The Land of Confusion and Pissed off!
Feedback: 49 / 0 / 0
You know, I don't know what made me think of this.

But I had a pair somewhere around here. They are pretty beat up because I used to play them all the time. Hell, I kept them in the trunk of my car, and a co-worker and I would play at lunch.

Right now, I have no idea where they are...but man they are hard to find if I ever wanted a new pair.

Anyway, did anyone else love to play this game?
 
Yeah we had a set of the old-school steel ones. Fun game, used to play it at my Grand'mas ever since I was big enugh to pick up the dart.

I wonder if Gram kept them or "Had them Destroyed"...

You really have to be foolish to get hurt by them. they're big and heavy and can do a LOT of damage.....but it's much like horseshoes, it's not a fast-paced game.

All our game were played with both adults and children, and even at large gatherings. Supervision is all that's needed to prevent 99% of all accidents.

Yea, my grandma had them when we were kids as well. And we played them all the time...just us kids in my grandparents backyard.

But then, these are the same grandparents that let me shoot guns.

They must be bad people.


I knew that they were outlawed. I was just saying that it sucks that they are hard to find...as I can't find mine around the house...and I know that they are here somewhere.

And, that I would like another pair...
 
I picked up a set at a garage sale several years ago. One of the darts had the tip broken off. I've just never gotten around to getting a piece of steel rod to make a replacement with.

And I still don't understand how anyone can get hurt with these things... the tip is blunt, and any idiot should understand that you don't play CATCH with these things!

They make bigger idiots these days, and most seem to migrate, like Lemmings, to Washington! [cry]

Just like with guns, 3 people get killed in a country with 200million and they must be banned!!
 
We used to have dart fights with regular darts in my cousin's backyard. I remember running the gauntlet and having 4 darts stuck in my body while I ran for cover.

I agree with Ross, unless you throw a lawn dart 100 feet in the air, you can't get stuck with one. [roll]

DAMN I thought I was the only one! Well, that and BB gun fights. We would use the old daisy pump guns and we had a rule "Only one pump"


Ahhhh... Good times!

LOL you guys had the one pump rule too?!?!? Every once in a while you would hear someone pump more than once and you'd have to yell at them to shoot it out. [lol]

LOL Fester. We let my buddy with his co2 pistol play one day. I had to use a dental pick to get the bb out of my thigh. [lol]

See if my parents had just let me buy a paintball gun like I asked... [lol]
 
Ya know...with all the things that have been banned or remade or redesigned since I was a kid....it's absolutely INCREDIBLE that we all survived childhood.

And the effect of this ban? The gene pool is now loaded with people who don't know that "Javelin Catcher" isn't a particularly desirable vocation. I remember reading several of the founding fathers commenting that only a complete fool would want to live in a pestelential swamp like DC, and ~230 years of history have proved them correct once again.
