Congratulations to Hobie for earning Fan of the Month honors for January 2021. While most of us live a Dukes of Hazzard fantasy, the Hazzard County lifestyle is reality to Hobie and we're lucky to have a genuine Southern boy here on the HN. We appreciate all of your posts Hobie. We appreciate the Southern flair you add to this place, and most of all, we appreciate your friendship. Thanks for everything you do here on the best website on the internet....I'll tip a glass on egg nog to you on this New Year's Day and I won't waste a sip.

Congrats

Thanks guys! Anytime you guys want to taste some pure SOUTHERN hospitality, let me know! I can show you a General Lee or 2 we have around here and other Southern things, I know you'll like! Thanks again! You guys are great!

Well, I kept to my word about F1 hijacks in 2020, and waited until 2021! To add to all of his other achievements, Lewis Hamilton received a knighthood in the New Year Honours List. He follows in the footsteps of other F1 drivers Sir Jack Brabham, Sir Stirling Moss and Sir Jackie Stewart.

Congratulations, Hobie - what a great way to start the new year .

I got my second late Christmas present. It is a John Schneider autograph written on the outside of the case that contains his movie "Christmas Cars". This is my first Bo autograph. He wrote. "Merry Christmas Cars Roger, John Schneider". Pretty cool. I'll probably watch the movie tonight and post here what it was like.

There's more to this than I imagined. From Wikipedia: In the United States the most common name suffixes are senior and junior, which are written with a capital first letter (Sr. and Jr.) with or without an interceding comma. In Britain these are rarer, but when they are used the abbreviations are Snr and Jnr, respectively. The use of these social terms is governed by etiquette, but not enshrined in law. According to The Emily Post Institute, an authority on etiquette, the term Jr. can be correctly used only if a male child's first, middle, and last names are identical to his father's (current) names. When a male child has the same name as his grandfather, uncle or male cousin, but not his father, he can use the II suffix, which is pronounced, "the second". ... In the United Kingdom, the suffixes "Snr." and "Jnr." are rare, and not usually considered part of a person's name as such. Ordinal suffixes such as "III" are generally reserved for monarchs; however, the General Register Office has stated that, whereas it would normally reject a string of symbols or letters that "has no intrinsic sense of being a name" when registering a child, a suffix such as "III" would be accepted. Those who inherit a title of nobility do not use ordinal suffixes, but are distinguished from any ancestors with the same name by their position in the order of succession; for example Arthur Wellesley, 2nd Duke of Wellington is thus distinguished from his father, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Where I've met people in Ireland who are named after their father, they generally just use a variation of their name, e.g. Michael and his son Mick. I've just realized that the example I gave above also applies to German racing driver Michael Schumacher and his racing driver son Mick Schumacher. I honestly wasn't thinking of them when I wrote it.
