Welcome to Dartoid’s World PINOCCHIO WATCH
the first and only BULLSHIT BAROMETER of the world of darts!
Measured by the length of Pinocchio’s nose, four levels of fantasy, exaggeration,
nonsense, and outright lies are tracked. The quotes are real.
So… stay tuned! Be afraid! Be informed!
(For Level 5 craziness, be sure to read Dartoid’s most recent column!)

“(I) had 183 left and decided to plug a 3rd T20, just because. As I walked away (my opponent) said "That was a dumb" shot and then I walked up and nonchalantly stuck the S1, D1.” (El Commandante – 7/29/2010)

"Before John Part or Bob Anderson came to (The Website That Shall Not Be Named) we were here. So why did they come here? Because we were here. Think about that!" (El Commandante - 5/18/2011)

"Is (The Website That Shall Not Be Named) always number one in the overall rankings? No. Is it often number one? Yes. Has it been there on that list for longer then all of the rest? Yes. That… along with the amazing amount of traffic to the site, does indeed make it more then just plausible that the site is the World Number One. Phil Taylor doesn't always win matches, nor does (The Website That Shall Not Be Named), but like Phil, we're the site to beat no matter how you decide to cut the cake." (El Commandante - 9/28/2011)

"The pro's who have come and gone did so because they wanted to be a part of something big, something we made big… The 'golden age' of (The Website That Shall Not Be Named)? Bah! We're still here, still tops in my book…" (El Commandante - 5/18/2011)

It's a typical post by someone wanting to use (The Website That Shall Not Be Named) to boost their own site (DARTBOOK). It gets tiring really. (El Commandante – 2/25/2011)

“There are those who are threatened by the ones that can and do the hard work. A couple years ago (my) company brought on a guy who worked for a public utility. He didn't know crap but talked the big talk pretty well. Eventually despite being a moron and a liability he talked the talk well enough to become my boss. So, (the) moron gets rid of me and now he can look even smarter - or some such moronic thinking. But i's ok, I can manage for a while without work (a year or two)…” (El Commandante – 4/21/2010)

“...think back to 1984 around labor day and if you remember some young blonde guy in the pub with a bleach blonde and if you remember him first taking drinks off you (I never lost a game) and then offering to buy your drinks and playing for fun and teaching a bit... well, that was me.” (El Commandante – 7/29/2006)

“Instead of thinking of (The Website That Shall Not Be Named) as a corporation, think of it as a sole proprietor ship. I'm the proprietor. As the Commandant I do what I want… this is after all a dictatorship and not a democracy. I just let people choose to do things in a democratic way because it suits me at the moment.” (El Commandante – 2008)

“I played Bob (Anderson) in 1994 and it was one of my most memorable moments in darts! Of course, that might have something to do with the 14-dart leg of 501 I threw against him…” (El Commandante - 1/27/2006)

“I'm reading Dartoids book… and I have to tell you… if you don't have this book, go get it! It's entertaining… and VERY informative. There is a great deal of history in there, and well, a whole lot of great tales. I'm giving (the) book a TEN. If I could give it an Eleven I would but he didn't include any double out shots… Seriously though, get this book now, because after my review I expect it to sell out.” (El Commandante – 2/6/2007)
