    Looking back at my youth and all of the stupid things me and my friends did, I'm honestly amazed that any of us are still alive. Lawn Dart wars were among the safer activities.

    I lost my front teeth to a pool egg, but I don't see anyone banning them. Damn you Obama!


    (I know Obama didn't ban them. He just happens to be the figurehead right now.)

    I know for a FACT that a pitcher of Margaritas actually improves your aim at this game, especially if youre playing in the dark at 2 a.m.

    I wish I was alive when lawn darts were popular...

    On a side note Javelin throwing in Highschool track is banned in my state because someone way back whenever didn't have good aim and killed someone else...

    @TaylerTesminombre: I was alive when lawn darts were popular and even played with them, but trust me, anyone with enough coordination to walk and think at the same time will lose interest after about five minutes.

    And so the metaphor of love became tangible, a physical manifestation of the mechanics of romantic relationships. Most were confused, and never quite figured out how it worked, yet the climbed upon the mechanical beast with two backs. Most were thrown, but a few, managed to survive long enough to give others hope that they could ride contentedly for the rest of their lives.

    @B52HVet: flippant reply aside, Deadwriter's comment gets my nomination for best comment of 2008. It's beautiful, yet like an authentic Persian rug has that single flaw - no, single omission that maintains its humility by intentionally avoiding perfection (the = they).
