  1. Hey DukesLuvah, I see you're from L.A. Have you seen Hoss's thread "Hazzard Square"? If not, make sure you check out the first post from April 3 Have you visited the old town of Hazzard?
  2. Walrus (I'm pretty sure female walruses are called cows)
  3. I don't know but welcome to the HazzardNet!

  4. I don't like to pay too much attention to bloopers but I have to admit I can see why it's fun. My two favorites are when Daisy is talking to Jude Emery at the end and her mouth doesn't move. Also, on "Follow That Still" it's pretty funny when contraband cigarettes are flying out of the APC just before it hits the Boar's Nest even though everyone has already bailed out.
  5. Welcome to the HazzardNet!

  6. I got my six boards in the mail today and I love them! At first I was worried that when they arrived I'd be too sad about the farm being tore down to enjoy them but that wasn't the case at all. Fortunately we've had a couple years to emotionally prepare for the loss of the farm after NASH became a HazzardNet member and warned us it really couldn't be avoided. I've accepted the fact that the farm is history. I'm still saddened but there's nothing I can do about it and have no choice but to move on. Owning the boards is tremendously comforting. I hate traveling so I never got to see the farm but holding (and owning) something that is a piece of Dukes of Hazzard history is a very special feeling. I really can't describe it. Calling it spirutual isn't right because God is much more important than anything on this Earth but in a Dukes of Hazzard perspective, I guess I would descibe it as almost spiritual. After all, the farm in Georgia is where it all began. The Georgia episodes started something that has had a profound influence on my life. After God and family I can think of nothing else that has influenced my life more than the Dukes of Hazzard. More than three decades after those 5 historic episodes in the Georgia farmhouse, that's still true. Thanks so much to DoubleShot for originally making the story about the farm available on this thread. Thanks to Chuck Hewatt for giving us the opportunity to own a piece of history. For any of you still considering owning something, you can go back to the original post on this thread and then e-mail Chuck at hollis42@comcast.net. I'm not sure what's still available but time's running out. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. By the way, after corresponding with Chuck via e-mail I had no doubts about the authenticity of the boards but he sent 6 certificates that were notarized by a notary public from Walton County Georgia.....very professional! I'll value my treasures forever. I'm sure a lot of folks wouldn't be able to understand why....but that's one reason I love the HazzardNet so much...you folks get it!
  7. What a great idea for a project! Hoss's Hazzard Square information stuff is awesome. If you want to learn more about the County (and not town) go to the hobbies forum and scroll down to the map of Hazzard thread. There's a lot of information there including a list of all the episodes that had maps on them. I realize you're more interested in a town map but I just thought I'd let you know about this anyways.
  8. I actually thought about it but decided against it. I was wondering myself if it's been sold yet.
  9. You can't even take a picture of Roger Rabbit? (You can bet I got called Roger Rabbit a lot when that movie came out)
  10. With Enos in the passenger seat Rosco was kicking up dust heading northeast on Old Hickory Stump Road. Enos "So, what's yer plan Sheriff?" Rosco "I ain't got no plan you dipstick!" Enos "Uh, where we going then?" Rosco "I just figured maybe we'd drive around and we just might git lucky and bump into something" Seconds later Rosco went around a curve a little too wide and sideswiped a parked truck. The beat up old brown Ford F-150 had it's hood up with a skinny older man looking at the engine. Neither vehicle was hurt but Rosco was embarressed. Enos "It looks like you bumped into something Sheriff" Rosco "That's enough out of you, you looney tune. Now come help me out. I'm giving this feller a ticket fer illegal parking." Enos "But Sheriff he's broke down so it ain't hardly his fault. Besides that, you was going too fast around the curve and he has his four way flashers on." Rosco "Just hush Enos! Hush" Both lawmen got out of the car and approached the broke down truck. Rosco "Oh good grief. What are you doing here? This old jalopy's broke down again? I'm going to have to ticket you." The man responded.......
  11. I was watching TV 24 (ABC) local news tonight out of Erie Pennsylvania and saw a terribly tragic story. There was a fire near Erie PA and two men were unable to escape and were killed. Of course I wouldn't be reporting this tragedy here if there wasn't a Dukes connection. The camera was filming scenes of the remains of the home and one of the clips showed a room that had several shelves with toy and model cars. Some of the cars were melted and damaged but a few weren't. The car in the middle of the group was a General Lee. My heart goes out to the families of the victims.
  12. ROFL...Good one Hoss. Well there were people who died on the show but we never saw them....like Silas Hogg. There were also quite a few widows in Hazzard. Uncle Jesse lost his wife and the three younger Dukes lost six parents much earlier but all of this tragedy never inflicted much pain on the viewer. Seeing Rosco cry over Boss's picture did inflict pain...real pain because not only was Boss dead on the show but for real. After losing Lulu, Swamp Molly, Paul Baxley and the original Duke farm lately, it hurts to see parts of the show end forever but I am comforted in knowing that those loses can't take away the Hazzard County that will endure for generations....thanks to today's youth becoming fans.
  13. Your post had a lot of thought behind it and I appreciated it. I agree with you about the part where Rosco talking to Boss was emotional (not to mention unbelievable acting) but it is just too sad for me. That's one of the reasons I didn't like the show. I'm not sure where that Hazzard County is located but, in the Hazzard County I know, people we love don't die. Even people like Artie Bender and Henry Flatt are alive even though they appear to be dead. Once Boss thought he had a terminal illness but found out it was just an erroneous medical report. Once, the whole town of Hazzard thought that Bo and Luke drown after driving in a lake but they were actually fine. Boss and Jesse almost suffocated in the bank vault but they lived to tell about it. That's just how things are in the real Hazzard County. The Hazzard County of the reunion shows is not reality in my mind and I will never accept them. LONG LIVE HAZZARD COUNTY!! (and all it's residents)
  14. We're glad you found us too Bobby. Welcome to Hazzard County! You're going to love it here!
  15. Happy Birthday Coy! (Byron Cherry April 17) We'll meet ya at the Boar's Nest for a buttermilk!
  16. Welcome to the HazzardNet!

  17. Hoss's humour dwarfs that of anybody else's on the HazzardNet.
  18. Welcome to the HazzardNet!

  19. I checked my notebook and, sure enough, I'm wrong. Here's a hint to anyone else who wants to guess. The County name starts with a D.
