Thanks RG. I enjoyed your post. And I like your "signature" "Growing old is mandatory....growing up is optional' It reminds me of the saying "You're only young once but you can be immature forever."

In the Super Bowl predictions.... Garrett has 49ers over Broncos. I have Falcons over Texans. Meadowmufn has Falcons VS Broncos None of us lost any of our picks over the weekend..... Of course all of these teams except the Texans had the weekend off because of byes so I had the only real win. (couldn't resist bragging) Congratulations to Meadowmufn for the Seahawks win.

You always amaze me with your ability to figure all this stuff out Hoss. Nice job as usual.

The people gathered around the ambulance included Boss, Rosco, Hughie, a fake doctor and nurse and two deputies with cars hidden behind the trees. Temporary Deputy Jeff MCCabe just pulled up in with his black GTO and got out. Upon seeing the action Boss yelled "Well don't just stand there Rosco, git after him." Rosco responded while watching Gordon drive away. "I sure will Boss. Jeff Gordon done went and run Zack Perkins off the road. What a pity. Zack spent three years rebuilding that Camero." Rosco pulled the fake cast off his leg. " I'm condminerin....I'm condemmering....I'm condemering your vehicle Jeff McCabe." Rosco then pulled the fake cast off his arm too and hopped in the souped up GTO. Boss quickly jumped in the passenger seat and MCabe hopped in the back. Everyone else hopped in their vehicles as well and moments later, the GTO, followed by two deputies in their cars and Hughie with his doctor and nurse in the ambulance behind them were flying down the road. Rosco was loving the power of the GTO. "Khee Khee, you sure got this old timer running sweet as sugar McCabe." Boss responded angrily. "That don't mean nothing you dodo bird. You're up against the best driver on this planet. His skills can make up the differnce so keep you hands on the wheel, the rubber on the road, your eyes on the prize and your puny little mind on what you're doing."

To update my last post. It's now official. The Seahawks have beaten the Redskins and advance to play the Falcons. I sure hope the Redskins' QB Robert Griffin III comes back at full strength next season after he heals. Hopefully he'll have the exciting career that everybody's expecting.

Thank you so much for putting this on the front page. I'm so excited!!! My wife's not a big Dukes fan but she's excited too because she loves movies like this!

The Colts and Vikings have been eliminated. The Colts lost to the Ravens 24-9. The Vikings lost to the Packers 24-10. The Broncos will play the Ravens next weekend. The 49ers will face the Packers. The Texans will face the Patriots. The Falcons will play the winner of the Seahawks/Redskins game which has 7 minutes left with the Seahawks leading 21-14 after trailing 0-14 early on.

Anytime I start to feel the pressure I always stand behind someone smarter than me for protection so I'll agree with this quote although I just thought of something. If "Arrest Jesse Duke" or "Twin Trouble" have an Abraham Lincoln mention, BL and I might be barking up the wrong tree. Any chance you can hold off on the answer Hoss to get BL's opinion?....or anyone else's for that matter.

Welcome to Hazzard County Matt. You sound like the kind of feller who's really going to love a place like this and we're sure happy to have you here.

Hmmm, I'm trying to think of which episode it was where the two bad guys had the masks that made them look like Bo and Luke. Do you know BL?

Not too far. They just got beat by the Texans 19-13. I feel bad for you. Well, not too bad. They made it further than my Steelers.

My wife has a General Hospital obsession so we have an agreement to put up with each others obsesssions. Although I have to admit I catch myself watching GH whenever Diane Benson is on it. (Bo's girlfriend from Carnival of Thrills) Anytime I see anything that has anything to do with the Dukes I get excited. Yep, that's the definition of obsession.

I'm already starting to make progress in curing my post Christmas blues. I deleted the Christmas shows off the DVR (I have the best ones on VHS in case of emergencies) Also, my wife's starting to put stuff away and so far it hasn't bummed me out. I'm still celebrating though. Last night we were out and I was sure loving all the lights still out. Also, I'm listening to Christmas music (Elvis) as I type this. A friend of mine celebrates Russian Crhristmas so I asked to be invited over this weekend. He accepted but we were both joking since I wouldn't intrude on his family celebration. He knows how much I get the blues this time of year because he's a lot like me. Go ahead and say it......I'm so pathetic!!!

If folks laugh at that they'll have to laugh at me too. I'm a Pittsburgh fan in all sports but the NBA where I like the Timberwolves. I do try to follow other teams though, although not very closely. In fact, I have a favorite team in each division. I like all the teams from Atlanta because of Hazzard County being near there. I'm the type of person who can't watch any type of sporting event without rooting fo someone. Sometimes I have to find the silliest, most meaningless reason to pick a team but the game is just too boring without rooting. You and MM will be happy to hear that the Seahawks and Bulls are my favorite teams in their divisions!

