  1. This is one of my favorite songs. It has a whole lot of positive energy (LOL) Sting-brand new day How many of you people out there Been hurt in some kind of love affair And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again? How many lonely, sleepless nights How many lies, how many fights And why would you want to put yourself through all that again? "Love is pain," I hear you say Love has a cruel and bitter way Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain How could it be that what you need the most Can leave you feeling just like a ghost? You never want to feel so sad and lost again One day you could be looking Through an old book in rainy weather You see a picture of her smiling at you When you were still together You could be walking down the street And who should you chance to meet But that same old smile that you've been thinking of all day You can turn the clock to zero, honey I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock all the way back I wonder if she'll take me back I'm thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero, sister You'll never know how much I missed her Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero, boss The river's wide, we'll swim across Started up a brand new day It could happen to you - just like it happened to me There's simply no immunity - there's no guarantee I say love's such a force - if you find yourself in it And sometimes no reflection is there Baby wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Turn the clock to zero, honey I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero, Mac I'm begging her to take me back I'm thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero, boss The river's wide, we'll swim across Started up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero buddy Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy Started up a brand new day I'm the rhythm in your tune I'm the sun and you're the moon I'm a bat and you're the cave You're the beach and I'm the wave I’m the plow and you’re the land You're the glove and I'm the hand I'm the train and you're the station I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah Stand up all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl Stand up all you lovers in the world Starting up a brand new day I'm the present to your future You're the wound and I’m the suture You're the magnet to my pole I'm the devil in your soul You're the pupil I'm the teacher You're the church and I'm the preacher You're the flower I'm the rain You're the tunnel I'm the train Stand up all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl Stand up all you lovers in the world Starting up a brand new day You're the crop to my rotation You're the sum of my equation I'm the answer to your question If you follow my suggestion We can turn this ship around We'll go up instead of down You're the pan and I'm the handle You're the flame and I'm the candle Stand up all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl Stand up all you lovers in the world We're starting up a brand new day
  2. Yeah it's sure hard to beat Waylon, right now i'm listening to Sting-Desert Rose (Love that song!!!!!!!!!) JM
  3. haha, can't argue with that now! Bo and Luke putting op fences, when it was warm outside sure made a pretty picture. About Daisy switching clothes and all, I'm not sure whether this is true or not but, the show started of as a low budget show so maybe there wasn't a lot of money for al the diffrent outfitts. Except for Daisy, cause Chathrine used to make her own clothes. Guess when the show became a hit they just left it like that. What also would be quite possible is that they wanted to accentuate her femenincy. (Not there was any need for ofcourse LOL) Us girls never where anything more than a day now do we? Otherwise we wouldn't have any excuse for going shopping JM
  4. If I had to make a choice I would go for uncle Jesse, cause i think he's guards the overall spirit of the show and I would have loved to have had him as an uncle. Next would be: 2. Bo and Luke (Sorry I can't choose between them, they're both cute and I love them most of all in interaction with eachother.) 3. Cooter (Cause he's just a plain right guy, who is always there when ya need him) 4. Enos (Cause he's just so darn funny and makes my laugh all the time) bye now, JM
  5. Non of the Dukes ever switcht clothes much (except Daisy then ofcourse) but when they did I thought they looked quite nice. I loved Bo in the Brown jacket and all the men (including Jesse lol)) looked very handsom in tuxedos. What do you think: shirt or tux?
