I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (Hank Williams Sr) (There you go Garrett, I took your ing off)

Sorry but I have to brag a little more about Roberto. A lot of people think that Clemente's jersey number (21) should be retired for all of baseball. Jackie Robinson's number 42 is retired for every team (meaning nobody in all of baseball on any team can ever wear 42 again in honor of Robinson) because of his great accomplishment of breaking the color barrier. Despite all the death threats he recieved, Robinson stuck it out and did what's right so he certainly deserves hero status. Since Clemente gave his life in an effort to help others, I think that is also reason enough to retire his number. The Pirates have retired it of course but it should be retired league-wide. Not to diminish any of Jackie Robinson's great accomplishments but Clemente's sacrifice was the ultimate one any human being can make. After his death in the plane crash, he was inducted into the hall of fame right away and, to this day, is the only player to ever be inducted without the 5 year waiting period.

Glad to see you back Emy. I've been wondering where you were. *HUGS*

texasdaisy, GeneralLeeGirl and daisyxenos got that right. Two young men buy a black car at the "Capitol City Auto Salvage."

Wow the results of this survey are spread out pretty evenly. I suppose nobody voted for season 5 because Coy and Vance left and everybody was so mad they left, they don't really like that season (sorry, couldn't resist the sarcasm)

I knew it was a long time. When I was a kid, I had an Ernie Banks baseball card (Cubs) and I remember the back said something about Ernie wondering how long it would be before they would win a World Series since it had been a long time. If it had been a long time in the late sixties, it's a really really long time 40 years later.....over 100 years!! LOL That's all the more reason to root for them. Roberto Clemente (Pirates) was the MVP of the 1971 World Series. It was a miracle win for the Pirates because the Orioles had 4 20 game winners (not a misprint) and the Pirates had none. To make matters worse, Baltimore won the first two games but Pittsburgh won it in 7 games. Clemente had a been on the Pirates for 20+ years and had a lifetime batting average of 317 with four gold gloves and a thowing arm that no runner ever dared challenge. In the off season he was helping deliver supplies to earthquake victims in Central America when his plane went down in the Gulf of Mexico, killing all aboard.

How long has it been since the Cubs won the World Series? It sure would be nice to see them do what the Red Sox did and win one after many decades of going without a championship. Their dry spell is kinda surprising considering what a big city Chicago is. You wouldn't think it's because Chicago doesn't have enough money. Unfortunately (for the Pirates) the richer teams usually win in baseball since they don't have a salary cap. Hopefully that means the Cubs will be in the running. By the way, Roberto Clemente is my all-time favorite player. You sure don't see many players today risking their lives to help others. He was a hero on and off the field.

I Wish You Were Here (Barbara Mandrell)

Happy St. Patrick's Day everybody. Meet ya at the Boar's Nest!!

Welcome to the HazzardNet Nash. Since I'm such a fan of Uncle Jesse, you're an instant celebrity to me. I sure hope you stay around here for awhile because I'd sure like it if you could ask your grandfather some questions. I'll try not to overwelm you so I'll only ask a couple to start out. 1) I know you said your grandfather hasn't owned the land long but was he nearby when they filmed the five episodes there? 2) Did the fact that it was the Duke farm give him incentive to buy it or didn't that matter to him? 3) Are you or other family members big fans of the show? 4) I'll send you a "Private Message" to see if there's anyway I could get a souvenier from the farm. I know you're new to the website. Do you know how the PM thing works?

daisyxenos got all three right. Which of these were on the show? Hound Dog Lake or Coon Hound Swamp Virginia City or Tullahoma (episode names) The New Dukes or Goodbye Coy and Vance

I went to a Blue Jays game once. Roger Clemens had 16 strike outs. I had fun yelling "Roger, Roger, Roger!" with every strike out. (not that I like that name or anything) Also, I was only a few seats away from catching a Jose Canseco foul ball. The day before, we went up in the CN tower and saw what the stadium looked like with a game going on and the roof open. It's a view I'll never forget.

Shucks, it looks like I'm a day late for pi day. Ya got any leftovers? I'm so hungry right now I could eat 3.14 pieces. Of course if you did the math, I'm sure you'd find out that the circumference of my belly would get even larger if I 8 that much.

