Then you'll have no problem with not using a shirtless James Best avatar any longer? It's a picture and kids can view it.

There have been other tragic deaths in professional wrestling entertainment. Monday June 25th – Late afternoon media reports of the tragedy. WWE aired a 3 hour tribute, half an hour before that program is over… news leak that it’s a possible double murder and suicide. More details at a 3 pm press conference the following afternoon. Tuesday June 26th – law enforcement press conference. Being investigated as a double murder and suicide not the triple murder, many were considering. WWE begins the task of removing Chris’s legacy from their website. One co worker said they would remember Chris for everything but those last few days of his life. The Chris Benoit he knew was not the monster who killed his wife and son yet left the two family dogs alive. Weeks have gone by and still false information exists. Tuesday July 17th, 2007 -The toxicology reports press conference. Empty beer cans were reported to be in a trash can or strewn across the basement floor, the media did not get clarification. Chris had no alcohol in his system. Nancy had .18, could be natural decomposition result. And even if she did have a few alcoholic beverages, that is not what caused this tragedy. Did Chris Benoit have some hidden dark side that no one knew about? A celebrity figure is not immune to having physical or physiological issues. There were prescription drugs found in the home. The couple and Daniel had Xanax in their systems. Nancy and Chris also had therapeutic levels of pain relief management in theirs. Did Chris take a substance that by the time the autopsy and toxicology specimens were being done, had left his system? “Steroids made him do it,†just seemed to easy an excuse. It’s plausible, a domestic disagreement over a schedule conflict led to Nancy’s death. Maybe Chris suffered some mental imbalance. His co workers and the few people he allowed into his life as a friend, all said he was quiet. Focused on others. It’s been commented that he was not the same after three friends passed away from November 2005 to February 2006. I understand people who still have a hard time believing Chris could have done this. Chris was known to fly home to spend time with Daniel for a few hours, in-between traveling from city to city for his work. He took four months off work when Nancy had surgery. He brought Daniel to matches, the last time seems to be two weeks before the murders. People searching for a reason that makes this easier to understand. Actually a month ago, I was one of those people. Going from website to website, news channel to news channel…awake for almost 50 straight hours. Rereading and rewatching coverage. Someone posted a few photos in 2000. Daniel less than a few days old. Nancy and Chris holding him in a hospital room. I wondered if Daniel would have a career in the business. DNA tests pertaining to crime scene evidence needs to be completed. Police must be confident in their investigation results. All three were cremated. Saturday July 14th, a memorial service was held for Nancy and Daniel. It was nice to finally hear actual people in Nancy’s current life share about her. Instead of someone who hadn’t spent any time with her or only knew her when she was active in the wrestling business, ten years ago or more. People who didn’t even know her or Daniel. The dogs are rumored to be with family friends. Something good from this tragedy… The Nancy and Daniel Benoit Foundation for Battered Women & Abused Children c/o Decker, Hallman, Barber and Briggs 260 Peachtree Street, Suite 1700 Atlanta, GA 30303 Wednesday July 18th Greta Van Susteren – Chavo Guerreo was interviewed. He was the co worker who Chris lied to on Saturday June 23rd. That detail had gotten lost in the focus on steroids. Chris also lied to a talent relations official between 5:30 – 6:00pm. Family, Friends, wrestling industry people interviewed over the last several weeks, did not object to this being labeled a double murder – suicide from the first press conference. Friday July 20th Nancy Grace – wrestling newsletter editor Bryan Alvarez made a comment about Chris destroying stuff in the home. He felt there was a reason why the steroids were left. Nancy did not ask him to explain further, it was end of the segment. Tuesday July 24th – spent 3 hours viewing segments of Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story. It was made in 2004. Wednesday July 25th – reviewed some internet forums and this document. I saw a question posted of how others would remember Chris Benoit… Chris’s actions were his own. From the pre teen who dreamed to be a professional wrestler. For 22 years, it was the only adult job he ever had. He did something very bad. Rest In Peace, Nancy and Daniel.

Last month on a General Lee forum, one of John's assistants posted. He (the assistant) would like the 30th anniversary in Atlanta. That would be nice.

Which one, Julie? Lester Crabb - Clifton James Grady Byrd - Dick Sargent Buster Moon - James Hampton. Incidentally, JH and Sonny Shroyer had parts in 1974's The Longest Yard.

Might depend on a person's definition of a family site. There was suggestion about a police officer beating a person with their nightstick... A bit violent for a family site in my opinion. I would hope people would not judge a person by a few posts on an internet forum.

How is your story for this challenge progressing? Or are you the other person besides CG to turn one in?

I prefer the swords to the frying pan. Maybe Mufn will add a snowball fighter for the holiday season?

Is he a relative of Isaiah Coltrane?

Congratulations to you and the other person on getting stories done! Summary for those who don't want to read all 94 pages: May 9th: Mufn issued challenge to be completed by June 30th. Now extended to July 31st.

CG, it might be Brian is responsible for Napoleon Dynamite and "Vote For Rosco" being on the Hazzardnet main page?

The closed captioning can be quite funky sometimes. Roger, That's interesting. Anytime I've seen Sonny's real name listed... it is Otis Burt Shroyer Jr. even on his offical website http://www.sonnyshroyer.com

Hmm. Ralph Hinkley and his magic jammies would be a bit much. Bill Maxwell...

Alex has been a and in the four years on and off that we've accquainted. He's been a decent companion. You're the first person I've ever known to accuse Alex of such behaviour. Hmmm... CG had a nice idea for the friendly wagers collection or buy a collar for Sadie like MaryAnne mentioned.

Nice playing, CG. Have you seen the Hazzardnet home page yet... there's an interactive fireworks display, Thank you - Mufn, MaryAnne and Brian for that.

<silently considers the contest might end in a draw between the fellas.>

You might be surprised that not everyone's favorite is the General Lee. Mine has always been the yellow Plymouth Roadrunner / Satelite. Second would be patrol vehicles, Miz Tisdale's dirt bike & "Dixie".

Adorable teddy bears! Will the stories be posted all at once after the challenge is complete or as they come in?

CG, MaryAnne is not the innocent everyone makes her out to be. IIRC, she once ran moonshine. I wouldn't find her dressing like Brian strange, he's not the only person in the universe to dress all in black or wear a leather jacket. And MaryAnne also once took the General Lee!

Very nice, CG!

My comment was based on CG's KIN series mention. Yeah it would.

Call me crazy... I think he could keep himself in line if the situation required it. The Brian Coltrane I've read about survived for many years in Atlanta before coming to Hazzard County.

Hil, Not a bad idea... how about this twist, MaryAnne and Rosco are also out sick or at a police convention. Brian ends up being the only "law enforcement officer" in all of Hazzard County.

Congratulations Alex and yea for the July 30th extension!

There was a little discussion on story turn in date extension. Is it still June 3Oth?