  6. Utrecht, The Netherlands (One of the few country's with legal prostitution, legal marihuana use and legal drinking from age 16, that stil can keep it fun to live there )
  7. There have been given many names voor hurricanes. I read this article a couple of days a go that the meteorological experts have only 5 names left they can use. Stan was one of them the rest I don't remember. Wouldn't it be a great thing though if, when the names run out, the hurricane's would stop coming? Guess we won't have that much luck. JM
  8. While lying in the bathtub Nick was thinking what he had to do next. He could not deny he was glad these people had saved them from the sheriff and that he would have some proper food tonight, but what would they want from him in return? The last couple of weeks had taught him not a whole lot of people did anything without getting better of it themselves. And even if they did, they would probably send him to that orphanage he heard them talk about and he didn’t liked that at all. Should he make a run for it tonight after supper? He didn’t know why but something told him he shouldn’t, even though he knew sooner or later this family would send him away to somewhere he didn’t want to go. Just like al the others. Still not quite sure whether he liked this situation, but at least clean and in clothes without holes in them, Nick walked in to the kitchen. Jesse was behind the stove. He was stirring in a pan with one hand and at the same time holding some plates in the other. “Ah Nick, would you please help me with this before I drop them.†He asked friendly. Nick took the plates from him and placed them on the table. “Thank you very much.†Jesse said sincere. “Now in that draw you can find the cutlery if you would be so kind to set the table a bit, I would very much appreciate it. The boys still out doing there chores and with Daisy of to work I’m some hands short and I wouldn’t want to spoil supper by burning it.†Nick didn’t want his food to get burned either, so he opened the draw and took out the cutlery. While standing before the table he looked troubled at the knifes, forks and spoons in his hand. “Knifes at the right, forks at the left and spoons at the top of the plate.†Jesse said without looking up from the stove. Nick wondered how this man knew what he was thinking. Earlier that afternoon he was sure nobody had seen him take anything. He had al that stuff already in his pockets before the men walked in and still Jesse Duke seemed to have known. Just when he had finished, Luke came in. “Already earning your keep I see.†He said jokingly. “That’s mighty nice of you, lending a hand.†Nick just smiled. He was given an awful lot of thanks for just setting the table. “Bo will be right in, he just putting the sand machine back in the bar.†Jesse nodded and Luke disappeared to wash up. About ten minutes later everybody sat down at the kitchen table and Jesse placed the last pan at the middle of it. Nick who was starving didn’t waste a second and grabbed a spoon to fill his plate. Jesse gave a short cough to interrupt the boy. “We always say grace before starting our meal.†He said in a kind but firm voice. “Don’t let me bother you.†Nick replied while continuing his actions “Well, it does bother us.†Jesse said with a much more stern voice. “You don’t have to join us, but we do expect you to just wait a second and be quiet.†Nick didn’t know why exactly but somehow he didn’t want to wait, not even those couple of seconds and he definitely didn’t like anybody to say what he could or could not do. “Ain’t it stupid to thank somebody who doesn’t exist?†He said provoking, while filling his plate to the edge. Jesse seemed to need al his strength to hold his temper. “You listen carefully boy.†He said with an angry voice “You’re a guest in this house and it would not do you wrong to show some respect to the people that live in it. So make your choice, wait for a second or take your plate and eat somewhere else.†The angry voice had scared Nick for a second, but his pride did not let him back out now. “Fine!†He said wound up and after grabbing his plate he stormed out of the house. The men looked at him leaving and were so stunned they didn’t know what to say for a moment. “I’m sorry for that, boys.