  1. Hobie, you remind me of a sign I had at my bedside while I was at college : I'm not under the affluence of incohol that some thinkle peep I am. It's just the drunker I stay here, the longer I get!
  2. The flat hood (without vents) would suggest to me that Coy and Vance's car was a 1974 Plymouth Satellite rather than a Road Runner. It's still possible that they reused one of Daisy's early Road Runners, but the cars were probably cheap and easy to get hold of in the early '80s, so it's just as likely that they were different cars. 1974 Plymouth Satellites featured in two season 4 episodes, 'Goodbye General Lee' and 'Birds Gotta Fly', so my guess would be that if they reused cars, it would be from those episodes. PJ, I'm afraid that MaryAnne is right about the white stripe. Here's the car on fire - I'll leave it up to y'all to decide if the luggage survived. I never understood why they didn't just reverse!
  3. I know that everyone in the US celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Dukes of Hazzard back in January, but in the UK it didn't start until March 3rd, 1979. Below is the listing from the Radio Times (roughly the UK equivalent of the TV Guide) from that day. As y'all can see, it was originally shown at 9 PM on a Saturday night, but soon moved to an earlier Saturday slot. Back then we only had three channels, and no breakfast or daytime TV (except programs for schools). The two football leagues mentioned in the Match of the Day listing are now known as the Premier League and the Championship. Most of the other names bring back memories too . (Yes, I did spot the misspelling of Gy Waldron's name)
  4. By the look of his IMDb page, he's still doing a bit of acting. They list him as Mayor Johnny Daggett in a 2013 episode of the TV series 'Rectify'. He'll play Jasper Jones in a 2014 movie named 'When the Storm God Rides' which is currently listed as "pre-production", and Officer Murray in a 2015 movie named 'Dead End' which is listed as "post-production". Not bad considering he turns 79 in August!
  5. I suppose I should be happy with 18th today. It's three places better than he started, and about ten places better than where he spent most of the race. I was hoping for a storming finish when Ricky got back on the lead lap with about 26 laps to go, but this circuit obviously doesn't suit him as much as last week.
  6. I put "military code" in quotes because the exchange between Rosco and Enos goes like this: Rosco: Blue Fox, this is Red Dog. I'm on target. Enos: Okay, sure. What now? Rosco: Dang it, Enos, will you please use the military code? Enos: Okay, Hound Dog. Rosco: It's not Hound Dog, it's Red Dog, you dipstick. Enos: Yes, sir.
  7. Welcome to HazzardNet, PJ. I'm also from the UK, but currently living across the water in Ireland.
  8. Strictly speaking, that wasn't a CB handle. It was Rosco's "military code" to be used on the field telephones he'd bought at the army surplus in 'Swamp Molly'. Enos was Blue Fox. Also in Rosco's code, Luke was Tweedledum and Bo was Tweedledee.
  9. I had planned to watch the qualifying yesterday as they were using the new group qualifying format for the first time. Then I completely forgot . Sunday's race is the "The Profit on CNBC 500, Presented by Small Business Fueling America" from the Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, AZ. Brad Keselowski lines up on pole, with Justin Allgaier qualifying bringing up the rear, despite hitting a wall during qualifying. An article on NASCAR.com points out that the top three drivers are from teams with IndyCar connections, so the teams have some experience with knockout qualifying. 1 Brad Keselowski 2 Joey Logano 3 Jamie McMurray 4 Jimmie Johnson 5 Dale Earnhardt Jr 6 Greg Biffle 7 Kyle Busch 8 Kyle Larson 9 Aric Almirola 10 Kurt Busch 11 Kasey Kahne 12 Denny Hamlin 13 Kevin Harvick 14 Clint Bowyer 15 Ryan Newman 16 Brian Vickers 17 Jeff Gordon 18 Casey Mears 19 Matt Kenseth 20 Tony Stewart 21 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 22 Paul Menard 23 Carl Edwards 24 Austin Dillon 25 AJ Allmendinger 26 Michael McDowell 27 Martin Truex Jr 28 David Gilliland 29 Marcos Ambrose 30 David Ragan 31 Cole Whitt 32 Brian Scott 33 Danica Patrick 34 Ryan Truex 35 Alex Bowman 36 Parker Kligerman 37 Blake Koch 38 Joe Nemechek 39 Reed Sorenson 40 Travis Kvapil 41 Michael Annett 42 Morgan Shepherd 43 Justin Allgaier Landon Cassill, Josh Wise and Dave Blaney failed to qualify. Tomorrow's (Sunday's) race is at 03:00 PM ET, live on FOX.
  10. Last year, Jeff Gordon did a test drive prank for a Pepsi MAX commercial (see Garrett's post here). Some people called the prank fake, so this year Jeff agreed to help prank one of those people: a journalist from Jalopnik.
  11. coyote (I seem to remember having to watch a movie called 'Coyote Ugly' many years ago) Surely it's times like that when the moonshine comes in handy - you can go home with a supermodel every night .
  12. The subtitles say "I'll pound her down.", and that's what it sounds like to me. For this one the subtitles say "We're going to need directions...if I can work on my instrument in here.", but I think your version is nearer. I'll try listening to it again in the morning.
  13. I've just looked at my screengrab again. There's no way that could have been the official top five as they've listed six names .
  14. The window on the left is above the Barber Shop.
  15. Thanks for the race review, Garrett. Here's the last lap summary from the lap-by-lap guide that made me think Stenhouse had got fifth (and Gordon third). I guess they took the result from just before the final flag.
  16. I did a quick round-up of the cards featuring 'Carnival of Thrills' jump pictures a couple of years ago. You can see it here.
  17. Roth - I recreated the card using your photo of Cathy.
  18. You're forgetting "Supreme Superior Commander", but I can't see that position becoming vacant any time soon .
  19. Garrett, I hope you can fill in the latter part of the race for me. With that rain delay, I only made it up to about lap 120 before I had to call it a night. I caught up with the result this morning, but did I miss much? What happened to Ricky? He was running around 10th after the rain restart, but then fell to near the back. He was still back in 28th when I turned it off. The lap-by-lap guide puts him at 22nd with 18 to go, but then puts him in provisional 5th at the end before finally being given 7th. Rick Hendrick must be pleased to get the win and two more drivers in the top 5.
  20. As Hobie said, the scene is from about halfway through 'Coy vs. Vance' (S05E16), and takes place outside the boarding house. There's too much movement to get a clear grab of the fight, but here's Daisy holding the boys apart:
  21. In case it helps, here's a picture of Cooter and Nancylou: IMDb gives Kim Richards' height as 5' 1" if that's any use to you. YouTube has the scene where Nancylou first meets her father:
  22. In the episode, Nancylou says she turned 18 the week before. When Cooter's being asked about his relationship with her mother, he says: "I wasn't no more than a kid..." I'm afraid I can't help you with Buster's age .
  23. Wellington (Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, KG GCB GCH PC FRS was a famous military leader who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice in the 19th Century)

    Commercials

    Here's a commercial for a mobile phone provider which features a young girl and her cat singing along to Starship's 1985 hit 'We Built This City' while riding around in circles. As the tagline says: "We all need silly stuff"! The official upload seems to be region-locked (based on the comments), so I hope this video works for everyone.

    Chat

    The chat room is open all the time, but we used to try and organize specific times to meet there. At the end of last year we managed a couple times where we picked an episode and then all watched our DVDs together while discussing it in the chat room. I don't think we've managed it since Christmas. If you fancy suggesting a time or event, please do. Just remember that some of us are in Europe, so you need to take the time difference into account .
