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 my grandmother's set in the garage, I call them "real" lawn darts, they are the metal ones

Of course as kids we used to play with them and see who would stand in the little circle the longest without moving lol we too were in the 15 and younger age range

A custodian in a building I worked in handed me an unclaimed EMS windstopper fleece jacket about 20 years ago and I've been wearing it ever since, or at least whats left of it. Sure wouldn't mind finding another one just like it...
