Nah, not those lawn darts. The ones we had as kids had pointed tips that would sink into the grass. (Or your skull.)

I remember them. They were still around they had just changed the ring to a small handle. I remember buying some as an adult. They were still vicious.

Got my clackers free from Shakey's Pizza. Whacked my arm bone so many times a cyst formed which had to be surgically removed when it started choking off the nerves to my hand. Still they were fun.

Looks like you can still buy Clackers on Amazon. Just search for Ceyda, Clackers, Click Clacks, Collectible Toy, Klackers, Acrylic Balls On a String Rope, Popper Knockers, Whackers, Kabangers, Whakkos, or Noise Maker

They were fun until they fractured your forearm. The bruises those things left were brutal.

I guess I was lucky someone at school stole mine a month or so after I got them. Man they hit hard -- but I remember I had a lot of fun with them while I had them.
