Wow! I kind of think differently. I always thought that Bo was such a cool fighter. I just thought he had this extra flair, and was punching as hard as he could. I always thought he looked so tough and cool. I know what all of you are thinking, you can tell that I've never seen a real fight! You'd be right on that. But, I just think Bo looks cool when he fights. I still can't decide on who is the better one, Bo or Luke. There's certain great characteristics about both of them, but it would be the same without them, so I definately can't choose between them. Denver Pyle is great! He's the anchoring force for the Dukes (and in real life). It just wouldn't be as great of a show without him (or any of them for that matter)! I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Laura Duke:-P

Sorry, Roger, but I just wanted to make this easier yet! If you scroll to the top of this screen, right below the HazzardNet picture. Under the "Reply to Thread" There's a bunch of commands, look for the "Chat". It's the 5th command, with the small little upside down triangle. Then just follow the rest of our previous messages. Hopefully that makes sense. But, please don't do that until we set up a time to do this, otherwise you'll be talking to yourself! If you have a day and time that you would like to do this, let me know! Thanks, and I hope that it helped. I still know that you can figure this out! Laura Duke

Hi Everyone! First of all General Grant, I would love to set up a chat time! When did you have it in mind? Roger, I don't blame you for not knowing how to get in a chat room, this is the first time I've done this, too! Even though General Grant did a great job explaining it, sometimes it's a little easier to understand if two people explain it, that way one person can explain what another person missed! If you are on the main forum page, you will see a list of things. One of them says "Chat". Click on that. Once you click on it, that's pretty much it. You then just have to click on "Chat in forum web page" Then it brings you right to the chat room. Don't worry, I know that you can do it! Thanks Brian Coltrane, but you are really the ones that put a LOT more work into it than I realize. It's great to have such caring people that go to a lot of time and trouble to do this for the rest of us! Thanks a million! Boy, I always love reading these posts, they are just so funny! Well, I hope that ALL of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Laura Duke:lol:

Oh, this looks like fun! I'd like to make a guess, too: On the Road Again (I'm thinking "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" was sung on "Christmas Comes to Willow Creek" starring John Schneider and Tom Wopat) I'm thinking Tyler. Then, Crystal Lake (Wasn't that the one were the guys were going to go skinny-dipping with some girls, and then the girls ran off with their clothes?) Congrats on getting 30 right, DaisyMaeDuke! If we had teams, I'd pick you as part of my team!

I can tell Uncle Jesse is your hero, and you can't find a better person to be your hero!

Well, thank you very much Roger! I must admit, I always love reading your posts, they are always so great! You are definately like the Uncle Jesse of the group, you keep everyone in line, but you always do it with class! I plan on sticking around until everyone gets sick of me! Hopefully that will be a while. Maybe we'll bump into each other at the Boar's Nest sometime! Until then, keep it 'tween the ditches, ya'll! Laura Duke

David Hasselhoff and John Schneider? That would be a very interesting movie? What would you want the story line to be? I might watch that one, it could be kind of funny! Laura Duke

All of you have such great stories on how the Dukes came into all of your lives. My story is a lot like General Grant's. I picked up the Dukes of Hazzard, more of a curiosity thing. I remember sitting down to lunch and watching the first one, and was really kind of put-back by the whole show. It just didn't seem very family-friendly, and just not my type of humor. But, something inside of me told me to keep watching it, it could get better. After watching maybe half a season, I was hooked! The Dukes became my instant family, and still are to this day. I've now been a Dukes fan for a couple of years now, and it's really changed my life. I really love Uncle Jesse's philosophy: " A stranger's just a friend you've never met." Plus, the Dukes got me through some hard times. I'm going through a rough spot in my life with some of my family members, and the Dukes are like a separate family, and even though it's just a show, somehow I just connect to that and it just makes things turn out right. But, now that I've found HazzardNet, my family just keeps growing! So, anyone else out there have a story on how the Duke's came into your life? Again, great stories everyone! Laura Duke

Wow! I must say that I always enjoy reading your posts General Grant and RogerDuke! You both have such a way of putting things so great, that I wish that I could do! Yes, we owe the moderators a HUGE thank you. They have put in countless hours of work on this site so that Duke fans could have a place to meet other Duke families around the world. Without these moderators, I would have never met such great people. Thanks, guys! Again, I can't tell you how much I enjoy this site, and all the new family members I didn't know I had. Thanks everyone! Laura Duke Oh, and General Grant, great story on how the Dukes came into your life-I really liked it!

