Cowboy

Yeehaw Garrett! I cant think of anyone who deserves this more then you. Three cheers to ya my brother! ~Chet

Chet followed the group of touring Hazzard folks up the velvet covered stair-case, looking around alertly as he came to the top of the stairs. His mismatched eyes scanned the wall that the mirror had "fallen" from. The nail that had held it he noticed was new, like the rest of the building. Chet touched the nail, running his fingers over it and testing it for securness and strength. It seemed plenty solid, planted well in a stud in the wall and not bent over at all. He lowered his eyes to the mirrors frame laying face down on the steps, carefully he reached down and picked it up. The young Duke boy carefully looked the frames hook over that had hung on he nail, a good quality hook which would not have come off easily without being lifted. His eyes narrowed, his face creasing as it hardened firmly. Something was peculiar about this incident, he glanced at the female Deputy hoping to spur her interest with his own investigation of the mirror. (Cue Anyone, lets get this into second gear!)

The young Duke boy took his wife by the hand squeezing hers gently in reassurance. His eyes scanned the entrance way into the huge new Hotel, people were fluently flowing in and out of the building. It looked like as good of a time as any to have a look inside too. "Yeah Im ok... just..." He bit his lip and glanced at Amanda. "...thought I saw something up there in the window." Chet sighed shaking his head. "I was probably just seeing things." Chet led Amanda across the street and put his arm around her comfortably as they joined the waiting line to get in and get a guided tour of the Hotel. But Chet couldnt shake the feeling of being watched the entire time he stood outside the glorious hotel. (Cue anyone)

“Will ya share a fried dough with me baby?†Chet smiled at his wife wigging his eyebrows teasingly at her. Regardless of if she would he paused near the fried dough stand and put in an order for a cinnamon and sugar. The Hazzard square bustled with people, laughing and playing games at the bar-b-que. The strong wonderful smell of smokey beef and chicken on the big grill carried through the autumn breeze. Dozens of people wandered in and out of the new Hotel, beautiful ribbons and decorative bows hung from the big arches and entrance ways of the new building. Amanda and Chet’s fried dough was served and Chet paid for it immediately breaking off a piece and munching on it. His mismatched eyes wandered around the square, taking in the busy surroundings and having a look at the magnificent hotel. The building was tall with big windows and the front entrance was built of two double doors side by side. Light in color and adorned with big shrubs and a nice maple sapling in the yard in place of the old oak tree that had been destroyed in the fire. Chet tilted his head back further looking high up towards the upper rooms of the building. His brow raised seeing the shadowy image of a cowboy standing at a window and looking out at the top floor of the four floor building. The Duke boy blinked a couple of times unsure that he was truly seeing the man standing in the window. Chet paused there staring long and hard at the man in the window. A dark figure with a light tan shirt with a lace up front, a ten gallon hat, a double six gun rig on his hips, cross drawn with pistol grips forward. A pair of dark brow chaps covered his legs and disappeared behind the lower frame of the window. Again Chet blinked not believing his eyes but this time when he looked back the cowboy was gone. Quickly Chet’s eyes searched the windows on the upper floors to simply see if the man had moved, but there was no sign of him. He brushed the sugar off on his pants and glanced around him then back up at the big building again.. “I think I’d like to take the tour after all.†(Cue Anyone.)

Heya'll, I started a new Round Robin and I'd really like to see some people jump in on it. Im trying as hard as possible to make it as tradition and in the sense of some of the older RRs. Its a Halloween fic, in the spirit of the month of October. ~Chet

"Yes please." He accepted the steaming hot cup of coffee from his wife and looked out over the feilds once again. "Thank you." Chet's head bobbed in a nod. "You know I never turn down free food. But I have no interest in the free tour of the new Hotel, I got better things to do. Steam whisped up Chets face as he sipped his coffee, he wrapped a warm arm around his wife and continued staring out over his fields. Horses, bulls and all sorts of critters stood in the warm morning sunshine waiting to be fed. "I guess I should get the chores done right early if were going to head down to the bar-b-que." ~Historical Society~ Cold fingers of the breeze traveled up and down the middle aged womens arms and back, spreading the goose bumps like a rash. A whisper in the wind puffed to her ears and away again, threatening to speak clear. She looked out the window of the Hisctorical Society building to take a gaze at the completed Hotel. The new Hotel stood big and beautiful in the morning sky, looking perfect, almost too perfect to be true. Surely making the former 100 year old building proud. A not formed in her throat suddenly, her green eyes blinked quickly in disbelief, only to be reassured that she'd been seeing things, shaddows from the passing clouds perhaps. With her imagination on the run she closed the windows and turned away turning up the furnance. (Cue anyone! Truely I dare you!)

*6am October 25th 2008* The young nose of a Hazzard Gazett delivery boy wrinkled as he rode his bicycle down Hazzard Main Street. Veering around big orange cones and bright yellow caution tape, he raised his arm back and threw the local paper into the smoldering remains of the once small but mighty Hogg Hotel. The small news papers rubber band snapped as it landed on the ashes, unrolling. "Hazzard's 100 Year Old 'Hazzard Hotel' Burns to Ground" "Cause of blaze being investigated." The young boy snorted cockily, it would be one less place he had to deliver the paper to. Leaves whisped and scratched acrossed the pavement of the street, carrying a cold breeze, out to the open feilds of Hazzard, beyond the town. Halloween decorations tremored in the breeze on the front of Chet Dukes ranch house. Gooze bumps crawled up the bare legs of the young black haired Duke man standing on his wrap around porch, a cigarett between his fingers and only attired in his boxer shorts. A stream of smoke exhaled from his nose as he watched the warm orange and yellow sun arise from her sleep. Stretching long fingers of light first across the very distant moutains, peaking through the hazy settlement of fog and finally down into the yard of the ranch. Chet turned away from leaning on the railing and pinched out his cigarett with his fingers. A husky mutt looked up at him with dark brown eyes. "Best get the chorse done Thunder, 'afore the worlds awake to slow us down." (Cue Anyone who dare)

