A word of advice

The Netherlands have seen an increase in dart-related accidents since a Dutchman won the World Darts Tournament.

Blue Crab Boulevard is here to help with Gaius’ handy dart tips (pun intended).

1. Sharp end goes AWAY from the player. Those little thingies on the back of the darts, called flights, should help you locate the correct end.

2. If you cannot locate the sharp end, you should consider taking up another sport. At once.

3. Allow other players to retrieve their darts and return to a safe location before you throw your darts. Unless the other player was a jerk and didn’t buy a round of drinks.

4. There are NO goalies in darts. Don’t fall for that one, newbies.

5. Darts are quite light. One does not need a major league baseball wind-up to throw. If the dart rebounds and the sharp end gets you, you threw too hard.

6. If the sharp end is coming towards you, duck.

7. It is considered bad manners to stick other players with the sharp ends. See exception in number 3 (above).

8. Remember to buy the requisite number of drinks. Or expect the exception noted in number 3 (above) will likely happen to you.

9. If a player has an entourage, a huge dart case and a world dart championship jacket, do not play for money.

10. If another player hits you with the sharp end, consider the appropriate response. About .45 caliber is right.

Everyone be safe out there!

Events in Nigeria

Judith Apter Klinghoffer has a post up on HNN about Nigeria. It is not very encouraging. Appeasement of Muslim extremists has been interpreted as weakness on the Christian’s part. This has, in turn, escalated violence and murder.

Appeasement has never worked against violent extremists. Our media should be aware of this by now. But they are either blind or outright deluding themselves. Or both.

She’s HOW old?

A 62 year old great-grandmother has just given birth to her 12th child.

She’s three years away from retirement age and just gave birth? Good Lord. She’s a glutton for punishment.

This is creative

The little town of Marne, Iowa has come up with a novel plan to increase it’s population from 149 to 200.

Give away free land.

It appears that they have been swamped with applications since the program was announced. They will allow modular homes, but no trailers.

Here’s the application.

This is interesting

A former stripper turned evangelical Christian reaches out to sex industry workers. She goes into strip clubs and pays for lap dances so she can talk to the dancers about her faith. She and her fellows are attending adult industry events to hand out bibles wrapped in T-Shirts that say “Holy Hottie” on them. She’s running a website to reach out as well. These are three very attractive young women, incidentally. (I don’t recall ever seeing church ladies that looked like this in any congregation I attended!)

Here’s the JC’s Girls website.

I used to work with a guy who’s wife went bananas if he went into a strip club. He should read this article, it will help him out.

“That wasn’t a lap dance, dear. It was a theological discussion!”

Anger management

Is not this guy’s strong suit. A Florida man has been charged with killing his roommate. Well, more than just killing him actually. He beat the other man to death using a sledgehammer and a claw hammer. The victim had to be identified by his fingerprints.

The two men were arguing over toilet paper. I’d call this a bit of an over-reaction…..