Great words of wisdom, General Grant. You have such a great perspective on everything. Also, I can personally say that I really have enjoyed getting to know all of the great Hazzard fans on HazzardNet-ya'll are great! But, if I have offended or upset anyone, I'm sorry about that. Have a great weekend, everyone! Laura Duke

Oh, cool! I have to get one of those hats! Did you say that they were at WalMart? Or for those of you against Wal-Mart, could you recommend another place that would have it (besides on-line)? Thank you! Laura Duke

Cool! I always thought that it would be neat to fix-up a vehicle. I just don't have the know-how. Good luck on fixing your car up. I will have to check out the pics. I hope that you are enjoying your stay on HazzardNet. Laura Duke:-P

Oh boy....I think that I really upset some people. I'm truly sorry if I did, that really isn't what I want to do. I just feel that as Duke fans, we really need to show our "southern hospitality" more than ever. Yes, the movie was horrible, but they were trying to give us another Duke movie. But, banning the actors from Dukefest? Shouldn't we be banning the writers? Now, if the cast from the movie were total jerks to the original cast, that could be a whole different story. Plus, it seems that if we all stuck together and showed our hospitality, but also voiced what we didn't like, wouldn't somebody see this and want to try to please us? Well, maybe not, but why change? I would love for Duke fans to be full of adventure, fun, and hospitality. Besides, when the original cast members don't want all the work involved in Dukefest, who will continue it? For example, James Best still goes, but he's in no shape to be running the show. Who will then? Shouldn't we show those who really want to put their heart and soul into a new and better-improved Dukes of Hazzard movie that we love the show, and we'll be behind you-just don't make us look bad! I mean really, when you look back on the first couple of shows from the Dukes of Hazzard, the same humor is kind of on the movie. Now, I don't want to make a ton of excuses for the movie they refer to as the Dukes, because frankly, it was really bad. But, I just think it is a little extreme to tell the cast not to come to Dukefest. I know that if I got to be in the movie, and if it didn't go as well to Duke fans as I would have liked, I would hope that they would not ban me from Dukefest. Am I making any sense? Please...don't get upset. This is just one opinion. Laura Duke

I might get some tail feathers ruffled this time, and I definately don't want to offend anyone, but I have a different take on this question. While I can see why you feel this way, I also think they should be allowed-with permission from the original cast and crew. After all, it is Dukes of Hazzard. No one can replace the original-never! But, if Coy and Vance can go, shouldn't everyone else? Remember, these are actors following a script and a director. As I was reminded, this is the same thing that Coy and Vance were doing. Just a thought. Laura Duke

Okay, here's my thought on this question: both! I mean, there's certain things I like about Bo, and certain things I enjoy about Luke. Come on, their family. To me, you can't choose between family, that'd be wrong, and it would break the family up. Laura Duke

Well said everyone! You know, this is such a great group of people on here. I, for one, am very lucky I found HazzardNet. There's just such a warmth here. Plus, I really like the fact that even though I totally disagreed with all of you, there was no judging, just understanding. I have a lot of respect for each and everyone of you, and proud to call ya'll cousins (hey, everyone's family on the Dukes of Hazzard). As for Coy and Vance, I'll have to give it another try, who knows? I might just someday enjoy watching them(well.....I don't think I'll like them that much!) It really makes you wonder why everyone isn't a Dukes of Hazzard fan! I agree with General Grant "the world would be a better place" Really makes you stop and think about it, doesn't it? Laura Duke

Thanks, but what's a Cooter hat? I haven't seen those? What's it say?

Hey, Starskyknight, Welcome to HazzardNet! You've come to the right place, everyone here are just good ol' friends. I really hope that you enjoy it here, there's some real hospitality from everyone. Your vehicles sound very impressive, I'm jealous! I'm with you on getting a vehicle just like the General Lee! Well, keep it 'tween the ditches, ya'll! I'm gone! And again, welcome! Laura Duke

Rocky is about a man who's a boxer on the streets of Philadelphia, who just makes ends-meat by trying to fight anyone he can and doing odd jobs. But all that changes when a man (Apollo Creed), a champion boxer, gives a "rookie" the chance to fight him. Apollo ends up choosing Rocky to fight with for the whole world to watch. I hope that kind of helps, Julieduke. Also, I've seen Rambo with Sylvester Stallone in it. That's all of the Sylvester Stallone shows that I know about-unless there are more. And I've read his book-very interesting! Laura Duke

Okay, okay! RogerDuke, you're good! I'm starting to soften up on Coy and Vance. That is true-they did keep the show alive while Bo and Luke were gone for almost a whole season. Boy, you all make such good points about Coy and Vance that it's hard for me to even to think of anymore reasons why I just can't stand watching them. Laura Duke:)

Thanks, MaryAnne for answering my question. Yes, it makes more sense that they would use same makes/models instead of the same exact car! Khee! Khee! I think I pulled a Rosco!

Hey everyone! I'm a HUGE Rocky fan! I would have to say Rocky (the 1st) and Rocky Balboa are the best! How 'bout you? What's you favorite Rocky show?

Funny, General Grant! Actually, I've seen quite a lot of kids wearing Dukes of Hazzard hats! Kids know what's cool! I have to get a Dukes of Hazzard hat-anyone have one? Not that I want your hat! Laura Duke

I personally think that Coy and Vance in the 5th season ruins the show for me! Even though the script is great, I just can't stand watching it because those two are in it. But, for those of you who love Coy and Vance-you have some great shows to watch! Laura Duke8-)

Welcome to HazzardNet-glad you could join us Duke fans! I hope that you have a great time here! That's cool that you are fixing up a Plymouth Satellite. Yes, be sure to show some pictures! Again, welcome! Enjoy your stay! You'll love it here! Laura Duke
