Lawn darts were fun

Maybe an HCL Lawn Darts tournament should be in the works???
I love a good drinking game.
I'm good at games and drinking!! (Shhh, I'll make sure you are on my team!! # Winning)!!
I bet my parents set is in the top of their garage
One step closer to the tournament
Are launchers allowed for those a little bit older than , say Hashbrown and Pearl ???
Only if you're on my team!!
I missed out on lawn darts. 
Maybe I can just bring my crossbow and stand way back?

Ahhh….fond memories plying lawn darts. And we didn’t even wear helmets!
Jarts are fun times.
If we are all on one team, it won’t be much of a competition. Maybe if we could find an opposing team like a say those snazzy dressed book readers that go on parade
Whoa.....I just want the drinkers and shooters!!If we are all on one team, it won’t be much of a competition. Maybe if we could find an opposing team like a say those snazzy dressed book readers that go on parade

to be safe we could all throw lawn darts at targets downrange made out of tannerite? Tannerite being the explosive target material favored by rural americans with a penchant for lighting forest fires in montana.
If there’s bonus points for catching the lawn dart (without injury) I’m in.Whoa.....I just want the drinkers and shooters!!
My parents bought a lawn darts set. We played often enough that there were holes in the plastic rings.
Somehow, for some reason, it was phased out for croquet.

Yes, AND you can carry a croquet mallet!If there’s bonus points for catching the lawn dart (without injury) I’m in.
We can have throwers and defenders. Throwers get lawn darts, protectors get trash can lids and croquet mallets!
Only about a minute and a half.

We played with lawn darts for years, our kids did too. I don't remember anyone getting hurt. I guess some of us had responsible parents back them.
Sorry, you didn't make the team!!
