Blog Darts Housekeeping

The blog is missing some 180s. Please bear with me.

A filthy 180 . . . absolutely filthy

The middle dart was the third dart and it's just 'resting' between the other two darts, barely touching the board. 

If it wasn't for the other two darts, it would be on the ground and I would be staring at it in disgust.

"This wasn't in the script . . . "

Famous last words, and all that, but Anderson has come steaming back in the Grand Slam of Darts against Luke Littler.

Frankie says . . .

. . . it looks like you need a new board. That 5 segment looks bent out of shape.

Busted . . . but flush

I was on 60 . . . I needed a single 20 for double tops . . . I hit a triple 20 . . . and just kept going.

. . . still won the leg.

Midnight at the Oasis apartment

I liked the Brand New Heavies back in the day, and I don't give a fuck who knows.

Bushfires in Bushwick?

Apparently, there are smoke warnings across Brooklyn right now. What can I say  . . . my darts are on fire.

. . . nothing like a bit of hubris on a Saturday night. Bay Ridge did used to be a Greek neighborhood, after all. (American spelling, folks.)

'Don't quote me on this . . . '

. . .  but this 146 might be my highest ever check out. And, funnily enough, I threw for a 156 checkout about 10 minutes later. Of course, I missed the D18 . . . I hate the D18 as a rule.

That Paul Rudd meme

I'm scrambling for *checks notes* witty post titles . . . so, sometimes, I just have to go with whatever noise is happening in the background at the time of writing. Step forward Mr Rudd and that meme/gif . . . whatever the fuck it is.

14 Darts

According to a significant section of the political chattering class, a fascist is back in the White House. 

I don't buy it myself. Trump will always fall into the category of a klepto-capitalist, who is just in the job to enrich himself, to avoid jail and for the added shits and giggles. And enough people bought it. Never knew there were so many Shy Trump voters out there. You live and learn.

The weird thing is that I can't help feeling that - with the benefit of hindsight - the Democrats would have done better with a doddering Biden against Trump.

Okay, that's enough highfalutin political analysis. In happier personal news, I just hit a 14 darter. My best ever score in a 501 game. Okay, I'm playing a Dart App  . . .  it's not a real game . . . but I'll take it.

For the completists among you, my darts were 140, 180, 95, 30, 56. A 56 checkout in 2 darts. 

A Triple 1 instead of a Triple 18 - and it was on the bastard wire - denied me the chance to throw for a 11-darter. That would have been fucking wild.

The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice a 180 in amongst that lot. Here it is:
