Darts

I went to the local pub yesterday, drained a few Guinness's, and played darts on one of those electronic dart boards. Despite my brother thrashing me several games in a row, I enjoyed the competition and today I spent a few moments googling on "pub darts". 2,050,000 hits. Does Google provide 2M hits on every obscure topic? Who wrote that code anyway?

After I had finished reviewing all 2M URLs (not much to do today until the college football games start), I did find a few interesting ones.

Online games were common. The parkinson-esque movement of this one is most reminiscent of my own shaky throws.

Need to find a pub with darts? This site helps you locate one. Its for the UK but what the hell, listing one Chicago pub won't hurt them any. Especially since I used my brother's email for the contact. Spam anyone?

Worried about the status of the sport? Major angst in the UK about the gradual decline of darts. Apparently the younger crowd has moved onto those snazzy rollerball golf video games.

Want to win a few bucks? MacGowan's has a nice little tournament, and hey, who knew Compuserve was still running?

I'd like a nifty sign like this for my basement.

The eHow site tells you how to set up a dartboard (??) and how to win while blindfolded. Hey I only have one eye now, maybe I should enucleate the other to improve my game?

Lastly, I did the now-obligatory porn search, googling on "pub darts porn". Hits? Sure, 64,100 hits. Including information on chico1972 who likes drinking, mountain biking, darts, and of course porn. Pre-teen nudes? Yes, somehow they are involved with darts. And of course, a hit that references the Temple Bar on Calle Alvear in Buenos Aires, where the wait staff apparently downloads porn in between serving Guinness and playing darts and snooker.
