Are There Advantages... To a Man With a Titanium Shaft... 😶

"And then he says to the judge - well, if it were mine, I wouldn't have put it in MY mouth."

I almost choked on my vodka as the four of us sat there and burst out laughing. Jennifer had always reigned supreme as the queen of the triple entendre.
The waitress walked up and paused as we calmed down and wiped the tears from our eyes. She then cleared the table and settled fresh drinks in front of each of us.

Lynn looked at me and rolled her eyes as if to say, haven't we had enough? John caught Lynn's frown and playfully admonished her with a boisterous, "Oh, come on, we're celebrating Wednesday and no one's driving."

I smiled back at Lynn. She'd admit that even though Jennifer and John were a bad influence - and occasionally annoying - sharing a faithful mid-week chuckle had become an oasis in the otherwise empty abyss of our social lives. We looked forward to these weekly adventures; especially since we'd quit the choir.

A dartboard was vacant, and someone signalled us. Drinks in hand, we shuffled over to a spot by the far end of that dark oak wall and readied ourselves. I yanked the worn darts out of the battered and beaten board and eyed the faded bullseye; my undulating target was in sight. Now, if I could only stop seeing double, I might have a chance. I stood and waited for my opponent.

John *assiduously pulled out his custom leather holster. He diligently sharpened the stainless steel tips on all three of those 24 gm titanium gripped darts and gently caressed the fine *fletching with his fingers. Finally satisfied, he raised his head and confidently grinned at me.

I stared back at him and blinked... then took a gulp from my glass. Ok then, let's fling these fucking darts, I laughed to myself; determined more than ever - to beat this grinning ringer.

.
............................
*assiduously ; with great care and perseverance.
*fletching ; the feathers of a dart.

............................

I never got any good at darts, but it was a fun way to pass the time with friends. And no one got hurt. lol 😂
It's been a long while since I've been back to that club. The music was great and the drinks were always cold.

Remember back in the days - before that BUG? Where did you hang out with friends who made you laugh? 😊

I think we ALL long for the days when we can socially interact with others not inside our current 'bubble', Paul. Hopefully they will arrive sooner rather than later. Stay safe...... Cheers.

I am offended that you think we readers need the definition of assiduously!

I'll concede that fletching was helpful, though.

It's been quite a while since I've had a neighborhood bar hangout but I have some good memories of the CC Club at 26th and Lyndale in Minneapolis.

I haven't played darts in years, but I wasn't very good when I did play.

There was this one club in WI some friends and I went to but I can not remember the name and when I did a search I could not find it,; so it might be long gone now. The last time I was with some friends were a week ago at one friend house and we had our mask on . We laughed and talked and had a good time in spite of what we all are dealing with now.

The Light is shinning and she is lonely and waiting in the darkness.

So much fun to watch those Brits and a thousand fans going crazy 🤪. Yep.
I got hooked a few times.
I could never come close to their precision. Hmmm
But I agree... It was, it will be a choice and a lot of fun someday soon.
Those bars were just so chill! 👍 😎❗❗🍷🍷
240? What was your best score? Or were you like me? lol 😂

Happy to oblige.
I feel the same way.
I have a blog coming up, all about Iceland 🇮🇸.
I'll nudge you. Thanks for popping in. 👍

lol 😂... I can just imagine your butt wiggling to make that 'double'.
Ahhh... darts. So simple, so benign.

So much fun. lol 😂
Ever meet one of those snobs with his titanium set?
We'd sit there and throw 'em. lol 😂 😮
Is there a fun place nearby?

Neither was I.
The trouble is, ya gotta hang in that place to get better, and ya can't get better without hanging, on to that bar tab.
I always avoided keeping score and focused on NOT hurting anyone.
Cheers to darts and the art of the mini bow. 🍷🍷❗😎

Is it about our Robbin Hood heritage and myths?

True...
I'm not waiting for that dart place to open, I'm just hopeful the average day will present itself. You know what I mean.
Cheers 🍷 🍷 😎 ❗

Ya knew that one? 🤔
Lol 😂... I didn't want to offend by presuming everyone did.

Such a fine line between a hopeless dive and a place that's comfortable, draped with character - and sprinkled with friends you can smile with. There's one, not too far from me.
It's called 'Chez Paul'. No joke.😎🍷🍷❗

So... I shouldn't provide vocabulary aides? 🤔

lol 😂... I can't disagree with you.
So much fun where the cliché is - they sorta knew your name.
Yep...
What was the food group they hooked you on? 🤔

Don't say ribs... lol 😂 Loved places like that.

Well, good for you.
I find it such a pain to sip through that mask. I haven't been anywhere.
I understand what you mean. Ya think they went under? 🤔
We'll get it back, in time.
Does fries at Mickee Dee's count? 🍷🍷😎❗
UGH... LOL 😂

I miss traveling, pampering myself at the hairdresser and working. My best friend and I have a ‘weekly sanity check’ which switched from a telephone call to a Zoom meeting.

Zoom is a great idea!
There's no replacement for travel. I wonder if THAT will ever be restored. 🤔
Slowly but surely... 🍷🍷

I dunno. I've been reading Lindo for years and I could really use a vocabulary guide!

I used to dine out with friends on the weekends.
Sherman dines out with me. But so many won't.


Paulxx001 replies on 10/2/2021 18h09:
I'm clustered with 'dictionary' and 'Grammarly' and a bunch of others. I should really read more, but I don't make the time.
It's what it is.
Let's proliferate with mutual fluffs that provoke. I can think of a few that would provoke a reaction.
It's all good. 👍

I would. ❗😎🍷🍷
Ya know, I'm a great cook, but damn, do I enjoy it when I get, service, and that perfect mix of flavours that twist my mind and get me thinking.

Yep.. Cheers 🥂 😎 ❗
