Because you won't see this in the Daily Globe....

..apparently the story of 2 working class, white, English speaking Dodge City boys representing Dodge City and doing well at a NATIONAL dart tournament is "not in the public interest"...

Sometimes I get a headache trying to figure out the Dodge City Daily Blobe.

Isn't that you in the black shirt, Monster?

Congrats!

[Tony Clams]

Congratulations!!!

What was your best game? How many darts did it take you to get out?

Maybe if the Globe knew about your winnings, they would put it in the newspaper. Don't put them down unless you try.

So, when we came back, glowing with pride, I contacted the Globe and asked them if they could give us a couple of column inches. Sadly, it seems the story of 2 working class white English speaking Dodge City boys is not of interest to them. I was told that out victory, putting Dodge City on the map in darting terms if nothing else, was "of no interest to the people of Dodge City".

As for the Brit thing, I'm leaving it well alone.....!!!

OR it could be that no one is really interested in darts and between trying to cover several of the local community sports, college hoops, pro baseball etc, darts may not have the priority to be mentioned....even on the olympic level.

You get mentioned here and that's what counts. GOOD JOB Monster...way to represent!

OK... I'll try and answer a few questions at once...

First, yes that fat shite in the black shirt is me. I make no attempt to disguise who I am on here, most people can figure it out anyway. Heck, the real giveaway is that I drive a blue SUV with a tag on it that says MONSTER !!!

Second, we had an average in one of the games of 5.70 marks per round, but generally speaking between us we shot about a 4.30 mark per round game.

Third, I did contact the Globe, was told it wasn't of interest.

Finally, they can print the LOCAL bowling league scores, but nothing when 2 Dodge Citians go out of town and do well in a NATIONAL dart tournament?

'Nuff said.

I took first in two bowling events at state way back when and nothing was written then either. Nothing has changed with the glob.
