  1. Exactly how I feel! It was the worst.
  2. I totally agree. Though I didn't watch it until it was a rerun in the late 90s sometime. I don't think I've seen it since then. I do love the other cast, but it's not the same without Bo and Luke. And no one other than Bo and Luke should be driving the General Lee. LOL. I feel like that is how it goes in a lot of places where everyone tells the higher ups how it shouldn't be and then they don't listen, and it lands it their faces. Sad it happens like that. At least it onl.y lasted a season and Bo and Luke returned. Though if we are going to question the writer's abilities here...what about "Strange Visitor in Hazzard"? That is one Bo and Luke episode I can't do or will ever understand. LOL
  3. I think I've only watched that season once and that was enough. It wasn't the actors' fault...if they got characters that weren't suppose to resemble Bo and Luke and try to have them act like them...but had cousins who were their own person with their own characteristics and looks, it probably would have been easier to accept. Still not Bo and Luke, but better than trying to copy them as if fans wouldn't know the difference. Sad for the actors who were placed in that role...but I also felt they didn't do that well of a job either as they always seemed to be reading off their lines. But they did what they had to do to get through it. It was definitely a great breath of fresh air when Bo and Luke returned from the circuit.
  4. Garrett eyes the parking lot of the Boar's Nest as Roy turns into the parking lot and drives through it for a long moment before finding a parking spot by the door. As Roy throws the truck into park, Garrett states, "There's no ugly orange car in the parking lot." "So?" Roy questions as he yanks the keys out of the ignition and throws the door open. "Well," Garrett states, staring ahead at the old building before looking at Roy, "no ugly orange car normally means no Bo or Luke. Which means, no Bill or Ernie." "So? Since when you care about them?" Roy questions as he steps out, "It'll leave more beer for the two of us." Garrett rolls his hard eyes at him and shakes his head in frustration. "We're not here for the beer, you bird brain!" he snaps as he eyes the parking lot once again. "We're not?" Roy gives a pouting and disappointing face and Garrett lets out air in frustration. "OK fine. Are you coming? Maybe they're parked out back or maybe Cooter had to tow it away." Garrett shakes his head before he reluctantly opens the door and steps out as he watches people walking into the bar. "What are we going to do if they are here?" Roy asks as he as walks up to him, "What are you going to do when the law crashes the party? I mean you aren't exactly friends with them either." Garrett eyes him coldly for a moment. "We will warn Bill and Ernie," with that Hogg's white convertible comes driving into the parking lot, followed by Rosco's patrol car. "Let's go." With that, they quickly walk to the door and walk in before the law could find them. The noise of the crowded bar echoes loudly as Garrett and Roy slowly walk between customers, glancing around the bar. "I don't see them," Roy shouts in Garrett's ear, "Where are they?" Garrett eyes him for a long moment before Rosco dramatically throws open the door and shoots into the ceiling and everyone goes silent. "Freeze!" Rosco yells as everyone glares over at him, "Everyone freeze and hush your lips. We are on official business." He walks in and followed by Commissioner Hogg as they get to Garrett, Rosco purposefully runs into him, making him fall to his knees. He quickly stands up and rushes to get to him, only for Roy to quickly hold him back. "You too, Duke! Khee khee!" Rosco yells at him, eyeing the bar before back at Garrett, "Where are they?!" "Where is who?" Garrett stares blankly at Rosco as he shoves Roy off of him and Hogg stops besides Rosco. "Don't play dumb with us, boy!" Hogg shouts at him, pointing his lit cigar in his face. "Um Boss," Rosco states, "he ain't playing, on account, he is dumb!" Garrett shakes his head as patrons of the bar stare at them, anticipating a fight. "Very true, Rosco," Boss states before looking at Garrett, "let me rephrase my sheriff's question in a way you will better understand it." He hisses, blowing smoke into Garrett's