Anakin the Mutant

Laurel and I got a dartboard for our apartment. We attached a piece of blue shag carpet to the wall to use as a backing, and then attached the board to it. We were able to actually play darts on said dartboard, until Anakin turned six months old and decided to fetch the darts.

The picture you see above is Anakin at about six months old. Now that he is older, he isn't as eager to heave his massive frame up the wall. Especially since he discovered that it is more efficient, when he sees a dart hit the wall, to go after the LEFT HAND of the person standing (where there are two more to be found within biting reach). But he still has his wall-crawling mutant ability, and it is still magnificient to behold.
