  1. And they have a wedding like Emery Potter and Mabel Wooster.
  2. Thanks for informing us DoubleShot. We've had some tough news lately with the passing of Lulu, Swamp Molly and Paul Baxley. Now we're losing the original Duke farm. I know that's not as tragic as losing a precious human life but....sentimental guy that I am....it saddens me deeply. Of course it's expected. We've been talking about it for awhile now. I'm happy for the opportunity to buy a piece of history. It sounds like a legitimate offer but it would be nice if Mr Hewatt could post pictures here on the HazzardNet to reassure us. Better yet, it would be awesome if Nash would log on again. He's the grandson of the man who owns the old farmhouse. Like I said, we've sure had our share of bad news here lately. But, we're family here. We have to take the bad with the good.....and there's sure a lot of good when it comes to the greatest TV show in history and the best website on the internet!
  3. politics (over here the words Tea Party have taken on a different....but similiar..... meaning the last two years)
  4. Welcome to the HazzardNet!

  5. Now there's a danger of the wind blowing radioactivity to Tokyo. It normally doesn't blow that direction but it shifted for a little while yesterday. If the radiation levels increase to the levels that are feared and the wind blows it toward Tokyo, it would be catastrophic. A lot of people are already fleeing Tokyo, but of course a lot of others have nowhere to go. A big fear for us is that all the reactors could melt and the radioactivity could spread around the globe. I know it would be dissapated once it got here but I wonder about it getting in our rain eventually. (BTW, I'm not going to be posting any more updates on this issue. I will update everybody if I hear more about my friend's family though. This whole thing depresses me and I like to come here to get away from all the troubles of the world)
  6. After sitting in his patrol car overlooking the Mud Flats, Rosco started it up and drove away. He was depressed at his predicament. How in the world did Boss expect him to come up with a moneymaking sceme? Boss should have known that Rosco wasn't capable of coming up with a sceme that actually had any chance of working. He wondered if Boss really didn't expect him to. Rosco wondered if Boss just told him to come up with a way to make money, knowing he wouldn't be able to. He concluded that Boss was just trying to make a point and the best thing he should do is go apologize to Boss for wrecking so many cars. Rosco was so focused on getting back to the Boar's Nest to see Boss, he wasn't paying attention to the road. He arrived at the fork where Old Post Road meets Sycamore Lane. Unable to see because of the gumbushes blocking his view, Rosco went through the Y and sideswiped another vehicle. Unluckily for Rosco, he hadn't yielded the right of way like he should have according to the yield sign. The vehicle he hit pulled over and Rosco parked behind him with his roof lights flashing. Both vehicles were heavily damaged....Rosco's on the passenger side and the other vehicle's on the drivers side. The other driver remained in his seat as Rosco walked up to the open window on the driver's side.
  7. Watching the footage tonight is heart-breaking. I just hope it doesn't get worse with this problem with the reactors. Things aren't looking good right at the moment. I see they just adjusted the size of the quake to a 9.0 We haven't heard from our friend in Japan since the quake hit. We have heard that his family's entire town is completely gone so there's a chance he might have lost everybody.
  8. Nice job with your research Hoss. I never knew all that. Boss Hogg was also born in 1926. This is revealed when his twin brother's drivers license is shown on "Baa Baa White Sheep". I'm not sure what year Sorrell Booke was born though.
  9. I can't think of the name of the band even though I just saw it two weeks ago. I'll kick myself when I hear the answer. Thanks for posting that picture MaryAnne. What an amazing coincidence that there just happens to be an old white Ford pick-up in it. That truck's the only part of the picture I like. It's nice to know some things never change....maybe I should say, it's nice to know one thing hasn't changed.
  10. Angry with Boss, Rosco drove his patrol car past the the Hazzard Fairgrounds. He continued kicking up dust on Old Post Road until he arrived at the Mud Flats. He pulled into a beat up driveway overlooking the swampy valley and put his car in park. Flash slept on the front passenger seat the whole trip but briefly looked up at Rosco before falling back asleep. Rosco always came here whenever he needed to think. Things hadn't been going too well for Rosco lately. His Mama had just received notice from Doc Appleby that she was diabetic. A recent storm had blown a branch onto the roof of his house where he lived with his Mama and did about 500 dollars worth of damage that still wasn't fixed, the CB in his living room had a short in it and now he had Boss breathing down his neck complaining about money. Rosco sat in the patrol car at his favorite spot contemplating his next move in life. He wondered if he should just resign as sheriff and take a job restocking the shelves at Rhuebottom's store. He didn't have a clue how to come up with a moneymaking sceme but it was increasingly clear that if he didn't, his days working for Boss Hogg could be numbered.
  11. I'm very concerned about this nuclear power plant meltdown. Since I'm from Pennsylvania I remember all too well how scarey 3 Mile Island was. It didn't turn out to be as bad as it could have but this incident in Japan is a whole different matter. God is in control. I know it doesn't always seems like it, but things happen for a reason. All we can really do is make sure we're on His side. I'll let everybody knows as soon as I hear news about my friend's family.
  12. Welcome to the HazzardNet!

  13. Thank you so much for this information Phyllis.
  14. This is difficult for me to watch because I know somebody from Tokyo. His family (mother, uncles, aunts, neices and nephews) live in one of the small towns at sea level that were in the worst hit area and he hasn't been able to get ahold of any of them. He was a college student over here and moved back to Japan a couple years ago.
  15. Welcome to Hazzard County muddyk. Thank you so much for serving your country. I'm also from Pennsylvania.....in Erie County by the Ohio line. Please keep us posted about your service. We'd like to know how you're doing. Maybe you could start a thread on what life is like there.....although I'm sure you're not permitted to reveal much information....it would be nice to keep updated on how you are. There's a lot of patriotic folks here on the HazzardNet and we want you to know we care about you.
  16. Rosco looked confused "Uh, what do ya mean "change" Boss? I mean, you tried giving me and Enos 3-wheelers and that didn't go so good. Then you tried giving us horses and that didn't go too good either. And you know I ain't good with bicycles. Done went right in the puddle last time I was on one of them...besides, I ain't gonna be able to catch the General Lee on a bicycle." Boss pounded his fist on his desk "I ain't talking about no bicycles you ninny. I'm talking about changing the condition of the budget....I'm talking about making money. All Lulu knows how to do is spend it and all you know how to do is charge me for repair bills. Somebody around here has to figure out how to make it." Boss continued his loud rant as his cigar filled the room with smoke. "For once Rosco, you come up with an idea. And it'd better be a good one....one that will make enough that it'll pay for the last three cars you wrecked. And if you don't come up with a scheme to make money, you'll be the next rent-a-cop at Shorty's All-Nite Rib Shack and Pool Hall on Frontage Road!!" Alarmed, Rosco put on his buttermilk stained hat and walked toward the door to the bar room. Before he opened the door, he changed his mind and walked to the opposite side of Boss's office and continued out the door to the sunny outside. He hopped in his sheriff's car and drove away.
