Bob McGuane and the true history of Breakfast in Darts

5/20/2010

Many of you have heared or even used the term "Breakfast" when playing
'01 darts and hitting the dreaded 26 - S20-S5-S1 shot. There are a lot of
people who claim they came up with this term, they are mistaken. I came
up with the term and here is how.

When I was in highschool I took a pre-college electronic engineer course
taught by Dr. Robert Fine. Whenever someone blew something up or
electrocuted themselves in his lab Dr. Fine would always say  "Jeeeso
Cringo what did you do now you ham and egger."  When one day he was
asked what he meant by ham and egger he replied  "It's the cheapest thing
on the menu."  Dr. Fine went on to explain if you ever read the menu of a full
service retaurant you will find that meals listed on the breakfast portion are
usually the least expensive. This was Dr. Fine's contribution.

Years later when I started throwing darts I was terrible and thankful for any
26's  I threw. After I became more proficient and after buying Mike Fish
countless Miller High Lifes for the lessons I outgrew the 26's. I became
dissapointed every time I threw a 26, it was my ham and egger, the cheapest
thing on the menu, "BREAKFAST". That is how "BREAKFAST"  was born.

Well, what an awesome weekend we had. The rafting trip was once again a  huge success. We had 60 folks in W. Virginia to enjoy the rain at Ray's Campground and the sunny and 75 day on the river. It was 5 feet above normal which is a primo level. I am so glad to be able to turn people on to the hobby I love and have so much enjoyed for 27 years. If you missed the trip , you better be there next year
