  1. How Big is Your Dukes Obsession??

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Waaalll lessee...I saw the show in it's original run (at least, the last three seasons of it) and was very very very upset when it got cancelled in 1985. I learned to hate tv networks at a young age. LOL

    When TNN brought the show back in 1996, I was able to make up for lost time. Khee! Loved the show all over again and it ain't changed since!

    Although K-Duke15, I know exactly how ya feel. I can remember back in '96 or so - I was in college - a friend of mine from highschool was going to the same local college I was. And he comes waltzin' into the computer lab and sees me on the computer, checking this new fangled thing called the internet and looking at a Dukes of Hazzard website (I believe it was Mufn's "Hazzard County Sheriff's Dept" site. Khee!) and he says to me...

    "The Dukes of Hazzard was over a long time ago."

    I more or less gave him "that look" and said, "Yeah? So?" LOL Of course, as we all know the Dukes have never been "over."

    I've written fanfiction. I have the DVDs, some posters, some toys. A Dukes poster on my wall. General Lee 1:18 die cast car sitting on the shelf here. Original Ertl matchbox size cars from the early 80's on the other shelf here (they're a might dusty. Probably oughta dust this stuff more often. Heh!)

    I've got some autographed photos thanks to all my wonderful friends and cousins who were fortunate enough to attend the various DukesFests over the years (I have not been able to). And I've got other various DOH themed doodads and whatnots.

    A fan? Me? Yah, I reckon I am! Probably up on that scale around the 10 mark. Khee!

    Thankfully, folks like Mufn wanted to do crazy stuff like build websites dedicated to the Dukes of Hazzard. And folks like me and Brian have been privileged enough to help build the site and community so lots of folks have a place to talk about their favorite obsession! :D

  2. Cooter's Tow Truck

    A man's truck is his castle! As Cooter would say. :D Great job Hoss!

    Of all the different trucks Cooter used on the show (and we all know he used many different ones!) this (and the earlier blue and white Ford) are the one's I think of when I picture "Cooter's tow truck."

    Christmas!! This calls for a random act of caroling! And now, I give you, to the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland".....uh, somethin' else.

    Doorbell rings, I'm not list'nin',

    From my mouth, drool is glist'nin',

    I'm happy -- although

    My boss let me go --

    Happily addicted to the Web.

    All night long, I sit clicking,

    Unaware time is ticking,

    There's beard on my cheek,

    Same clothes for a week,

    Happily addicted to the Web!

    Friends come by; they shake me, Saying, "Yo, man!

    Don't you know tonight's the senior prom?"

    With a listless shrug, I mutter "No, man;

    I just discovered laugh-a-lot-dot-com!"

    I don't phone, don't send faxes,

    Don't go out, don't pay taxes,

    Who cares if someday, they drag me away?

    I’m happily addicted to the Web

    I'm happily addicted to the Web!

    Happ-ily, ad-dict-ed to the Web!!!

    I think I'm gonna have this version stuck in my head now... LOL

  14. A Few Good Bad Guys

    in Round Robin Stories

    Posted

    *hears the question from Daney then looks up just as the office door opens and MaryAnne comes out...sighs a little then nods* I hear you Deputy, I know I need a drink about now.

    *Grips the bars and clears throat* Do you think Brian is all right? *asks quietly, dark eyes gazing at the uniformed Deputy, trying to keep a positive frame of mine but can't help but be worried, knowing that MaryAnne must be too...*

    "I hope so, Alex..."

    *Time ticked away slower than MaryAnne thought possible. All in all it was about an hour, maybe a little more that had passed. It might as well have been enternity.*

    *When Brian's voice came over the CB airwaves - first to call Cooter for a tow truck than a call to her - MaryAnne leaped across the booking room and ran up the short steps to the booking area. She grabbed at the CB and answered her cousin.*

    "Brian! Are you okay?"

    *Yeah, he was okay. Jack too, apparently. And they were on their way to the Boar's Nest.*

    "The Boar's Nest?" MaryAnne blurted. Seriously? After all that...?

