    It was a few hours later, when Brian's aimless driving led him home again. It was dinnertime, and the cars in the driveway showed that MaryAnne and Rosco were already home. Brian parked Diablo and went inside the house, not feeling much like conversation, but knowing that avoiding dinner would send up a red flag to his investigatively-natured cousins.

    Without explanation for being late, Brian walked into the kitchen, grabbed a plate, and heaped it up as if he had an appetite. He took his usual spot at the table, muttering a dry "Howdy" to his cousins, keeping his eyes on the food. He poked around with it half-heartedly until MaryAnne's voice startled him out of his silence.

    "You gonna eat that, cousin, or are you just examining it?"

    The emotions, close to the surface for hours, could no longer be hidden. "I guess I'm just lookin' for somethin' that ain't there." Sighing, Brian put down his fork, and glanced over at MaryAnne. “That, and ah’m wishin’ I was somebody else.â€

    MaryAnne and Rosco had both noticed Brian's quiet mood when he came home, and had figured whatever it was that was bothering him would come out eventually. MaryAnne was just surprised it came out this quick. She glanced at Rosco and then settled her gaze back on her black-clad cousin with concern. "What's wrong?"

    "It just hit me today that I ain't got much to offer anybody." A tone of frustration tinged the words. "I've changed mah life, but I'll nevah be able to change it enough to fit in where I don't belong."

    MaryAnne's features creased in question. What brought all this on? "Change takes time, cousin...." she offered. "There was a time when you never would have believed you'd be where you are right now... You do belong here." The young deputy's blue eyes searched Brian's expression from across the table.

    His dark eyes met the gaze, then flicked back down at the plate. "Ah appreciate this home n' all, don’t get me wrong." A deep sigh came from within the black-clad chest. "Maybe...it's that there's only so far I can go. An' there's only so far that I can be in somebody's life." Brian fell silent, bringing a glass of milk to his mouth as if to swallow down the words.

    At this, Rosco shifted his weight in the chair he sat in. MaryAnne caught the movement and realized he understood what was bothering Brian, and that she was about a pace behind. The elder Coltrane looked at his young cousin and put the entire issue forward with the utterance of a single name. "Chance?"

    Miserably, Brian nodded. "Used to think we had a lot in common...both grew up in Atlanta an' had a rough start. But she overcame it the right way n' made a good life for herself. She's got an education n' her own career. Ah've got...squat."

    MaryAnne hid her dissatisfaction with the 'squat' comment by taking a drink of her milk. Rosco felt it though and he gave Brian a half-smile. "No...you don't have squat. You and Chance still do have a lot in common. Just because y'all didn't overcome that rough start at the same time, doesn't make you any less worthy to her."

    Brian sighed and moved back from the table. "Ah'm not exactly a big contributor around here, either." With this, he got up and put his plate of barely-touched food in the fridge; the household budget didn't allow for waste.

    He walked past the table, but before leaving, paused at the doorway. He looked at his cousins with an expression of apology, though his mood of self-condemnation didn't accept their reassurances. A moment later, the screen door banged with his exit.

    Rosco sighed and dropped his napkin on the table. Before he could push the chair back, MaryAnne spoke. "Rosco....just let him go."

    "MaryAnne---"

    "Just leave him alone, Rosco. We've been through this before." She sighed. "He'll figure it out."

  8. Opinions Needed...

    I was talking to my friend Jen yesterday ( the girl I'm going to the debs with) about trying to find someone to do a good fake id, and she suggested I try and borrow our friend Ian's id. He's still 17 now, but will be 18 by October ( when the debs is on). Apparently we look quite similar although I can't see the resemblance. Ian is on the left and I'm on the right. Can anyone see the resemblance?

    And I suppose y'all deserve to see a picture of me and Jen. This was taken last year in our dressing room.

    I'm not going to repeat several great comments by others in this thread.

    RBBM (respectfully bolded by me) - What if the friend was injured. Taken to the hospital and couldn't be identified due to no id?

    Maybe that is something you have already considered. Whether you stay until the official ending, I wish you & your friend to have a great time!

  15. Where are you when you get on HazzardNet?

    I get on the site on my Android, as I dont have internet at my apartment. I wish there was an app for the hazzardnet so I had no problems getting on anytime or anyplace.

    Favorite crime related forum uses TapATalk app and get a "this app has an error, force close" sometimes. Different forum has a vBulletin mobile skin, haven't gotten an error yet on the same phone.

    Experience is one forum's mobile skin is less glitchy than an app.

    It's also interesting on the app type, it will say 40 pages for 400 replies, yet using a desktop or laptop, the numbers are 8 pages for 400 replies.

    Tried to get on various sites with no response, meanwhile years old desktop brought the sites up immediately. What might work for one device, might not be compatible for another.

    While I'd probably use the desktop more, I agree it would would be nice if Hnet had a mobile skin or app someday!

    I'm torn between A) and H), although both are guesses. I think I'll blindly shoot an arrow at the target and go for H) Hazzard County Sportsman's Club :).

    Just to clear up Daney's questions (with the help of IMDb.com):

    Waylon Jennings was Balladeer in both 'Moonrunners' and Dukes.

    Jerry Rushing, aka Jake Rainey's bodyguard in 'Moonrunners', was Ace Parker in 'Repo Men'.

    Ben Jones, aka. Fred (Chicago Federal Agent) in 'Moonrunners', played Cooter Davenport.

    Pete Munro, aka. Zeebo in 'Moonrunners', played Willie in 'Jude Emery'.

    Bill Gribble, aka. Cooter Pettigrew in 'Moonrunners', played Carson in 'Daisy's Song'.

    The actress who played Rose Ellen and Holly Comfurt was Miriam Byrd-Nethery.

    You're awesome Hoss! It was interesting to see how many actors were in both! Or how a DOH guest star in 1 season was completely someone else in another.

    Link - there is a nice picture of him & John dressed alike, along with tv & film credits. General Lee jump slide show.

    Not sure when that page was made or updated, says his son was going to be a 3rd generation stunt professional.

    Thoughts & prayers for family and friends. RIP Mr. Wyatt

    No need Roger, Daney already has the right answer - it was 'Trouble at Cooter's'. If you have the closed captions on while the boys are singing it doesn't show the lyrics but does say "Do you know the words?". If you need the closed captions, how do you know what the song is?. :confused:

    Anyone else care to ask a question?.

    Thank you, Hoss! How's this for a question?

    what actors appeared in Moonrunners & Dukes Of Hazzard in different roles? Waylon as the balladeer in both makes 5 actors from Moonrunners to participate in DOH.

    Hint: 1 is recurring, 3 were guests on 1 episode each, all before the 3rd season.

    or

    Question #2:

    Double Sting episode's Rose Ellen & less than a year later, Southern Comfurts episode's Holly Comfurt was played by which actress?
