    Okay, I gotta know ...... what speakers are those ?
    If those are Radio Shack "Realistic" speakers, one might consider those as dogs.

    Not being judgemental, just...
    ...well....Woof !

    I lived in Northern Virginia in the 60's and 70's so I knew families that owned the darts. It was all fun and games until a couple people didn't pay attention and had their heads as the landing points. :'(
    The DART GAME was cool. It was a lot cooler than Badminton. ;)

    How many people have been injured by lawn darts?
    According to Mental Floss, the commission believed there had only been a few dozen injuries. The reality was much worse. "From January, 1978 to December 1986 lawn darts were responsible for an estimated 6,100 hospital emergency-room treated injuries," the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported.


    Just like "the clackers" on the string. They were fun too. I clacked some more than a few times. But I wasn't CRAZY enough to test their breaking limit.

    In the late 1960s people were playing like crazy with two small heavy balls on a string. Clackers, once set in motion made an ear-splitting sound, were super-fun, highly addictive, and sometimes would explode.

    So of course they were banned.

    By the early 70s, hundreds of toymakers had sold millions of clackers around the world. Clackers were similar in design to boleadoras, the weapon-of-choice for gauchos (Argentinian cowboys) who were trying to capture guanacos (an animal that looks like a llama). The toys could be made out of wood or metal. The ones made of hard acrylic plastic, however, could shatter on impact and become shrapnel. :s

    Toys for mass destruction.

    Yea, those clackers were fun to watch as they made that noise right close to our faces. :#

    We used to play lawn darts all the time. My parents also let me ride on the back dash when I was little. Wow,I didn’t realize how horrible they were. I also used to ride bikes,and mini bikes without a helmet. I think that was back when smoking wasn’t that bad for you.

    Yesterday, I was able to get a quick shot of this visitor in a tree in front of our house, but only with my iPhone -- not enough time to grab a real camera.

    I'm not fully versed on aerodynamics, but wouldn't that work similarly to a parachute?
