There's a coincidence - 'Along Came a Duke' was in the middle of the Dukes triple bill that I watched this morning.

He was so much a part of the sport when I started watching it. I read his autobiography about 20 years ago, and I bought it in hardback. The BBC are putting on a tribute show on Tuesday night, so I'll being staying up to watch that. In the meantime, there's a shorter tribute on the F1 site - I hope you take the time to watch it: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.watch-the-voice-of-f1-a-tribute-to-murray-walker.3T4SIVeX26z0vrreUS2X6w.html

As I said in my first post in this thread, back in 2011 he only had three acting credits listed on IMDb. Maybe he figured that Jeb Stuart was the character he was best known for playing when he set up his company. Either that or he's a big fan of General James Ewell Brown Stuart.

At least somebody across the big pond still has common sense. The folks running the culture over here are clueless.....or maybe they know exactly what they are doing and are just downright evil.

The odd thing is that only the stuff that offends liberals is what is being banned. The stuff that offends conservatives is not only, not being banned, but it is encouraged. When you attempt to silence half of the people in a large nation you shouldn't be surprised that folks get angry. Can you imagine how Jesse would feel if he was here.

I'm in the middle of a book called "The Case for Faith" by Lee Strobel. I read it a couple years ago but it is worth reading again. His logic for believing in God makes so much sense.

I just reconnected with DaisyMaeDuke and she has been married for 9 years now.....and they still own a General Lee.

Cousin Hobie yeah you got that right!

Story I read on yahoo didn't even mention the one was for music rights issue, figures. If it did it wouldn't rile up the cancel culture nuts. Pat Sajak better turn into a robot host as he's being ripped apart on social media for his offensive mean spirited humor towards contestants . The world is a changing fellas, everything is offensive and if you're not on the bandwagon then you are wrong.

Speaking of names, just my bad luck, the only person ever named Roger on the show was a bad guy. Duke Gaylord Duke was really Roger Blevins back in England. Hey Hoss, I didn't know there were any bad guys in England. By the way, I don't know what Roger Blevins' real name was....sounds like a job for that good guy (originally) from England...take it away Hoss!

Boss and Uncle Jesse were standing in front of the Courthouse and Jesse was getting tired of hearing Boss brag about how much money all his crooked businesses were making so Jesse interrupted him. "Ya know Boss, I'm a successfull businessman myself. I made $1572 selling firewood last year. That means that in 2008, my business outperformed Chrysler, Merrill Lynch, A.I.G., and Leyman Brothers by $430,000,001,572".

Got outbid on another house this morning. It was our first time at an auction so it was an interesting experience. The auctioneer never even got down to our max. Soon as he came down to $100k a guy bid. There were about half dozen of us there to bid on the house but in the end only two people bid on it. One guy kept upping his bid $5k till the other couple dropped out. I think it was a bleeping flipper. Those bleepers are buying up houses like wildfire around here. People wanting to buy a house can't catch a break because those suckers swoop in 1st day a house comes on the market and puts in a cash offer that 9 times out if ten the seller accepts. It's become such an issue that one of the local news stations even did a story about flippers buying up the majority of the houses around here a few days ago. Would've been a nice little slice of country heaven.

I'm hijacking this thread briefly with the sad news that legendary F1 commentator Murray Walker has died at the age of 97. For many, not just in the UK, he was the voice of F1 with a career spanning well over 50 years. Not bad considering that his first career was in advertising. Even in more recent years he'd still make appearances at the British Grand Prix. Here's a short tribute from BBC News: And here's a clip from when he was on Letterman circa 2002 (the Letterman part starts at about 38 seconds in):
