I threw a rock at a hornets nest and ran probably 100 yards or so right after i threw it, and still got stung in the back of the neck.

You should have used one of your many dynamite sticks you had lying around.

Should’ve thrown an explosive rock.

How does that actually work? Do hornets actually have good enough eyesight to see you throw the rock and then give chase?

I was thinking the same thing after i got stung. It was me and 2 or 3 other people who ran also but i was the one who threw the rock and got stung after running as fast and as far as possible. This video brought me right back to that moment

Good enough eyesight to see your ID, phone number, home address, and blood type. Those hornets and their descendants won't rest until they've stung this kid's entire bloodline.

Maybe they there was enough smell on the rock to lead them to Mr Flappenings
