Dart Night
It’s Tybee Dart Season again and I love it. Monday nights hold a special
place in my heart. There’s nothing quite like a home game at your favorite
bar, and away games are a nice break from the same old same old. In the
drinking atmosphere on this Island, it’s nice to mix things up from time to
time. For a lot of us as well, Mondays are our weekend. A chance to blow
off some steam from the previous work days. Of course, winning darts is A
LOT more fun than losing. There are plenty of times that prove sometimes
alcohol, competition, and sharp metal objects don’t mix so well...
Where to start? I’ve heard about more incidents than I’ve witnessed, but
nonetheless it happens. One of my more accurate former teammates used
to like to throw a dart at that little strap on your flip-flop between your big
toe and the other four. You wanna be a smart alec? That’s cool. Dart in the
toe will usually get a rise out of someone! A rival team on the north end,
from what I understand, had an argument between teammates over the
lineup. When one of these said team members took a dart to the cheek, the
lineup was set. My sister’s team (we play on different teams for the same
bar) has a particularly odd way of warming up. Some lucky and idiotic soul
stands with their back to the dart board. The others then lineup and play a
little game of William Tell, landing darts as close to the scalp as possible.
I’ve been that idiotic soul, and thank goodness they are good. God I’ve
done some dumb drunken things. That’s no way to lose an eye!
Other sports, namely football, can also inspire some hostility. I have
had, and still do have, players who simply can’t play when their team is on
Monday Night Football. They get distracted and angry or too hyped up after
a score to be any kind of accurate. Worse yet, some fans just SHOULDN’T
play, but insist they do. Example: Player A is an Eagles fan. Score keeper
is a Cowboys fan. Guess who’s playing on MNF tonight. Cowboys bust off
a big touchdown return during the dart match. Do you really think that
Eagle’s fan can go against all his natural instincts and NOT throw that dart
at the score keeper? If you’ve ever met a single Eagles fan, you know the
answer.
The quickest way to start a fight has got to be to insult the home team’s
bar and board. It may sound silly, but don’t talk crap about my home. I’ve
had this happen and it NEVER goes over well. You say it’s too dark? Turn off
ALL the lights. Too drafty you say? Open the front and back door, and turn
on the air. Too smoky? Everyone light 2 cigarettes, even the non-smokers.
You yell at the score keeper once, you get a warning. Twice? Bottle crash.
My home game, my rules, get used to it and stop bitching. If you don’t want
to play thru it, then go back to Wilmington you white trash piece of shi...
Sorry, so sorry. Having a bit of a flashback on that one. Anyhow... If you’re
out on a Monday night and the local dart team walks in, have your camera
ready. You never know what you might see.
MMM...So
Good!
