armwrestling is the shit, good way to pass the time in the bar and is competitive and fun too. Favorite way to cheat is the headbutt.

I've never seen a dartboard that didn't have more holes in the wall than on the board.

Hi Phil Taylor

Never heard of the guy.

Is it really so hard to believe that I'm good at darts? I started playing in my basement as a kid and I liked it....and its like anything else, put in the time you get good.

In college, I found out what happens when you mix tiny wrist joints, straight bar bicep curls, and arm wrestling with your room mate...excruciating pain in which you cannot open a door, and you are holding your hands like some sort of deformed gimp.

I was throwing in practice one night before our match started and it must have been easily below zero outside. One of the lads came in freezing cold, took off his jacket and immediately threw an 11 darter. Sick darts, he's a counties player also but their captain has won the local championship for 18 out of the last 20 years (he retired for 2). He was offered a place in the BDO years back (before PDC started) but his wife wouldnt have him travelling all week so he politely declined. Eejit.

BTW Phil Taylor is Darts answer to Jordan, Pele, Tyson etc.

Surprising darts isn't a huge sport in America.

Fatties can become rich and famous.

Yes but it involves math. We are too lazy to add. Best left to the Asians.

wonder why snooker never took off over there either, they could ram 1000's of commercials in during the legs..

snooker is a hard sport to play, you think your great knocking pool balls all over the place, then you manage to have a run more than a few balls on a full size snooker table

cos snooker requires an attention span. and let's face it. snooker can be boring as fuck lol

darts, on the other hand, is one of the most fun spectator 'sports' there is.

you can tell this is getbig when someone bullshits about having a nine dart finish for big money

Haha, this post made me think of that guy a year or two ago who was a trucker and posting tall tails about how a bunch of red-hot dimes hang out around the truckstops waiting the fuck the daylights out of all the truckers, lol.

I searched for it but couldn't find it
