HAPPY BIRTHDAY ENOS AND SONNY!!!! I'm late, as usual, but better late than never I guess. I hope you had a wonderful day! General Grant

Okay, I have a question for you now! If you threw a Dukes of Hazzard Birthday Party, did you by any chance make a "Dukes" themed cake? If you did, could you maybe post a picture or some instructions on here. I'm thinking about doing that for a birthday that is coming up. Anyways, I couldn't get the site to load. I'm supset because everyone is saying how great the picture looks, and I can't see it! I'm sure it was awesome, though! General Grant

Hey artykidd! WOW! Those are very good! I really like the paintings of the wildlife. Are those from photos, or did you create those off hand? I don't know how you can do that! It's amazing! They are really great! Looking at those pictures done brightened my day Again, those are really wonderful. I wish I had some talent like that! If I tried painting the only thing I'd end up with is a big mess! Anyway, I really enjoyed looking at those. You really have a wonderful talent! Can't wait to see those other pictures you didn't post yet General Grant

Okay, I'm going to chime in here again! First off, kit, I don't know if people are putting down Byron and Chris so much as they are just giving their thoughts about Coy and Vance. I, personally, cannot blame people for not liking Coy and Vance, I understand what they are saying. I personally think they were okay on the show. And Laura, you are most certainly entitled to your opinion, as is kit, and I respect you for stating it in such a respectful way. The characters Coy and Vance stepped in so Bo and Luke could fulfill their dreams. But the people, Byron and Chris, I don't think are the ones on the discussion. Does that make any sense? (sometimes I know what I'm trying to say but it doesn't come out to make sense!) I, also, have not met Byron and Chris, so I don't know what kind of people they are, but I am not in this discussion to judge them. If it ever sounded like that, I apologize. I'm here because I'm discussing Coy and Vance. They (coy and vance) are fictional characters (as much as I hate to say that!) and Byron and Chris are real people. I think maybe sometimes we could possibly take Coy and Vance as reality? I think that we as fans and they (the writers/creators) should have portrayed more "duke like actions" with the whole circumstance. We should have taken Uncle Jesse's path and accepted them ( this is solely my opinion) but even Uncle Jesse or Daisy (I don't remember which) said that Coy and Vance wouldn't be the same as Bo and Luke. (I think) I don't think that anyone is acting stupid about this, or that anyone is being judging to putting them down. This discussion started out about which character (coy or vance) you liked better. Some people simply stated that they didn't like either, they liked Bo and Luke. To all of you who stated that, it is your right to say, and your opinion. I thank you for saying it with the respect you showed. No one should be getting put down for their opinions IF they say them in a respectful tone. Isn't that putting into practice what 7 (glorious) years of the Dukes tried to utilize. I don't recollect the Dukes being rude to someone for not sharing thier opinion, and neither should we. Not that we should do everything that the Dukes do...like blow up outhouses and the like!! I don't think we should put Tom and John down (and if I have done that I aplogize, that wasn't my intent, and looking back I can see that I maybe did that, I apologize for that. How do we know that Tom and John got greedy? Well, at any rate, I hope that everyone learned something from the whole Coy and Vance charade. And I think that Coy and Vance, by the end of the season, were beginning to develop personalitites, as small as they were! And to answer a comment you made, Laura, no, I don't think you are stupid. Anyway, y'all keep them opinions and thoughts rollin'! General Grant

Alrighty... You're right, Laura, I am groaning... I know you well enough to know that anything you have to say about Coy and Vance is likely to send you into tears!! (that's how you look when you see the opening credits with Coy and Vance, right?!) Anyways, on to the discussion at hand- I am sure that they knew they were going to "replace" someone. Coy and Vance aren't really replacements, though, are they? If the creators wanted to replace Bo and Luke couldn't they have just as Easily found better look-alikes and given the new actors the characters of Bo and Luke? They didn't do that, I think they got one blonde and one dark haired guy with similar "Bo and Luke personalities" just to give the viewers a sense of familiarity so these new "strangers" didn't seem so strange and unknown to us. Who knows, maybe I'm way off base there. But I'm not sure that was the intent to make the new characters Just like Bo and Luke, I think it was more so the viewers could sense some familiar personalities and feel more "at home" with the whole change, as drastic as it was... Quick Rise to fame?!?! If that is what they thought, then I am not sure that they have the brilliant minds of a Duke IF (and I did say if) that was the case, I guess we all blew that one down the drain. Instead of fame they got something more like this... whenever their names appeared in the credits! OH, and just so I don't disappoint you, Laura, "YOU'RE AWEFUL!!!" No, just kidding there, bad joke! Thanks for your opinions, and keep them rollin' it is always a pleasure to read all of the thoughts and opinions of so many different people, esspecially when they handle themselves so gracefully like y'all have done! General Grant

Hey, Y'all! I got to the point of having NO notifications, and the number of users chatting thing appeared. Thanks, MaryAnne, for putting that idea in my head, it worked! Oh, and thanks, meadowmufn, for being so considerate as to take the time to find out what us hazzardites want. That is so thoughtful of you. Not many moderators or sites would do that! Thanks! General Grant

Congratulations, dukefan1! I'm sure that was really exciting, not only getting to go to Dukefest, but also winning the trivia contest! I guess you have something to talk about for the next year, I know I'd be talking about that so much everyone would probably run and hide whenever they saw me because I'd never stop talking about it!!! Anyway, I'm really happy for you! Details, Please. I'd love to hear about it! Again, Congratulations! General Grant

Welcome to Hazzardnet, MadagascarLover01! I hope that you enjoy your stay with us! If you love the dukes, you've come to the right place!! I hope that you stick around for a good long while and have a pleasant time here! Again, Welcome! General Grant

(to CB) I guess that answers your queston, Sheriff. Now can I rip up this ticket... legally? (to Lori) You just can't admit when you deserve a ticket for doin' something wrong, can you?