†Jesse said after taking a deep breath. “But the kid really riled my nerves there. “ “Don’t be sorry, uncle Jesse.†Bo said sincere. “The boy was out of line. He had no right behaving like that.†“No he hadn’t.†Luke agreed. “I’m just wondering why he did? Should I go after him, before he’s gone?†He asked his uncle. The old man shook his head. “Neh, let him be for awhile. I don’t think he’s going anywhere. He might be eating alone, but at least he’s eating and I don’t think he’s gonna walk away from that†The Dukes said grace and enjoyed their meal. Jesse couldn’t help noticing though, Luke was being a bit distracted. After diner Luke and Jesse took care of the dishes. Jesse saw a wrinkle on Luke’s forehead, what most of the time meant, he was given his thoughts a hard time. “Luke you’ve been more quiet than a church mouse, now tell me, what’s on your mind?†He said in a caring voice. “I was just thinking’ bout the boy, that’s all.†Luke said frowning a bit. “I wonder how he ended up like he did, all alone I mean.†“The boy gets to you don’t he?†Jesse asked. Luke leaned at the kitchen sink. “Well he does bring back memories. That’s for sure. I remember quite some meals I had on that front porch there.†Jesse grinned. “Yeah, you were quite a handful growing up.†Luke thought back at his first years he had spend on the farm.†He hadn’t liked them at all, and had been sure to let everybody know that. Looking back now, he felt sorry for ruining those years, but was glad he was given a family who helped him through that. Jesse could almost read his thoughts and laid a hand on his nephews shoulder. “Why don’t ya just go see where the kid is and try to straiten him out a bit. See whether you can get him inside again. I’ll take care of these.†He said while holding a plate in his hand. Luke smiled. “Thanks uncle Jesse I will do that.†It didn’t took Luke long to find Nick hidden away behind the barn. He couldn’t help feel sorry for the boy, seeing him sit there like that. “Enjoyed your private dinner?†He asked while he sad down beside him. Nick didn’t respond, only gave him a dirty look. “Now don’t you look at me like that? You’re the one who behaved like a pest in there.†“Well if I’m such a pest, why don’t you just leave me alone than.†Nick said wound up “Cause we told Rosco we would take care of you and us Dukes never break their promise. And like my cousin said earlier, you could be a bit more thankful for that.†Nick pulled a grumpy face. “I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true.†He mumbled. Luke gave him a stern look. “Now even if that were so.†He said with a slight raised voice. “On which I don’t agree with you, uncle Jesse gives a whole lot of importance to His Maker, we all do, and while you’re staying in his house you should find some respect for that.†He paused for a second. “But I think you know that just as well as I do and you were just acting tough. In there.†“I wasn’t acting tough.†Nick reacted while throwing a little rock in front of his feet. Luke sighed. “Well than you were just behaving like a pest.†He said on an indifferent tone “One way or another you owe somebody an apology.†“I’m not going back in there. Your uncle doesn’t like me and I wouldn’t know what to say.†Luke spread his hands in a small desperate gesture. “You can’t blame him for being upset. You’re only on the farm for about two hours and you already tried to steel his belongings and kept him from talking to his Good Lord. Any person would be upset, doesn’t mean he dislikes you though. Everybody is aloud to make mistakes, as long as you admit to them. Haven’t they never told ya that? Nick hung his head and looked away. If Luke had meant his parents, the answer was definitely no, but he didn’t want to tell him that. “Still wouldn’t know what to say though.†The boy mumbled. Luke stood op from the ground and gave him a smile. “Well, most of the time an apology includes the words ‘sorry’ and ‘won’t do it again’ but I’m sure you’ll think of something original yourself. Now com’mon or do you also wanna sleep outside after your outdoor supper, ‘cause that’s possible too ya know. We’ll get ya a sleeping bag and all. Wouldn’t advise it though, it’s get quite cold here at night. Believe me.†“Tell me something I don’t know.†Nick said barely hearable but he stood up and followed the man in to the house.