COMEGRADULATIONS BL! Im soooo happy for you! *Hands you a bouquet of flowers.* YEEEHAW! Way to go girl! You have earned this so much! You have really put forth every ounce of yourself into everything you do here in Hnet and it shows everyday. Congrats! }~*Chet

No, save yourself the time and effort. Im sure ya got better things to do. }~*Chet

It was no inconvience Meadowmufn, we were just concerned that something had happened. The sites been spamed and just plain went down over the years and we were worried. Glad to see it back up and healthy, thanks for your speedy attention to the problem. }~*Chet

Dont hurt yourself trying to come up with a suitable nick name for me that you can post on this family board. Alex sure hasnt a chance in a snow storm of coming up with one either. I bet even MaryAnne and MeadowMufn would be hard pressed to not call me something that wouldnt be along the lines of @$$%$^#!! Big deal. I'll have you know lately Ive done my share of helpin out around here, to the best of my ability. Other then pokin fun at Alex and prodding him just because I cant help myself, Ive been well behaved. After all I asked for permission to post this petition so I wouldnt get in trouble,(and for the better interest of the quiality of Hnet) and although I broke rules on the RR forum I did it rather civil like and didnt blow my top. Ive been makin an effort, dont it count fer something? }~*Cowboy

Hey you should feel special Sheriff, I been around all these years and all I have under my name for a 'nickname' is "member". Yippee. Guess I truely didnt raise enough hell over the years. Yup, turn over a new leaf for a year or so (3 years actually but whos counting) around here and everyone forgets ya. Heh. Glad to know I truely wasnt the bur under everyones saddle that I thought I was. }~*Chet

Glad to see you joined this discussion Brain! You always have some very good points, like the one at the top of your head. *Smirks.* Anyway, its no secret that I have been MIA for a few days due to some local events that called me away, I had to go shoot some people actually. But Im back home now and cant believe how this discussion has grown! Also Ive wandered around Hnet alittle and it looks great! Isnt it amazing what happens when we all bump heads and discuss things that have been eating at some of us for YEARS! On that note I also like the idea of having a all "original cast" Round Robin option open, BUT, I personally would like to see a seperate forum for it so readers can go to one or the other pending on what they wish to read without having to manually sort through. Now like MA said, all we gotta do is get some of the older writers back on the RR board. Hey... wait a minute, I consider myself a "older" member, just because my SN says I joined Decemeber 26th 2007 I assure you have been around MUCH MUCH longer then that! Just as MA or Brian, Ive been driving them crazy for far longer then that! *Breaths* I have some more thoughts on some of the points made, but Im gonna ponder them awhile and will write more later. Great to see ya'll putting your two cents in. Three Cheers for Hazzardnet being the best fanfic site in the world, still to this day! }~* Chet

Yeah... like Dixie said. If Wanted Dead or Alive cant be an exception, then all these RP stories need to be moved to. Ive begged, Ive done everything I can to help DaisyXEnos to not continue doing this and if so continue it where it belongs. I dont mind that Wanted Dead or Alive got moved, its where it belongs now, but RPs in the RR board just aint where they belong either. Also it would take me an entire day of effort to make a vote over all the posts that dont make sense or go along with the stories around here anymore. People just are not working to gether like they once did, ya'll need to converse alittle outside of the story, and say "hey how about I do this, what are you gonna do next?" Work together! Its not rocket science. }~*Chet

I will be the first to admit that Ive broken dozens of rules over the years and been banned more times then the Outlaw Lord himself. (We'll have to tally that up and figure that one out for the hell of it sometime Brian, but my bets are I got ya beat.) Anyway, even right now, I agree with BL that were breaking the RR rule with "Wanted: Dead or Alive". BUT, we became very wary of allowing anyone else into the story because the vast major of writers that are now on the RR board cant keep in the form of writing that USED to be the nature of a RR. So yeah were in the wrong, but can you blame us? I have to say that if half the people who used to participate in the old RR's were to return, they would be utterly appauled with the current existance of the RR boards. I only wish enough of them were still around and would speak up, I cant possibly be the only 'older' memeber that misses the days of "Buckshot" and so many other old style RR's. MaryAnne, MeadowMufn, if you wish, I... dont mind if Wanted Dead or Alive is moved, but if it aint hurting nothing I'd sure like to have it left there. Im so glad that this is finally been put in the open, maybe, just maybe if the RR is cleaned up and changed alil more authors who used to enjoy it will find there way back. Im really at an end as to what to suggest for new rules, I just dont know. I think just tightening up on designated boards for different kinds of stories would make a big difference. )~* Chet

Say NO to one liners! You heard it, were saying no to one liner posts on the Round Robin forum. Are you tired of scouting all over this site looking for a half decent story to read? Are you tired of scrolling down and down and going through page after page of one sentence posts on the Round Robin forum? Well... I AM!!! So step right up here if you want it to come to end, to stop this non-sense! Enough is enough! Its time this was a respectable board again with some decent writing and reading material. The wonderful administrators of this site have gone through so much to make plenty of different boards for all different kinds of writing. One liners are for the Role Playing board, not the Round Robin. So please, if you want our Round Robin board back after so long of having it go to waist by one liners, please, sign below, speak ya peace. Enough is enough, lets up our standards and quality. PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!!! Yeehaw! }~*Chet (*NOTE* THIS WAS POSTED WITH THE PERMISSION OF DEPUTY MARYANNE COLTRANE!*THANK YA MAM'!)
