Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

[osv]

Are horseshoes any less dangerous if you want to hurl one at another person?

Or regular darts, baseball, golf, anything thrown, hit, or involving a projectile?

My brother and I used to throw these over the house to each other, when he was still alive.

And you wonder why people wanted it banned?

Horseshoes don't have a point. That's why the new version doesn't.

Or regular darts, baseball, golf, anything thrown, hit, or involving a projectile?

Ditto.

I get your point, pun intended. My point is what is it that makes us in North America so stupid compared to those in the rest of the world? I remember playing with these with my brother unsupervised without any issue. We were around 10 years old. We still did stupid stuff, but there is a certain level of stupid which we never ventured into.

I get it... anything can be made dangerous with enough beer.

Let’s go camping!

Campfire! Open Flame!
Cooler full of beer!

What could possibly go wrong?!

Yep.

Yep! Things that somebody ever wanted to see (or hear) in the first place.

No, I don't wonder why they were banned.
But seeing the increasing numbers of people with bad luck thinking, I have to question the wisdom of removing all of the darwinian obstacles that cleanup the gene pool.

How in the name of Jayzuzonabicycle did this weapon ever get reimagined as a ‘toy’?!

Not familiar with those. But I can enjoy a game of normal darts. But aside from a simple game of skill, those arrows are used by parents to teach arithmetic, and by soccer hooligans as weapons.

Hard to say if they're a good or a bad thing on balance.

When that first popped up I was sure it was a metal album cover.
