Garrett Duke

*Bo hangs up the phone and slowly gets up from his seat, dreading what Luke had told him. What was he suppose to do to help calm Jesse's worries and to help Swamp Molly? Luke was the brains between the two of them. Bo's pride may not allow him to swallow the fact that Luke is smarter and better at a lot of things than he is. But deep down, reality sinks heavily within him. Luke is the one that thinks his way out of the trouble they find themselves in, the one that sees everything as it is and finds a way around their trouble. Bo only sees the problem itself, seemingly blind to any way out of the trouble. Yet he is suppose to help Swamp Molly. How?* Damn it Luke * He cusses aloud in frustration as he makes his way to the window to find Jesse outside talking to his old friend, Andrew. Upon seeing the worried and fear filled looks upon Jesse's and Andrew's faces, only draws Bo's curiosity out as to what they are talking about. *

Well the door opened in "Days of Shine and Roses" or something like that. I am too lazy to look it up, but I figured you'd know which one I am talking about if I put the title wrong. But LOL...that was a funny story. Was wondering why you were trying to open the doors...I'd be upset if I got a General and the doors opened. Glad that your doors didn't open, though is very ironic that your non Duke loving wife would be the one to point that out though.

You are very welcome. I enjoy posting and writing about the races! I am a huge NASCAR fan who barely misses a race...though have missed a few here and there. Been a fan for about thirteen years now, though didn't get hooked into watching it as much as I do until six or so years ago when I finally got to understanding the sport more. Though I wouldn't know if I am a bigger fan or not. . . My all time favorite NASCAR driver is Jeff Gordon! I finally met another Jeff Gordon fan! My second favorite is Jimmie Johnson since Gordon owns half of his car. Richard Petty is an awesome driver, but never really watched him other than in highlights and videos and all that. GO GORDON GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rosco is the sheriff of Hazzard County.

Sadly, I never saw that before. I am very glad you brought it up Jami Lee and that BoLukeDuke found it! That was very interesting...things sure look different! Hazzard even has a stop light! KHEE!

Luke clears his throat on the other end of the phone to gather Bo's attention back to the phone. "Well things are a little more complicated here than we had expected. She is more sick than what they had let knwon to us over the phone. The farm is really ran down since she has been sick for a while now. The farm was definate uncared for for a while now. There is a lot of work to be done to get the farm back into proper shape. So I plan on doing that with a few locals here in town that has volunteered to help out. Daisy and a few woman are taking care of our aunt and see if they can get her back into health while we work on the farm." *Luke goes silent for a long moment.* "I'm afraid it'll be a few more days than what we had been expecting. Just thought I'd call home to see what we're missing and how's it going?" "We're doing alright," Bo shrugs to himself, "things are slowly getting done. Though Swamp Molly and Alice have been by acting weird. Jesse's been out in the swamp today. He says they were acting really weird and yet won't even say a word of what is going on. Heck, Alice refused to even talk to me when I met them at the Boar's Nest this afternoon. No talk of wrastling or anything. I am not complaining about that, but Jesse's really worried about them."* "Well if Alice didn't ask you to wrastle, something is definately wrong," Luke goes silent in thought for a long moment and silence fills the room and Bo momentarily wonders where Jesse is. "I wish I was there to help out. But, I'm not. You know what that means?" Luke goes silent, awaiting for an answer. Not getting one, he continues, "That means it is up to you help Alice and Molly. I know how you feel about Alice and Molly, but they're family. You know Jesse is bound to need to do something to find out what is wrong and to help them. That's just how he is. That means, you need to step up and do something to help Alice and Molly out with whatever it is that is wrong. It's all up to you, Bo." *Sharp emotions ring through Bo with Luke's bold speech. First they got into their big fight, then Luke and Daisy left Hazzard to help out their aunt, and now he's telling him to step up and take charge. To do something. As if Bo would know what to do to help Alice and Molly, especially when they won't even talk to him. Not alone tell him what is wrong. But instead of voicing his opinion, his emotions, he hears himself say. *"Like what, Luke?" "I don't know, Bo. It'll be up to you, not me this time." He gives a short and sarcastic laugh, "Look, I'm getting called. I got to go. Tell Jesse I said hi. Bye Bo." "Yeah, bye Luke," Bo nods before he hears the phone go dead on the other end of the line.*

Apology accepted. Sorry I didn't save some for you...

The Ghost of General Lee is one of my all time favorite Duke episodes! I love all the emotions that they put in that episode. I have to say I prefer the episodes in Georgia over the ones in California. Too bad they all weren't in Georgia. I agree, they seem more authetic.

You seem to know your way around Utube with all these videos. LOL. Poor kid though...if he was a pro player, then, shouldn't he have enough money to buy a bag of chips of his own? LOL. Sorry couldn't help myself pointing that out.

Dukes don't fight Dukes? Well please let Roger know that...think he forgot that rule of thumb. But thanks for taking the heat off of me, Hoss. Hopefully with time everyone will forget about your accusations of what I supposedly did. Well Roger...how was your hardened fruit? Bet that was tastey.

Don't know what you mean by BBC America? Your commercials you listed from Utube above were interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing.

