HazzardNet

A brand spankin’ new month means a brand spankin’ new fan of the month!

After careful consideration, RogerDuke has made his selection for Fan of the Month and the lucky fan is DaisyMaeDuke!

The o-fficial announcement is as follows:

“If there was a dictionary of Hazzard County words and you looked up the word “fanatic” there’s no doubt you would find a picture of DaisyMaeDuke beside it. Because of her pure love and devotion to the greatest television show in history, we are awarding her HazzardNet’s fan of the month for December. If you’re not already sitting down, you’d better do it now because reading the list of Daisy’s accomplishments is going to take awhile.

Daisy was born at a very early age…. I apologize for the bad joke…..Well, she did become a Dukes fan at a very early age. When she was just 5 years old she got hooked on the show when it was originally being aired. Little did anyone know at the time that that cute little rug rat would go on to receive the highest honor possible. At DukesFest 2008, Daisy was justly selected as “The Ultimate Duke Fan”.

Daisy joined the HazzardNet on July 8, 2007 and this place hasn’t been the same since. She has over 5,300 posts since that time and has been involved in countless Round Robins and Role Plays. But, what Daisy really specializes in is Fanfics. She has written or co-written a long list of them including, Dukes in Danger, Lost, A Hazzard County Christmas, Turkey Surprise, I’ll be Home for Christmas, Witness, Switch, The Gift of the Magi-Dukes Stlye and Letters from War Series.

Daisy can very often be found frequenting the various threads on the trivia forum. She usually gets them right!! In fact, she has a prestigious record that will likely never get broken. In mid June 2009, she had answered over 300 Duke or Dupes correctly before missing one. To illistrate how amazing of an accomplishment that is, try going to Duke or Dupe after reading this and getting all three right. If you can pull off all 3 now try it 103 times for a total of 309 in a row. Answering that many is an accomplishment. Answering them correctly is impossible…well, almost.

Daisy has met nearly every living star of the show in real life, many of them multiple times. That list of stars includes Bo, Luke, Daisy, Rosco, Cooter, Enos, Cletus, Coy and even Sheriff Big Ed Little. She owns one of the largest collections of Dukes memorbilia in existence with way too many items to list but no doubt, every single one of them is special to her.

A resident of Michigan (Go Wolverines) Daisy has been happily married for 13 years and keeps busy with her two kids and her job in public education. Her favorite singers are (you guessed it) John Schneider and Tom Wopat. Her favorite Christmas show is (you guessed it again) “Christmas Comes To Willow Creek” staring John Schneider and Tom Wopat. Even Cletus Hogg would be smart enough to see a trend here. Speaking of trends, we’re predicting Daisy will be around the HazzardNet for many years to help us continue a the trend we have here of honoring our favorite television show. We almost hate to call it a “television show” because it’s so much more to us…..and that’s not just because of what we see on the screen. It’s also because of the strong bond we have here as a HazzardNet family. Folks like Daisy make the foundation for that family.”

Amen! Congrats DaisyMae on this deserving recognition!

Well, folks it’s a new month and that means a new Fan O’ the month!

We gotta admit, this kind of regularity is rare at HNet. Obviously we did right by selecting Roger Duke for this task. We might have to consider handing over the newsletter duties, regular front page updates, and half a dozen other tasks to Roger as well. Khee!

In the meantime, this month’s Fan O’ the Month is daisydukeXenosstrait.

Roger’s direct dictation reads…

“Congratulations to daisyxenos for being selected as the Fan of the Month for November 2009!!

It’s pretty impressive that someone can receive this honor after only being a member of the HazzardNet for 15 months but daisyxenos is an impressive fan. She’s certainly put up some impressive numbers. At the time of the posting of this award, she has typed a HazzardNet record nearly 30,000 posts. Granted, not all of those posts have been in-depth essays but the numbers are staggering.

Some days here on the HazzardNet are busier than others but one thing we can always count on is daisyxenos’s consistency. Her dedication to this website is legendary and her love of The Dukes of Hazzard is indisputable.

Daisyxenos is involved in dozens of threads on the HN. She has started numerous threads including “Beer for my Horses” and “Michael Knight meets the Dukes of Hazzard.” She has been involved in many Round Robins and Role Plays with creative ideas and names including “Sweating for the County”, “Dukes meet the Clampetts”, “Watermellon Crawl” and “God is Great, Beer is Good, People are Crazy.”

You can find her posts just about anyplace here on the HN. Besides RRs and RPs, some of her other favorite places are Trivia, Duke or Dupe and Musical Chairs. In addition, she is involved in 21 HazzardNet social groups. Truly, this place is her second home.

Daisyxenos hails from the country of Texas (Well, we might as well call it a country, it’s so huge and the people there are proud and independent). She is a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns and, like most Texans, loves country music.

She certainly has been a welcome addition to the HazzardNet and we sure hope she stays around a long time. This place wouldn’t be the same without her. We need more youngsters like her to keep the tradition of The Dukes of Hazzard alive forever and pass the torch on to future generations.”

The last sentence alone sums it up the best. Congratulations daisyXenos from all of us at HNet!
