Question #6 Dobro was "LIVE from the Interchange..." Ol' Brody was watching 76 South. And Cooter was staked out on 421.

Bandit says.... "WOOF!" Translated: "Khee!" ROFL I got a chuckle from i1976 and the punk look thing. ROFL. Very easy to keep it PG-13. Just think Pat Boone (50's crooner singer) with a dog collar. What's that? You can't picture Pat Boone with a dog collar? Oh, well here...

Waalll lookie here! Welcome back Hilery! =)

Ummm..okay... are you making sure it's an image file (.jpg, .gif), it's of the demensions required and no bigger than the maxium file size allowed? I've discovered that even if the demenions are right, but the file size is too big, it'll reject. I've also discovered that if you have an image hosted off site and the file size is too big it rejects. (What the hell's up with that?) So the image HAS to be 150X150 or less and no bigger than 19.5KB.

Go to "User CP" on the upper left of the orange link bar. Click on "Edit Avatar" in the left hand column. Click "Use Custom Avatar". Then either enter the URL address for the image you want to use or upload it. Please remember the image has to fit within 150X150 size and can not be larger than 19.5KB

Although Word is preferred, we can usually work with whatever folks send us so we try to be accomodating. The way you did it was fine.

The first one? DOH! Did we miss one?? You know, I remember you posting here that you had finished one and sent it along back when the challenge was in it's early stages, but I honestly don't remember seeing it hit the webmaster inbox. Can you forward it again?

I'll admit I'm curious about the Dog Collar Challenge too. Is Bandit gonna have to write a story this time? Khee! Awright folks, the moment you've all been waiting for! The stories from the Appomattox Challenge are now posted at DOHFF! http://www.dukesofhazzardfanfic.com Or you can go straight here... http://www.dukesofhazzardfanfic.com/SubmittedFanFic/appomattox.html Again, congratulations to all and a heartfelt thank you to all who took part. I love it when the town rallies to a cause.

He says "Hee Haw salutes my hometown of Valdosta, Georgia, population 40,321....2.....3?" Then that classic Enos grin. Then everybody in the cornfield says "SALUTE!" Incidentally I can't remember the exact number for the population but I know it was forty thousand something. LOL Khee!

We're gonna work to get things posted up by this weekend. For the record, I know your story came through because I saw it come through twice. Khee! Now...Mufn. Dog Collar Challenge? Oh lawdy! LOL

Fair is fair, cousin. I'd say we've evened up things for now. Heh heh! Truce and cousinhood. And shenanigans as usual. KHEE!

Brian posted: And since I'm not making any signifigant changes to HazzardNet, I'm sure that goes for you too....right? Hmmm....well, now that you mention it I've considered a few minor changes to things here at HNet. I was thinkin' your avatar could use an update. Something like a pic of the County Sheriff's patch (or we can use the Atlanta one if you prefer). Or a new title for you. Instead of Lord of the Outlaws, how about Lord of the Lapdogs? We still have the dog collar around somewhere don't we...? I've also noticed you don't use a signature. Maybe I could come up with something for ya. A nice pic of a Chevy? We all know you dig Chevys. How about a nice Chevy.....Caprice? You'd like that wouldn't you? Hmm....so many things to consider....

Ooooo!! TEN?! Or rather... NINE?! KHEEHAAAA!! I'd definetly say the community has spoken. Very clearly I might add. Khee!! A very big thank you to all of you who wrote a story. Your efforts are greatly appreciated! Now, Brian, admit it. You'd have missed my subtle motivators. More 'r less because I wouldn'ta been so subtle. And speakin' of motivators, since the chain of command remains as it has, I should put you to work getting those stories ready to be posted....

Well, that depends on how well we faired here. If I retain my badge, I'll be posting the stories up by this weekend. If I've lost my badge and am at the mercy of Brian and he dictates what tasks I'm to do, I'll be posting the stories up by this weekend, more 'n likley.

You don't post that tally soon, you'll be the one that's nervous and edgy.....

Good melodrama? Look who's talkin'! (Heck, look who is talkin'. ROFL) Cousin, you've had some 24 hours to add up those stories. "Somebody's stallin'. Stallin' makes me nervous...."

Well either them fireworks are celebretory that I've retained my badge, or they're for the final farewell. Awright, cousin, ya got half the town here on the edge of their seats. What's the verdict?????????????????

