I think that's the drug store and movie theater in the background, probably around season 4. It looks like there's a newspaper/magazine rack in front of the drug store. Luke's brother, Jud Kane, was a pro boxer who fought under the name of "Killer" Kane.

And the wheels are wrong if we're being picky, but otherwise .

I used to know this, but my mind's gone blank. I'm pretty sure it was a famous singer. Any chance of muliple choice, Roger?

Yes Roger, it is a bit late for us "folks across from the Hazzard Pond". 8 PM Central is 2 AM here. I'd say that up to 6 PM Central would be OK for me at the weekend, but we may have to accept that we can't include everyone during the week. Maybe those of us in Europe could have a matinée showing a few hours earlier .

NASCAR never seem to reveal what drug has been taken, but it's unlikely that a crew chief would take performance enhancing drugs in the same way that an athlete or sportsman/woman would do. I'm guessing that it was more recreational, although that's not an excuse. Maybe the increase in the number of people being caught this year is because the testing has improved. I don't know about other North American sports, but many world sports have had strong anti-drug policies for years. The British Olympic Association used to hand out a lifetime ban to anyone caught breaking the rules, but that policy was ruled unenforceable last year. Last week, British tennis #1, Andy Murray, nearly missed getting an award from Buckingham Palace when the authorities turned up to administer a random drugs test just as he was about to leave. Even cycling seems to be finally cleaning up its act.

I think that 'People's Choice' is the only episode where we see a sign. In that episode they spell it "Chicamahonny":

Here's some more counties. Most of them just get mentioned in a single line. Chicamahawny comes up in a few episodes (sometimes as a place rather than a county), and is spelled at least three different ways. I also remember Hatchapee being spelled Hatchipee in an episode. I'll have to do some more digging to work out which county belongs to which episode. Clarion County Cherokee County Grand County Chicamahawny County Claridge County Placid County Polk County Milford County Plainview County Riverton County Rapaho County Fulton County And don't forget Rockdale County and Newton County - the real places in Georgia where they filmed. BTW. When Roger says they're in his notebook, it's an actual notebook, not a computer!

News hot off the presses (or should that be damp off the presses) - qualifying for tomorrow's race at 'Dega has been cancelled due to rain. To quote NASCAR.com: "Qualifying procedures reverted by rule back to speeds from Friday's opening practice session, putting [Aric] Almirola and Jeff Burton on the front row." 1 Aric Almirola 2 Jeff Burton 3 Marcos Ambrose 4 Martin Truex Jr 5 Carl Edwards 6 Greg Biffle 7 David Ragan 8 Dale Earnhardt Jr 9 Jamie McMurray 10 Casey Mears 11 Jimmie Johnson 12 Matt Kenseth 13 Brad Keselowski 14 Josh Wise 15 Denny Hamlin 16 Austin Dillon 17 Ryan Newman 18 Joey Logano 19 Jeff Gordon 20 Clint Bowyer 21 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 22 Michael Waltrip 23 Danica Patrick 24 David Gilliland 25 David Reutimann 26 Trevor Bayne 27 Kyle Busch 28 Kasey Kahne 29 Bobby Labonte 30 Kurt Busch 31 Cole Whitt 32 Juan Pablo Montoya 33 Kevin Harvick 34 Paul Menard 35 Justin Allgaier 36 Michael McDowell 37 J.J. Yeley 38 Travis Kvapil 39 Dave Blaney 40 Terry Labonte 41 Tony Raines 42 Joe Nemechek 43 Landon Cassill They say the Air Titan drying system is ready for tomorrow. Weather permitting, the Camping World RV Sales 500 starts at 2:00 PM ET on ESPN.

I heard this on the radio earlier and had to post it. It's a song that Phil Lynott wrote for his new-born daughter back in 1979. Sarah - Thin Lizzy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amUDo013itA

There was some discussion about the ages of the Dukes in this thread, although no definite conclusions were reached.

What about your friends in Ireland? OK, we're on the same time zone as the UK, so that time's alright for me. Don't forget other European members like Roth and i1976 - they're in countries on Central European Time ie. 5 or 6 ET is 11 or 12 CET.

I'm still recovering from when you first posted this song back in January . Here's a song about becoming more like Alfie, the womanizer played by Michael Caine in the 1966 movie of the same name. It's from the 1996 album 'Casanova'. Becoming More Like Alfie - The Divine Comedy Just a quick note to everyone replying to this thread (I'm guilty of this myself): Since we've nearly all switched to embedding videos, it's easy to forget to include the name of the song/artist in the post. This means that it doesn't show up when you search the thread (either to check if a song's been posted before, or to find a song you want to listen to again), and there's also no way of knowing what the song was if the video gets removed from YouTube.

How about a snowball made with Dutch Advocaat?

I had some help from Google Translate . Party at the Boar's Nest?

Gefeliciteerd, Roth! Well done Roth, you deserve it .

Indeed I do. We concluded that it was somewhere on the WB backlot, and most likely near to what they now call Hennesy Street. I'm still looking for a long shot or aerial shot that shows it in context.

This certainly looks like the jump that CDoherty discusses in the thread about the Tom Sarmento interview. Your moving GIF appears to show the camera being knocked off. If that's the case, then the General jumped further than expected, and no cameras caught the landing. If anyone missed it, CDoherty's post is here.

