Hurricane Wilma is banging her way through Florida as I write this and if you read some sort of sexual innuendo into that you're probably just a beer-swilling darts player.

Which is GOOD NEWS…

… because the rumors are TRUE

There's SO much going on in the world of darts right now that a fan has to have arachnid eyes to keep up with it all. I'll bet you didn't know that many spiders have eight eyes. I'll bet you don't give a rat's ass either.

Last week, Raymond van Barneveld won the World Masters. Yesterday, John Part was dumped in the first round of the Sky Bet World Grand Prix while, hours later, Dennis Priestley produced some of that "old time magic" to send Roland Scholten packing.

The World Series of Darts -- DETAILS!
# 201 11/11/2005

When we last left our discussion of the World Series of Darts the line between rumor and fact was about the width of the wire separating the little bitty triple twenty from the big fat triple one. Which reminds me: WHY exactly IS the triple one bigger than the triple twenty? This is wrong and should be changed!

But now, the wire is as thick as New Jersey’s Howie Dirk’s belly was before he got married and started doing crunches to become the slimmed down Adonis of a man he is today. He’d look wonderful on bar television screens across America, if only he could throw a dart.

Here are the FACTS as they stand on November 11, 2005.
