MaryAnne

I'm glad somebody started a thread for this because I didn't want to comment on North's drawing in the story. Which my comment is basically this: Great drawing! How cool is that, that we can have an illustrated RR? Khee!

As the group moved up the stairs, MaryAnne looked at the remaining pieces of glass on the stairs from the broken mirror and then looked up to where the massive mirror had been hanging on the wall near the top of the stairs. Something didn't seem right... She kept her thoughts to herself, however, and proceeded with the group to the second floor of the hotel. (cue anyone)

Found this while cruisin' through YouTube recently. Waylon and Hank Jr. How freakin' kewl is this???

Happy Birthday DixieRoss!

The Boar's Nest was all decorated for the special occasion... When Bo and Luke got there, they helped with a little last minute clean up... A few of Brian's friends on both sides of the law came for the occasion... And a splendid time was had by all! By Hazzard standards, the party was a smashing success!! Boss Hogg: I'm not paying for that!! Happy Birthday cousin! I hope you had a great day! Khee!

While MaryAnne worked to decorate the Boar's Nest with a little help from some friends, Rosco wanted to make sure the party was well attended. Rosco: You mind if I pause from hollarin' about the sprayin' for abersinininininn fruit fly to let folks know about my cousin Brian's birthday party at the Boar's Nest? Out-of-town Thug du Jour: No problem. There gonna be cake at that party? Rosco: Yeah! Wanna come? Thug du Jour: Assuming you're not gonna arrest me before the day's out, sure. Rosco: Well, if I do, I'll bring ya piece of cake at the jail. Khee! As the hour drew closer, everyone in Hazzard was soon making a mad dash to the Boar's Nest... (continued....)

I'm back! And I found some pics to help celebrate the occasion! The Duke boys will plot to find a joke b-day cake for Brian... Bo: What'dya mean, I'm gonna give Brian the cake? It was your idea Luke! Luke: Well yeah, but I don't have to do everything! This should be a team effort. Right Cooter? Cooter: Leave me out of this. Meanwhile, Rosco's looking to get permission from Boss to use the Boar's Nest for a party... Boss: A birthday party? For Brian? Rosco: Yeah, Boss, I was thinkin' we'd have cake an' ice cream and sodie pop! And we'd decorate the Boar's Nest with Happy Birthday and steamers and the whole kit n' kaboodle! Khee! Boss: Who's payin' for all this? Rosco: Uh....MaryAnne. Satisfied he wouldn't have to foot the bill, Boss allowed Rosco to plan for the party. The Sheriff radioed to MaryAnne the good news... Rosco: We're a go for the Boar's Nest! MaryAnne: Boss agreed? I figured he'd put up a fuss since you were gonna ask him to help pay for the shindig. Rosco: Uhh....nope, he didn't put up a fuss. Can you believe that? MaryAnne: No, I can't believe that. (continued in next post....)

Holy crap! It's that time of year again??? HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!!! I gotta go find some smarmy birthday related pic to post like I did last year. Khee!!

Yup. Laurel and Hardy rob the bank and Daisy tries to follow them by riding atop their RV.

I can't believe how expensive gas has gotten! Before ya know it we'll be payin' a dollah...

The Dukes and Rosco take part in an intense game of Hazzard County Automotive Bowling. Looks like Rosco's leading off with a strike already!!

Time to resurrect this thread again. Khee! Rosco: You sure we ain't rushin' into things heah?

