RESOLVED – To bring back the Christmas Club. I pissed off Best Buy when I did it before.

Right about now, dem’ Duke boys done got themselves in a mess that even Uncle Jesse can’t get them out of.

I will admit to watching The Dukes of Hazzard on Friday nights a long, long time ago. Maybe it was the formulaic routine of the show – Duke boys get mixed up in something, Duke boys try to outfox Sheriff Roscoe and Boss Hogg, Duke boys jump their orange ’69 Dodge Charger over some riverbed, and…
