Jarts mate... they're called "jarts"

Or lawn darts, whatever. What a great game. We had them back in the day - everybody in the neighborhood did. There was some actual way you were supposed to play jarts with the ring and points and shit, but like all kids when confronted with something pointy, me and my friends just ran around the yard throwing them at each other.

Now, personally I don't know what all the fuss was about, cause I took more than a few lawn darts up the ass and, well, they hurt, but not "banned from sale" hurt. Nevertheless, on December 19, 1988, just in time for the Christmas season, all lawn darts were banned from sale in the U.S. They were evidently the cause of death for several children and were even cited in causing "skull punctures" (obviously some people were playing a different brand of jarts than me and my boys ever did).

I close with this appropriate line from the Wikipedia jarts article - "It should be noted that the specific incident that caused lawn darts to be made illegal also involved beer."

But they couldn't exactly ban beer now, could they? They already tried that. No, jarts, my pointy little friends, that was a battle you were bound to lose.
