Thursday Darts, Week 12 (4-5-12)

Final Score: Da Geeks 5, Bud Guys 2. Don, Ernie, and Chuck showed up at one of the worst places to throw darts, Michael's Sports Pub and Grill. Greg took the night off and Kim subbed for him.


I say that Michael's is a bad place to throw darts for numerous reasons. Take a look at this picture and I will " 'slpain Lucy":

This was taken from the line and you can see that the area is in a traffic area, the traffic to the restrooms and for the staff to take dirty dishes to the back. With a lot of people drinking, this can be quite a challenge at times. Notice the "broken" punching machine in the background. It is so funny how it "breaks" every time I show up there to shoot. With it not broken, people, aka "macho men", try to show off and take no consideration of us trying to hold a league match. In the picture you can see an opening to the upper area where there is one of those basketball games. Last night some people were playing the game, a beer placed on the railing in the opening, a bounced ball, and presto, beer being spilled on the table below where my open darts case was, my sweatshirt, and the score sheet for the night. Lastly the carpet that is below the dart area has no padding underneath and when a dart bounces out of the dried, worn out bull hits the ground.....more about that later.


I started out the night slow but then I caught my groove and won my first game. The second game I had a good lead until one of my darts bounced out of the bull, hit the floor, and I bet the tip of the dart causing a noticeable burr on the tip. I could not find my sandpaper and my fish-hook sharpener was lost a while ago by either Greg or I so I was thinking about the tip, not my game and lost the second one. The rubber match was all me as I found the sandpaper and corrected the tip and just threw good darts.


Kim started out strong but Ironman Ernie (Fe) did he thing and beat him. Marvin started out slow but came on strong to win his singles. Kim did take the last dart out pot and he took his dollar out and handed me the rest of the pot ($5) for his sub fee.


The Honor Roll had everyone but Kim get a 3x2, something you don't see every day.
