  1. Don't you mean Dubliners in general? We've probably got the most loike doyverse accent in de smallest urea in the wurdled :-)

  2. This may not really be relevant to anything on HNet at the moment, but I just thought I'd say "Ah heor leave ih ouh!"

  3. I found this mistake earlier in "Double Dukes". In the final chase Bo and Luke run the fake Dukes off the road, and the fake General Lee flips over. Watch as the fake Luke climbs out of the General Lee. It's a recycled shot from when Bo and Luke roll the General in "Find Loretta Lynn". This isn't a blooper such, but in "Find Loretta Lynn" when Bubba and Squirt are having the makeup fight in the RV, you can see Loretta in the background struggling not to laugh.
  4. I'm sorry Mufn. I lost one of my dogs four years ago, and it took me a long time to get over it. If you ever want to talk you know where I am.
  5. I remember seeing this before somewhere. The film crew forgot about the interior scene in Repo Men, and only realized it in editing. By this time Dukes had moved to California, so they just shot the scene in the California kitchen, hoping nobody would notice it.
  6. Although this technically isn't a project, I feel I should post it here. I got this bike earlier today. I had dealt with this person before, and they said they'd give me any scrap bikes that they didn't want. Unfortunately it is, well how do I put it...a rust bucket. The frame is badly rusted in places, the back wheel is one size to big and is badly rusted. There's only one brake, no handlebar grips,the seat is ripped so the rider gets wet when they sit on the saddle, and despite a sticker saying it's a 15 speed the gears are nonexistent. However despite this the bike is a beast. It's lack of gears leave it permanently in gears 3-5. This makes it quite fast, so it's like a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you think it looks familiar, then I don't blame you, because it's the same type of bike as the top of the Tall Bike project I'm working on. At the moment I plan to use it as a daily rider, but may end up modifying or scrapping it in the future.
  7. We finally had a break from the rain. We had four days of heavy rain, and some places had a months worth of rain in a day! Anyway I store most of my bikes outside exposed to the elements (leaving them stored under a tarp is actually worse than leaving them exposed to the elements). I had the tandem mostly stripped of it's paint last Sunday, so naturally it became fairly rusty during the wet week. Fortunately it was just surface rust, and it didn't take too long to strip off with a wire brush on a drill. I got a coat of primer on it, them sprayed the metallic silver base coat on. Unfortunately that's all I got done today. I had a few people drop bikes in for small repairs, so wanted to get them out of the way. Here's a picture of the bike with most of the silver painted. Oh yes I almost forgot. One of my neighbors was throwing out a broken tricycle last weekend. I saw it had wheels that could be used on my wooden go kart, so I asked if I could have it. They had no problems with me taking it as it was worthless to them. After I took the wheels off, I realized that I could use the handlebars on the tandem bike. This is only a mock up, I've still to repaint them, and mount them more securely in the seatpost.
  8. That was in season four. The episode was called "Cletus in Love" if I'm correct. It was the episode where Daisy subconsciously said "I love ya" to Cletus, and the episode partially revolved around Cletus chasing after Daisy, and Daisy trying to explain to Cletus that she didn't mean it literally.
  9. Hey y'all I'm sure I'm not the only one who has found themselves flicking through the tv or radio channels, and hearing the latest song being played. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's questioned how the song made it to number one. Most of my friends agree with me on this. I'm convinced that music has gone into a downward spiral. In fact the only person who's firmly against me is my fourteen year old sister, who's obsessed with every boyband that comes out of those useless reality song competition shows. I'm into country, rock and blues. It may not be everybody's favorite type of music, but each song has it's own little story in it. Today's music, however, is empty and purely money driven. How on earth did Willow Smith get anywhere?? She wrote, sorry she had someone write her, a song about whipping her hair back and forth. What happened to the good ol' days of Aerosmith, Johnny Cash, and The Beatles. Modern musicians also feel the need to play with their voices with computer editing software, wave their arms about as if they're having muscle spasms, and generally make an idiot of themselves. I really feel that music has gone into a downward spiral. I maintain that since the mid nineties, only a handful of good music tracks have been released. The majority are useless, talentless "singers" who say the lyrics and then use computer software to "make it sound better". Anyway that's my rant over. What are y'all's opinions on modern music?
