell silent as no one could breathe. So D-well has to show William how to do it, so he gets into the position along with Cowie. He pulls with all his might and we see an event that looked all too familiar unfold before our eyes. Cowie goes, Cowie turns, and Cowie crashes; into D-well's face. At this point, I nearly crap my pants as I gasp for air. Believe it or not, this practice continued until a conclusion was made: Cowie can't fly.
