This is awesome Zech. Thanks for sharing it. I hope John Schneider saw it! 

There's an old thread where people re-wrote Christmas songs with "Duke-ified" lyrics.

This is the only one I found, share any others you may know.

Here's a little reminder of Tom in 'Blackadder'. For anyone unfamiliar with Edmund Blackadder, you may know Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean.
 

Or just a coincidence. It's hardly surprising that one of the over 1300 passengers on board feared something like this happening. 

Actually it's ( if you're white) it's African American Friday! ( Ya gotta be P.C>!.....politically correct!) LOL! ) Of course if you're African American, you can say the "B " word, the " C " word or even the terrible, awful " N " word!! But if you're white.....African American is the correct term! ....LOL! ( Just messing with you guys!)   

Well, I got laid off due to a client bankruptcy and the tech sector job market is pretty terrible right now. Gotta make some money and keep HazzardNet running somehow. 

Hoss wow! 😲 

Black Friday makes even less sense over here because we don't have Thanksgiving. I think the madness of a few years ago has gone now. The electrical shops had a few reduced items which I'm sure they bought in specially, and several clothes shops had 20% off certain lines, but no massive bargains or fights.

I hope you folks had a good day. We didn't go anywhere. Watched some football and watched a lot of snow fall. 

Happy Thanksgiving Hazzard County! 🦃 

Black Friday don't make sense to me. 😂 Do you wanna know why? Everyone rushes out to the stores and pummel each other to get deals on stuff, after having just given thanks for all that they're thankful for the day before. 😂

I saw this 'Home Alone' meme recently.

That was a good post cousin. If you need me, simple pm me and we will set something up or just pm back/forth.  You know you've always had my heart over this!

I went through a rough time 2 years ago when my daughter was killed and posted about it here. I knew it would depress folks but I also knew they cared enough that they wanted me to cry on their shoulders. People here genuinely care so go ahead and vent anytime, so long as you realize there is only so much we can do. You are a Dukes fan and we are family because of it. If anybody here gets tired of you venting (I doubt that will happen) they can simply stop reading this thread. 
BTW to you other folks, the guy who killed my daughter just got out of prison after service 6 months for vehicular manslaughter. 

Yes, we all miss Garrett! Hey bud! I hope you see this and come back soon! ( I sure hope nothing bad has happened!)

Garrett's Bears beat my Steelers by three points today and the Bears are having a great year. Where are you Garrett? You should be here to tease me about beating the Steelers. 
I looked up to see how the Bears got their name. The Cubs already existed and the Bears owner George Hallas thought football players were bigger, tougher and stronger than baseball players so went with Bears.......now known as DaBears.

I want to apologize for my swearing, I tried to censor myself best I could, but you can only be so polite when angry.
I would also like to apologize for dumping all of this on you without posting much, I just wasn't sure where else to post it, people don't really interact with me much anywhere else
And I want to thank all of you for your kind words. I understand that not much can help in a random forum I found, but sometimes just seeing a reply notification can help loads

I obviously hear so many US voices that I don't really notice the difference in pronunciation with the name George.

I saw some short videos yesterday of young Americans returning to the US after brief visits to Europe, and the most important thing they could find to say was that in "The Land of the Free" they could remove the caps from their soda bottles. For the last couple of years our plastic soda and water bottles have had caps which remain tethered to the bottles so the whole lot can get recycled. In Ireland we also pay a deposit on each bottle (15c or 25c depending on size) which we get back when they are returned to a store for recycling. The caps can still be separated easily if it's really too much to deal with, but you get used to them pretty quickly. I find it particularly odd that this should be such an issue for young Americans since when I visited the US in the early 80s you guys had soda cans with ring pulls which stayed attached while on our cans they were still separate and were often just thrown away!

This video is now two years old, but the comparison of food prices and availability is still valid. The lady in the video spends six months of the year in the UK and six months in Texas, and the comparison is between Tesco in the UK and Kroger in the US.
 

Documented with pictures and a location link in the Hazzard Square thread.

I've never bought anything on the internet  but my wife has bought things for me before. It's amazing what you can buy there. 
What was Rosco's Mama's quote?
"You mean you got a girl out of a machine? Lordy, what will they think of next?" 

My granddaughter loved Peppa Pig when she was little (she's 14 now) and because of that she always pronounced George with a British accent. So anytime she would say George she would say it with that accent, not knowing it was an accent. It took us awhile to figure out she wasn't faking the accent but really thought that is how it supposed to be pronounced (here).

Recently, I've been watching a lot of "Americans React to" videos on YouTube. In the ones I watch they're mainly reacting to British/Irish TV shows and stand-ups, but a few are more general videos looking at the differences between us, i.e. two nations divided by a common language. It appears that while the Brits and Irish have been consuming US TV shows (Dukes included) and cultural reference points for decades, the exchange doesn't get far in the opposite direction. Many British TV shows just get remade for the US market with widely varying results. Sometimes it seems that only Peppa Pig is flying the flag!

The result appears to be that British/Irish TV shows and culture often leave Americans baffled with phrases which simply haven't crossed to the US. I thought I'd post some of the source videos, with this first one just being about how we say and use numbers differently (and it doesn't even mention Americans writing dates the wrong way around! ). Look out for a brief Dukes reference about 2/3 of the way through.
BTW. To count seconds I was taught to say "a thousand and one, a thousand and two" etc. I've also heard of the "one Mississippi, two Mississippi" method, but none of the others in this video.

I DO have a degree in Psychology but like Roger said, it's hard to help over the computer.  We are......nevertheless, here for you/with you! 

Wow! That is a lot....and none of it good. We care about you and are concerned, but I'm sure you know there is only so much we can do on forums like these.
It sure sounds like you need more help than internet friends can provide so I suggest you reach out to local organizations that can help. If you don't know where to go maybe you can contact your county health department and they can point you in the right direction. 
Churches also can offer help but if you aren't inclined to go that route I understand. We have all been at low points in our lives and talking about it is always the most important step to get better and that means face to face counseling with someone who is trained to help. Please seek out a person like that and keep us updated.
