- So, for the sake of stupidity, let’s begin on a snarky note: Here at Hearsay we’re trying our darnedest, and along comes a snarky remark in the “Comments” section of the www.independentmail.com version of this column. “Could your column be any more stupid?” said the commenter. Our answer: “We’ll see what we can do.”
- On a much more positive Internet note: Hearsay heard from a friend who shared this Internet site as a pretty fine place to go if you need to feel better about the world. The Web site is www.wherethehellismatt.com, but by all means, don’t let the bad word put you off. Just go to the site, click on the dancing video and be overwhelmed with how wonderful our world really is. Matt, by the way, is a guy who has gone around the world doing a dance with whoever will dance with him. The scenery in the video is lovely; the people, heartwarming; the music, particularly pretty, too. Enjoy.
- On another positive Ping-Pong note: Frank Carithers, our friend from Anderson who is looking for table tennis partners, has found some, thanks to Hearsay. (See there. Now that’s not so stupid, is it?) Mr. Carithers, who happens to be a pretty good table tennis player, has had numerous calls from fellow Ping–Pongers, and they’re getting up some games. If anyone else is interested in joining the fun, call Mr. Carithers at (864) 940-0457.
- Table tennis or Ping-Pong? A Hearsay reader weighed in on the name game: “Ping-Pong is the name of a manufacturer of table tennis equipment. However, the name Ping-Pong became widely used all over the world. … So, Ping-Pong to table tennis is Coca-Cola to the famous soft drink.” Kind of like Kleenex and facial tissues, eh?
- October is “Adopt A Shelter Dog Month”: And here at Hearsay we want to help out by letting you know about Woofy, an 8-month-old hound mix who’s in need of a good home. The Hart County (Ga.) Humane Society has had him for approximately two months now. The Society reports that Woofy is “well-mannered and hungry for a loving home. He wants dearly to be someone’s companion. His adoption requires a fenced-in yard. He is being fostered with other adult dogs and is learning to respect cats. He sleeps indoors in a crate at night and plays all day in a fenced-in backyard.” If you are interested in adopting Woofy, call his foster mom, Donna, at 706-436-0965 or e-mail Donna at donnamadkiff@yahoo.com.
- OK, before we go, a BIG question about some BIG chairs: Someone is driving around Hartwell, Ga., in a big truck with two VERY BIG rocking chairs in the bed of said truck. What’s the story concerning these really colossal rockers? If you have the answer, please give Hearsay a holler.