  9. Just a couple of moments later they were driving out of the town. Nick had found his place at the backseat, Bo was behind the wheel and Luke drove shotgun. “So Nick, you also got a last name, or were you just born as Nick?†Luke asked. “It’s Taylor.†Nick answered shortly. “Then you’re not from around here are ya? ‘Cause the only Taylor’s we know here don’t have kids your age and definitely no kids that steel.†He said while looking over his shoulder. Nick gave him a dirty look. “No I’m not.†he replied “So where do ya folks live then?†He asked ignoring the look Nick gave him. “My parents are dead.†The boy just stated. “Ow, we’re sorry to hear that.†Bo said while looking in his mirror. The boy just shrugged his shoulders. “Well they’ve been dead for about a year now, guess ya get used to it.†Again the cousins looked at each other with an astonished look on their face. They had both lost their parents and they knew you didn’t just get used to that. “So you live in the Hazzard orphanage then?†Luke asked. Nick shook his head. “No, I just live everywhere I can sleep. I was just traveling through when I bumped in to your Sheriff.†Luke just nodded without saying anything. He reckoned this might be getting more complicated then he had expected “All right than Bo, better just head to the farm then. Uncle Jesse must be wandering what is taking us so long.†“You’ve got it cus’.†And he floored the gas pedal. Bo didn’t like the way this situation looked. He wasn’t very fond of children and if this boy didn’t had a home, he knew the Dukes-hospitality-rules described they would put him up for a while. At least until they found some better suiting accommodation for him. “Hey Luke, why don’t we take a shortcut here.†Bo said with a smile. Luke saw those twinkling lights in his cousin’s eyes. “Well, I guess we could take the bridge that runs over dry creek.†He replied smiling. “You do mean that bridge the destroyed two years a go and never put back up right?†“That’s the one.†“All right†Bo exclaimed and he took a right turn of the main road. Nick didn’t know what was happening around him. He had never seen people drive like this and what about taking a bridge that wasn’t there? He didn’t say anything, because he didn’t wanted to look like a wimp but actually his hart was beating like crazy. “Better hang on now Nick.†Luke said smiling. “My cousin here is about to jump that creek right ahead of us.†You’re kidding right?†Nick called out, but Luke didn’t need to answer his question cause just a couple of seconds later Nick heard Bo yell “YEEHAH!!!†and the car flew over the creek before smashing in to ground again and drove on without any sign of broken parts or what so ever. Nick had been pushed flat to the backseat and tried to get up again while checking himself for broken bones. Bo grinned, “The man told you to hang on.†He said laughing. “Man!!!, you guys always drive like this?†Nick asked with admiration in his voice. “Well, he does.†Luke joked, while pointing at Bo. “Even when he drives to church.†“You’re just always bragging on me.†Bo joked back. “Man!!!†Nick called out again. “No wonder the sheriff didn’t like you guys.†“Rosco dislikes us for a whole lot more than just our driving.†Bo said while sniffing a bit from contempt. “And deep down that corrupt hart of his he loves us just as much, but most of the time he just doesn’t remembers that.†Luke added. At that moment the Dukes pulled up the driveway of their farm and parked the car in front of the barn. Jesse Duke had heard the car pull up the driveway and was standing at the front porch waiting. “What took you boys so long?†He asked when they had come out of the car and dragged the supplies out of the trunk. Luke smiled and gave Bo the ‘I told you so’ look. “We run in to Rosco.†Bo said with a grin. Jesse sighed and put up a stern face. “You tell me ya didn’t get yourself in to any trouble now ya hear.†“We didn’t Uncle Jesse.†Luke said, calming the old man down. “But our new friend here did, come out of that car now Nick and give us a hand.†He called to the boy who sat still on the backseat of the orange car. Nick climbed out the car but wasn’t very eager to help. “Well then, who’s our guest?†“This is Nick, Uncle Jesse. We kind of ran in to him at the same time we ran in to Rosco.†“Aha well hi there Nick.†Jesse said while offering the boy his hand. â€My name is Jesse Duke.†There was something about this man that made Nick feel a bit nervous and because of it he didn’t look the man in the eye while accepting the hand and stating his full name. “Why don’t you just go inside the house already?†Luke suggested. “We come in as soon as we put all this stuff away.†Nick did as he was told and as soon as he had disappeared in the house Bo and Luke started to explain what had happened that afternoon. “You see Uncle Jesse, it seems like he has nowhere to go. That is if he ain't lying about his parents being dead and I can’t imagine that.†Luke said. Jesse nodded. “I think we can find a bed for him here, until we find some help for him.