Now that's my kind of toy store!

I loved those last two sentences. I'm like that too!

Another of Boss's recently sworn in deputies, Clem Smethfield pulled up to the wrecked vehicles driving his black 1968 Cougar just before Aussler called Boss. Boss grabbed Clem's CB and looked to the sky in deep thought and then Hughie chimed in, "You're not going to give into him are you Uncle Boss? This is your county. Yours and yours alone. Don't let that feller act like he's calling all the shots." Boss would have none of his nephew's plea. "All right Aussler, I reckon we can work something out here. Me and my sheriff will meet you at the Duke Farm in an hour. You tell them Dukes to give us some space. I don't want them meddlin' in on official police business. And the same applies to you. Just you and that hot shot driver of yours better be there and NO ONE ELSE or the deal's off. Over and out." Hughie was disappointed. "Uncle Boss!" Boss wasted no time in responding, "Now you hush nephew. If you'd been through what I'd been through with that Gordon feller you'd be itchin' to give in a little yourself. I gotta admit I underestimated him. Trying to reel in Jeff Gordon is like hooking onto a barracuda when you were expecting a minnow on the line. I've gained a lot of respect for him." Rosco smiled "Khee Khee, does that mean you're gonna let my Mama meet him Boss?" Boss tilted his head "I suppose" Rosco smiled again. "Hey Boss, maybe Mama and me can come over to your house and we can watch Gordon's next race. You know my sister Lulu loves those races too. Khee Khee!" Boss shrugged his shoulders. "Just commandeer this nice Cougar and let's git to the Duke farm."

With only one or two people usually responding to trivia I fear that it may have run its course. Sadly, there just doesn't seem to be the interest in it that there used to be. Any suggestions to improve it will be welcome. With 3,486 posts and 175,000 views (a quarter million if you include the other trivia threads) it would be sad to see it end.

Finding it interesting isn't the problem. I think a lot of folks here already have a lot of stuff like this. Plus, other folks may want one of those items but don't want to buy the others with them. Someday you might get your passion back about the show and be sorry you sold that cool stuff. It doesn't take up a lot of storage space. Maybe you should hang on to them...unless you really need the money. We've all been there.

I'm excited! Four more days. It's going to be a blast seeing Mr Best on the TV screen in a new production!

It seems like that happens a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if the league tries to do something to stop it during the off season. Of course any rule they make will be controversial since this is a tough problem to solve. Maybe delay of game or unsportsmanlike conduct should have been called. I was thinking of you while watching this game MM. Actually I only saw the final quarter. I feel bad for you. That was a tough loss. The good news for you MM is that Seattle has a bright future according to a lot of experts.

In the meantime Hughie, driving his ambulance had fallen way behind. In desperation he decided to turn down an old moonshine trail in hopes of finding a shortcut. Moments later the trail ended at a road but Hughie was unable to stop in time at the intersection, blocking the road completely. He and his fake doctor and nurse got out and were eyeing up the stuck vehicle when they heard a vehicle speeding toward them from around the curve. Once the vehicle came into view Hughie yelled "It's Jeff Gordon in Rosco's car! Jump!" The trio jumped out of the way just before the car struck the ambulance with a horrendous crashing noise. Steam flew from the radiator, fenders crinkled and both front tires were flattened. Thankfully Jeff Gordon got out unhurt. Meanwhile, back at the other crash sight, another of Boss's deputies who had been following the GTO stopped in his copper colored Malibu. Boss, Rosco and Jeff McCabe hopped in quickly. Just before they sped off Rosco grinned at Sheriff Little "Khee, Khee I guess we're just going to be a little ahead of Little." Moments later Rosco had Jeff Gordon back in custody. Boss grinned "Nice work gentlemen." His grin quickly turned sour. "But this ambulance has the road all plugged up so we gotta go back to Old Spoke Road. I don't think we're going to be able to get out before they get here."

You're living in a fantasy world. You need to get more in touch with reality. Jeff Gordon IS NOT REAL. He's simply an actor who plays a NASCAR driver on TV. The Duke family IS REAL. They live in Hazzard County Georgia and the nearest big city to them is Atlanta so they'll be rooting for the Falcons.....and so should you!

Sorry about your Seahawks loss Meadowmufn. Seahawks-28 Falcons-30 in a thriller Patriots-41 Texans- 28 The winner of the Ravens / Patriots game will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. The winner of the Falcons / 49ers game will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

I'm going to guess bakery just because I'm hungry right now.

Well Garrett I'm all signed up for your NASCAR league. I'm pretty competitive in fantasy sports but I'm getting the feeling of impending doom.....you know, the kind of feeling you get when you're tied to the railroad tracks and a train is coming around the corner and the engineer isn't paying attention because he's playing Angry Birds on his smart phone. I just get the feeling this isn't going to end well for me.

You have my deepest sympathies CD. Your post certainly is a sad one. Nothing really heals in these situations quite like time so don't expect to feel better overnight but it will happen eventually. For now, continue to take time to mourn and support your friends. RIP Orlaith. *hugs*

The 49ers just beat the Packers 45-31. They will play the winner of the Falcons / Seahawks game. As Garrett reported the Ravens beat the Broncos (38-35 in OT). They will play the winner of the Texans / Patriots game. Meadowmufn and Garrett both lost the Broncos today (Sat). Hopefully both my teams (Falcons and Texans) will survive tomorrow (Sun)

Boss was furious that Jeff Gordon was pulling even further away. He took Rosco's hat off and hit him with it then threw the hat in the back seat of the GTO right beside the car's owner Jeff McCabe. "Rosco, you're as slow as a snail in cold molasses. You're driving the fastest car in the county and he's still pulling ahead." Rosco responded, "You said it yourself Boss. He's the best driver on the planet. Besides the General Lee is the fastest car in the county, not this one." Rosco paused a second "Khee Khee but this one ain't no slouch." McCabe noticed Gordon turn off. "Hey, he's heading down Old Spoke Road. That means he's heading straight for Axle Intersection." Boss, "What are you talking about McCabe. What's Axle Intersection?" McCabe responded, his head bobbing around from the bumps. "Me and my hunting buddies all call it Axle Intersection because when you're up on the peak of Moonshine Mountain looking down, all those roads come together in the same spot just like spokes on a wheel come together at the center, right at the axle." Rosco added "That's a dangerous intersection Boss. I hope nobody's coming from any of the other roads. I wouldn't be surprised if those fellers in town are coming this way after hearing all this radio chatter."

I always get nervous when somone as smart as BL disagrees with me.

Speaking of birds it looks like the Falcons are going to be beating the Seahawks this weekend. (sorry James, sometimes competition just spills over to other threads around here)

I'm going to say Boss Hogg