  10. Welcome to HazzardNet EG! Y'all may notice we do things a little different here!
  11. I'm sure some of y'all have been wondering what I was going to eventually do. Well I spoke to my friend, and she said that the place we're going to is fairly lax when it comes to security and ids. This makes sense, as 90% of people going are already 18. I'm going to bring my drivers licence just in case, as it's the only form of id I have (besides my passport which I'd lose ). In a way I'm glad I'm not getting a fake id made, because I would probably look guilty and get caught out. If I get refused, well I haven't really planned that far ahead yet, but I'm sure I'll come up with some sort of plan. I'm going tuxedo shopping tomorrow, which should be an experience as I only ever go clothes shopping for jeans,tshirts and hoodies. The debs is on the 3rd of October, which is a Wednesday. The bus back to the school isn't until 9 on Thursday morning, so hopefully I'll be able to make it into school...not!! Haha!
  12. The two wooden blocks with groves cut in them. A picture showing how the copper is held in place by the wood. The front axle / steering assembly is basically a rectangular piece of wood, with a hole drilled in the middle as a pivot point and a bolt with an eye piece on the end with some washers. Pretty simple huh? This final picture shows the go-kart in it's most up to date condition. There will be two more bolts with eye pieces attached to the front axle assembly, and a rope tied to each eye piece to enable the rider to steer.
  13. Hey y'all! I'm in my final year of school, and have big exams at the end of the year. One of the exam subjects I do is woodwork, and we're allowed to make anything we want (within reason). I started off building a wooden bike frame, but I wouldn't have had enough time to finish it. I then decided to make a wooden push go-kart. I'm nearly finished building the rolling frame, then I just have to paint it (a la General Lee of coarse!), and maybe add a foam seat. Here are some of the pictures from birth to current state. The main frame. The back and sides. I used finger joints to hold the three sides together, then screwed them into the main frame. The sides and back screwed in place. There's a long beam of wood running from the front to the back of the kart. This stops the wood flexing and reduces the possibility of it snapping in half. The rear axle is basically a threaded bar in a copper pipe, held in place by a groove cut in a piece of wood. The two square pieces of wood are there to I've more surface area for the axle assembly to glue and screw to.
  14. Here's a picture of the welded frame. The front saddle is just for looks at the moment. The reason there isn't an extra bar running from one bike to another is because the welds are really strong, and the back bike wraps around the front bike so it gives the frames extra rigidity.
  15. I got the tandem frame back earlier, but unfortunately it was too dark to take a picture. You may have already read that I'm giving this creation a unique paint job. I was watching "Mason Dixon Girls" the other day. After Rosco rammed the General Lee in the first few minutes of the episode I began to wonder what the General Lee and Rosco would look like fused together.... So that's my planned paint job for this bike. The General Lee will be the front half of the tandem (obviously) and the Rosco will be the rear half.
  16. I've decided that instead of spamming the HazzardNet Garage section of the forums, all new projects will appear here. Although I'm in my final year of school, with big exams at the end of the year, I hope to build a new wacky bike at least once every three months. This is a list of potential projects that I'd like to try and build. Some of these I found on the Internet (mainly instructables.com) but most of these are entirely original. -Rollover Bike -Wheelchair Bike II -Recumbent Bike III -Swing Bike -Ski Bike II -Granny Cruiser -Shopping Cart Trailer -Pedal Go Kart -Prone Bike -Tow Truck Bike -Redneck Rollercoaster Bike -Hand Powered Unicycle -Cargo Bike / Shopping Cart Bike -Short Wheelbase Bike -Lawnmower Bike -Chainsaw Skateboard -Lawnmower Powered Bike -Two Wheel Drive Bike -Amphibious Bike I'm sure I'll come up with more, but that's just a few of the weird and wacky creations I have planned for the future. Let me know what y'all think. Maybe I could set up a poll to see which one I'll build next. For the moment though, the shopping cart trailer is the next one on my list. My parents are sick of the junk piled up in our yard, and don't want to keep going with me to the dump. The trailer could also be used for carrying food, bikes, people... Whatever I need to carry!
  17. I had the tandem frame and the cruiser frame collected earlier today. Hopefully I'll have them back by Monday evening, which means that I could work on them on Saturday or Sunday, and get them working before the cold weather sets in which would prohibit me from painting.
