I have a friend who is having trouble signing up. He'd be able to see this thread though even without being a member so could you explain the sign up process Hoss or MM....or direct him to the right thread. Thanks...you know how low tech I am. I'm not sure what the problem is. I think it's the part where you have to prove you're not a robot.

Pin the Tail on the Dukes....season 4 Jesse's old friend Hector Farley gets out of prison after 10 years and immediately starts seeking revenge on Boss. Boss is worried so he tries to get Hector thrown in jail but the Dukes have other plans. Boss embezzled $10,000 worth of taxpayers dollars to buy radar guns but only bought 2 hair dryers disguised as them. One of them got ruined when the General Lee splashed on it so Boss planned to arrest the Duke boys for destroying county property. In the meantime the Dukes have their hands full trying to stop Hector from hurting Boss and going back to prison. Boss calls Hector and tells him to meet in front of the courthouse because he wants to make things right and give him the $25,000 dollars he owes him but Bo and Luke grab him before he can fall into that trap. Daisy and Jesse snatch Cletus's fake radar gun and toss it to the boys and Hector in the General. The boys told Boss they would report his embezzlement unless he drops the charges and gives Hector his money but Boss tricks them and grabs the hair dryer and takes off for Hazzard Swamp to destroy the evidence but the Duke boys get there when Rosco throws it. In the most spectacular catch in series history Luke snatches the dryer in mid air in the passenger seat while Bo is flying the General over the swamp. Boss is forced to accept the deal and a ridge runner handshake seals it. -- "Back in 1944 in Hazzard High 'ole Rosco threw two touchdowns....at the wrong goal." -Waylon -- a rare episode where we see a television in the Dukes house -- Boss had such a big pile of donuts on his desk you couldn't even see him behind it. -- Mr Rhuebottom makes his first appearance even though his store has been there since season number one when filming in California began.....and even though Boss foreclosed on it a few episodes ago in "Trouble at Cooter's"

Despite the current censorship we've been seeing the past couple of years the General Lee is still the most recognizable car in the world and that will remain that way for the rest of our lives and longer!

That's so cool. I really love it when I hear a Dukes reference. I love it. I love it..knee khee!

I can relate. While using my imagination one day I imagined an encounter with a mythical beast eating a deer. The scene struck me enough that I expanded it and eventually my thoughts went even further and thought of a story line. The next thing you know I thought it was a good idea for a book and have been working on it for 10 years. It is a Lord of the Rings style tale and I have split it up into three books. One where the main character is 15. One where he is 49 and one where he is 82. Now that I'm retired I have a lot more time for it. I guess every big project ever accomplished by anybody, started with a single thought.

Since you included the word "phrases" in there and since I'm cheating and have the episode list in front of me. Witness for the Persecution - witness for the prosecution- season 2 The Hazzardville Horror- The Amityville Horror- season 3 Baa, Baa White Sheep - Baa Baa Black Sheep- season 3 (old TV series about WW2 fighter pilots) The Sound of Music (pretty obvious) Hazzard Style - season 4 Pin the Tail on the Dukes (donkey) - season 4 Coy meets Girl - boy meets girl - season 5 The Hazzardgate Tape - the Watergate tape - season 5 Ding Dong the Boss is Dead - ding dong the witch is dead - season 5 The Boar's Nest Bears - The Bad News Bears - season 6 A Boy's best Friend - a man's best friend - season 6 Dead and Alive - dead or alive - season 6 Dr. Jekyll and Mr Duke (Hyde) - season 7 Go West Young Dukes (man) - season 7 When you Wish Upon a Hogg (star) - season 7 I'm sure I missed some because who knows what the title creators we're thinking. For example, were they thinking of the Orient Express with Danger on the Hazzard Express? It seemed like the later the series went the more they played with the title references.

The odd thing is that Moonshine is often called shine but is never called moon. If you just say the title and didn't see the episode you wouldn't think of moonshine. I wonder who wrote the episode titles. It might have been the writers but maybe not. I know from experience that if you write an article or letter to a newspaper they write the title for you.....and sometimes do a terrible job.

Awesome Hossome!

