The Rumor Mill
 
what's the latest rumor you have heard?

Elvis bought a house in Bridgeport. He's going to name it Gladys Villa after his beloved mother. One room will have at least eight dartboards -- all with Col. Parker's image on them.

A Villager wiil be played by Meryl Streep in the film Henry Ford's Watch. The fim begins with the Villager in the back seat of a 30's Ford in a 2003 festival of lights parade at the Ford Edison Museum in Fort myers. Her husband has been chosen to drive the car leading the parade, but the old car dies whenever its lights are turned on. The crowd jeers. Comedians.

Ms. Streep is embarrassed, livid. She married into the Ford family, but she had never liked the man. She knew too much.

Only hydrogen powered golf carts will be allowed in TV as of the first of the year. Decision was made to stop fighting between pro-gas and pro-electric including solar owners.

The multimodal paths on the outer edge of each section of The Villages (North of 466, between 466 and 466A, and the Deep South of 466A) will be replaced with a massive "Lazy River", allowing Villagers to float from place to place. Bars located along each river will allow Villlagers to stay happy.

I heard when we get to TV in September everyone wants to meet us and there's going to be a huge welcome party at LSL for us so we can make a lot of friends quickly.

Snopes.com -- That's just a LA couple who know how to Google and get ad revenue for their site. Believe me, they have no more insight on anything than any one who can do some research.

Actually, I really did hear a rumor just today . . . all the new houses in Fruitland Park are going to be bigger and more expensive. How this person "knows" I have no idea.

Yes. I had tried to get that off with thousands of messages to the Mikkelsons but with no success. It has been there for 12 years or more. Some stupid e-mails I sent them hoping they would help. Instead they stuck it in the idiot bin (tinfoil hat). http://msgboard.snopes.com/message/u...00576/p/2.html

The Mikkelsons are who owns Snopes.com. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snopes.com

When Gary Corsair of the Villages Daily Sun was researching doing a story on me after interviewing me, he Googled me and Snopes.com came up in all its glory. This was for the story on my attempts to get the Florida Victim Services Directory connected to the Marion, Sumter, and Lake County public libraries. It ran on Memorial Day of 2007. May 31, 2007. He called me and asked about the Snopes.com crap.

I never get warm and fuzzy when thinking of Snopes.com since then even though what is on now is different from 2007.

The Villages Daily Sun did run the article on me despite what Gary Corsair had asked about that Memorial Day weekend of 2007.

Lets just say I trust Snopes more than I trust somebody reposting their spam email warnings.

Starting in September, golf courses will open for Golf Cart racing & motorcycles. It is such a waste to only have them used by old people swinging clubs. On Fridays the (old) golfers will have the opportunity to hit the people who are fully enjoying themselves with the open land. Prizes will be given to each age group. God Bless America. Yes, it's covered as long as you only go 19.6MPH.
