Welcome Back Bo 'n' Luke.....season 5 The Miss Tri-County beauty contest is going on and Boss is about to announce the winner. Seconds ago, a yellow Mustang pulled into the Boar's Nest parking lot and two men in racing clothes and wearing helmets got out of the car. They had just finished hot-rodding around, driving through the county, pulling tricks like driving on two wheels. They walk in and remove their helmets at the same time Boss is talking and their presence throws him off his train of thought. "The winners are....Bo and Luke Duke!" The arrival of the boys was a huge surprise to Boss, and also to a joyous Jesse and Daisy. Cooter was supposed to be one of the judges at the contest but was working in his garage. A $5,000 balloon payment was due and he had been working overtime and even moonlighting in a garage out of town. Boss wanted the garage so he could tear it down and build a shopping mall. Later, back at the Duke farm, Coy and Vance announce that they are leaving because Aunt Bessie and Uncle Elbert are in desperate need of help. Bo surprises Daisy and Jesse with the Mobile Cup, the trophy they won by beating the best NASCAR drivers in the country. The next thing you know, there was an emotional good-bye and the new Duke boys become the old Duke boys as Coy and Vance disappear in a cloud of dust in the yellow Mustang. Bo and Luke then hopped in the General Lee and on the way to Hazzard the radiator that Cooter had just fixed, blew while playfully running from Enos. A happy reunion with Cooter didn't last when Cooter became grumpy. It was clear that he was exhausted and had been working too hard. He refused to tell them about possibly losing the garage. The boys then went to the Boar's Nest and ran into NASCAR driver Petey Willis, his daughter Sarah Ann and his back up driver, Joey. Petey had just come out of retirement and wanted just one more win, the Atlanta 500. Sarah Ann was worried about her father and Joey then made a suspicious phone call. Petey asked the Dukes if they knew a good mechanic and before you know it, Cooter's head was under Petey's #55 car's hood. Enos and Rosco's cars break down while chasing the Dukes and the boys worry about letting Cooter work on Petey's car since his work doesn't appear to be up to the usual standards. Jesse went to talk to Cooter with the boys but he still wouldn't say what the problem was. Later, with the garage unattended, Joey did something bad under the hood of Petey's car that caused the engine to blow when Petey was testing it. Petey was hurt real bad and ended up in the hospital. Sarah Ann blamed the Dukes and Cooter blamed himself so he sold the garage to Boss and drove off to live the life of a hermit in the hills but first stopped at Petey's hospital room to drop off the money from the sale of the garage. The 4 Dukes find out about Cooter's money troubles and also find out that Joey switched the fuel lines, replacing a high performance line with a standard one. Bo and Luke expose Joey's dirty deed to Sarah Ann and catch him at the old circus train after a chase. Daisy pretended to be skinny dipping and took the deed to the garage out of Rosco's car as he was heading to Atlanta to file it. Jesse caught up with Cooter and convinced him to come back to town. Joey got arrested. Petey healed. Cooter got his garage back and Bo and Luke were back for good. -- Despite the sad loss of Coy and Vance, this episode must rank amongst one of the favorites of every Duke fan. It was not just historic to Dukes fans but to everybody. I remember it well. Everybody was talking about it back then, whether you were a Dukes fan or not. I also remember smiling the entire episode, every time Bo and Luke were on the screen. Well, except when Petey got hurt of course! -- It really was cool to see all 4 Duke boys in the opening song....a truly unique open.

You sure your name ain't J.D. Hogg?

Well, we COULD do that, but what other merchandise out there would you talk about cheat codes, strategies, and shtuff like that about? I think we'll leave things as is for a bit, let folks get used to the new forums. And then, well... who knows. We might consolidate. We might add more! MUAHAHAHAHA. LOL.

I wanted to add to what Mufn said about the avatars....at one point when I posted that using avatars was available on the old board, I asked nicely for folks to keep the pics to a smaller size. I was pretty much ignored. LOL With so many members on this board, there was no way I could individualy PM each person who had larger avatars and ask them to please reduce the size. Plus, I had a feeling, and as Enos Fan described from other board admin experience, I would be ignored further or would upset somebody. Anyway! I'm liking this new board software. Especially in keeping out the junk sign ups and spammers. More often then not we would get around 10 to 15 new sign ups per day on the old board and all of them I would have to go in and check individually and then delete and then ban email addresses and what not. At one point we were totally bombed with junk registrations with somebody using the hotmail email. There must've been close to 50 sign ups within a two day period. I ended up having ban ALL hotmail email addresses because of it. The less amount of time I have to spend policing, the more I can spend playing. I'm all for that. Khee! Now, Brian said something about editin' my posts. ROFL. I did find a pic attached to one of them. Wonder if he edited any others. Hmmmm.....

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Both the General and the Trans Am were gas guzzlers. They could pass anything BUT a gas station!!!