Well, Roger, once again, I'll give you the little credit you are deserved. I may watch way too much NASCAR (I don't see this as a problem. Do you? ) and some of those guys do wreck and blame everyone else for it. But on account that those drivers bug me when they can't take responsibility for their own actions and guilt, I am a hundred percent that they didn't rub off on me. In fact, it insults me that you would stoop so low as to compare me to them! What have I ever done to you to deserve that? Or what have I done to deserve to be labeled as someone with a criminal element? Sweet innocent ol' Rosco, as you call him, may have been doing his job, but if so, he needs to get his eyes checked. Think it should be you he should be after, not I. Perhaps he could charge you with speeding on account of how many posts you already have...especially compared with innocent ol' me. Me? A bad person? Your insults just keep getting worse and worse the more you go on. I think you should stop while you can and before it's too late! That hen did it herself. Not that I didn't feel bad. I did. In fact, I made sure to put the poor bird to good use as so she wouldn't have had to die in vain and all. I took her over to orphanage and grilled her so all them kids would have a bite to eat. Didn't hear any of them complaining...Perhaps you should get all your information correct before you go and labeling a person, such as I, like you did. Me, a bad person? Perhaps not a great person, but highly doubt I'm a bad person either.

Hoss - thanks for posting the links. I just watched the Coke Vs Pepsi commericial and the Pepsi Max and Coke Zero must have originated from that one. Same idea and everything.

They show that Pepsi Max one I think several times throughout the races and everytime I have to sit down and watch it and still find it hilarious! Glad I'm not the only one, I think them going out through the window tops it all off! The ESPN NASCAR hauler one is great and ironic. Ironic being that they first aired that one during a Nationwide Series race. Well those two drivers, Edwards and Keselowski, have a history of not getting along with each other. Well in that race they aired that commericial, Keselowski bumped Edwards on the final lap and Edwards paid him back by spinning him out for the win. So it being those two drivers in the commerical...or rather their haulers and their drivers, kinda even make it even more great than it already is. I love Smokey and the Bandit and y'all know how much I love NASCAR, you put those two together it has to be great. The only way they could do it greater is if it was the Dukes and NASCAR. Hoss - it is interesting to hear about the different advertising laws and all that that you have over there than we do here. I can see the whole rival thing being an issue and not using a rival product during the commercials...I feel like they should do that here. Though, in that commercial with Pepsi Max and Coke Zero, I don't think a generic would have worked or made it as hilarious as it was. At least not to me. Also glad to hear I am not the only one with this idea for a thread, the Pepsi Max commercial just got over when I started this thread and that was what gave me the idea. Didn't know if everyoune would think it to be stupid or what, but thought I'd give it a try.

*Bo eyes Jesse worriedly for a long moment before the phone continues to ring and he slowly walks out of the kitchen and into the living room to answer the phone. Picking up the receiver, Bo says, "Duke residents. This is Bo." *Bo hears someone clear his voice on the other end before raw silence comes back at him and for a moment, Bo thinks it must be a prank caller. When he goes to hang up a familiar male voice cuts through the silence by saying,* "Hi Bo," the caller goes silent as excitement races through Bo as he instantly recognizes the voice. "I see the phone is still in working order there, so I reckon the old farm is holding up without Daisy and I being there to help out." *Bo finds himself nodding before realizing that Luke can't see him.* "Luke!" Bo goes silent as he attempts to adjust his excitement only for him to remember how Luke had left. Angry and upset at him. Taking a deep breath, he says, "It seems like you've been gone forever now, but yeah, the farm is still up and running without the two of you. When you coming home?" *Bo looks up and at the open kitchen doorway, expecting Jesse to walk out in excitement over hearing Bo say Luke's name so loudly, yet no one comes. Only to make him a little more worried over how worried Jesse is over Alice and Molly. Looking away from the doorway, he sits down upon the desk chair to give Luke his full attention and to attempt to shove his worry away.*

Well I agree with the first part there, Roger...I'd be here forever trying to unscramble the letters. If I watched more episodes perhaps I'd be better at it, plus have the time to sit and write it all out and go through all the letters. So far, I haven't done such a great job at it. But I think your ears aren't working either, Roger, that wasn't my fault. It was all Rosco! If he didn't falsely accuse me and tried arresting me, I'd never have ran to begin with! The dang animal just ran under my feet!

That is good news to hear about The Geneal Lees not being wasted like that. It is fun to watch, but never really thought of them ruining good cars like that. It'd be a shame to ruin a good General Lee or one that could be restored. I am sorry to hear that your show got cancelled or rained out! I get disappointed and frustrated when a race gets rained out, I can only imagine how you feel! Glad you got to meet new people. It is exciting to hear that you got to join Ray's team! Am very happy for you, he couldn't have chosen anyone better!

You are welcome. I am glad to be able to fill you in on all that you missed! And you are right...it does give me time to watch NASCAR related Dukes or any Dukes episode. Am sure the drivers will enjoy the week off after the emotion packed race of Bristol. Well, am glad to see I am not the only one noticing that the driver that starts the accidents drive away with minimal damage while the other car suffers greatly. Just frustrating, especially when it happens to a favorite driver or to one that I like. It just makes me wonder why that is or how that happens that way. I know with the rear spoiler, drivers can move another driver if they get close enough to the rear spoiler of the other car and that can cause accidents. But even like Johnson's accident today with Montoya running into the back, Montoya had tire issues from it, but even that worked itself out. Sorry you missed the race, Roger. Hope you can catch the next one...two weeks away. As always, am glad to give you or anyone the race report. I look forward to doing it. Don't know what I'm going to do after Homestead when the season finishes.