Welcome to Hazzard County T.J. We always enjoy it when a new cousin rides into town. We only have two rules here on the HazzardNet. I'll try to keep them simple. 1) Never make fun of Roger Duke. 2) Make fun of everybody else.

Baseball is in pre-season. March Madness is getting ready to start. The NBA and NHL playoffs will be here before you know it. And of course, NASCAR is starting another season with everybody chasing J.J. Post your feelings here for sports and please be respectful of other people's teams. (Of course I had to add that because I like the worst team in baseball, the Pittsburgh Pirates)...okay, you folks can make fun of the Pirates a little bit if you want to. By the way, does anybody know which forum that NASCAR thread is located?

texasdaisy, GeneralLeeGirl and daisyxenos got it right. All this talk about NASCAR lately (on the "belt buckle" thread) prompted me to ask another NASCAR question. Which episode mentioned these stars and showed footage of them racing? Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip, Ricky Ruud, Buddy Baker, Cale Yarborough, Bill Elliott Hint: The answer is NOT "Cale Yarborough Comes To Hazzard" or "Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough." I suppose this question should be on the "Name That Episode" thread but I'm sure you folks won't mind.

He likes Dale Jr. Come to think of it I really don't know why. I'm not kidding about him being obsessed though. I bet it would be tough to find a question he didn't have the answer to. I wonder if any NASCAR car was ever an orange 01 since 1979 when the show first came out. I doubt it would be a copyright infringment unless you named it the General Lee. I mean, nobody has exclusive rights to colors and numbers, not even Warner Brothers. An orange 01 car would make me get into NASCAR. That or Cale Yarborough coming out of retirement. Does he have a son or grandson? Maybe I'll see if my friend wants to get on the HazzardNet and run the old NASCAR thread that Darell used to run.

My dream vehicle is an old, dirty, white, Ford F-150 pick-up truck like Uncle Jesse drives. I suppose I wouldn't have to win the lottery to get one so I probably will someday. In the meantime, if any of you folks hit the lottery and buy your dream vehicle and want to get rid of your old, dirty, white, Ford F-150 pick-up truck, let your Uncle Roger know.

Lizzy, texasdaisy, GeneralLeeGirl and daisyxenos got it right. What is the punch line of this Rosco joke? "What did one casket say to the other casket?

LOL I knew I'd take a few hits on that one. I really have made an honest effort to get into NASCAR but since there's so many other things to do in life it's tough. On the weekends I usually spend time with my eight year old grandson. I now have two more grandsons (1 year old and 9 months old) so when my older grandson gets old enough that he thinks hanging out with grandpa isn't cool anymore, the younger ones will be taking up a lot of my weekend time. If it weren't for that, I really would try to get into it. I have a friend who is a NASCAR fanatic so I actually do know a lot about it since he's obsessed with it and I'm a person who's naturally inquisitive. I wish there was an 01 car. I imagine every single NASCAR driver is a Dukes of Hazzard fan to some degree or another so I'm surprised the big name drivers don't fight for that number. How do they pick the car number anyways?

I was just reviewing some old threads and stumbled across this one. I'm surprised nobody mentioned Jude Emery's vehicle. I'm not real crazy about the flowers on it but I'd love to own a machine like that. Overall, I'm not really a "car guy". I used to be when I was younger but these newer vehicles don't have as much personality and they're impossible to work on unless you're a computer expert. I still haven't outgrown dirt bikes though. I love every episode that has them on.

She's Like the Wind (Patrick Swayze)

LOL You can never watch Dukes too much. golduster360, I CAN'T relate to you about noticing the belt buckles but I can relate as far as noticing other things that nobody else probably does. (Well, they probably notice but not enough to get excited about it.) Of course those things I notice are because I like them. I wrote down every episode that shows the Dukes cutting or splitting firewood because I like doing that myself so much. I also wrote down other things I like, for example, wild medicinal herbs, the times they camped out, working in the fields, etc. That's one reason I like Dukes so much, I can relate to them so well.....now if I could just get into NASCAR. I try but just can't seem to get excited about it for some reason. Shhh, don't tell Bo and Luke.

*wipes sweat from forehead from worrying so much* Please don't tell me that she's riding a wheelie all the way to Atlanta on her dirt bike or I'll start worrying again.
