( I hate to break the nonsense we've got going on this thread, but it looks like I have to do a moderator thang and address this issue. ) Bo James Duke: It's a story! Have a heart attack over it. It's interesting that you'll take Daney's idea and then only want your version of it, told. But she posted it on the round robin because she wanted everybody welcome to join in. Then you take the story, and only want certain people to join in, or for the story to go certain ways. And it wasn't even your concept. I don't think this is what Daney wanted to see, and this whole mess probably hurts her feelings. Nobody posts on the round robins hoping that a fight will break out. ( Unless you're me or Chet, but that's another story, literally.) There's a difference, too, between teasing and creative push-and-shove on the boards, and genuine antagonism. Don't be a brat. Brian

Fragile. This End Up. Do Not Bend.

Emma could do better than Chet, but I suppose she's attracted to the tattoos...kinda looks like he's had a run-in with a postal stamper...

*looks out the window, and frowns * And after ah've been so nice. Waaaal, if that's the way they wanna play it.... I think we'll have to make an example outta one of B.L's buddies. The next person we arrest aint' gonna get out so easily...if they git out at all...and they can thank B.L. for it. *just for dramatic effect, adds an evil laugh* HA! MUAHAHAHAHA!!

Wanted? Since when? The only poster I've seen with your name and face on it, was a fundraiser for literacy.

She won't do any such thang, she's too nice. Besides, it ain't like we singled her out. We arrested more before her, and there's more to follow. This whole law enforcement thang is a blast! Bustin' people...collectin' fines...wavin' around tickets... I'm finally diggin' what ya'll see in this. Who's next on the list of usual suspects?

10w-40 is the answer I was lookin' for. And with your promise for a case of oil bein' good, since Davenports are honest folk... I suppose I can letcha out. S' usually MaryAnne's job but she's still dealing with that towtruck. I wonder how you impound a towtruck, if there's nothin' else to tow it with.... *gets keys and unlocks door* Congratulations! Hope you enjoyed your stay!

You need a Wanted poster? For what? You know what we look like, and we're standin' right here. Besides, if I was worth fifty cents, MaryAnne would just throw a potato sack over my head and drag me in to collect it. And as a bounty hunter, you'd probably make more money turning in empty soda cans you find alongside the ditch.

Oh, don't git all dee-jected. Tell ya what. Name the right grade of oil and give us an I.O.U. for the case of it, and you'll be free to go. Your guesses are close, but I'm looking for something thicker. We're talking cast-iron block V8 motors. Try once more.

We're not greedy. A case to share is fine.

Ohh, SOMEBODY is lookin' for a repeat stay! If you're lookin' for justice, you're in the wrong town. Mayberry is thataway. This is Hazzard. Chet, a/k/a Cowboy, as a deputy? Over my dead body. Wow, that'd be a great place to cue up some dramatic music.

Waaal, lookit heah. All these people hangin' around the jailhouse. It's a good thang I came over, in case somebody's tempted to give B.L. a boost outta the cooler. Coincidently, looks like MaryAnne pulled over a towtruck outside. It was actin' mightly suspicious. Reckon we might have more guests for our county hospitality center! Which leads me to your bail, B.L. We're gonna halfta make some room so I'm gonna need you to earn your exit. Now, seein' how you're a Davenport, I'll expect you can swing this one. My car, and MaryAnne's car, take the same grade of oil as the General Lee. You'll need to supply us with a case of oil. I also need to know you'll get the right kind of oil. So, to git outta jail, tell me....what kind of oil would go into a 1969 Dodge Charger? I'm not talkin' Penzoil or Quaker State, s' got nothin' to do with brands, it's about the thickness.

S'awright, you'd never know, because I fell off the map last year and didn't keep up with it. ( My day job started taking over my life.) Which is why I appreciate people posting things as they hear about them. I just can't have everything delegated away, or Mufn will wise up and boot me off the administrator team.

Yeah, that's one of my other negleted jobs around here. Though it's premature to officially reassign this particular task. I'm not ready to turn in my keys just yet, despite popular demand. Anyhoo, thanks to everybody who posted about an upcoming appearance, because we don't want folks to miss an opportunity to meet somebody or miss a good performance. The only tidbit I have for the pile are a couple theatre gigs that Ben "Cooter' Jones has lined up in February, in Virgina. They're not Dukes events, but I'll include 'em in the homepage update, and list this other stuff too.

[quote name=Cowboy;180975 Im more of an outlaw then a Duke' date=' Ive always been shunned from the Duke clan, why should now be any different? ~Chet You been shunned by the outlaws, too.

She was let out awhile ago by MaryAnne. Can't help it if she decides to stick around anyway. Some Dukes take right naturally to prison.

Waaait a minute now. There ain't been any doublecross or mutiny. I was merely in the process of drawin' out more information, so I pretended to be interested in double-crossin' you. B'sides, you have a Davenport and a Hogg hangin' around. Either of them would make mighty easy arrestin'. If you want to see somethin' other than a Duke behind bars.

She made a great prisoner. We'll halfta do that again sometime. Well, MaryAnne, the crowbar motel awaits a new guest! Who's next in your list of warrants n' wanteds?

Which jail ? Oh, the Hazzard jail! I dunno, but it was a very long time ago, and it was over some minor misunderstanding, and it only happened once, and I'm sure it'll nevah happen again.

Not gonna happen. And in case you missed my earlier comment... THHHHBPTH!!

Naw, Chet, we're not gonna bother tryin' to catch you. 'Cause ya see, I know what makes you tick. We'll arrest all the other Dukes, and just kinda overlook you. Then, bein' the only Duke not to go to jail, you'll be an embarassment to the entire family. I mean, if you're a Duke, and you can't wind up behind bars, then your ancestry gets called into question. You'll be sad, walkin' the streets free, when every single one of your relations gets the notoriety of bein' locked up. Hell, Daney and Daisy got arrested before you! BAHAHAHAH!! You call yerself a bad guy. THHHHBTH!!

She sang the whole thang all the way through! I'd say that meets bail. Wouldn't you agree, MaryAnne?

So what? You could end up in jail a second time anyway. Might as well earn it.

What the hell would you arrest MaryAnne for? No, I don't think a citizen arrest of the Deputy is gonna be possible. *looks around quickly* But maybe we could work something out. I might be able to make an arrangement, for the right price....

I think she's enjoying her stay too! But we can't have a freeloadin' Duke in heah all weekend. Because we have others to arrest yet. KHEE! First, though, Daisy Mae's bail ! Since there was some singin' earlier, let's see if your pipes are up to the test. For your bail, Daisy Mae, I want you to sing a Dolly Parton song. You get to pick the song...just make it pretty! If you sing good enuff, you'll be free to go. Sing bad, and you'll halfa git locked up in the supply closet, since we're gonna need this cell for our next Duke. Er, I mean, lawbreaker.
