In Psychology, it's a neurotic disorder, called a " Generalized Anxiety Disorder". I have this myself!

Not sure if I have it word for word, but it goes something like this:
Boss: Oh, she was dippin' in the public till, was she? Oh my oh my. Is that what some people do?
Rosco in the background: Ohhh, some people!
Boss: Why, I never heard of such a thing!
Rosco: Of course you have Boss. We do it all the time.
Boss: Would you please!

Skipper Duke got a reaction from Hobie Hartkins in Mistakes (Bloopers)/Things I've Noticed About The Show
I caught a mistake in Mary Kaye's Baby and one in Hughie Hogg Strikes Again. The MKB one is during the chase with McQuade & Leo. Luke is driving, then Bo. It doesn't show them make a switch. The HHSA one is Bo driving in the opening scene, and then it's Luke when Hughie in the motorhome runs them into the drink.

The infamous country I got right, but didn't realize there was an extra "z" in there. Or as the British say... zed.

Glad you guys are giving these a go. On the A-Z quiz I got 17/26 the first time, although it was more like 17/24 because I didn't know the president or the 'infamous' country (note to self: revise US presidents and geography). Thought I had it licked, but still only got 24 the second time around. Third time lucky - a couple of days on and I finally got 26/26. I guess lost_sheep was right - practise (practice) makes perfect .

Pizza means mozzarella cheese! Hot, gooey, bubbly cheese....
The best way to grow pizza is to dial up an order for delivery. Extra cheese.

Skipper Duke reacted to HossC in Stereotypes
From the country that now thinks pizza is a vegetable, this does not surprise me. Can anyone tell me the best way to grow pizzas, I'm not sure if the climate in Ireland is suitable .

Ok, I'll look for Wallace and Gromit on the label. I might have tried a knock-off brand, or again maybe it was just old.
There's a number of cheese stores n' gourmet food shops in my area, so I'm sure I can find it and maybe some of these other ones.
Spray can cheese is not cheese. And I hate to say it, but "American" cheese makes me cringe. That's not cheese. It's mostly oil.
(inside cheese monger tip: if it contains "milk protein concentrate" or "whey protein concentrate", those ingredients are industrial waste products that are salvaged from the inside of dairy production hoses and the like. It's not, technically, recognized as a food, but the FDA has been looking the other way on this for years. Check the labels of everything from Cheetos, Doritos, to Junior Mints to Cheez Whiz, to cream cheese, and sour cream packages. It's becoming harder to avoid. This cheap substitute for real milk has contributed to the collapse of raw milk prices and has led to the loss of family farms around the U.S.)
Ahem. Pardon the soap box there, but cheese is a food of the gods and should not be trifled with.
Dang, I'm gonna halfta break into the block of sharp cheddar I was saving. I need to think about something other than cheese for ten minutes.

Genuine Wensleydale is only made in (you guessed it) Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, England. The name to look for would be Wensleydale Creamery.
The manufacturers are trying to get 'Protected designation of origin' for Yorkshire Wensleydale, which would mean an end to manufacturers from outside the area using the name - for the time being your Wensleydale may have been made elsewhere. Other cheeses like Dorset Blue Vinney already have this protection (it's a great accompaniment to Dorset Knobs, but that's another story ). Incidentally, the cheese rolling in the T-Mobile commercial is based on a real annual event where a round of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled down Cooper's Hill near Gloucester with competitors chasing after it - read all about it here.
I found some websites that offer British/Irish cheese in the US - I have no idea how good they are:
www.igourmet.com
www.finecheese.co.uk
somerdale.co.uk
I was given a can of 'spray cheese' once, but I never dared to open it, although it did allow me to authentically recreate
.It's good to know that coyotes don't like smelly cheese - I'll leave some outside if they ever give me any trouble .

I love that two-can trailer. Yeehaaw!
Not sure what bar ya found in your google search Hoss, but evah-dently St. Practice Day is all over the place! Meanwhile, my local Irish tater restaurant has this on the menu:
Traditional Bangers and Mash
Irish brats slow cooked in Guinness beer and then fried with thin layer of olive oil to produce awe inspiring bangers on a mountain of mashed potatoes,topped with onion gravy.
Now, this might be a stretch, 'cause I don't think the Irish brought bratwurst recipies with them to the New World. But I wasn't there at the time, so who knows.
MaryAnne, you got a good point about the British and cheese. Which made me remember "Wallace and "Gromit" as another fine export from across the pond. Which, after watching an episode, led me to try some Wendslydale cheese. And no disrespect to our British cousins, but...it was like eating plaster. I've sampled dry cheeses before, but man alive, this stuff was like baked clay. Could have been the brand, (it was imported but I can't remember the label) but I haven't found the will to try it again.
Now I have to take a break here and go raid the fridge. I've got a nice block of colby that's suddenly on my mind.

Since you asked Hoss (on your bottom line) I do have a stereotypical opinion of Irish and English people....
The ones who like The Dukes of Hazzard are smart and the ones who don't like Dukes are stupid.
Hmmmm, now that I think about it, I have that same opinion of folks from every country.

Skipper Duke reacted to Brian Coltrane in HazzardNet app for iPhone
Some of ya'll were recently asking if we had an app for mobile devices. Mufn reminded me that we do have an app for iPhones. It's free and you can download it from iTunes. Just do a search for "hazzardnet" on the iTunes app section.
Please note that if you don't already have iTunes installed, you'll need to do the free download first. Then do your search.
At this time, we don't have a universal mobile app, such as thru android. That's a whole different can of corn. We apologize for any inconvenience. Meanwhile, we hope that the iPhone app helps some of you out.
Thank you, as always, for your input and comments, as it helps us with future planning for HazzardNet!

After more than 10 years on HNet, I decided to change my signature last week - it's another Waylon quote. Just curious if any of y'all noticed?

Maybe they just gave up Dukes for Lent. But I'd think that would be almost sacrilegious. LOL.