    *Brian didn't say anything more, just for her to meet them there. She said she would and tried to think what the strongest bottle of booze there was behind the bar. She figured it was gonna be needed.*

    *She hung up the CB mike and turned to leave, but then stopped and looked back at Alex. She then walked back to the jail cell and unlocked the door.*

    "Somehow I have the feelin' that holdin' you for stealin' Jack's car is a moot point now. So you're free to go." *She paused.* "I can't believe those two didn't kill each other..." *MaryAnne hung up the key and turned, hurrying out of the booking room.*

    *When she got the Boar's Nest, MaryAnne spotted Diablo parked out front, banged up pretty good. She could only imagine what Jack's car looked like considering Brian's call to Cooter to pick it up. MaryAnne pulled up next to the black Chevy and got out of her patrol car.*

    *She pushed through the front door of the Boar's Nest and paused, looking around. There, sitting at a table, with a beer for each, were Brian and Jack. Both were unscathed and appeared to be talking civilly to one another. Of all the choices they could have made, peace seems to have won out. She was surprised, yet relieved to see it that way. As she watched them for a moment, neither one having noticed her arrival, she smiled with some pride. There was no doubt in her mind who Hazzard's best "bad guy" was...even if he's really one of the good guys these days. He may never admit it, but he didn't have to. Actions clearly spoke louder than words.*

    *Still smiling, MaryAnne walked over to the table to join them...*

    (Friends and neighbors, I think we can call this one a wrap. Ya think? :))

    I don't know about the car Cooter's working on in Daisy's Song, but I can say this about the Starsky & Hutch car. After S&H premiered and became quite popular, Ford actually produced Grand Torinos with that specific paint scheme, so my guess is it was probably found locally and used in filming. You're correct though that it's only seen in that first episode.

  19. HOSSC HAPPY BIRTHDAY, enjoy this great day friend.

    Happy birthday Hoss and thanks for all you do. I love you like a brother....well, maybe not that much.

    I love you like a third cousin's uncle, twice removed from my wife's half-sister's divorced step father's neighbor's grandson's twice removed brother-in-law's brother from another mother's 12 year old bassett hound's (the one that only has three legs) vetrenarian's step-son.

    You're a hard act to follow in the mush and sentiments department, Roger. ;)

  21. What are you thankful for?

    in HazzardNet Family

    Posted

    I'm thankful for my family and my HNet family, my cousins Mufn and Brian and for all y'all here. I'm thankful for the CBS executives who took the punches, literally, to put this lil' ol' show on the air back in 1979. Who knew? :)

    There's so much more I could put here, as the past year has really been something for Mufn, Brian and for myself, as we've each dealt with various challenges. And yet we've endured and like the old song goes, "we're carrying on like we did before..."

    So when I sit down at my family's table this year, we will have much to be thankful for. And at the HNet Thanksgiving table, there's still more to be thankful for.

    I wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!

    "No longer forward nor behind

    I look in hope or fear;

    But, grateful, take the good I find,

    The best of now and here."

    -John Greenleaf Whittier-

    I've got to be honest...this thread greatly disgusts me and to see it linked to the Dukes is even more disturbing. And no, I did NOT click the link. This is a clean site about a clean show full of family values and this is what it does to it? Very disturbing to me.

    The topic is presented as an FYI, Garrett, not as any approval, support or promotion of the parody on HNet's part. I think HNet staff has made their opinion on it pretty clear in this thread. We remain true to the original. If this stuff is out there than being aware of it (and thus you can bypass it and ignore it) is better than having stumble on it by accident such as Emy did.

    Poor Emy will be afraid to look in a bargain DVD bin the same way again! LOL

    I clicked the link and it's simply a bad remake of the opening credits of the Dukes only it's for this cheeseturd --er, I mean "hardcore" version. Trust me y'all, there's nothing in the clip that's any worse than what we saw in the '05 movie.

    That being said... that clip was awful! My condolences to whoever loaned them the General Lee for this thing tho'... I wonder if they really knew what they were contributing to.
