Video Description
What are darts? Where can I put them? Do I have to use darts?!? Today I'm back ranting about my favorite niche subject of all: why darts? I'm simply downright determined to get everyone to understand dart manipulation. I've even broken out the protractor this time! Also, it's okay to ask me about curved darts...I'm just (clearly) a little /over/ hearing about them personally 😅
I refuse to be stopped in my quest to get everyone understanding all there is to know about darts, so if you still have dart questions for me, leave those in the comments for next time!