†Jesse said. Bo couldn’t help pulling a nasty face. “Is there a problem Bo?†Uncle Jesse asked. “No sir, I understand we have to help they boy, but it’s just I don’t like kids that much and this one ain’t the most cheery one of them all either.†“That’s funny though, considering you behave like a child most of the time yourself.†Luke said teasingly. Bo gave his cousin a deadly look but decided not to react. Partly because he knew Luke had a point. He was 21 years old but felt like a teenager more than occasionally. “One way or another, us Dukes have never let anybody stand out in the cold. Nor stranger, friend or enemy, and today is not gonna be the first time.†Jesse told his boys while walking in to the kitchen. “As long as they know there won’t be any steeling done in this house.†He said with a deep voice while holding out his hand in front of the boy with the palm up. Bo and Luke were surprised to see this ‘cause they had walked in to the kitchen at the same time as their uncle had done and they hadn’t seen Nick take anything. Though as always Jesse also seemed to be right this time cause after, what looked like a short period of doubting Nick started to empty his pockets again and pulled out a slice of bread, some cheese, two silver teaspoons and some small coins. ‘Dang, that boy is quick.’ Luke thought to himself. “It won’t be necessary to just take anything here.†Jesse said stern to the boy. “If you want something you can ask for it and we’ll get it for ya if we can. Got that?†Nick didn’t replied but let his eyes search the ground. Uncle Jesse laid the stuff he’d got back from the boy on the kitchen table and looked at him. Nick was not that tall and looked very skinny under those dusty clothes he wore. His hair was messy and greasy and Jesse couldn’t help thinking this boy could have been Cooter's little brother, if he had, had one. “I’ll guess you must be hungry.†The old man said friendly while he shortly laid his hand on the boy’s head as a comforting gesture. “I’ll ask Daisy to get you a bath so you can clean up while I’ll make ya sometin' to eat.†Nick didn’t see why he had to get cleaned up first, all he wanted was food, but considering the fact this man had just caught him steeling his things and still didn’t kick him out he didn’t dare to object and just nodded. “Good, then about you two boys, putting up fences you knocked over might be just fine, but it sure doesn’t get things done around here. Now there’re still a couple of windows that need fixing and that barn needs a good paintjob before it starts rotting away.†Bo couldn’t help a grin. “I’m not sure whether it would hold the extra weight, uncle Jesse.†He said laughing. “I’m afraid that when we even touch the darn thing with as much as a brush it will collapse.†“Well then you two just have to build it all up again now don’t ya!†The old man said a bit irritated. “Now you better get busy I’ll have supper ready within an hour and it would be nice if you had some work done by then.†Bo and Luke looked at each other and shrugged there shoulders at the same time, while both smiling. “Well cus’, guess you better take those windows, you’re the handyman around her, then I’ll start sanding that barn.†Bo suggested “You’ve got it, Bo.†Luke reacted while slapping his cousin on the shoulder. Nick watched the two men leaving the kitchen. Were had he end up? What kind of family was this? Two cousins, an uncle and someone called Daisy he hadn’t met yet. They all looked pretty close but the o’ll man definitely held the strings. “Daisy would you get in here please.†He heard Jesse call. Nick was watching the living room door when he saw this girl walking in that took his breath away for a second. Daisy Duke wore the shortest shorts he had ever seen and she walked in with a smile that could light a cave. “What can I do for ya uncle Jesse?†She asked in a cheery voice. “Daisy, could you show our guest here the bathroom and look whether you can find some o’ll clothes from Bo or Luke that would fit him for a while.†“Sure, that would be Luke’s old clothes than, Bo was much bigger even than. You just come right along now sugar.†Nick followed her in to the back of the house and in to the bathroom. Daisy opened the water taps and gave the boy a towel. “Soap and shampoo are over there.†She said and pointed at the edge of the bathtub. “I’ll put some close in front of the door and if ya need anything else just holler and I’ll come and help ya.†Nick couldn’t help blushing a bit and mumbled. “I’ll be fine, thank you.†as Daisy left the room.
  10. Hi ya'll, I'm translating one of my fan-fic's in to English and started to post it here. Please let me know what you think of it and whether my English writing capacity is good enough to make the story readable. Cause if there are to many spelling or grammar mistakes in it I can imagine that the fun of reading disappears, and I will stop posting. Also if you might have any plot suggestions i'm always glad to hear them. Please let me know what you think in this thread or PM me. Lov, JM P.S. More info about my character you can find in the biography section.
