He was born Jewel Franklin Guy. I'm not sure that bio is 100% correct. If I recall correctly, the bio written by that guy used to say he was Julliard trained and I think Jimmie told me once that he wasn't.

Here's a good analogy in Dukes terms... If you're sittin' in the Boar's Nest some Friday evenin' and an angry drunk comes up to you and is hell bent on beating the snot out of ya for some reason you can't fathom, you can try to talk sense to him while he's pummeling you, or you can put yer dukes up and defend yourself. LOL.

It's hard to talk peace with people who would much rather see you dead. As Brian said, they have no regard for human life and no pity for the innocent. To think we can just talk them out of thousands of years of the same mindset is a tad naive. It doesn't matter how much WE want peace. THEY have got to want peace too, and I just don't see that happening any time soon. Perhaps if more moderate Muslims stood up and said this is wrong, it might happen. But until then, we need to protect and defend ourselves. Oil is not the number one reason for this war. In fact, I don't think it has very much to do with oil at all. No, this war is about islamic terrorists and extremists, and their quest for global domination and Islamic supremacy. They've been killing people to achieve their aims long before the automobile was invented and there was even a need for oil. Oil wasn't the reason the Twin Towers came down or the Pentagon was hit. Oil wasn't the reason they bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, bombed the U.S.S. Cole in 2000, bombed the London Underground in 2005, bombed the trains in Madrid in 2004, bombed the U.S. Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998, bombed the Khobar Towers in 1996, bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in 1983, took 66 American diplomats hostage in the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979, not to mention numerous airplane hijackings, suicide bombings, and the Munich Olympic massacre in 1972. I could go on, but I think I made my point....

July 30th! You got more than a month to go... which is good because I haven't started yet. LOL.

Don't forget the bordetella and parvo shots!

The "war on terrorism" didn't start after 9/11. Though it came to the forefront then, this is technically a decades old, if not millenia old, battle. I don't think we "entered" the war on terrorism. I think we just woke up to the fact that they were already "warring" with us and we decided not to just sit back and take it anymore. I can't think of a single war we've fought that DIDN'T have flawed intelligence and incomplete strategies. LOL. That's probably why the old adage "war is hell" still rings true today despite our high tech weapons and modern intelligence gathering techniques. The hell of it all is, we have to succeed EVERY time, while the terrorists only have to succeed once in order to achieve a victory... which is killing infidels. I completely agree with Brian (for once) in the thought that our best hope is by spreading Democracy and capitalism through the wonder that is Wal-mart to the four corners of the earth. Maybe then everyday low prices and the opportunity to buy tires and tube socks in the same building will soften the hearts of the extremists and they'll spend more time shopping and less time killing. Walmart, we salute you! (The author of this post denies ever setting foot inside a Walmart. And Brian, if you tell anybody I did, I'll kick your ass.)

Please post new challenge ideas in a separate thread.

Just a li'l warning here.. I don't like political stuff on the boards because inevitably it leads to heated arguments. We have enough of that just discussing the DOH movies. LOL. If you guys can keep this discussion civil, it'll stay. If it starts getting heated or controversial, I'm going to close and/or delete the thread. However, if there are enough folks that are really interested in talking politics, I could be persuaded to put up a private, password protected forum for y'all to chatter in. I just don't want heated discussions scarin' folks away from all the fun stuff!

Welcome aboard, Wendy! We're always happy to welcome new members, especially fan fic writers! I'm not sure, but I think somewhere in the HazzardNet by-laws it says something about members who have pet critters having to post pictures. Khee! Denny sounds like a beautiful and SMART cat.

What? No community service? No probation? No house arrest? The Deputy must like you, Alex. Khee!

Considerin' I haven't even started writing a story yet, the deadline is extended to July 30th. Now get to work!

I'll "hazzard" a guess.. a complete guess. One Armed Bandits?

I'm pretty sure it's "Old Factory Whistle". One blast and you're through for the day! LOL.

Well, what do y'all think? July 15th or July 30th?

I concur. So, what I gather from your "plea" is... you remember Alex dancing in the rain and you don't know if he's positively touched anyone's life. Remind me not to hire you as a defense attorney if I should ever need one. LOL.

Especially since ignorance of the law is no excuse! Khee! This should be interesting...

I hate it when that happens! Guess you'll just have to go through with all this...

Hey, HERE'S a thought. How about you respect the authority of the admins of this board and leave the decision up to MaryAnne? This site is not a democracy. It's a benevolent dictatorship. LOL.

Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?

I'd take the Angel one, but we all know the irony in that. Don't we?

Yeah, it kinda threw me there for a second.

I don't like SPAM! Khee...
