Yeah, Alex, you could get me some chocolates! Better than the chipped beef that gets served in this joint. And believe me. I know what I'm talkin' about!

Oh but Alex, I'm not alone! *gestures to all the folks standing around eating popcorn and watching the floor show*

ROFL. I fixed it for ya GL Girl!

*watches the shenanigans in the booking room from the jail cell. smirks* I always thought Alex and Brian made a cute couple. *hears Daney's suggestion* Oooo.... Brian, why don't you n' Doc there go on over to the Busy Bee Cafe and have some better coffee than what this place has. Talk about your final exam an' all. Take Alex with ya, so he can practice his romantic lines. I'll be fine here. No problem...

No. I wanted the tin cup so I could make some noise. You know, rattle against the bars? *takes handcuffs from belt and knocks them against the bars instead* Awright Mr. Jailer. Since everyone else has been tossed in here under trumped up---er, I mean under various charges, you got some crime in mind that I've committed? Am I gonna be subjected to bail? What about my one phone call? I wanna see a lawyer. I wanna see my doctor. I wanna see my Indian Chief. *grins* I can do this all day... KHEE!

*watches the excessive display from the jail cell, wearing a scowl on face. Can't believe how easily she had been duped* Yeah, well, don't fall off the desk, silly. I'd hate see your victory ruined by bustin' your leg, or your head, or something. *looks around the jail cell* Hey don't I get one of those tin cups for some water?

What?! GAAHH!!!! *stumbles into the holding cell and then turns, rushing back to the bars and grabs hold* You stinker!! *pushes on the door and finds it won't open* Lemme outta heah!

Hmm... cousin, you look tired. Maybe you should lie down. Here... the cot in the holding cell is all nice and ready for ya....

You mean you haven't lost yours yet? I lost mine quite awhile ago... Yer right tho'. We can't stand heah quiet and idle. Somebody's gonna hafta be arrested...

I already do that. I'd rather stand still for a bit.

True! Can I arrest myself?

It was very good story, Garrett. Heck, I'm impressed you turned around a story in, what, less than a week? I can't even do that! LOL And speaking of stories, it's about time to start thinking about the next chapter in our ongoing tale of jail house shenanigans. Who will be the next lucky person to grace Hazzard's jail? Hmmm....

That's not real journalism, BoJames. That's tabloid, which is pure junk. LOL Tabloids LOVE beating up on celebrities and pointing out all their faults and everything that's "wrong" with them. To essentially pick on a woman who's a mother of two now and couldn't care less about the whole Hollywood game is typical of tabloids. They have nothing better to write about. The Daily Mail is in no way an accurate representation of All Things British and is notorious for it's history of false and inaccurate stories about celebrities and they've been sued about 50 times over because of it. Therefore, don't be ashamed to be British because of this one newspaper. That'd be like me saying I'm ashamed to be an American because of the National Inquirer. LOL

I'm not going to delete the thread just yet but I am going to lock it. I want this to stay out for a little while, to serve as a reminder of the lesson learned here. I don't want it to be forgotten.

Awright. Since y'all apologize I won't tell ya what I was contemplating doing. Let's work at more constructive ways to make a point 'k? Now go play nice.

Yeah, well, I understand you want folks to put forth their best effort, but to go stompin' through somebody's story just because you don't think the story's good enough is downright mean-spirited on your part. You should be outright ashamed of yourself, Chet. How would you like if somebody decided your story wasn't all that good and they pulled this kind of crap? You wouldn't. So keep that in mind.

You better believe it's a tall cliff and y'all are gonna go straight down in an abyss... You know, I know Cowboy has his crusade against one liner posts in the RRs and whatnot, but this is really going too far. This is not funny. I am not amused. Ya know, Chet, why don't you go spend your energy on "Hazzardous Hotel?" I believe some of us have been waiting for you to get your damn butt over there to respond to the last post, since if was you and Amanda who were being called after. Stop pulling this crap and worry about your own!!

Um...what the hell are you guys doing...?

Congrats Bo!

How defined do you want it to be? Shall we make a whole long laundry list of topics that are taboo?? Better yet, I could just simplfy it and say only stories about sunshine and lollipops are allowed. All others will be deleted. If we do that, then we start breeching the fine line of censorship as opposed to just going by a general rating standard. We don't particularly want to censor things here, yet we are trying to keep in mind the fact that we do have users under the age of 18 here. I'll be the first to admit, the forums here have stories in it that technically never should've been posted. But they're out there now and have been for several years. Certainly if there's multiple major complaints from users about any particular RR or story then we will consider removing it or editing it. But otherwise, we have a kinda general guideline to the PG-13 to keep the place from completely going into the gutter. We would hope, also, that folks place a warning on their stories. It's only fair. Then if it's a topic that somebody doesn't want to read they don't have to read the story. Doc made a good point. There's writing hard topics for a powerful story and then there's writing hard topics just for pure shock value. We're not intersted in shock value here but is it fair for us to shut somebody out because they write a good story about a hard topic? We also can't possibly read every single post of every single story ever posted to these forums. We don't have time. And having said that, I get a little irritated when people post stuff like this, question our guidelines (what little we got) and then proceed to throw stuff back in our faces. Publically. I was fully aware of that first link, Daney, that's why I edited it with a warning. Out of the 3000 plus members of this forum, if I got all of two people bothered by it....what the hell do you want me to do? If I got a complaint from one person for every story in the forums, and delted them all accordingly....well then what the hell is the point of even having the forum? Ugh. I'm done ranting.

Nah, the nightstick won't be needed. *continues waving the cuffs as Alex walks back to her* Step right this way, Alex. Follow the jingle jangle...

Yeah, I do seem to recall somebody here sayin' something about getting Brian's car fixed up. Well, I'll tell ya what, ya been a good sport, Garrett and ya did make the conditions of your bail *holds up story* so I really can't hold ya here much longer. Well, I could actually, since I tossed ya in for no good reason, I could hold ya a little longer for no good reason. But to show I'm not that unreasonable, I'm gonna letcha out. *unlocks the cell door and holds it open* Yer free to go, Garrett! *grins* As for the bail heah, y'all that wanna read it can find it here... http://www.dukesofhazzardfanfic.com/SubmittedFanFic/KristyDuke/Hero.htm

The bail will be made public in due time, Roger.

Silly Duke! Lemme ask ya the question and then you can answer! Is Brian's car put back together?