face. "Where's that fancy race car friend and his mechanic? Where's your ugly brother and your cousin...you know, Bo and Luke Duke?" "Yeah. Them!" Rosco nods, waving a finger into Garrett's face and he quickly swats it away and Rosco glares angrily at him as he goes for his handcuffs, "I'll cuff and scuff you for assaulting an officer once again, Garrett Duke!" "Rosco! We aren't here for this loser. We are on official business. Now Garrett Duke, " Hogg glares at Garrett, "if you want to leave here a free man, you will be telling me where everyone's at." Garrett gives them a cold smile. "I wouldn't tell you," he finally states, "even if I knew where they were at." "You expect us to believe that you don't know where they are at?" Hogg asks angrily, "I wasn't born yesterday. Where are they?" "We just got here, Boss," Roy finally speaks up, "we don't know where they are. Honest." Boss and Rosco both look angrily at him. "No one asked you," Rosco spits at him, "this is between your criminal friend and us." "Well," Roy sputters, "I'm just trying to be helpful. Since y'all don't seem to believe him." "There's nothing to believe. He lies all the time," Boss snaps at him, "now if you know what's best you'd get back in that truck and get back to wherever it is you came from." Roy looks at Garrett and them. "I'll be fine. Go," Garrett nods at Roy to listen to the law, not wanting to get him in any trouble he may be in. Roy eyes him questionably for a moment and Garrett once again nods at the door for him to leave and he slowly backs away and walks outside. "We'll ask you one more time, Duke," Rosco finally states after Roy disappears, "where are they?" Garrett gives a frustrated smile. "I told you. Roy told you. I'll tell you again. I. Don't. Know," he states as he grabs a cigarette out of his pocket and lights it, blowing smoke back into their faces, "but all this is getting us nowhere, now, is it?" Rosco eyes Boss who shrugs and nods. "OK Duke. You are under arrest for assaulting an officer. Namely me. And for not cooperating with the law," he takes out his handcuffs, "I'll need you to put out that nasty thing." Garrett eyes them both coldly and looks around for an escape, but with everyone circling around them, he finds none. Shrugging, he takes a step over to a table and stabs out is cigarette into an ash tray and puts his hands up as if he is about to cooperating, before turning abruptly around and runs to the door in hopes of the people moving out of his way, which they do. Once past the people he runs back outside and into the parking lot and jumps into the bushes as Rosco runs out, looking both ways before Deputy Enos and Cletus pull up and block his way. Garrett watches as they discuss stuff at the car, before they park their car and Rosco eyes the parking lot once more and steps in side.
  5. He broke his leg in a snowboarding accident in Colorado right before the season started last year. Hopefully he is not snowboarding or skiing right now... LOL.
  6. It wasn't huh? What else is it you woulda thought? Or do I want to know? LOL
  7. That would be nice if they could catch up with Red Bull. Unless it's your team winning, it gets tiring watching the other teams winning all the time; especially the same teams. I guess I will stop complaining as we start eleven days earlier than you. It just seems forever away. Though I wish we could just skip through February and get to March. January and February are always my longest, coldest, and hardest months. LOL. Plus still...no baseball. Unless you are pitchers and catchers who meet up mid February. As for no delays...that's kind of nice. In NASCAR, they sit around and talk about anything and everything before they finally cancel anyways. Or like Tony Stewart said once, "They talk to anyone with legs" LOL. Ol' Smoke never was shy of telling it how he sees it. I just hope Chase Elliott will have a better season than he did last year. He had surgery on his shoulder after the season ended and is going through PT, so hopefully he will be healed and ready to go by February 18th. He says he will be. Better than last year where he broke his leg and had to be out the first six races of the season...then later got benched a race for fighting or something like that. Right now, I'll just take a win...as he didn't even have that last season.
