Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys

Yesterday I was watching an episode of Will and Grace where Jack said, "Good work, Nancy Drew. Let's meet up at Old Mystery Creek!" and I laughed so hard. I might have to use that line sometime soon.
Want to hear more of "Will and Grace" online? I found a great site HERE with some hilarious clips you can download and may be able to use on your phone.
It made me think of the books from when I was a kid.
Seriously, I didn't read Nancy Drew. ...that was for girls.
I did read some of the Hardy Boys novels, but mainly because my Uncle Frank had many of them and when he was done with them, he would let my brother and I use them.
I remember wanting to read the Hard Boys and having to read, "Where the Red Fern Grows" about the same time, probably third grade, so when I think of the Hardy Boys, it reminds me that I should say something to myself like, "You know you want to pass this class buster, so put down the Hardy Boys and pick up the fern and get 'er done." I was thinking along the lines of "Learn it, love it, leave it."

Oh now I have different thoughts of the Hardy Boys. ...and what they might have done to Nancy Drew. Yike.

I wish all of life's mysteries were able to be solved like they were in the novels by Franklin W. Dixon and Carolyn Keene.
