I formally apologize to everyone involved. I've been extremely busy and honestly forgot about it.
With that out of the way, I guess it's that time.
Without futher adeu, I proudly announce the winner of this season's Ghetto Award. Coming in a tie for second place is qwerty and his clothespin bbmg and chinnerz and his smashbottle pneumatic. (pauses for a round of applause).
And the winner...of this season's Ghetto Award goes to (begins opening envelope slowly, building the excitement with the crowd)...
JoergS and his condom slingshot
Congratulations Joerg. You are truly an inspiration to all slingshotters out there. And you have, without a doubt, proven that, with just a little bit of patients and a great deal of ingenuity, one can make the most ghetto or the most elogant of things.
Now, I present to you, The Ghetto Award
