FROM OUR MAILBAG 5/31 - 6/07/98:
...the Ever-Popular Carlene...
FROM Bill D., [NO CITY PROVIDED] USA:
subject: Carlene
dear ed.
It sounds to me as if Carlene has been beaten with an ugly stick. I would guess that she hasn't been laid for at least a year, but hey I'm not volunteering hunh-huh I don't need to take on any project's right now.
Wally Worts drops the ball....
FROM Bob J., Flint, MI, USA:
So what happened to "CrunchTime" last week?
The NBA finals are happening, and narry a word from your man Worts. He lose a bet or something?
FROM Jim H. [NO CITY PROVIDED] USA:
One of the reasons a lot of us have problems with online publications is highlighted by your Sports columns. The first guy couldn't take the heat and punked out.
Now the new guy, Wally Worts, a legend-in-his-own-mind, gets a small following, and what happens?
Nothing. I hope you have an explanation, Mr. Editor.
ROD RESPONDS: Bob, Jim, thanks for visiting the G21, and for taking the time to comment. I do(have an explanation.) We have something around here called "a deadline." Those writers who honor their deadlines get featured in the weekly edition. Those writers who fail to meet our weekly deadlines get passed over. It's as simple as that.
See my INSIDER for this week, and rest assured that G21 is committed to sports coverage. Hey! The World Cup is this week, in case you didn't notice.
The Factchecker had left the building....
FROM Ron P.[NO CITY PROVIDED] USA:
The Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement has existed since I think 1927 or '29. Maybe you should [do] some research.
RP
ROD RESPONDS: I'm certain that this was directed to Adam J. Smith, just not sure which article you're referencing, Ron.
Adam is on the road this week(continuing to fight the good fight,) but I've forwarded your comments on to him for a response when this page is next updated. Thanks for visiting the G21 and for writing!
Even Thomas Hart has some fans....
FROM Kyle McC., Boston, MA, USA:
Rod,
Even though the "Tom & Nial Show" surely out-lived any entertainment value it might have had, Thomas Hart's TRIO work doesn't seem to have suffered. His "Let's Dance" article was great as ever!
Keep on Truckin',
Kyle
HART RESPONDS: Thanks, Kyle. It's sure good to hear from a regular person again, after weeks of being spammed by the southern California.... Well, you know. Come on back this week! I'm sure I'll have something to say to make you laugh!