  8. Garrett Duke was in mid repair of his car, when he heard Cooter's CB on the counter begin to squawk. At first he ignored it, assuming it wouldn't pertain to him until he heard something about the Boar's Nest. Knowing everyone was there, he slowly stands up, wiping his grease stained hands upon his faded denim jeans. Listening to Rosco's comment about framing Bill, makes anger rush rapidly within Garrett. Looking at his car, he now feels helpless and stranded until he thinks of his neighbor. Glancing around the dark garage, he spots Cooter's phone and he rushes over there and dial's the only phone number he knows in Hazzard. After three rings, the familiar voice shouts out, "Yo! You got Roy. What can I do for ya?" Garrett eyes the sheriff's station through the open door and moves deeper into the shadows as he sees Rosco quickly tip toeing to his car. Hearing Roy breathe impatiently on the other end, brings him back to where he was. "Yo Roy," Garrett states with a smirk, "you answer you phone like that to everyone? What if I were the law?" "I'd hang up on you," he quickly responds, "but you are the only friend I got, so I did a process of elimination." Garrett grunts. "I doubt I'm your only friend," Garrett resorts, "I saw Nile and Ramon over there a few nights ago at your party." "OK fine," Roy pouts, "I was trying to be nice. You are the only friend I got who calls when they need help and words gone around that you've been in knee deep in trouble with the law lately. I'm sure that wreck at the race took a deep blow to your ego. It was only time before you come calling begging for my help." Garrett rolls his eyes as he lights a cigarette as Rosco drives away, his tires squealing. "I don't beg," he dryly states, "I just know I can trust you." "And you can," Roy states and Garrett envisions him sitting on his holey and well-worn brown ugly couch, with his boots up on his wooden coffee table, with a huge smirk on his face. "What can I do for you? You in jail? Need more bail money? I'm your man. Lucky for you, I got paid yesterday." Garrett rolls his eyes. "It's not like that. I just need a ride," he finally states, "I'm at Cooter's Garage with my car and I need a lift to the Boar's Nest." "Ah you heard that too," Roy states on the other end, "Say no more. I'm on my way." With that, Garrett hangs up and smashes his cigarette out before walking to the end of the garage to wait for Roy. A couple of long moments pass before Roy's rusted out yellow Chevy truck pulls in. Garrett quickly climbs in, looks at Roy, and states, "Thanks for the ride. Let's go."
  9. Dang it...I didn't even think of watching it. That would have been a great idea. Glad you were able to enjoy, Boss.
  10. Dannnnnggggg you're lucky . . . I wish NASCAR would get the hint. They probably would start earlier if it wasn't for the dang football season and not wanting to compete. Back in the Richard Petty day they raced pretty much year round. Which is why no one will be able to reach his win record. Must mean I was born in the wrong year... LOL
  11. Let's move on from my admission...LOL. I kinda liked it better before I had "came out" as a Hobie put it. HA. Anyway...for some REAL NASCAR news. Y'all mark your calendars! On February 4th (next Sunday) is the NASCAR Busch Light Clash in Las Angeles at the Coliseum! There will be a heat race next Saturday to signify who will be in and where they start, it looks like. It may not be a points race...but it's a race! Right now...I'd take anything! HA 2024 Busch Light Clash format unveiled | NASCAR 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Schedule, Race Results | Dates, Times
  12. I only said that, because I said I picked Jeff Gordon out of a top sexiest man magazine and that his looks is what first got me. I didn't want everyone thinking Garrett was attracted to Gordon's looks. Otherwise y'all would still be in the dark. HA.
  13. Thank you so much Hobie. You guys are the best!
  14. Um...have you seen Bo Duke? LOL. Actually I watched it as a kid and enjoyed it. Had a hard time understanding why it wasn't on TV anymore. Then when it came back on TV, I was a big CHiPs fan at the time and seen each episode several times, so I abandoned Ponch and Jon and went to Bo and Luke. I remember being appreciative of hearing of their friendship off the screen as well as on. Erik Estrada (Ponch) and Larry Wilcox (Jon) didn't get along in real life and was kinda disappointed when I heard that. LOL. And then that led to NASCAR and Jeff Gordon. HA. I'm not a normal girl. LOL I was more into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles than I ever was in Barbie and am a huge sports fan.
