    I'm sure it was in a trophy, and since you said it was in the first season, I think Roth has to be right.

    That was an exciting finish today. Ricky dropped back to 20th after pitting at the last caution, but then made up some places quite quickly. Sorry Garrett, but I cheered when he passed JG and his team mate, Biffle, on the same lap. He was even closing on Keselowski for a while, but got the extra place thanks to Carl Edwards running out of gas. As someone once said, "it don't matter where you start, it matters where you end the race", and I'm happy with 27th to 12th. The result also puts Ricky two points ahead of Jeff Burton and Aric Almirola .

    I didn't get to watch the qualifying in pictures, but I was keeping an eye on the drivers' times as it happened. I was happy enough when I saw Ricky in 16th, but then I realized how many fast drivers still had to qualify. It was worse for Dave Blaney - he started out first and slowly slid down to 42nd. Garrett, your drivers did well again, both inside the top five. 1 Jimmie Johnson 2 Denny Hamlin 3 Joey Logano 4 Kyle Busch 5 Jeff Gordon 6 Clint Bowyer 7 Kasey Kahne 8 Kurt Busch 9 Kevin Harvick 10 Martin Truex Jr 11 Dale Earnhardt Jr 12 Brad Keselowski 13 Paul Menard 14 Matt Kenseth 15 Jeff Burton 16 Mark Martin 17 Ryan Newman 18 Greg Biffle 19 Juan Pablo Montoya 20 Marcos Ambrose 21 Aric Almirola 22 Elliott Sadler 23 Carl Edwards 24 Reed Sorenson 25 Justin Allgaier 26 Bobby Labonte 27 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 28 Josh Wise 29 Cole Whitt 30 Casey Mears 31 Travis Kvapil 32 Danica Patrick 33 David Gilliland 34 David Ragan 35 J.J.

    I've also heard the rumor about the Hollywood sign appearing in an episode, but have never seen it myself (other than in the episode and movie set in Hollywood). Roth, there are two or three episodes in season 2 which filmed scenes in Griffith Park, but I don't think the sign is visible from the roads they used. One of the later episodes used the tunnel on Mount Hollywood Drive in Griffith Park, but I still don't recall seeing the sign. If anyone can pin down the scene or episode, I'll take a look, but I believe it's just a myth.

    I'll probably be around if we start at about the same time (remembering that we're back to the usual time difference). If we do watch two episodes, I propose a refreshment break between the two, which will also allow the region 1 viewers to catch up .

    As Roth said, my Hazzard Square thread has pictures of all the buildings in the town square and several others. If you're building the square, you may also find my Buildings of Hazzard thread useful, and you could also take a look at my Signs of Hazzard thread for various random signage from around the county. A couple of members have already modeled some of Hazzard County. Mark B was working on a very impressive model of Cooter's garage, and his The Hazzard Garage (Cooter's Garage) thread includes a floor plan. On a smaller scale, Monster01 built an HO scale model of the square. The HO Scale Model of Hazzard Square thread includes loads of work-in-progress pictures.

    I think that was 'The Hack of Hazzard'. Who's been calling you a "vintage nut bowl", Roger? I don't know what it says about me, but I keep getting Spam : I see it gives a "New" price, I just hope the "Best" price isn't for used Spam.

    It's a little ironic that tires would be an issue because only a few laps before Kyle Busch crashed, the commentators mentioned the Goodyear blimp and gave a huge plug to Goodyear saying how amazing it was that they could make tires for Texas. I haven't seen Gordon's tires, but Busch's were pretty shredded.

    Garrett, I'm sure your video works fine in the US, but it isn't available here. I was able to find another version from the caption. I'm aware that some people will probably consider this song to be a sacrilegious treatment of a track by The Beatles, but I like it. She's a Woman - Scritti Politti

    As an aside, I've just read that Warner Bros Records sponsored one of the "O"s of the Hollywood sign when it was restored in 1978. Other donors included Gene Autry, the "L", Hugh Hefner, the "Y" and Andy Williams, the "W". Alice Cooper paid for an "O" in memory of Groucho Marx.

    Flash and Mobile/HTML work fine for me using Firefox and Chrome (I have Java disabled), and the Java version works in Internet Explorer. As Roth says, they all end up in the same place.

    I agree, it was Miz Tisdale.

    This Sunday's race is the AAA Texas 500 from the Texas Motor Speedway. Garrett, I guess you'll be reasonably happy with Jimmie Johnson in third and Jeff Gordon in eighth, although Ricky is only one place behind . 1 Carl Edwards 2 Brad Keselowski 3 Jimmie Johnson 4 Paul Menard 5 Kyle Busch 6 Matt Kenseth 7 Dale Earnhardt Jr 8 Jeff Gordon 9 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 10 Marcos Ambrose 11 Kasey Kahne 12 Joey Logano 13 Ryan Newman 14 Denny Hamlin 15 Martin Truex Jr 16 Juan Pablo Montoya 17 Aric Almirola 18 Greg Biffle 19 Kevin Harvick 20 Jeff Burton 21 Austin Dillon 22 Bobby Labonte 23 Parker Kligerman 24 Jamie McMurray 25 Elliott Sadler 26 Clint Bowyer 27 Casey Mears 28 David Gilliland 29 David Ragan 30 Danica Patrick 31 Kurt Busch 32 Trevor Bayne 33 Mark Martin 34 Josh Wise 35 Michael McDowell 36 Kyle Larson 37 Landon Cassill 38 Travis Kvapil 39 David Reutimann 40 Timmy Hill 41 Joe Nemechek 42 Dave Blaney 43 J.J. Yeley NASCAR.com says the race will start at 3:00 PM ET, but with their previous record, and the clocks going back, I'd double-check that if I were you. Live coverage is on ESPN.

    I believe they also used some kind of gliders to check out the toxic waste dumping in 'Cooter's Girl'.
  20. HossC
    For this week only, it's actually 9pm UK, 10pm Central European Time (I checked with the link you posted in the other thread ). Our clocks went back last week, and yours don't go back until a few hours after the proposed chat.
  21. HossC
    They used some sort of gliders to find the Beaudry's remote shack, but I think Roth is correct that it was horses in 'Bye, Bye Boss'.

    Tornado Steam was phased out in Britain in the 1960s, but there are still a load of steam enthusiasts. One group raised a huge amount of money to build a brand-new locomotive called Tornado. It was completed in 2008, and featured in a 'Top Gear' race with a Jaguar XK120 and a Vincent Black Shadow motorbike. If anyone wants to know, it's an LNER Peppercorn Class A1. The official steam speed record is still held by the British locomotive Mallard, a streamlined A4 Pacific.

    I do know why I thought of this song - it's currently being used on a commercial. I'm A Woman - Peggy Lee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh8ZpZkUr2Y I was going to say "That don't impress me much", but that's a whole different song . Actually this one's fine with me, and reminds me of this scene from The Big Bang Theory:

    I'm hoping to be there on Saturday.

    Dutch You've just reminded me of the scene from 'Miracle on 34th Street' when Kris Kringle sings 'Sinterklaas Kapoentje' with the little Dutch girl. I know it as a black and white movie (I prefer the 1947 version to the one from 1994), but I found a colorized clip of the scene on YouTube:
