King of the Road was a huge hit when I was young. Big Boss Man was an Elvis song.

I understand why you are getting excited about NASCAR but don't understand why you are getting excited about baseball since the Pirates are going to crush the Cubs every time they play. I want to join both leagues but will only join baseball if you can make the draft 4:00 Eastern Standard Time (5:00 at the latest) on a weekday since I have limited access to a computer and I can't count on this tablet to be reliable. I will send you a PM.

Another 1000 point drop in the Dow Jones. That means another 4 trillion dollars just vanished into thin air. Despite that, it doesn't seem like folks are panicking as much as you would expect. How about across the pond? Folks getting scared?

Just got back from a high school basketball game. The regular season is winding down and the playoffs are approaching in a couple weeks.

Did they make a Dukes of Hazzardshire?

I was talking to a guy from Tasmania today about his home. I knew it was SE of Australia but didn't know it was part of Australia. The analogy he used was Hawaii is part of the US even though it's an island. Of course Tasmania is closer to the homeland than Hawaii. It's a pretty fascinating place with an interesting history.

onion (Ramps are called leeks around here. For you folks across the pond they're like a wild onion with a touch of garlic flavor to them...depending on if you dig them late or early in leek season)

If I ever moved to the southern US I would pick up an accent in days. Charlie Daniels is my favorite male singer and Loretta Lynn is my favorite female. This makes me wonder if some southerners weren't happy when Dukes came out since the accents weren't that strong on the show. Some characters had them but overall I don't think they were very strong.

She didn't marry you for your gold. She married you for your shine!

If I heard Daisy Duke's voice and Miz Emma Tisdale's voice without seeing their faces I could tell which was which. If Jesse Duke and Flash both had masks on I'd be able to tell which was which. If they took the 01 off the General Lee I'd still be able to tell it from Cooter's wrecker. I'm acting a little silly tonight Hobie. Did you slip a little of that mountain dew in my root beer when you were visiting this evening? I thought it tasted different.

I reckon Terry has to visit his cousin a lot because of all his old football injuries and you have to visit Terry's cousin a lot from falling down after partaking of of that.... *cue the bluegrass band*......"good 'ol mountain dew"

I'm not too worried. If he goes to jail Cooter will just get his wrecker and hook a chain up to the outside window bars and pull him out....or Daisy will flirt with Enos and get the keys.... or Luke will shuck and jive Cletus...or Uncle Jesse will find some dirt on Boss and hold it over him until he lets him out.

I'm a lifelong Steeers fan. I live less than 2 hours to the north of Pittsburgh. I liked them even before they won their first of 6 Super Bowls. If the Patriots win they'll be the second team with 6 rings so Go Eagles.....plus they're a Pennsylvania team. I really wanted to see both Pennsylvania teams get in there. Oh well...Patriots are a great team. I don't like them but their greatness can't be denied.

Anybody with that last name will have a lot of fans. If I change my name to Roger Earnhardt people might actually like me!

That's interesting. You're right. Folks are acting like gas is going to be relatively cheap forever.

Why did the Fusion redesign get scrapped?

LOL every time I saw a driver crash last year I told myself "I bet Garrett picked that guy this week."

I thought The Jaguars were going to beat the Patriots but the Patriots had another one of their miracle fourth quarters. Shucks! Right now the Eagles are leading 31-7. It looks like I'll be rooting for the Eagles in the Super Bowl unless something drastic happens here.