Shine on Hazzard Moon.....season 4 All 4 Dukes are in the General Lee on the way home from fishing. All 4 caught their limit of trout on the first day of the season....Waylon said he did too. Cletus started chasing them after they went through a 5 MPH sign. Jesse pointed out that he couldn't even walk that slow. Cletus ended up in the pond and caught his own fish and pointed it like a gun. Boss has a big time buyer named Jasper Fenwick test his moonshine but Jasper said it was terrible and he'd only make a deal if Jesse would make the shine or if Boss could use Jesse's recipe. (Jasper's henchman Eli reminded me of a bigger stronger Bill Clinton). Boss took $202.10 to Jesse and claimed he overpaid on the mortgage. He suggested Jesse put it in a safe place so he put it in a cookie box. The next morning Boss and Rosco lured the Dukes out of the house and Rosco took what he thought was the shine recipe from the box but when he brought it back, Boss knew right away it was horse linament. Boss then hires Rayford Flicker to make it look like the boys stole from the orphanage playground fund. After a chase they go to jail and Boss made a deal with Jesse....their freedom for Jesse making up a batch of moonshine. Boss let's him use his personal still. Since Cletus always ends up in the pond he is reading a book on how to swim while guarding the jail but Cooter tricks him and the boys escape. They catch Rayford and he signs a confession that Boss paid him to frame them. Jasper buys the "shine" and then Boss forces Jesse to load the still and haul it to Chickasaw where Big Ed is waiting after being called. Luke and Jesse were able to dump the evidence in the swamp and Jesse revealed that all he made was some "pretty top grade motuthwash." -- "You know, Bo and Luke went to the fair once and rode one of them big time roller coasters. They fell asleep." -- Bo talking about Cletus "He's alright though" .......Waylon's response "If you can call being Cletus alright." -- Great scene of the General and Sheriff's car jumping in opposite directions. When the scene froze while they were in mid air Waylon said. "Friends, that's America. Kinda purty ain't it?"

The Sound of Music-Hazzard Style....season 4 Cletus is chasing the General Lee out on the dirt roads while Mickey Gilley is giving a daytime concert at the Hazzard Gazebo and singing "Object of My Affection". What Mickey doesn't know is that 2 record pirates, named Heep and Morton have been hired by Boss and are in a nearby van illegally recording the concert. When federal agents try to arrest Heep and Morton they stop the General Lee and force the boys to be a getaway car. This makes the agents think the Duke boys are record pirate accomplices. Eventually the boys and the General get away from the bad guys. Rosco is worried about Boss's scam because he just got into astrology and says the planets aren't lined up for them to succeed. His obssession with astrology lasts all episode. The agents don't know Boss and Rosco are crooked so they report the pirates to them. Bo and Luke don't know Boss is in with the pirates so they report to them as well. After Rosco gets the pirated tape that was in the back of the General he tries to arrest the boys but they get away. Boss and the duo of Heep and Morton spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to double cross each other. One of the agents catches the boys but they get away with a dramatic double jump onto Dixie with Daisy driving. Heep and Morton steal money from Boss and take him hostage in their van and later grab Rosco too. It's the Duke boys to the rescue, fighting off the bad guys and their bulldozers, one of them (driverless) almost crushing the General but then hitting Cletus's car. The agents arrest Heep and Morton and Mickey returns and sings "The Girls all get Prettier at Closing Time". He gives the Dukes a reward that they donate to the orphanage.

scream I'm not into that stuff too much but it's fun around Halloween. I do want to visit the haunted prison in Moundsville WV. It is west of Pittsburgh, right by where WV, Ohio and Pennsylvania come together. The huge native American mound looks fascinating too.

It sure is affecting fantaay teams too. The fantasy team that has the most covid cases is usually losing.

I'm not even going to be doing much trash talking this year. Your Cubs are better than my Pirates so I might as well just admit it and get it over with. The big question is: can the season make it until playoffs? It's not looking good.

haunted house

What a fascinating story. It has more twists than a Hazzard County dirt road. Thanks for sharing it JRC99 and it sure is good to hear from you again. And HAPPY BIRYHDAY later this week!

Dukescam Scam.....season 4 On the way to pay the mortgage the 4 Dukes see Emery Potter driving out of town in a hurry. When they got to the bank Rosco was there cashing his check and the next thing you know, bank teller Laverne is screaming inside the vault after discovering it's been burglarized. The Dukes and Rosco catch up with Boss on the road and Rosco arrests him for the burglary and throws him in jail. Boss claims his innocence and blames Emery. Boss claims all his money is tied up in a land deal and Jesse agrees to risking the farm on the bail bond agreement. (Boss softened him up to fall for the scam by reminding him he bailed him out in 1938 and owes him a favor.) Later, Boss is seen leaving town with his bags packed so it's clear he's going to skip bail so the Dukes lose the farm. The Dukes went looking for his hideout but when they find him he gets away and next, they failed to find Emery. Judge Potts is forced to take the farm away from the Dukes since Boss didn't show up for the trial. Minutes later Boss comes back into town and takes Jesse into the vault to prove to him the bank was never burglarized to begin with. When the vault door gets shut everybody realizes Boss and Jesse only have an hour to live before they run out of air. Laverne tells the Dukes that Emery knows the combination so they go after him. After Boss says they only have 39 minutes to live Jesse claims that it is 41 and they laugh that Boss is trying to cheat someone even in his last hour of life. Emery arrives and passes out from stress when starting to open the door but thankfully Luke was paying attention when Emery was repeating the numbers on the way there. When the two old timers got out they agreed to trade the bail bond agreement for the tape that was recorded in the vault where Boss confessed. Jesse and Boss did the Ridge Runner spit handshake to seal the deal.