Thanks for the results, Garrett. I made it to nearly half distance before I had to call it a night (I already had my alarm set for the Japanese Grand Prix at 2 AM ET). I've just had a quick look through the lap-by-lap guide, and it looks like I didn't miss much action. I bet you enjoyed seeing the top four spots taken by Hendricks' cars near the beginning. It's a shame that Kyle Larson had to drop out - he was doing really well when I left it.

Last night I watched an interesting program about the early days of synthesizer music in Britain. One of the bands mentioned was Yazoo (known as Yaz in the US), formed when Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode and teamed up Alison Moyet. This is one of my favorite tracks of theirs. After checking out several videos on YouTube, I came across this live version that I'd never heard before. I really shows off Alison's vocals well. Situation - Yazoo "] In case anyone's interested, the whole 90-minute BBC documentary called 'Synth Britannia' is also on YouTube - you can see it .

In case y'all have missed them, JRW has been busy imagining what some of the patrol cars from Dukes would look like today. The link above wasn't initially showing up in the post, so when I figured out that it was hidden in there somewhere, I asked Mufn to fix it. It seemed like a fun idea, so I had a go myself. I started with a Chevy Caprice, and just put the standard decals on it: Then I tried a bit of updating: Finally, I couldn't resist doing a couple of Dodge Chargers:

I know he's been arrested and charged, but I didn't read anywhere that he's been convicted. You and NASCAR seem pretty convinced about his guilt, yet "although the Constitution of the United States does not cite it explicitly, presumption of innocence is widely held to follow from the 5th, 6th, and 14th amendments." - Wikipedia. If he's guilty, then obviously I wouldn't condone his behavior, and NASCAR should probably impose some kind of punishment, but let's wait until we know the facts/verdict.

I usually have at least six or seven windows open, and only restart my computer about once a week, so I rarely see my desktop. Consequently, it's been the same for ages. It's an arty shot of a Mitchell Gyro Dec turntable. When I was a teenager, this was on my dream list for the ultimate hi-fi system. They were well out of my price range, but I loved the clear base and polished cylinders. Mitchell is actually an engineering company rather than a hi-fi company, and still produce the Gyro Dec today. They now cost $2000-3000 - more info here. I also remember its appearance in a cereal commercial at about the same time:

In other motorsport news: Last week Garrett reported on Dario Franchitti's horrendous crash at the Houston Grand Prix. He broke two vertebrae in his spine, two ribs and an ankle, but was released from hospital yesterday. Dario still faces a second operation on his ankle, but said he was "overwhelmed by the outpouring of support". You can read more here. Sadder news from Spain today: F1 reserve driver María de Villota was found dead in her hotel this morning. Last year María was involved in a crash during testing in which she received head injuries and lost her right eye, but was cleared to go racing again in February. No definite cause of death has been given yet, but a heart attack is suspected. She was 33. More info here. Getty Images

I finally remembered to check the qualifying times on a Friday, and found that qualifying was yesterday . Anyway, I'm sure Garrett will be pleased to see who's on pole for tomorrow's race. 1 Jeff Gordon 2 Kevin Harvick 3 Greg Biffle 4 Jimmie Johnson 5 Kasey Kahne 6 Dale Earnhardt Jr 7 Ryan Newman 8 Juan Pablo Montoya 9 Kyle Busch 10 Kurt Busch 11 Aric Almirola 12 Joey Logano 13 Paul Menard 14 Clint Bowyer 15 Carl Edwards 16 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 17 Martin Truex Jr 18 Denny Hamlin 19 Brian Scott 20 Matt Kenseth 21 Kyle Larson 22 Mark Martin 23 Brad Keselowski 24 Bobby Labonte 25 Jamie McMurray 26 Jeff Burton 27 Brian Vickers 28 Casey Mears 29 Marcos Ambrose 30 David Ragan 31 Cole Whitt 32 Landon Cassill 33 Josh Wise 34 David Gilliland 35 Danica Patrick 36 David Reutimann 37 Michael McDowell 38 Joe Nemechek 39 Dave Blaney 40 Timmy Hill 41 Travis Kvapil 42 J.J. Yeley 43 Blake Koch The Bank of America 500 from the Charlotte Motor Speedway is tomorrow night (Saturday). I wish NASCAR.com could be consistent with their times - it's either at 6:30 PM ET or 7:30 PM ET. It's generally the later of the two times they give. Either way, the race is live on ABC this week. The start time means it will probably finish too late for me to see the end this week as I'll be up early on Sunday morning to watch the Japanese Grand Prix.

Do y'all remember the Capital City Motel that appeared in 'Enos and Daisy's Wedding'. I posted pictures back in post #123. Here's a reminder: At the time, I thought it might have been a real motel, but as I found more locations, I got the feeling that it could be somewhere on the backlot. I now have the location courtesy of Moxie from the 'Scarecrow and Mrs King' site (see two posts back). The picture below shows the office building on the WB backlot that was used as the motel. It was taken by Moxie during a visit to Burbank at the beginning of the year. The Google Maps view below shows the office/motel building roughly in the center at the top. Hazzard Square is at the bottom, and some of New York Street can be seen at the left. I've marked the rough camera location for Moxie's picture with an arrow. I had considered this building before, but ruled it out because I thought it was single-story. Also, the 45-degree view on Google Maps which shows the eastern side is too dark to see any detail. Thanks to Moxie for both identifying the location and letting me use the picture.