Hey Y'all! Good question, Roger... how big is it? I still can't get over how cool it looks. If I tried my hand at something like that it would probably turn into a royal mess! It looks great! General Grant

Hello, North! If you'd like to change it to Friday or Saturday that would be fine. Otherwise another option is to make it earlier in the day. I don't like staying up late. I usually go to bed as soon as the sun goes down... or as late as 9:00 pm CST. So, earlier in the day is fine, also. It is up to you what you want to do. General Grant

I most certainly did NOT bother the sheriff. You cut that out, Lori... blamin' me for your rudeness... or I'll tell the sheriff it was you who did the litterin'! (smirks, and looks proud)

(looks at ticket, grins and talks to the sheriff over the CB) Hey Sheriff, I dont' suppose you'd like to write another one of them tickets for litterin', would ya? If I was to tell you who littered, would you let me off the hook for this ticket? (looks at Lori and grins) That is for gettin' me a ticket! General Grant

Hello Y'all! WOW! Those pictures looked Great! How long did that take you? If I tried to do something like that, it would take me Forever! It looks absolutely wonderful! General Grant

Hey North! Did you want to suggest a time, or did you want to keep the time the same? General Grant

Hey Y'all! I haven't been in the chat room for quite a while, but does anyone want to continue on with the Weekly Community Chat night? We can all decide on a day and time, if you'd like... I believe that we had it Sunday at 7CST (8EST) P.M. Any other suggestions, or does everyone like that? Hope to see y 'all sometime and I hope that I remember! General Grant

Poor Ol' Lori... she gets so picked on around here.... I think I'll join in Come on, Sheriff... write her a Big Ol' Ticket! I'm going to enjoy watching this! Lets see ya get out of this one, Lori!

Welcome, Kurt Duke! I hope that you enjoy your stay, and you have a fun time here. Hopefully you stick around for awhile! Again, enjoy your stay, and welcome to Hazzard. You be careful, things do get crazy around here, just like in the series!! General Grant

Welcome, Boss Hogg 2! You two keep it up... Lori needs to be kept in line! (Khee!) It sounds like you two must really have a lot of fun watchin' the Dukes! I hope you decide to stick around awhile! And Boss Hogg 2, you keep ol' Lori in line, she needs it! General Grant

Hey Meadowmufn! Okay, I wasn't sure if you were asking what features would be nice to have on this site, or more about what forums (and related items) we'd want. But, I have a suggestion. I thought that the "Number of Users Chatting" feature was kind of nice. I hope that I made some sense... Anyway, thank you for givin' us all a chance to voice our thoughts! General Grant

Very Good Comparison, Roger! I have never thought of it that way, about the step-parent comparison! Brilliant comparison! Anyway, as bad as I did feel for Coy and Vance, and as much as I do think they deserve our respect and all, I'll be the first to admit that I was glad when Bo and Luke did decide to come back. It would have been nice if they could have given Coy and Vance a little nicer "send off" though. It was almost like, Bo and Luke leave, Coy and Vance come and put their lives aside to help the Dukes, Coy and Vance leave abruptly because Hazzard isn't big enough for the four cousins even for one show. (not to sound rude there...) It would have been nice if Coy and Vance at least came back on occasion, just so it didn't seem like we abandoned them. Anyway, thanks y'all for the opinions. General Grant

Okay Y'all, here goes... I do agree with Lori that Coy and Vance are still Dukes. We should give them a fair shot, afterall, Dukes don't fight Dukes. If it weren't for Coy and Vance coming in, Bo and Luke would be unhappy because they would not have been given the chance to fulfill their life long dream of joining the Nascar circuit. I think we owe it to Coy and Vance the same respect we give to Bo and Luke. Sure, it just isn't the same as having Bo and Luke, but even Uncle Jesse (who raised Bo and Luke from toddlers) accepted their leaving and Coy and Vance's temporary takeover of Hazzard. In a different light... Tom and John (if I am right on this) walked out on the "Dukes project" because of a contract argument and miscommunications, right? Well, if it weren't for Byron and Chris, the Dukes probably would not have lasted those extra three seasons to make seven, all in all. I think we owe Chris and Byron a huge thank you for that. They were put in a bad situation. It should have been handled better by the writers/creators of the Dukes to give those two their own characters and personalities to follow. But, they did the best with what they had and that is all anyone can do. I actually think they did pretty good for the parts they had to play and the situation they were put in. Very good, LukasKevinDuke. I really like that perspective you put on this whole thing! Anyways, to answer the original question. I think that Coy had more of a beliveable personality, and that Byron was a better actor. I think that is it for now. Hope to hear some more opinions about all this! General Grant

Happy Father's Day! Sorry Y'all, I'm late AGAIN! Anyway, I hope that it was special to all the fathers on here as well as all the fathers of the members on here. Not really any traditions here. How about everyone else? General Grant
