The game of Theatre Darts has many arcane and colorful traditions and house rules. One of the most sacred and rare of the rules/traditions is that anyone who throws a complete "blue" game (no sub par holes - no "red" scores) gets a kick in the butt from ALL of the other players in the game. Today, Pinky (FIB) Aeschliman (who has actually achieved this honor once before - and who KICKED BACK - placing her on probation for immediate suspension were that response to happen again) playing in the second game of the day - began to play a game with no red scores. The tension and anticipation mounted with all of the participants (Bryson, Oney, Cummins and Hendrix). As she neared the final hole - the contestants anticipated EVERY throw of her darts - and she was tossing sixes, woodies and other poor scoring trys.
She came to the FINAL hole. The first dart was a 5. There was a complete silence - AND - on her second dart of the final hole...... PINKY threw the CHEAP SHOT (an unintended "Bulls Eye" that counts as a hole-in-one)!!!! This will become a story told and retold and will take its place in the anals of Theatre Dart lore as one of the all time most AMAZING events of the game.
As an AMAZING follow-up.... "Pinky" (now Christine Forrester - married to the darting whiz, Michael) and her husband comer back to Furman's 2005 homecoming. There is a massive Theatre Darts game - 12 players, 6 teams.... AND, wouldn't you know it..... PINKY and her HUSBAND won the whole game.... FIRST winners! Some were stunned, some were proud, some could care less! Such is the way with Theatre Darts! BUT... possibly another legend is born? (Oh, yes, and Pinky is preggers..... but THAT pales beside the darting accomplishment!)
