My fiancee and I were out on the porch playing darts. It was my turn. I threw a couple of stinkers, and then I threw this: [Photo 1](http://www.potliquor.net/images/dart1.jpg) Here’s a [closeup](http://www.potliquor.net/images/closeupdart.jpg). I swear to Christ that I threw it from regulation distance, and that the scene and photos are completely unmanipulated. It happened, and my jaw dropped. I mean, my God. What are the chances? ---

The title should read “Completing…” Sorry. ---

20 with three darts is pretty average, you know. ---

That is nuts. I’d be framing that and sticking it on the wall. Especially since I really just like the close-up photo in and of itself. Nicely done 😉 ---

> [@Mycroft Holmes](#): > > 20? He threw a 6 with three darts, and frankly, that sucks! 😃 How are you guys scoring it? Looks like an 11 on 3 darts to me. I won’t tell you how much that sucks, though, **Otto**. You seem to be getting enough og that. 😉 ---

> [@Casey1505](#): > > How are you guys scoring it? Looks like an 11 on 3 darts to me. I wouldn’t actually count the third dart (the one stuck in the other), since it’s not on the board. I know you don’t get any points if a dart hits another and doesn’t “stick” in the board. That’s why I said it was a 6. ---

Hey, you should go buy yourself a lottery ticket or something. Because this could be the universe trying to tell you it’s your lucky day. Better listen. 😃 ---

I know you don’t get any points if a dart hits another and doesn’t “stick” in the board. That’s why I said it was a 6. The rules of the leagues I’ve played in wouldn’t count this. 6 points it is. Unless you were playing Cricket, then you’ve got nada. Ruining the flights is one thing, did you bend the hell out of the prongs to hold the flights on? ---

I’ve done this once before (I play alot). Was there very much alcohol involved? Were you actually aiming at a completely different part of the board? Those were the factors required for me. Luckily I was at a crowded bar & it resulted in many free drinks & many games to try & duplicate the effect. ☹ It will never happen again. Be happy you had a camera. ---
