Oh, The Funny Things That Come Along With A Website!


I've had this dart web site for almost a year now, and it's been quite a trip! I enjoy hearing from darters all over the world (keep those comments and questions coming!) and at this point nothing surprises me! Here are some of the funny E-mails that I have received:

  • Received an E-mail addressed to "Mr. Herkey" as the writer assumed that someone with a dart related website has to be a man! I told my husband I think I had an E-mail for him, and he just laughed!
  • The writer who asked if I had pictures of Linda Lovelace (the porn star) on my site...(in case you're wondering, I don't but you can still surf my site)
  • Another writer who suggested as the "Passionate Darter" that I ought to have my naked pictures on the website....hmmmmm, might increase web traffic but I think I'll pass
  • The woman sewing a blouse and wanted to know if I had patterns for "darts" for women's blouses (for you men-folk out there, dart is also a sewing term used in women's blouses)
  • The writer who wanted to know if I had a picture on my site of a hummingbird tattoo - now where the heck did that come from?
  • Then there's the writer who wrote for assistance and opened with..."Since you're a professional, maybe you can help me out...". Yeah right. I wish. But if someone wants to think I'm a professional darter then let them! Made my day! I'll even sign autographs.
  • The writer who inquired if I had information on the "black widow biker". I think he has my site confused with something else entirely! I dunno...maybe there's a new set of "black widow biker darts" out there!
  • And then there's my mother, who knows nothing about darts but reads my site to support me. As the ultimate Sherilyn-fan she honestly asked me "Since you love darts so much daughter-dear, why don't YOU become a professional?" Gotta love my mom.
  • And then there's my husband who sees me spending so much time on my site who pleads "Can't you make money at this somehow?" If you're interested in donating monies to my personal fund (which will please my husband of course) then drop me a note at E-mail for the Sherilyn Fund. I promise to drop you a postcard from some warm tropical place while I'm playing darts with a fresh pina colada in hand! That would be swell. Really!
Of course, there are the legitimate questions and comments and I do appreciate them. Keep them coming, because without you, the darter, the beginners, the social-players, the tournament players, the grass-roots players, and the professionals) there would be no darts, and no passionate darter website. So, as my one year anniversary with this site approaches, thank you from a very humbled passionate darter.

As always, good luck and I'll see you at the line.
