I wonder if I could beat Lord Ellpus in a game of darts?

I was just watching some guys playing darts on tv. It was some kind of competition with the British against the Yanks. The damn Brits were winning every single match. Not even close -- they dispatched the Americans with relative ease. But the match that is going on right now is fairly close and the Yank looks like he might have a chance. But I just glanced over my shoulder to see how the match is going and the Brit is standing there with this smug look on his face, a look that portrays quiet confidence.

Will the Yank win? Will the Yank wipe that smug look off the Brit's face?

Could I beat Lord Ellpus in a game of darts?

These questions are haunting me right now.

I'll tell you why the Brits are good at darts, cos they spend most of their time down the pub.

Nice observation, Dorothy.

The Brits are good at darts because they seem to be so drunk that when they throw the dart they lose their balance and lurch forward as the dart is being released, giving them an advantage because they are then that much closer to the board.

Have you ever noticed that? Is there such a thing as a sober British dart player?

No there aint. It's a scientific fact that you play darts better when pissed. Give it a try.

Noooo, not pissed. There's a sweet spot some where on the sober side of pissed.

When tipsy and throwing a dart, the action is known as a beer buzz.

I could beat Gus, even if I threw them with my right foot.

<and I'm left footed>

Really, m'lud...is there any kudos to be won by beating Gus at ANYTHING?

Wouldn't it be a little tacky to even try?

I didn't know you were a southpaw.

Yes, apparently it's caused by oxygen starvation at birth.

You're eith-th-th-er left h-h-h-handed, or you develop a s-s-s-stutter.