I finally did it. I went and joined Facebook so I could meet more Dukes fans. Who knows, maybe I can get a few of them to visit the HazzardNet......and maybe even stay longer than a visit.

All I know is that your boys are beating up my poor Pirates. I bet you're enjoying that! Sorry Garrett. I can't read my private messages for some reason. All I get is a blank white page.

Hughie Hogg Strikes Again.....season 4 While driving a motor home into Hazzard, Hughie Hogg, disguised as an old man, runs the Duke boys into a pond in the opening scene. He then shows up at Boss's office and promises to make up for past dirty deeds by showing Boss his plan to help him foreclose on Cooter's garage so he can build Hogg's Happy Hacienda Hoggominiums. Boss agrees and Hughie starts the plan right away by having Cooter thrown in jail for stealing his wallet....while still disguised as an old man. Bo and Luke start working in the garage to help a jailed Cooter make his mortgage payment and when Rosco and Cletus go to arrest them for consorting with a known criminal (Cooter) they get away and Rosco ends up in a pond. Jesse and Daisy then start working in the garage while Bo and Luke sneak into Boss's office and figure out what he's up to. Hughie and his two henchmen set up Jesse and Daisy to make it look like they are selling moonshine at the garage and Boss calls the department of ATF to get an agent from Capitol City to come to Hazzard to arrest Jesse. The Duke boys break into the motor home and finally figure out that it is Hughie, in various disguises, who is behind all this. Later, when Hughie and his men were going to the ATF agent to give him the fake evidence against Jesse, the Duke boys catch up to them and Luke throws a bee's nest into the motor home to flush them out. Bo and Luke then destroy the evidence and Boss kicked Hughie out of Hazzard again. Cooter made his mortgage payment and Buck Owens was forced to sing "Tiger by the Tail" after getting caught in the celebrity speedtrap. -- Miz Tisdale utters that line "That Jesse Duke just sets my motor at fast idle." -- Once again Rosco says "That would have killed ten ordinary men." -- In a nightime scene with Bo and Luke camping out you could see stars. I was wrong when I thought the only time we ever see stars in Hazzard was in the Strange Visitor episode. --When Rosco went into the pond after bragging to Cletus what a good driver he was Cletus said "Guess he meant diving lessons" -- When Hughie said he went to college and majored in criminal law Boss said "Oh, you were studying to be a lawyer?" Hughie responded "No, a criminal".

Planned on getting work done outside all day but it looks like we're in for an all day rain. Oh well, I have plenty to do inside too, including catch another DOH episode. Any of you folks have weekend plans?

ghost (like Charlie Brown with a dozen holes for eyes "I got a little carried away with the scissors")

I just got back from the dirt track. It was nice to see the local hot rods running around the oval on Friday night. It's the first time I've been to the races all summer. I'm off quarantine and the health department told me I have no restrictions. I went kayaking today too.

I'm optimistic too. I'm not a doctor but I've seen some on TV.

Cletus Falls in Love.....season 4 Cletus catches the Dukes after a hot pursuit and Daisy turns on the charm to keep him from writing a ticket that would cause Bo to lose his driver's license. After Cletus agrees, Daisy kisses him and tells him she loves him. She just meant "love" to be friendly but Cletus misinterpets it to mean she loves him romantically and starts to do things like giving her flowers. In the meantime, Boss finds out that the state probation supervisor from Capitol City wants to investigate him so he decides to arrest the Duke boys to impress him. He alters a check signed by Bo to make it look like $1,100 instead of $11. After being thrown in jail the Dukes escape and Boss fires Cletus because he was careless and let it happen. Boss replaced Cletus with an off-duty Big Ed Little. Ed catches the Duke boys when they are trying to get the altered check and it's back in jail they go.....until morning when Cooter used his wrecker to pull the barred window off. After being chased by Big Ed, the Dukes catch up with Boss and Rosco who were on their way to Capitol City with the altered check. Everybody stopped and Rosco looked in the back seat and saw that Flash has opened his lunchbox that had the check inside and Flash had eaten it. Daisy explained to Cletus that she didn't love him in the way he thought she did and he got his job back after the Dukes threatened to sue Boss for false arrest if he didnt rehire him. In the end, Cletus had a big smile on his face because he was heading out on a date with a new love interest, Laverne, who was seen earlier in the episode looking at him with adoring eyes.

Try sticking a Dukes episode in the hour before you go to bed. It will take your mind off the real world. Hazzard County is the only world that makes sense anymore.
