A Most Exciting Chatr

All of you who are fans of Peter Deuel have surely heard of C. Davey Utter and Don Fanning. If not....they were two of Peter's dearest friends who knew him before he was famous. They knew the real Peter, his strengths his weaknesses, his good side and his bad. Yesterday I was among a privileged few who got to chat with these two gentlemen on the Pete Duel/Ben Murphy Fans facebook group page. They graciously agreed to join the group long enough to share some memories and stories and let us ask them a few questions about our beloved Peter.

It was a very emotional time for me and for all the ladies who got to take part in the chat. I know it is the closest I will ever come to actually speaking with Peter and that made it a very surreal and moving moment for me. I was on such an emotional high afterwards that I felt like I could lift cars with my bare hands. A giddy happiness, seemed to permeate into my soul and I was just floating all day long. It was one of the best moments of my life, getting to speak with two people who actually walked and talked and touched my idol. I will never forget it.

Alas, today, I am feeling the crash of yesterday's high. I feel wiped out. But that's okay because it was worth it. I know I have not made it a secret that I believe Peter's spirit is around those of us who love him, and I know he was there yesterday, listening in on the conversation and laughing right along with us. If you're out there somewhere reading this, Snake Pants and Fautch, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the experience of a lifetime.

Peace, love and dimpled smiles,
Karen
Love you, Peter :')

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. It is entirely dedicated to my fanfiction story about Hannibal Heyes finding a true love. Everything here is somehow AS&J related. If you're an "Alias Smith and Jones" Fan, everything on my blog is familiar to you. If you're not a fan or you've never heard of "Alias Smith and Jones" or Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, I hope visiting my blog will introduce you to them and make you a fan. And just to let everyone know, while I adore the show and both characters my loyalty always has and always will lie with Pete Duel's Hannibal Heyes. I have always been and will always be an unapologetic, faithful, unwavering, die hard fan of Pete's and his character.

Karen's Favorites ~ My Favorite AS&J Episodes and why

Here's a list of my top 10 favorite episodes and one of the things about each one that makes it a favorite. I have added more than one for the top three. I could probably make a whole other blog about why I love my top 3. But I'll try to keep it short here.

10. "The Pilot" The "Walk off" scene is exquisite.

9. "Journey from San Juan" Heyes is unwaiveringly adorable throughout. "Captain McRavish"

8. "Stagecoach 7" Heyes shoots his gun! (and if you watch really close, he gets his shots off a whole lot quicker than Kid)

7. "Wrong Train to Brimstone" The synchronized hoist up into the train car. And Pete looks fabulous in this one.

6. "Jailbreak at Junction City" "...somethin' smells around here." "Maybe the way you play poker."

5. "Smiler With a Gun" The boys collapsing onto each other in exhaustion - fantastic acting.

4. "The Day They Hanged Kid Curry" I can't pick just one moment. I think the whole episode is hilarious.

3. "The Reformation of Harry Briscoe" Lots of Heyes on horseback. The chaps. "If either of you boys would care to join us in the fellowship of evening prayer..." and the entire scene that follows. "Mr. Smiff." Shoshone. Heyes defends a woman! "It's Smith sweetheart." "I get terrible claustrophobee!"

The dive behind the bush. Kid takes four hits before losing at blackjack.

2. "The Bounty Hunter" Lots of Heyes on horseback. The chaps....oh, God the chaps. The bear hug. From "Heyes, look what's goin' on down there." to "Let's not make it a habit" is perfection. Especially getting to see Heyes use his gun. "Wait 'til I tell you. Alright, get down." Heyes' entire story about the mayor's daughter and the church suits and the wedding cake...absolutely perfect and hilarious. Heyes and Kid's explanation as to why it's inconceivable that they could be the notorious outlaws. The boys are willing to risk their own necks to report the injustice of what happens to Joe.

1. "The Posse That Wouldn't Quit" Lots of Heyes on horseback. Heyes in his undies. Heyes sings. The Kid shows off his nice butt and his shooting skill. The horse race to the picnic spot. The girls and their crushes. The love that grows between our boys and this family. "Did you have an Apache with you?" "Must be the entire devil's hole gang." "Hang little girls." The Kid looses yet another coin toss. The only time we ever hear Kids full name "Jedediah Curry. Shoshone and Carroll. Heyes in disguise as an unruly drunk. And OMG, when he says "Don't move a hair boys," his voice is so deep and sexy I can hardly take it.

"I got rid of my mustache, why don't you get rid of yours?" Heyes tosses his tattered old hat into the air and it lands on the street as they speed off into the next episode. The only thing that could have made this episode better would have been the boys wearing chaps and Heyes shooting his Smith and Wesson.
