style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I'm sorry Tom, Wayne, Jack, et
al., but I have to disagree with you. This isn't evidence of
paranoia; it's a charming return to the small town
Southern tradition of spying (and reporting) on one's
neighbors. As recently as 1991, when I last lived in North Carolina,
little newspapers like the Four Oaks Gazette had a special column devoted
to what was called "society news." This consisted of
scintillating stories like, "On Friday night, Mr. and Mrs. Red Neck
of 1313 High Colonic Lane were joined at supper by Mrs.
Maybelle Colitis of Goldsboro. They enjoyed a hearty meal of
baked possum, RC Cola, boiled peanuts and moon pies before embarking on
a game of pull-my-finger. Mr. Neck, who is reported by friends,
relatives, and near neighbors to be 'straight-piped,' won the game
resoundingly."</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Doug, who is a published admirer
of Southern hospitality, must be familiar with this kind of reporting, and I
have to admit that I am myself a fan. It saves wear and tear on the
drapes (all that rubbing back and forth on the curtain rod caused by
peeping out) not to mention phone calls to friends to find out whose Buick
that is in Mrs. Flabbergast's driveway. Better by far to have
that vital information online! I only wish I could be an active
participant, but alas, I don't live on Conestoga. I live at the end
of a half-mile long dirt road, and my house is not visible from the
road. What can I do to be a part of this vital information
sharing? Wait . . . I've got it. I'll self
report!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

visited Ms. Mary Joan Opyr at the Opyr-Huskey home. The
ladies drank Diet Coke and ate stale doughnuts, which, as everyone
knows, have no carbohydrates. Ms. Opyr then attempted to
foist some of her excess zucchini crop onto Ms. Lund, who kindly took three
but left the other four hundred and thirty six. Ms. Opyr regrets this as
her children are steadfastly refusing to eat zucchini bread, zucchini
fricasse, zucchini ratatouille, and zucchini surprise -- AKA, zucchini
eaten while wearing a
blindfold." </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
