The Diary of an Unhealthy Dart Throwing Slug. Week Two of Nine.

Since graduating high school in 1971 where I was a nationally ranked swimmer (52.6 for the 100 fly – but my dogs can now beat me across our pool), …

Speaking of Darts, Penises and Women….
Today’s Dartoid’s World issue is a joke but not of the sort readers have grown accustom to finding in this space. It’s not about any of the screwy things that are found out and about the wacky world of our sport.

Drag Queens, Darts and the Old Dart Coach in Key West
In the last installment of Dartoid’s World I found myself in Ulaanbatar, Mongolia – the coldest national capital on the planet. Somewhere in the countryside yaks wandered the frozen tundra while I pounded the board with new-found friends …

Darts in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

The “No Baloney” Maloney Reunion Charity Dart Tournament
They don’t call her “No Baloney” for nothin’…
She was the best there ever was…

From the Big Bang to the Bikini Patrick Chaplin’s new book HAS IT ALL!
He’s been called eccentric. (He once made Page 3 of The Sun, a space generally reserved for the most serious bazoombas on the planet – so some people may have a point.)

Give Bromberg a Break – we ALL do Dumb Shit!
There’s an unforgettable scene in the comedy Hangover when the bachelor party guys are seated, not of their own will, in Mike Tyson’s living room. They’ve been “invited” by a couple of the champ’s bodyguards to return the fighter’s …

“Beware the Vortex!”
That was the message my old traveling buddy, Richard Sobol, sent me as I prepared to head to a business retreat in the Coconino Forest at an old cabin nestled among the stunning red and orange rock sandstone formations that surround Sedona, Arizona.

Darts Charlatans
There is a fundamental difference between promoting with zeal and knowingly misleading people in an effort to garner attention and profit for your enterprise.
