Introduction
Hey. Recently I commented on a "sweet dart" egg realizing that I am yet to see a decent dart egg on RottenEggs. Paper darts? Pencil eraser darts? Comeon. You can’t be serious. And so, I decided to pull my lazy ass together today and help out the good people (yeah, okay) of the RE community.
Supplies
1. Scissors.
2. Thin Needle.
3. Pen.
4. Shoelace. Preferably a flat, woven one.
Process
Step 1. First things first; cut off the end of the shoelace, leaving about an inch or less of the material.
Step 2. Cut off about half of the hard, plastic end of the shoelace.
Result
Step 3. Fray up the shoe lace material so that it becomes "fluffy and poofy". The best way to do this, is to pull apart the strands with our fingers and then start fuzzing up the material as if you were trying to make a ball out of it.
Result
Step 4. Begin to insert your needle from the "fluffy" end of the dart and through the tube. Even if you have a very thin needle, I guarantee you this part will be a BITCH!
Result
Step 5. Insert the dart into your blowgun and fire away. I prefer to keep mine in a pen so I can always have it with me.
Video
Here is a video of my newly creating dart in action. Sorry about the quality. I need a new camera anyway.

 | Jan 29, 2008 11:04 am - ***** |

 | Jan 29, 2008 11:04 am - link still deosn’t work. |

 | Jan 29, 2008 11:07 am - I know. I don’t get it. After I posted the comment I tested the link and it worked fine. Then a second later I clicked it again and it was messed up. Fuck it. |

 | Jan 29, 2008 11:22 am - YouTube to the rescue! |

 | J n 29, 2008 11:32 am - good good five star but next time do somet new ! |

 | Jan 29, 2008 11:37 am - Well, by RE standards this is pretty damn new. A real turn away from paper cones and pencil erasers, if I do say so myself. |

 | Jan 29, 2008 12:16 pm - Suck it asshole. I don’t see even one egg on RE that uses this method. |

 | Jan 29, 2008 1:56 pm - Excellent! 5****, favs, and 5 on profile. |

As for the low voters, SPEAK UP YOU MOTHERFUCKERS! If you vote so low atleast have the balls to tell me why. |

 | Jan 29, 2008 5:51 pm - this is copied but its original pictures and it works really well so 5’s |

 | J n 29, 2008 6:07 pm - I don’t know who originally came up with this. Me and a friend of mine were bored in Art class last year, so we decided to fool around and use the shit we had around to make some make-shift "weaponry". So my friend just took a scissor and cut his shoelace and from there started making the dart. I never asked where he learned it. |

 | Jan 29, 2008 7:06 pm - finally decent pics. a bit overdone. but good egg |

 | Jan 29, 2008 9:38 pm - thats pretty fucking savage, 5* |

I came back from work and didn’t feel like sprucing up for the internet folk. My nails are usually short as possible without them bleeding. This due to the fact that I’m too lazy to cut them and try to porlong the period as much as possible. |

 | Jan 30, 2008 6:05 pm - 5* i used a thimble to push the needle through, it wont work in an actual blowgun though -too small. |

 | Jan 30, 2008 7:39 pm - your fingernails are dirty. also you read VG cats?
read questionable content. its better. |

 | Jan 30, 2008 7:40 pm - Manicure? |

Yes sir, indeed I do. Simple comic for a simple mind.
Y ppee-kay fucking yay. I have a dirty job and I craft alot of shit with my hands. What does that equal to? Dirty fingers nails. Live with it. I’ll be covered in dirt and vomit for my next egg if you like commenting on my level of cleanliness so much. |

Try being here for a bit over less than a week. And how about earning enough egg points to actually make an egg so you can show us all how genius and amazing you are, oh prophet of RottenEggs. |

 | Feb 02, 2008 9:31 pm - 4*s |

 | Feb 04, 2008 6:12 pm - Nice, high quality egg; even though they’re too small for my blowgun.
5* for effort and an origional idea |

 | Feb 04, 2008 10:20 pm - fuckin 5. Period. This is how the majority of eggs should be. |

 | Feb 05, 2008 9:02 am - Very nice dart, although the part where the needle needs to get through "the hard part" is REALLY REALLY BITCH! Nearly poked my Finger ^^ |

 | Feb 06, 2008 11:47 am - 3* its been done a lot and I think I have seen it on this site if not I have seen it on some overs and also I prefer using papers cones just tends to fit better in my blow pipe. |
