Two months late on posting my condolescences, but better late than never, I guess. Didn't really know she had passed as I never really check any news sites.
She was a wonderful actress and LuLu was a personal favorite of mine, simply because she was the only thing close to having my grandmother alive; even though she was on t.v. Miss Rea looked and even had mannerisms mimicking that of my grandmother, which made it heart-warming for me to watch her.
My prayers and thoughts are with the family.

Favorite author of all time is J.R.R. Tolkien, favorite book(s) of his are as follows:
The 12 volume History of Middle Earth
Unfinished Tales
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
The Silmarillion
The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
" " " " " : The Two Towers
" " " " " : The Return of the King
The Children of Hurin
...haha, well. Anything that deals with Middle Earth, I'd say
My second favorite author would be J.K. Rowling. I love the Harry Potter series.
Third would be Dan Brown. I love Bad Omens, Angels and Demons and the Divinci Code.
Fourth would be Stephen King, Rose Red and the Diary of Ellen Rembaur: My Life at Rose Red.
Fifth would be Anne Rice. The Vampire Chronicles. The REAL non-sparkly vampires.

Looks like the can o' worms has been opened again...
The series, be it purely for fun or not, will always mean something different to someone; It's going to mean more to someone than it will to another person. So yes, people do tend to get serious about it when it comes to something they're passionate about. IE you join a Dukes site, be prepared for some serious die hard fans that hold the series close to their hearts; that's like with a Lord of the Rings site, a Harry Potter site and dare I even speak it...a Twilight site.
...even though for the latter of the choices you're more likely to find the psychotically obsessive fans. I know there's a few twi-hard fans on here, and I only hope you're not like this.
With that being said, whether they are psychotically obsessive or not over a show (and I'm not saying Dukes fans are) there's always a reason as to WHY they are and that's what truly matters. So, "it is what is; fun and nothing else" may only apply to you and those who simply watch the show for just that; fun.
Having spoken my piece on that, I will go on to say that I can't really disagree with SheriffRoscoPColtrane. While growing up, yes the show did mean something to me and it still does (it did help me grasp the concept of what's right and what's wrong) I can now say that I mainly watch the show these days, if at all anymore, to get a few kicks out of it.
There truly was no one set plot line either (having the characters work towards something) UNLESS you consider the boys, maybe, working towards the end of their probation a plot line and a possible direction, in which case I would have to disagree with there being no one set plot line/direction to the story.

Colossians 3:17 – "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
Deuteronomy 8:10 – "When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you."
Happy Thanksgiving Day everyone. Staying at home this year and eating Thanksgiving dinner, family get togethers with my family tend to end in horse shoe battles, hehe. -

Thank you to my Grandfather whom fought in WW2. Thank you to my brother-in-law and cousin whom fought in Iraq. Thank you to a host of uncles who fought in the Korean and Vietnam war. And most importantly, thank you to ALL veterans, for allowing us to stay a free country and get a peaceful sleep at night.
May God Bless the families of those who have served, passed, and who are serving. -
Rio- Duran Duran
Haha, that actually sounds as if it's sung in Elvish (since it is comprised of both welsh and finnish) Hoss.

We're not a bad lot generally.
I would have to agree with you there.

Thanks everyone.

I rather enjoyed his performance

HossC, I'm going to have to write that one down. It has molasses in it, so I can guarantee I'll like it!
A while back I said if I ever found the Bloomin' Onion Recipe that is served at our Black Gold Festival I would post it. I found it on the food network website and will post the recipe here:
Ingredients
Oil, for deep frying
1 large sweet onion
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon seafood and meat seasoning (recommended: Old Bay seasoning)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon white pepper
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
Mild ranch dressing or spicy barbecue dressing, for serving
Directions
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan or Dutch oven with tall sides to 350 degrees F. The oil should only come halfway up the sides of the pan, but should completely immerse the whole onion.
Peel the skin off the onion, leaving the root end intact. Cut a small slice off the top. Starting at the top of the onion make a cut down 1 side toward the root, stopping 1/2-inch from the bottom. Make additional cuts at 1/8-inch intervals until there are cuts across the entire top of the onion.
Rotate the onion so the cuts are horizontal to you. Continue to cut at 1/8-inch intervals, forming a checkerboard pattern across the entire top of the onion. To help the onion "bloom," gently spread the "petals."
Combine the dry ingredients in a shallow bowl or pan. Dust the onion with the flour mixture. Combine milk and beaten egg in a small, deep bowl. Dip the dusted onion into the egg mixture and then back into the flour mixture.
When the oil has reached 350 degrees F, carefully submerge the onion in the oil and fry for 10 minutes, turning as needed, until a golden color. Remove and drain the excess oil.
Serve with a variety of sauces, such as a mild ranch dressing or a spicy barbecue sauce.

Thanks Roger and Hoss!
You may not be able to tell them you're fan of the month any longer, but at least we all know you were one of the lucky ones to be rewarded with it! -
I don't feel that it'll ever get old. Like a few others said, it's timeless. There's a song that often runs through my head when I watch it. I don't know who sings it, but it's called Forever Young. Lol a bit wierd I know but to me it's almost a perfect description.
Rod Stewart sings it

Here's mine.

Seeing the Charger get smashed kinda made me giggle. Just saying... Go Impala!
Seeing the General smashed however? Just another day at the office.
I cracked up when I watched it.
I was just glad it wasn't the Metallicar or else I would've cried. Oh Castiel, you and your disrespect for modern day transportation.

Was browsing around in under the John Schneider section and stumbled back upon the old thread of "Which Bo Duke is Better". Being a Luke fan, I decided to do a Luke poll.
My opinion varies. While I'll always be more partial to the original...
I do like the Johnny Knoxville version. I've been a fan of Knoxville's since 2000. I'll admit, he wasn't dead on Luke's character, but the movie did have it's moments, be them few and far (if at all) in between. This movie was made for the newer generations, not the older. And I think a lot of people tend to forget that little keypoint. I like to think on the positive side though (and believe me, that's rare) when it comes to this movie. At least it opened up to the newer generation, who probably hasn't even heard of the Dukes of Hazzard, a sort of...curiosity, I guess. It at least let them know that there was a hit and well loved t.v show about the Dukes. I know a few people who hadn't seen the series, but saw the movie. When they did their research and found the show, they fell in love with it. So that's a positive aspect isn't it?
But, I digress as I normally tend to do, and have no doubt, opened up a whole new can o' worms. *sigh*
Anyways, to get back on topic, Who was your favorite Luke?