  18. Welcome to HazzardNet Casio! Y'all may notice we do things a little different here!! If you don't win the auction you could always build a General Lee bike! Haha
  19. I don't normally get riled by things like this, but I just feel I have to repost this..this..well I don't want to say what I really feel like saying because I'd be banned from HNet. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2199300/Grandmother-91-left-horrific-injuries-beaten-mugger-handbag-contained-just-20.html I've never heard of or met this poor old lady, but I'm so full of anger from reading it that I'm wishing for all sorts of horrible things to happen to her attacker. I know that if this happened to my grandparents, I wouldn't rest until I personally caught up with their attacker and...well let's just say that they wouldn't be mugging people again for a while.
  20. Haha just wait until you see the potential paint job for the tandem. I bet nobody will figure it out...
  21. Welcome to HazzardNet! Y'all may notice we do things a little different here!
  22. This next one has "lunacy" written all over it. I've seen one or two of these bikes on YouTube before, but never really saw the appeal of them. They're heavier,more awkward, and less stable than the Fall Guy bike I built. I don't blame you if you haven't heard of them before, because they're not exactly popular. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Tall Bike! I never planned on building one, but when I contacted the seller about the blue bike frame for the new tandem, he also offered me this frame for two tires. I took it because I knew I'd regret it if I didn't take it. I was wondering what I should do with the frame, when I remembered the tall bikes from YouTube. I had another scrap bike that I hadn't fully stripped yet, so decided to use that as the lower bike, and use the new frame as the upper frame. I haven't quite finished securing the two bikes together yet. So far the two bikes are only being held together by the seat post of the lower bike to the kickstand mount of the upper bike. I plan on using steel piping to secure the back of the two bikes together. To do this I'm going to drill two holes in the pipe, at the top and at the bottom. Then I'm going to bolt it to the upper bike via the back wheel mounts, and to the lower bike by drilling two holes in the back if the frame to accommodate the bolts. For the front I think I'm going to fit an axle to the upper bike, and slide it through the handlebars of the lower bike. I'll add some heavy duty washers to each side of the handlebars, to hold the front of the two bikes in place.
  23. Well I'm at it again! While I'm waiting for my friend with the welder to come home, my over imaginative mind went into overdrive. Firstly let me begin with this bike. I got it back in July, and used it as a parts bike. After I stripped it down to the bare frame I left it sitting in my scrap pile, which I would eventually take to the scrap yard. It was around this time that I decided to build my own bike. I needed a front steering pipe (headset) for the bike, so I cut the one out of the scrapped blue frame. I returned the bike to the scrap pile, with every intention of taking it to the scrapyard. However whilst searching the classifieds earlier for specific parts I came across this. It's identical to the frame I already have, so I decided to get it and make... A TANDEM BIKE!! I made one in May, but ended up scrapping it due to one of the bikes having severe rust. For this new one I'm going to inlist the help of my friend with the welder. I'm going to weld the front of the old bike to the back of the new bike. Here's one of the first progress pictures.
  24. I've just got two more things to say while they're still on my mind. Firstly about political correctness gone mad, and secondly about an old fashion form of political correctness, namely the catholic church. Firstly, if the confederate flag is to disappear from future General Lee's, how long is it before dressing up as a ghost for halloween is banned because someone is offended because a child in a bed sheet is too similar to the Ku Klux Klan? If they ban the flag from an icon of a family show, how long is it before the innocent image of a child dressed up as a ghost becomes banned, or frowned upon? Secondly, I'm sure most of y'all watched part of the Olympics. Did anyone else see the Closing Ceremony? Or more specifically the closing song, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"? That song was originally released in conjunction with British comedy group Monty Python's Life of Brian movie in 1979. For anyone that isn't familiar with the movie, the movie is about the life of a man back in Jesus's time, who was born in the adjacent stable, and is constantly being mistaken as the messiah. He is eventually crucified, and in the final scene all the people being crucified break into "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". The catholic church found this offensive, and as a result the movie was either rated 18, or banned altogether from most European countries. I happened to be watching the closing ceremony with my grandparents, and they were slightly angry that "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" was being sung, on the bases that it was glamorizing Jesus's death. Obviously people's views on the movie have changed in the past 30 years, and I think it shows how far we've progressed, or atleast how far the UK has progressed, since the movies initial release and how "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is now able to be played at a worldwide event. The reason I've mentioned these two examples in the same post is this. If an offensive song released in the 70's is able to be played freely now, is their a possibility that the confederate flag could fly freely on the General Lee's roof again?
