If one uses glossy magazine pages, and carefully trims the darts, you can make very awesome blowdarts that will launch as much as 100 yards, using a length of pipe or pvc. Trick is tearing a corner out so they can be rolled even tighter, becoming ten-inch needles of paper.

I may just have had a few too many, but this sounds stupidly fun – it’s like pin-the-tail on the donkey for vegans or something.

What to do, when the economy has imploded and you can’t afford to simply buy a set of pub darts.

Keep the cat out of the room. Not a game for the easily frustrated.

The creators of lawn darts must have seen this and decided it wasn’t dangerous enough.

Why not just use darts?

Looks like a fun game, but my, that’s a funny illustration.

Forget the paper darts…. use hand guns.

A fun variation on the game:

1. Everyone is blindfolded, standing in a large circle.

2. A small child, holding a potato, stands in the center of the circle, slowly turning around.

3. The drunken adults try to hit the potato with the darts.

Putting holes in the wall and the possibility of physical injury? Sign me up!
No really, that looks like it would be great fun when you’ve been drinking.

Ah! the fun activities people did for fun before television.