Rosco listened to Jeff Gordon then turned to Boss "Ya know Boss I'll let you deal with this dipstick. I'm gonna do as you say and git on over to that ambulance and let that fake doctor and his cute little nurse make it look like my neck and back's really hurt." Rosco caught some movement out of the corner of his eye then pointed to the oncoming vehicle "Hey, Boss, that's Jeff McCabe and that hot GTO of his with that supercharged customized V-8. Is he one of the fellers you done deputized?" Boss smiled "You bet. And if you'd open your eyes a little wider you'd see a few more of them hidden between the trees because my original plan was to meet Mr Aussler out here and I thought we'd need some protection." Rosco chuckled "Khee Khee. And I gotta hand it to you Boss. You had those boys on the CB believing you have deputies in town. That sure fooled them. I bet they're running like crazy right about now. Come to find out, all yer deputies are out here." With that Rosco walked over to the ambulance. Boss turned around to Jeff Gordon. "Ya see here Mr Gordon. The thing you ain't getting is that everybody in Hazzard County lives in a house or on a farm where I hold their mortgage....and they's the ones that sits on juries. Now they might be big fans of yours but they're even bigger fans of having a roof over their heads....." Boss was interrupted by Hughie wanting him to come over. As Boss walked over to the ambulance Jeff noticed that the keys were left in the sheriff car. He had been working behind his back to try and untie the ropes and now, with nobody looking he was able to wiggle his shoulders and upper arms more to make better progress at gaining his freedom.

It must have something to do with identical twins. Hopefully someone else can take my thought a little further.

TWO MINUTES GO BY BEFORE BOSS RESPONDS. "I figured you big city lawyers would hire some of these no account local boys to help you with this scam of yours Mr Aussler. I also figured you big city lawyers are a pretty arrogant bunch of fellers and you think us country folks are stupid so I'm here to prove you wrong. Last night I made some phone calls and have officially deputized a few good men. Some of my deputies are with me and some are in town there. At this very moment my sheriff is on his police walkie talkie activating the deputies who are in town and they should be there any moment. Now just in case I'm wrong....which I know I'm not....those deputies in town will take care of it and expose your scam and probably end us arresting Bo Duke and some of your henchmen for fraud and the services of me and my sheriff will not be required. In the meantime I suggest we continue on with the business at hand. And if I was you I'd keep your nose out of the county's business. It's not your job to enforce the law in a county you've never even been to before yesterday. IT IS your job to suck every penny you can out of your clients and stick it in your own pocket. That's what lawyers do best. My job is to find justice in Hazzard County and I have a sheriff laying here in an ambulance who is suffering greatly from the afteraffects of his accident. His doctor, who is also here will testify that sometimes back and neck issues can show up days after the impact. I really think it would be in Mr Gordon's best interest if you would bring a blank check out here and settle this whole thing. Then, you can be merrily on your way out of my county." Rosco quickly responded "Uh, Boss I ain't in no ambulance." Boss fired back "You will be in a minute Rosco. Now git on over there and have Hughie and his fake doctor and nurse fix you up."

I always end up singing Christmas songs in my head, even late into January because I just can't accept that it's over.

You should set a goal of beating me in fantasy NASCAR this year. (I'm just kidding. Goals should be realistic or you'll just be disappointed. If it's NOT really achievable it's defined as an elusive dream not a realistic goal)

That makes me think of the Rambo knife made by Jimmie Lile the Arkansas knifemaker. It cost about 700 bucks after the movie came out but is now worth ten times that.

Boss's jaw drops. His cigar falls out of his mouth onto his lap causing him to panic and throw it out the window before it damages his white pants. He turns to look at Rosco who is already looking at Boss. Boss "Did I just hear what I thought I just heard?" Rosco "Um, I think so. I'm not exactly sure what it was though." Boss thought for a moment. "I have to admit Rosco. I can't tell if Bo was serious or not. It could be a scam. He's a fairly decent actor you know. It was just last year that he pulled that Ebeneezer Scrooge scam on me with the ghost of Christmas. Woulda probably pulled it off if it weren't for Cooter interrupting." Rosco "I don't know nothing about no acting Boss but I gotta tell you, that sounded like the real thing. I think something's done went and gone haywire with Bo. He's done blown a gasket upstairs or something." Boss "Well, I just ain't believing it! I just ain't believing it! Bo Duke might be a lot of things but he ain't no killer! Just keep your mouth shut and let me run this show!" Boss took two deep breaths and keyed the microphone up "This is police commissioner Jefferson Davis Hogg calling Mr Aussler. Do you copy?" Rosco was irrited at his boss. "You just can't ignore something like that. You can't just pretend it didn't happen!" Boss snapped back "I'll do whatever I want Rosco. Now keep your mouth shut or I'll ignore signing your next paycheck....and the one after that."