Khee! That was kewl. LOL. I noticed there were some other Sonny clips too, even one from the show "Enos" with Michelle Pfieffer (I think I spelt that right).

Thanks everyone! Yes, it's been a good day. I've managed to avoid all ponds and trees. Khee!! A rootbeer float is sounding good right about now....

Actually Brian has a point about turning in a story himself. Even tho' I put myself on the line as well in the Bail Bond Challenge, I didn't write a story as it would have been a conflict o' interest. A real noble gesture this time around would be for Brian to lose all rank and privilege same as me. But then....that would put a damper on the whole point of this challenge to begin with. Of course, all three of us could put our heads collectively on the chopping block and if an insufficient number of stories are turned in, we just turn out the lights and say "so long HNet!" Wow. Talk about a motivator. Why didn't we think of that one four weeks ago? ROFL Anyway, I think people are secretly hoping for regime change, they just don't want to admit to spare my feelings. I think most folks would rather see Brian run amok around here and see me reduced to lackey status. Wait a minute. Doesn't Brian already runs amok around here and I'm already at lackey status?

Brian? King of All HazzardNet? Oh please let me join in the bowing here... *bows to Brian* Salami, Salami, Baloney...

The NAACP stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It's an organization whose mission is to help ensure that black people in the US are treated fairly and equally. The NAACP does many great things and has done many great things in the past to ensure that blacks are treated equally in this country. The US has a very painful and difficult history when it comes to the treatment of black people but a lot has changed for the good over the past several decades. Unfortunately, the Confederate flag remains an issue and as Brian said, it's been debated for years and years. For years the NAACP has fought for the complete and total removal of the Confederate flag from just about everything. So much so that several southern states made changes to their state flags (Georgia being an example) due to the pressure from the NAACP. This is not the first time the NAACP has picked on the Dukes in particular, with regards to the flag, but this is the first time I've heard them refer to the whole show racist. When the first reunion movie was being filmed, the NAACP wanted the television network to remove the flag from the roof of the General. CBS politely declined, despite the NAACP's call for boycott. THIS time tho', I think they're going waaay too far. Like Brian pointed out, it is alarming that one group can have so much power as to stop John and Tom from performing simply because the NAACP thinks the Dukes was racist, which it was not. Where does it go from there? Are they going to try to ban Lynyrd Skynyrd from performing because they've used the rebel flag on their album covers and as part of their stage shows? Will the country band Alabama be blacklisted for the same thing? How about Confederate Railroad for having the audacity to call themselves <i>Confederate</i> Railroad? More than that, this could set a dangerous precendent for some other organization put pressure on a performing arts place, or orchestra or theatre to stop other performers from performing because some group thinks their material is offensive? Or stop other performers from performing because of past connections to something that the group deems offensive? Will the National Organization of Women actively work to stop various rap artists from performing because their song lyrics sometimes degrade women? Will Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe" be banned from the radio because it talks about the killing of a woman? Think about it. The further this goes, it would reach a point where all music would be banned, all television programs taken off the air and all live performances would stop because, oh my god, SOMEBODY would be offended. Gah. Ya know....I'm offended. LOL. And I'm gonna step off my soap box now and perhaps use some of what I just said in my own email to the Pops.

I do! Khee!

Too bad Cooter didn't keep that S&H car. It woulda been funny if Bo and Luke had to borrow that car every once in awhile while the General was bein' fixed. ROFL Heck, there's one episode where Bo says "You know I'm startin' to feel like I'm on Starsky and Hutch."

I can't believe I haven't chimed in on this question. Tho' I think my answer is pretty obvious.... Flash! Oh, no wait...heh heh. Rosco. I love Enos to pieces, don't get me wrong, but if I had to choose one, it'd be Rosco. Somebody mentioned in an earlier post about Enos's moral dilemma with being honest and having to adhere to Boss's wants and wishes sometimes, even if it meant having to arrest his friends. I think Rosco could've had his own moral dilemma with having once been honest and then going crooked, but the writers decided to whitewash Rosco's past and not go that route. Which is too bad, because it would've made for some good storylines without sacraficing anything of the Rosco we came to know and love. Have I ever mentioned that it's reasons like that that I like fanfic? Khee!
