Lawn Darts
Jarts. Used to have a couple of sets at the house when I was younger. They were a lot of fun!

You old. LOL. Those have been gone for a long time! At one point replaced with plastic round nosed versions. Not the same though.

From Wikipedia:
"...on December 19, 1988, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission introduced an outright ban on lawn darts in the U.S. In the previous eight years, 6,100 Americans had visited hospital emergency rooms as the result of lawn dart accidents. Of that total, 81% were 15 or younger, and half were 10 or younger.."

I have Cabelas clothing too that is discontinued and better than any other option I have found--a pair of mittens and a synthetic fill puffer with a tough shell that always seems to punch above its weight in warmth. Serious question--does anyone know where all the Cabelas brand clothing used to come from? I assume there was no Cabelas designers inventing it and Cabelas factories making it and it was all rebranded from someone else, but a lot of quality items back in the day.

I thought he meant mergansers and have been wondering this whole time since why if someone was able to get rid of them, they'd want them back....

the yard game makes more sense.....
