Dartsnews.com takes another look at the social media #content churned out by the world of darts.
Twelve Dutchmen walk into a bar...
What do
darts players do on their time off?
You might not know this, but some go to the pub.
A whole host of Dutch stars wandered along to The Corner Pin in Barnsley on Tuesday night. Maik Kuivenhoven, Geert Nentjes, Jelle Klaasen, Ron Meulenkamp, Jermaine Wattimena, Christian Kist, Jan Dekker, Danny Noppert, Yordi Meeuwisse watched Eredivisie leaders Ajax take on Tottenham in the Champions League semi-final first leg, which the Dutch outfit won 1-0.
Van Duijvenbode posted this image on Instagram to mark the occasion.
No idea which team they were supporting...

Ando gets cheeky
We're running out of chances to see Raymond van Barneveld before he retires. Though he'll surely grace the exhibition circuit, it won't be the same.
Luckily, Scottish fans can meet the Dutch legend at the Motherwell Masters and the Edinburgh Darts Masters.
Two-time world champion Gary Anderson will be around too. And his take on event marketing is cheeky, to say the least.
He'll need to follow up on this, or we'd have to label him The Lying Scotsman.

Looking sharp, Jeffrey
It's not totally clear what this Unicorn photoshoot was in aid of.
But here's their Instagram offering; Jeffrey de Zwaan rocking sunglasses in front of a green screen.
To be fair, he pulls them off. +10 cool points.
But he didn't whip them on to celebrate victory at Players Championship 14. -5 cool points.
Sorry, we don't make the rules.

Road trip
Speaking of Players Championship 14, beaten finalist Stephen Bunting is definitely not guilty of sour grapes.
"Happy to reach the final and my form is gr8," said the Bullet, clearly putting in 'gr8' to show he's down with the kids.
Bunting now heads to Austria with Ricky Evans in tow.
If TV executives think filming James Corden in a car is a good idea, surely they'd be all for a Bunting/Evans combo.

Chin gets extension
OK, that heading could be seen is misleading. And a bit horrific, frankly.
What we mean is that Winmau announced on Twitter that Daryl Gurney has renewed his contract.
The Northern Irishman will remain part of the Winmau stable until 2024.
Apparently someone believes he's the future of darts...

Oh dear God.
Look, I'm going to warn you now. Once you watch this, it can't be un-watched.
Gerwyn Price can be a pretty intimidating figure. But this video posted on social media is just terrifying.
If you want to see the Welshman put on a rendition of Unchained Melody that will have the Righteous Brothers rolling in their graves, then go right ahead.
(I don't know if the Righteous Brothers are even dead. Watching this Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks-esque video might finish them off if they're not).