As the grand marshall of the shindig, Rosco stood at the entrance to the hotel and welcomed everyone as they filed past him. "Khee! Welcome to the brand new Hazzard Hotel! Make sure you tell your friends and family that come for a visit to Hazzard to stay at the Hazzard Hotel!" Somebody in the crowd muttered, "Most of my friends and family already live in Hazzard..." MaryAnne snorted and then looked at her cousin as she passed him. She coulda swore she saw dollar signs in his eyes. "So, Rosco," she said. "You gonna leave the light on?" "What do you mean, leave the light on?" "Y'know, like Motel 6. We'll leave the light on for ya." "Oh. Ooo! Ya know, that ain't a bad idea..." MaryAnne grinned. "But this ain't no Motel 6," Rosco said. "This is the finest hotel in all of Hazzard County!" "Rosco. It's the only hotel in all of Hazzard County." "Khee! That's why it's the finest..." MaryAnne snorted and moved along with the crowd. Everyone gathered in the grand lobby where a hotel employee was standing and waiting. The young man smiled as he watched everyone oohin' and ahhin' about the lobby, with it's marble tile floor, potted palms and classic Victorian styled furniture. Everything was shiny and new yet was an acknowledgement to the building that had once stood in this spot. MaryAnne couldn't help but gaze around the lobby. "Wow..." (cue anyone!)

MaryAnne smiled at B.L. "Howdy. Yeah, he sure did. Never figured Hazzard to have such a highclass lookin' place tho'." She looked up at the building shining like a diamond and then at B.L. "You headin' inside for the tour? I'm curious to see if the inside is as pretty as the outside. Khee!"

MaryAnne Coltrane looked around the bustling square as she chewed on her fried dough and rubbed her fingers together over her paper plate to get the excess sugar off. Rosco was pulling out all the stops for this grand re-opening of the Hazzard Hotel. She had to admit the new building was beautiful, but she wondered if lil' ol' Hazzard really rated for having a four story hotel. Rosco musta confused four story for four star. Khee! She had no doubt the hotel would do business, but if he never made a dime on the place, he'd make up for it by the shindig that was taking place now. The square was full of people, decorations, concessions, kids running amok. It was a cheerful, carnival atmosphere, yes for a new hotel. Hazzard folk will celebrate anything. Of course, the cause of the fire that took the old building down remained suspicious even after a year. Most everybody just dismissed it as accidental. The building was old and the electrical was never brought up to current code. MaryAnne couldn't recall, however, if a cause of the fire had ever actually been determined. Nonetheless, a brand spankin' new building now stood in the spot where the old hotel had been. Hopefully, MaryAnne thought, it'll be here for another 100 years. Her fried dough eaten, MaryAnne deposited her empty plate into a nearby trash can and wiped her hands on a napkin. She then headed toward the hotel, curious to see if the inside was as grand as the outside. (cue anyone!)

Hi Gracie, welcome to HNet! I reckon fried chicken would the perfect food item at any Dukes themed shindig.

Way to go B.L.! I've posted this to the front page of HNet as well. Khee!

Yeah I've been going through the RR's and I did purge some really old dormant stuff. I've moved threads too. Do any y'all remember what you titled the story?

I wasn't able to access HNet either until about 10pm. I realized it was the server when I couldn't get to my blog, Brian's blog, a dozen of Mufn's other sites and whathaveya. LOL I will admit tho', not being able to check HNet was disparaging. You don't know how many times I hit that refresh button and would say to myself, "Why won't it load? Why won't it load?? WAAAHHH!!!" It was a long night. LOL

Well, I scored a 17. Woulda been 18 but it's been more than a couple of weeks since I've watched a DOH episode. (Heck, it's been more than a couple of weeks since I've watched an ep. of anything. LOL) Dukefan, don't fret. There are some of us here in the states that have not met any of the cast or been to a Dukesfest. But we can still be SUPAHFANS of the Dukes! Roger...great quiz!

We must have green guys roamin' around Hazzard. BL, your box is now green!

Well ya gotta be good for it to be green. If it's red, you're in trouble. LOL I believe it is now green.... amazing how that does that. Khee! Looks like you're on a distinguished road there, dukefan.

Well hey there Sheriff! Great to see you adding your voice to this discussion and I'm glad to hear ya agree! I dunno where we'd be without ya chiming in... Ah, Alex, I wouldn't get yer dander up. I'm not bothered at all if Sheriff thinks the administrators of this board bite. After all, I think Sheriff is a . In a nice way, of course.
