1. I grew up near the epicenter of Hacky Sackdom.

If you go to Pioneer Square in Portland, OR, you can still find indolent teenagers playing. We called them hacky slackers.

5. They'd never do it.

It would sound suspiciously like 'work' to them.

2. I once did a story on a world-record holder

http://worldfootbag.com/magazine/vol-12-no-2/record.html

Scroll down to Constance Constable. There's a photo of her lying down after an event.

I understand she improved the record to 24,713 consecutive kicks.



Edit: That's not the story I wrote. Mine was for the Monterey, Calif. paper and was much longer. :7

4. They were all the rage when I was in high school

My best friend was always kicking one around. I never got into the craze myself, but then I was never into anything remotely sporty except roller skating.

You become one with the ball. :)
