Hazzard County Welcomes Jeff Gordon
RogerDuke replied to Garrett Duke's topic in Role Playing - Author Created Characters
The cloud of dust ahead of him got further ahead moments later. Rosco was frustrated. He got on the CB "Uh, Boss things aren't going so well. Did you bring your binoculars?" Lucky for Boss he had just finished the conversation with the mysterious person on CB channel 19 and had switched to channel 22 just in time. Boss responded "Of course I brought them....but I'm afraid to look. I reckon by your voice things aren't going so well." "Well, Boss, not exactly. Did you talk to the secret weapon yet?" Boss was furious "Rosco you idiot! You don't know who is listening to what channel. I think you must be smelling too many exhaust fumes from being in last place. I reckon those fumes are making you a little squirrely." Rosco sounded confused "Um, I'm so far back I'm not smelling any fumes and I'm not feeling squirrely. I was just asking about the Beaudrys....you know Pa, Milo and Sledge." Boss yelled so loud into the CB microphone people in the grandstands could hear him "ROSCO!" -
Thanks for all the updates Garrett. Go Junior!

Hazzard County Welcomes Jeff Gordon

After lining up the cars and with the crowd set in place Daisy sang the National anthem and handed the remote microphone to Boss. "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Hazzard County Fairgrounds for this historic race between three of the finest drivers to ever get behind a wheel. In the AARP Chevy Impala we have the most famous race car driver in the history of the world, Mr. Jeff Gordon! In the Hazzard County Plymouth Fury patrol car we have the baddest, meanest, most intimidating lawman in all the South, Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane." Then Boss's voice turned softer and not as enthusiastic. "And there's Bo Duke in the orange 01 Dodge Charger." Boss cleared his throat. "This race is going down State Route 7 and then turning off onto Mill Pond Road and taking the left fork through Old Swamp Road. From there it's the home stretch on Peach Tree Lane all the way back here to the finish line. From your high vantage point here at the Fairgrounds you'll be able to see much of the race right on the bleachers. Uh, it's a good thing lots of you folks brought your binoculars. We do have checkpoints at a few of the places that aren't so visible and our spotters there will be updating us through their CBs that will be wired up to these here loudspeakers. Gentlemen, start your engines!" Moments later Daisy waved the green flag and the competitors were off! Boss wandered over to his CB in the Cadillac. "Are you where you're supposed to be?" "Sure am" responded the sinister sounding deep voice. -

FAST FORWARD TWO DAYS LATER TO THE HAZZARD FAIRGROUNDS with pre-race festivities in full swing. Boss and Rosco had the hood of Enos's patrol car up in the air. People were scurrying around all over the place but most of the spectators had settled into their seats in the grandstands. Rosco "It's too bad I don't have my own car. I don't know why Cooter couldn't have fixed it in time." Boss snapped at him "That car's totaled Rosco. Besides, with this here new engine I had Cooter put in, this thing'll fly!" Rosco looked inquisitive "Boss, how did you convince Cooter to do this in just two days." Boss gave him a frustrated look "Rosco, you should know how I git things done in this county. I threatened to foreclose on Cooter's garage." Rosco smiled "Khee Khee! I'm gonna beat that Jeff Gordon feller and I'll be famous. And I'm going beat that Bo Duke and his orange clunker car too. You'll see Boss. I'm gonna make you and Mama and Lulu proud." Rosco looked over at the grandstands and waved to his two favorite fans. Lulu and Mama were munching on cotton candy. Lulu noticed him first and smiled and waved back. She then nudged Mama who did the same while a little piece of pink cotton candy stuck to her lower lip. Boss "Just look at that Jeff Gordon over there with his mechanic. I wonder what in the world they're talking about. Oh, lookie there Rosco, that dang blasted Bo Duke's heading over there to talk to him. I wonder what they're up to. Probably figuring out some way to cheat you out of your glorious win." Boss blew out a puff of cigar smoke and looked disgusted at the trio. -
factory (that reminds me of an episode of a Fat Albert Cartoon where Albert went to school and told everybody that his father was a professional boxer. Later his classmates found out that Albert's dad put stuff inside boxes at a factory)

Wow, it's been that long. The older you get the faster time goes. I sure miss Boss. I cried at the scene where Rosco did a tribute to Boss on the reunion movie. Thanks for posting this reminder Garrett.

Congratulations Garrett for signing up your tenth team owner. There's still two weeks to sign up folks but do it now. That flag will be dropping before you know it.

There's quite a few night scenes in seven seasons but only one scene in the whole series where you see stars but I don't think they're real. It's when the alien is going home at the end of "Strange Visitor To Hazzard" from season 7. (sorry, I know you were asking about the sixth season but I just thought I'd add this)

Dallas is coming on in ten minutes. I wonder if Ricky Ruud is going to be on again.

There was an awesome commercial during the Super Bowl that nearly had me in tears it was so emotional. Maybe some of you folks with computer skills can figure out how to post a link to it here. It was a tribute to farmers by the late great Paul Harvey (famous for radio's "The Rest of the Story") Not only that but it was advertising Dodge trucks....something that wasn't revealed until the last second of the long commercial. And us folks here on the HazzardNet sure love vehicles made by Dodge, especially a certain orange car.

I'm just glad the game's over because I didn't want either team to win. It was an amazing comeback attempt by the 49ers to only lose 34-31 after being down 28-6. As for me, I'm just happy that the 49ers have been denied the opportunity to sit atop the football world beside my Steelers with six Super Bowl wins.

The Ravens are leading 28-6 but I wouldn't count out the 49ers yet. The biggest concern for the niners is that their young quarterback may have bit off more than he can chew. He seems to be a little rattled but this delay might benefit him and give him time to get his head together. Still, he has his work cut out for him if he wants to win this game. It will be interesting to see what happens if it goes out again. I'm not sure if it's a factor or not but the stadium was built between 1971 and 1975. The electrical system might need updated. It's getting ready to start again after over a half hour.

Hey Brian, maybe you should start a RP and pretend you're a reporter for the Hazzard Gazzette. The economy crashing and recovering, then crashing and recovering again reminds me of the way cars crash and recover, crash and recover in Hazzard County. You could hone those skills on the RP and then apply them to our troubled economy. With your skills in the business world there would be three guys credited with the latest recovery, Ben Bernacke, Tim Geitner and yourself. It sounds like a sequel to Dukes of Hazzard. We'll call you Cooter of Wall Street. Politicians and corporations crash it, Cooter of Wall Street fixes it.