  11. It was just an ordinary Saturday afternoon when Bo and Luke Duke drove their orange racecar in to town. They had started their day with beer and donuts together with their best friend Cooter Davenport at his garage. After this weekly ritual they had been putting up fences, they knocked over the day before during playing catch with Enos and now they drove in to town to run some errands their uncle Jesse had sent them for. “If you keep driving like this ‘cus, I think I’m gonna hide your car keys someday.†Luke said with a complaining tone in his voice. “I’m not planning on putting up fences every Saturday ya know.†Bo gave him an annoyed look, “Cute Luke, very cute. It ain’t my fault Enos is driving better each day. He almost had us yesterday. If I didn’t drove us through oll man Davis his fence we would have ended up paying that speeding ticket.†Luke grinned, “Enos is getting better isn’t he. Guess we could’ve expected that, we’ve taught him everything we know.†Bo grinned back at his cousin. “Yeah we sure did, and it’s biting us in the tale now. Bo parked the car in front of the hardware store and the boys went in to get some nails, tools and other things Jesse had told them to get. About 15 minute later while they were loading everything in the trunk of their car they saw an early teenage boy running out of Mr. Williams grocery store and just a couple of seconds later Mr. Williams himself came out with his fist in the air. “Somebody catch that thieve.†They heard him yell. Bo and Luke saw there was no need to for them to run after the little shoplifter ‘cause the boy was definitely out of luck and ran right in to the arms of Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. “Well well lookie here.†Rosco said to the boy with a mean grin on his face. “Thought you could get away right. Well not on my watch you don’t khee khee.†The boy didn’t say a word and only tried to wrestle himself loose from Rosco’s firm grip. “You just settle down boy before I cuff ya and stuff ya.†Rosco warned him. Mr. Williams had joined them now and looked at the boy as if he looked at something really disgusting “Nothing good comes out those kids today.†He mumbled more to him self than to Rosco. “Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing sir. I’ll take care of this one personally.†Rosco said while putting his chest up in the air. “If you just come to the station a little bit later this afternoon to press charges, I’ll make sure this little felon will get what he deserves.†“I don’t care who does what as long as it gets done.†The grocer said grumpy and he walked back to his store. Bo and Luke had observed the whole scenario and though they didn’t had up a lot with steeling they couldn’t help feeling sorry for the boy, especially because of seeing Rosco having just al little to much fun in his job. Luke was the first to open his mouth. “Hey Rosco.†He said in a loud voice while crossing the street. “Don’t ya got nothin’ better to do than bullying kids?†Rosco, who was never happy to see a Duke, especially didn’t feel like talking to one right now. “You just keep out of this Luke Duke. I’m just doing my duty as Sheriff here. Arresting little criminals is part of that.†“Now Rosco you know just as well as we do, Boss Hogg ain’t gonna be happy if you bring in a little kid who stole some candy.†Bo supported his cousin. “And why would that be.†Rosco asked. “Well simple.†Luke said with a know-all voice.†‘'Cause it doesn’t bring in any money. You can’t put a fine on shoplifting and while you are wasting your time with this boy here you could’ve conned a whole lot of tourist what does make money for Boss.†Rosco looked a little bit stunned. “Oe hhmm well I didn’t think of that.†He stuttered. “Well why don’t you just hand over the boy to us and you try to convince Mr. Williams later this afternoon not to press charges. We’ll take care of the boy and make sure he gets home and if Mr. Williams still wants to make a case out of it we’ll have him back whit ya in no time.†Rosco seemed to be thinking about Luke proposal, but than let the boy loose. “All right then but from now on you’re responsible for everything this boy does. If he’s steeling again I’ll make sure to throw all three of ya not in but under the jail.†“Yeah Rosco you do that.†Bo said with a mocking smile. Rosco looked a little offended and wanted to walk away. Luke shied. “Rosco, don’t you want the boy to empty his pocket, so you can see what it is he stole and you can give it back to Mr. Williams.