LOL
As kids, we used to throw those Jarts back and forth, (disregarding the plastic hoops we were supposed to be aiming at) trying to catch them before they hit the ground.
Once in a while and totally by accident, some neighborhood kid wouldn't let go at the right time and let one fly straight up. All we could do was duck our heads and wait for it to come back down... we should have been running for cover.
Sometimes when I take the time to reflect back on the good old days, I am totally amazed that I lived through them.

Jarts were great! Its not often that your Mom lets you have the fun of playing a rediculously dangerous game in the back yard that will surely end with a broken window or serious injury! ;D Of course, the box says that everyone should stand behind one ring and throw towards the other, but even the dumbest kid quickly realizes that you can eliminate all that walking by having one team at each end and simply throw them back and forth at each other. You don't want to waste time walking when there's deadly projectiles to be thrown!

I loved them! My Dads shed did not. I'm sure they would easily pierce a sheet metal roof or siding. Mythbusters should test to see if you could pierce the breastplate of medieval armor with one. |

There were two brothers in our neighborhood who constantly fought. One outing, the younger got upset at the older, again, and used a Jart to make his point. We all learned that day that by using a half-speed toss, the Jart will not penetrate the shoulder-blade bone. It will pierce the skin though. Me and my other neighbor took the Jart set to the lake one day and speared small sunfish using an overhand whip-like throw into the shallow water... where we were also standing in our bare feet. We then tryed cooking the fish on shore by lighting an aerosol spray on fire and used it as a blow-torch.  I think I mentioned previously that I was lucky to live though my youth.  Modification: I just started reading those ratings on Cracked.Com... My eyes are watering from laughing so hard! |
