As the World Cup heats up, a word about willies and women…
Today’s Dartoid’s World issue is a joke but not of the sort readers have grown accustomed to finding in this space. It’s not about any of the screwy things that are found out and about the wacky …

Whoopin’ darts ass in Paradise!
Far be it from me to steer anyone away from a couple weeks of sun and fun in Puerto Vallarta – the place is amazing.
Pristine beaches etch endlessly into the sunset. Bikinis are everywhere. The nightlife runs into morning – the Dos Equis …

Drag Queens, Darts and the Old Dart Coach in Key West

WAKE UP! SEE THE LIGHT!
If you are a league that is still sending dues to the ADO or a player who attends tournaments “sanctioned” by the ADO (and hence adding funds to their coffers via a surcharge on your entry fees) and you are not aware of the …

EIGHTEEN YEARS!
It been more than 18 years since the American Darts Organization has shared a financial report.
REPEAT: EIGHTEEN YEARS!

The World Seniors Dart Championship deserves massive support. And Larry Butler!
To quote the greatest of them all, darts fans should be “over the moon” at news of the upcoming World Seniors Darts Championship. I certainly am.

Darts and politics DON’T MIX!
“For some time, I have been working on a column, struggling really,” I wrote to a friend recently.
Writer’s block? No. I never have a problem putting words to paper.