†He said on a ‘do I have to tell you everything’ kind of tone. “Yes of course I want that, I was just getting to that. Boy, empty your pockets!†The boy hadn’t said a word the whole time and was just wandering who Boss Hogg was, why the Sheriff definitely didn’t seem to like these two men and why they were helping him in the first place. Because he didn’t wanted to ruin what looked like his saving, he did what he was told and came up with an apple and some candy bars. “Inside pockets too please.†Luke said with a stern voice. The boy frowned and reached inside his jacked. “I only have one.†He mumbled while digging up a box of matches and a pocketknife. Rosco who seemed to be surprised how much stuff could come out of one kid’s jacked collected all the stolen goods. “Well I’m gonna return this immediately to Mr. Williams and you three better be gone when I get back before I change me mind about all this.†Rosco tried to sound superior. “We will, Rosco.†Luke said while putting a hand on the boys shoulder. “We will.†Now Rosco was gone and they were walking to their car Luke thought it might be handy to introduce themselves. “My name is Luke Duke.†He said with a friendly voice. “And this is my cousin Bo Duke. What’s your name buddy?†“It’s Nick, and I’m not your buddy.†The boy said cross. Luke and Bo looked a bit stunned at each other. “Well that’s not a very nice way to talk to people who just saved your sorry hide from the Sheriff now is it?†Bo reacted wound up. “Well I didn’t ask you to.†Nick said still a bit provoking, but with a much softer voice and his eyes searching the floor. Bo, who didn’t had up a lot with children wanted to react again, but Luke beat him to it. “Well Nick we told the Sheriff we would take care of ya, so better get in the car then, or if you want we can bring you back to Rosco that’s fine by us too.†Nick looked at him for a second and then grabbed the door handle to open the door of the car. He was amazed to find it stuck. “It’s a racecar.†Luke explained before the boy could ask. “The doors are welded shot. You have to clime through the window like this.†And he showed the boy how. Nick tried to clime trough the window with the same skills, but he couldn’t help looking clumsy. Bo had to hide a grin what he didn’t do well.
  12. Nicholas James Taylor (Duke) Nickname: Nick DOB: August 17 1989 Age 12-16 depends which part of the story. Hair: Dark brown and a bit messy. Eye: Brown. Build: Not really long and kind of skinny (but with a temper to make up for that) (Adopted) son of Lukas K. Duke Nick was raised in a very poor family, his parents made him and his little brother steel for a living. When his parents die in a car crash, a nice family adopts his little brother Tom, but Nick himself doesn’t do good in foster care. He can’t stand the family’s where he’s placed or they can’t stand him. After 4 different families he decides to take off and try it on his own, shoplifting and steeling for food. Just untill he runs in to the Duke family! Nick has quite a temper, and some adjustment problems, but at hart he is a good boy. Extra info: He's (very) afraid of hospitals.
  13. Well, I guess I have a lot of favorites to, I loved 'One armed bandits', 'Swamp Molly' and 'Carnaval thrills'. (They aired part one yesterday and now I have to wait untill Monday to see part two :x ) Also very good were 'In this corner Luke Duke' "Luke's love story' (Though Bo and Luke behave like jerks most of the time it hass some real good Jesse-boys interaction.) and Farewell Hazzard (like Jam and Amanda once said in a post, it does give us a lot of background information) I know I liked 'Big brothers Duke' very mutch when I saw it but that's a long time a go and I can't remeber the whole episode and because you can only get season 1 and 2 on DVD around here i'll have to wait untill they air that one to be sure. Well that were them, JM
  14. This I found on a site ones. I don't want to take credit for them, but still share them with you, so check them out yourself at: http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/9182/toomuch.htm lov, JM
  15. Yeah I know what you mean. First I thought he was the same guy as the balladeer in the second reunion movie, dukes of Hollywood, but when I checked that it wasn't true, but he still sounds a like, though I think.
