the love of my life!

It's official. I have fallen in love .... with the Dukes of Hazzard, that is. Perhaps some of you know this. Perhaps some of you (Patrick!) have recently read about my affinity for these Georgia boys of old. But I wanted to make it official and to update others who have been spreading rumors about me (Max!).

Of course, I'm talking about the original Dukes: Tom Wopat, John Schneider. Even Catherine Bach.

I have compiled a list of reasons for the development of my affiinity:
1. We have the ORIGINAL Dukes card game. Unfortunately, we don't have the instructions, so no one's exactly sure how to play.
2. The show and I share the same sense of humor.
3. Bo and Luke Duke. Seriously, what female is not attracted to a character who has a rhyming name?
4. I can check out Season 1 and Season 2 from the Hays Public Library for FREE.
5. I'm only 20 years behind in liking them.
6. The General. 'Nuff said.
7. I own Season 3.
8. "Enos, this is your superior officer, Roscooo P. Coltrane. You got your ears on?"
9. Daisy Duke of yesteryear wore more clothes than Jessica Simpson.
10. The wisdom of Uncle Jesse. I'm surprised there's not a book called "Everything I Know About (insert event here), I Learned From Uncle Jesse." Perhaps there is such a book. I should google it.
11. The episode where Rosco tries to slide across the car hood like Bo and Luke always do, but he rolls onto the ground. Ha Ha!
12. Boss Hogg's speed traps always seem to trap the best entertainment, especially the Oak Ridge Boys. (wink, wink ... Nancy, Donna)

Yep, so just making the list and checking it twice has made me want to watch the Dukes. I guess I'll have to.

P.S. The only downer to this love: I heard on the radio that Tom Wopat was arrested for a DUI in New Jersey recently. Too bad Hazzard County isn't reality.
