  Somehow, it remains a better idea than lawn darts.

  I take great offense at this statement! Lawn darts (or Jarts) was the most incredible game ever invented, and it at no time encouraged children to simulate killing Japs. Just each other.

  Lawn Darts are great! I did have to learn to part my hair around the one wedged in my cranium, howeverererer.

  Ooh! Ooh! I love lawn dart tag!

  Surely there must be a few of those sets available at yard sales and online auctions. After all, when used properly, a set would only be played with once.

  Over 40 pieces? Of a smallish toy? For a six year old? I think when I have kids I’ll just hand them a Lite Brite and tell them the pegs taste like candy. That should be safer.

  They already have that - it’s called Jenga.

  Also, I love that the manufacturer thought to trademark the name Kamikaze Attack.

  That was f*#@ing hilarious!

  How come nobody mentioned asphyxiophilia? That was always a fun game. Ah, the times I had to be revived by paramedics as a kid…

  No, I was too busy holding other things…

  In other news, I just saw that John Phillip Law has passed away. Everybody needs to watch Space Mutiny (820) today to honor the late great Cmdr Kalgan. Oh heck, make a marathon and watch Barbarella as well.

  Don’t forget “Diabolique”! He was an odd duck, wasn’t he?

  Reply from Ben on May 16, 2008:

  Ah yes! I did forget Diabolique. Thank you for reminding me. I guess his role as Kalgan amidst all that Battlestar Gallactica footage really stood out in my mind. Or scarred me…whichever.

  Reply from Darth Chimay on May 16, 2008:

  Um… it’s Diabolik. Diabolique is a very different movie. Directed by the guy who did The Wages of Fear, not by the guy who directed Planet of the Vampires. Based on a book by the same guys who wrote Vertigo, not written by the guy who wrote Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die. Just, uh, just thought I’d point that out.

  Reply from Ben on May 16, 2008:

  That’s right. Mea culpa. I hadn’t had coffee yet.

  Reply from RemmieBarrow on May 16, 2008:

  By the way, “Barbarella” was his “Citizen Kane”.

  Is this really any more violent or corrupting than the “Grand Theft Autos” the kids play now?

  Reply from Darth Chimay on May 16, 2008:

  Bah, I say. GTA makes me no more want to go out and kill hookers then the Wii stripper pole game coming out will make me want to give amateur hour at the Naughty Beaver a go. At least, not without pasties.

  Reply from Ben on May 16, 2008:

  I don’t know. I have an urge to dive a Zero onto a carrier’s deck, so it must have some influence.

  It’s also an 18 certificate. The game is for adults.
