Nice job! So am I correct in assuming that you didn't paint it orange because it never snows in Hazzard? By the way, when you're ready to take it down a steep hill and need someone to be on the back seat, I've love to.... recommend Hoss....especially since he lives on the same end of Hazzard Pond that you do.
ROFL That's a good one Brian. I never looked at it from that perspective. Boss did get a lot of attention in the national spotlight when a governor got compared to him earlier this year. For some reason I was thinking it was Haley Barbour of Louisiana. Boss was on CNN more than once and also in USA Today when that happened. I know it's mentioned on a thread that's laying around here somewhere. Being in D.C. would be a big thrill to Boss. He always did have his eye on the White House. It matched all his suits and his Cadillac.
Thanks Hoss. I wish I could make out what the poster with Rosco and Flash says but maybe it's Best that we can't (James Best...pun intended). I sure hope the moderators are patient with this thread. I am in no way endorsing any political sides by starting this post. I'm simply sticking with the theme here since this certainly is the "Latest News". I hope folks here avoid the temptation of bringing politics into this thread so it doesn't get dropped by the moderators. It's not every day that the Dukes of Hazzard gets mentioned in the United States Congress. I made a call to the office of Phil Gingrey to ask what will happen to the posters and they said they'll be saved and won't be autioned off or anything. Shucks. Hmmm, I wonder if this guy has Ben Jones' old job.
I just saw something really cool. I was watching CNN just after 4:00 EST and they were talking about Obamacare. (I'll be really careful to not bring up politics since that's against the rules). Boss, Rosco and Flash have made it into the hallowed halls of the United States Congress. Republican Phil Gingrey from the great state of (you guessed it) Georgia had two huge posters of Boss and Rosco w/Flash while he was talking about health care. Also, CNN ran footage of an episode with Boss....the scene where he was getting sprayed with red paint (by Bo as I recall) in his chop shop. It would be nice if one of you folks with computer skills could post a link with this. It would be nice if we could share a picture of the two posters with everybody. But remember folks....no talking about politics. We wouldn't want to ruin the best website on the internet!
Speaking of the Cubs did anybody see the insurance commercial where the Cub (I'm not even sure who he is) was pulling things out of the ivy at Wrigley Field? After pulling out a few items he then pulled out former Cub Andre Dawson. Andre looked around then asked "What year is it?" I saw it last night during the home run derby and cracked up.... .....and of course I thought of a certain Cubs fan here on the HN. Tonight's the All-Star game!
Thanks for the update Garrett. I was at a family reunion all day so haven't seen any of the highlights on TV yet. David Ragen...26th? Well, I guess that's better than he's done in a lot of races but I was hoping he'd surprise folks with a top 10 finish. What state's Loudon in? I didn't even know they gave drug tests in NASCAR. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. They're required in most jobs nowadays.
Yep, that's it... and that breaks the record for quickest time answering a tough question... ten minutes. Since you're on a roll maybe you should head on down and see if you can get all 3 Duke or Dupes. Thanks Hoss!
This new Dallas is pretty interesting. Bobby tried to sell SouthFork Ranch but JR stopped him. Now I really hate to be on JRs side but I sure didn't want to see the ranch get sold. Dallas wouldn't be the same without it....so I've become a JR fan for a little while. Dallas without SouthFork would be like the Dukes without their farm....like that time they almost moved to Hatchapee....perish the thought.
Lizzy and BL are right. Right after I posted the question I saw the post about sharing birthdays with the stars of the show. Cool coincidence! From "Deputy Dukes" who said "We're country boys. We don't use no money. We just barter our way through life. Ya know, if you was to offer me a bushel of corn there ain't no tellin' what I might do for ya."? A) Bo Luke
Little John Schneider was just 7 days old when I was born. We're both 52. My grandson Luke (not named after Luke Duke) was born on Waylon's birthday (June 15)
I had the opportunity to meet Tim at a Dukes event in Canton Ohio. You're certainly right Brian. He sure is passionate about the General Lee. I don't know anybody who knows more about 1969 Chargers than he does. .....and he certainly is worthy of the Fan of the Month award. Congratulations Tim and keep your General between the ditches!