  15. Roger, you totally made my day....my year. I didn't even realize it was my anniversary. I am so blessed to get to know you and others on this great platform. As much as I love the Dukes, it's all of y'all that brings me back and keeps me coming back. I love you and everyone on here. Thank you so much. Time does fly when you are having fun. Sadly that also makes me older. HA. Thank you so much, Roger, for this post. <3
  16. Thank you, Roger, for your time and service for our country. You are amazing. Uncle Jesse would be very proud of you.
  17. Garrett Duke is my created fan-fic character and who I normally go by on here. I just didn't want to imply he likes Gordon based on his looks as it had started for me, Garrett's author.
  18. I do believe I mentioned it to you before, but I can't remember if it was a PM or on a thread, either. It is sad to see friends on here leave; I have several. It is sad. I am honored to have known you, Roger, and had have the opportunity to be friends on here with you for those years.
  19. I was going to say please don't kick me out...LOL. I'm still the same I was before I admitted to it. I wouldn't have admitted to it...but thought it'd come off wrong if I didn't admit to it. LOL...and Garrett would never forgive me. HA.
  20. You all crack me up. Jeff Gordon is 52 years old and started racing go karts when he was five...so I guess it's possible he's been winning for 45 years. Though he's been retired (I'm still depressed about that...) for some time. So I do believe Miz Tisdale has him beat on that front. But has she won 98 NASCAR series races? Four championships? (It'd be six or seven if they didn't change the racing format and implemented the Chase play off system...you better not get me started on that. We could be here all night...LOL. Ironically, Jeff Gordon won all his championships under the original point system and Jimmie Johnson has won all his under the new Chase system...) Though, I am sure Jeff Gordon would like Miz Tisdale just fine. Especially her driving ability and to do wheelies. I don't even know who Lacy Chabert is. Though I do know she isn't NASCAR, so I do believe that post is under the wrong thread. It's always disappointing when y'all try to distract my thread here. I mean...it's the one thing I know and understand and y'all are trying to confuse me on that, too! LOL. I always wondered how many people knew I was a girl...LOL. And I don't know many girls that like NASCAR, except for one who I text every so often. Though she accused Jimmie Johnson of cheating last week when I told her I was excited he got accepted into the Hall of Fame (she was excited about Donnie Allison making it in)....so I'm still trying to decide on whether or not to forgive her on that. LOL. No one accuses JJ of cheating...he got there fair and square. OK...I am a bit biased on that. Tho it does upset me when people accuse him of cheating. 26 loooonnnnngggg days until the Daytona 500!!!!
  21. Thank you Hobie and Roger. You both just made my entire day...or off season! I will be honest with you all, before Dukes came back on air in 1996 (well I think it was 1997 when I started to get into it) I couldn't get the whole deal with NASCAR. I thought I'd rather watch my dog chase it's tail and it'd be more entertaining and fun to watch. But the Dukes and General Lee turned it around. By then Richard Petty was retired and I picked Jeff Gordon as my driver by the only way proper way to pick out a favorite driver... He was in a top fifty most sexiest men magazine. Or something like that. I will preface it and say that Garrett Duke would highly disagree with my logic in all of that and admit that Garrett Duke is my fictional DOH character. And that I myself is actually a female...LOL (Garrett made me admit to all that...he is too ashamed of it. HA!) Gordon was in the magazine (I still have the picture somewhere), he drove a Chevy, and won championships (as a Cubs fan, that was important. At least to have someone I follow who wins! HA I'll always love my Cubs. Win or lose...) But with all that said, I like Gordon for his style, his personality, and his talent. Even if I still believe him and Jimmie Johnson are good looking. (I got to liking Jimmie Johnson because Gordon lured him into the spot and owns the majority of his car...) And the rest is history. Now I am hooked and there is no going back. Even if Gordon and Johnson are retired (Well Johnson is semi retired. He will be racing a handful of races this year for his team he owns with Richard Petty). I miss Gordon and Johnson, but will be going for Chase Elliott (who was slated to take over for Gordon when he retired, which is how I picked him. HA). Oh and Pepsi sponsored Gordon. I love my Pepsi. Well...Diet Pepsi now. LOL