  16. Oh, and I also liked the balladeer very mutch. He maid me laugh end brought back the most familiar feelings.
  17. YeHaaa! The Dukes of Hazzard movie finaly came out in the Netherlands yesterday. I suppose everything that could be said about the movie hass already bine said, but I give it a go anyway. Let me start by saying I thought the movie wass very funny. I had some good laughs during the entire show. So because of this I don't want to call it a bad movie (please keep this in mind while reading the following and also remember my criticism is only based on the characters and not on the acting capacity of the actors) I did miss the Hazzard spirit though. I didn't get the feeling 'I was in hazzard' so to speak. The General was great, nothing bad about that, but what about Rosco being so mean all of a sudden? And Boss Hogg being almost handsom and eating crab instead of pork chops? I liked it that they were a bit more serieus then in the tv-show but, the great characters from the '80-ths were gone. And Bo Duke fainting because of a girl? I guess the only time the tv-show Bo would have done that is when he wanted to trick her in to mouth to mouth resuscitation ( LOL) Cooter wass good, Sheeves very funny and if I kept my eyes closed I could allmost hear the real Enos. In the beginning I thought I would be the most dissapointed in Jessica Simpson, but that wassn't true. I agree completely with what Brent had to say about her: "I'll admit I thought Ms Simpson was a bad choice from the get-go. But, after watching her deliver lines it was obvious she did possess the ability to be more than just a "hood ornament." Unfortunately, that was all she was portrayed as. The TV Daisy was there to look good when that was what was needed but she was also the smartest and most educated of the family." I think I missed the family-value aspect the most. Bo and Luke weren't really good oll boys, were they?' They were Just goofing around a little. What was very amusing to watch but...well not really good oll boys. I couldn't see that brotherly bond between them, just as mutch as I couldn't feel the family bond between all the dukes. The most dissapointed I wass in Uncle Jesse. He wassn't a patriarch at all! And what about him, making viagra jokes, telling divorces are good and smoking pot!!!??? I think it goes with out saying this didn't pay any respect to the real character. (I did love Willie Nelson sing for that mather.) Well so far my review on the big screen Dukes of Hazzard movie. In short I could say I liked the movie, it was funny, but with exception of the theme, the names of the characters, the incredible car stunts, it had little to do with the real dukes of hazzard. Something that would have bine a impossible goal to begin with, I think. JM
  18. Yeah that's the one!. (So i'm not going mental yet, nice to know. LOL) And hubcaps it is right? Well I quess I learned two things today than thanx!!!!!!!
  19. Hi ya'll, Somewhere in the back of my head I thought I remembered a episode about two kids steeling wheelcaps (thats how those iron things on the wheels of cars are called right?) of cars in hazzard including those of the general Lee and cousing trouble in town? But I never saw another re-run of it ever. Does anybody else remember this episode or is het just an figment of my imagination? (In that case i'd probably see the doc again cause it's happening a lot lately LOL) And if it exists does anybody know how the episode is called and in which season it aired? JM

  24. Since i wass a kid i've bin a fan of everything that includes cars, Night Rider, Michael Valliant and ofcourse DOH the most of all. I was sure that when I would hit 18 (legal driving age here in Holland) i would get my drivers lincense immediately. It didn't happen as I planned becauce a few days after i turned 18 i 'had to go in to the hospital for surgery and after that I went of to college and i didn't had the money to take drivers lessons. I still wanted to get my drivers licence as soon as I'd get the chance but, last christmas a very good friend of mine died in a car crash. The idea of him being a very carefull driver and still end up dead scared the H--l out of me so much I didn't wanna drive anymore. Last Sunday my family and I went to a theme park where they had a cart-track. (small but fast vehicles). I didn't really wanted to go at first, but seeing how much fun everybody had I made myself get over it. So ofcourse I picked the orange Cart and gave it a try. I drove my daddy, my brother and his friend all of the track end ended up first!!! Yeehah Girlpower!!!! Now the urge to get my lincence is back, but i'm still scared of actually getting in to a car and mingle in traffic and I can't shake it. Does anybody know this problem? Can anybody give me tips or advice how to lose this thing? I'm really convinced I have to do this now. (Otherwise i'll by fifty and I'll still didn't do it) Not only for the fun of driving but what if I have to get somebody to the hospital some day or something and I don't know how to drive a car? Hope ya'll have some advise for me. JM
