  1. A Town Without Pity - Gene Pitney
  2. It's great to see that y'all have fond memories of Mr. Jones, points all 'round. Brian, don't feel too bad for Mr. Jones. I hear Warner Bros re-hired him in 2005. Apparently he wrote the screenplay for a movie based on a popular TV series - did anyone see it?. Q. In 'Swamp Molly', Cooter's paint job is so convincing that Enos thinks Luke is driving a real ice cream truck. After some initial indecisiveness, what are the 2 flavors that Enos eventually chooses between?.
  3. In 'Luke's Love Story', Rosco is blackmailing Cooter into becoming a crasher in the Obstacle Derby by showing him a collection of his traffic tickets: Rosco: By any chance, do these salutations look familiar to you? Cooter: Yeah, I got a set just like these on my truck.
  4. Thanks for posting the video Brian. Looks like Dirk is driving a 1980 Turbo Trans Am (4.9 litre), as far as I know, Mason Dixon's is a 1979 non-turbo (6.6 litre). The 'screaming chicken' faces the other way on the turbos, and the hood bulge replaces the shaker hood.
  5. Sorry Roger, it's a bit geeky. Linux is another operating system for computers - a rival to Windows. Lots of different companies make their own versions, one of the best known is Red Hat.
  6. Everyone take a point there - you're all correct. It's great to see the number of participants increasing. Q. Name the chimpanzee in 'Undercover Dukes'.
  7. I took MaryAnne's suggestion as a challenge. Due to the fact that only 250 of these were made, reference photos were, as predicted, hard to find. The conversions were done by National Coach Engineering of Michigan - you can see some of the survivors here: http://www.firebirdgallery.com/national_coachlot1.htm I had to guess the interior a little, and I gave it a manual gearbox as I couldn't remember what the real car had. I've also omitted the gaffer tape that covered the Trans Am logo on the trunk - if you've never noticed it, there's a picture of it in The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread.
  8. Battle Without Honor or Humanity - Tomoyasu Hotei
  9. Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel
  10. My Favourite Game - The Cardigans (GLG - we posted at exactly the same time - luckily both songs had 'the' in common)
  11. Thought I'd add some Oscar Wilde into the mix: "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." "True friends stab you in the front." "Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same." "Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much." "America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between." "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing." "He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends." "I am not young enough to know everything." "I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train." "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious." "Life is too important to be taken seriously." "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." "The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself." "Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong." "Work is the curse of the drinking classes."
  12. Sounds like you had a good time, Roger. I don't suppose you got any pictures?.
  13. Wow, that's pretty impressive MaryAnne. I know it's not polite to ask a lady her age, but that puts you in your late eighties right ?. You and Roger were right. Q. In 'Daisy's Song', what singing voice does Boss have in the choir?.
  14. Garrett, is there any precident for this size of fine. A couple of weeks back in F1, Ferrari got fined $100,000 for 'team orders'. Basically, in F1, the teams (each of 2 cars) cannot make one of their drivers give way to the other. Ferrari sent one of their drivers, Felipe Massa (who was in the lead), the radio message 'Fernando (his team mate) is faster than you. Do you understand?'. He subsequently let him by, and the authorities slapped them with the fine. This pales into insignificance compared to what happened to McLaren in 2007. They were found to be in possession of technical data belonging to rivals Ferrari. They got stripped of all their constructor's points (their drivers' points added together - drivers compete for the drivers' championship, teams for the constructors') and got fined $100 million.
  15. The Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland - The B-52's
