You reminded me of a British comedian called Jasper Carrott. He's the real-life father of the actress who played the receptionist in the original version of 'The Office'. One of the routines he's best known for is funny insurance claims, and one of them includes: "I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel." You can see some more of them here. Joking aside, you and CD give some very good advice for young drivers. I'll add something that I was genuinely told when I was learning to drive: "Driving at night is just like driving in the day, except it's dark!"

The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread
HossC replied to Meadowmufn's topic in Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
Oh dear, no winners again. The answer is a blond Duke: E) Christopher Hensel (Jeb Stuart Duke). I am giving two bonus points to BL because the rest of the team was Rick Hurst, Lindsay Bloom (Myrtle/Mabel Tillingham), Peggy Rea and Jeff Altman (Hughie Hogg). Here's some pictures from the show. I would credit the site where I found them, but it included one of JulieDuke's posts that had been cut/pasted from here without any credit to HazzardNet! This episode certainly didn't have as many main characters as 'Dukes of Hazzard vs. The Waltons' or 'Dukes of Hazzard vs. Angie'. IMDb says both of those episodes featured John Schneider, Tom Wopat, Catherine Bach, Denver Pyle and Sorrell Booke, but 'Dukes of Hazzard vs. The Waltons' definitely had James Best instead of John Schneider (see the video ). From what little information I can find, 'Dukes of Hazzard vs. Angie' was a play-off between the winners of 'Dukes of Hazzard vs. The Waltons' and 'The Ropers vs. Angie', so I'm assuming the cast was the same. Here's how that team looked (new question below): I don't know how many of y'all saw the pictures of Tom Wopat in 'Longmire' that I posted during the week, but it gave me an idea for another question. In that 'Longmire' episode Tom played a sheriff. How many of these cast members have played sheriffs in TV shows and movies? Pick as many as you like! A) John Schneider Denver Pyle C) Sorrell Booke D) James Best E) Sonny Shroyer F) Christopher Mayer G) Byron Cherry H) Ben Jones -
There were certainly a few more Ford vans than other makes, but Madame Delilah's van in 'The Fortune Tellers' (below) was a Dodge Tradesman, as was Hughie Hogg's RV in 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again', and the Baxley Sisters drove a Chevy. There were also plenty of Chevy/GMC pickups and larger trucks, including several driven by Cooter. The Swift Step Van (below) made several appearances in early seasons:

Now that I have an Econoline outline I've decided to add Rhuebottom's van. Despite Rhuebottom's store being a regular in Hazzard Square throughout most of the series, I think the van only showed up in 'Pin the Tail on the Dukes'. The rectangular headlights and covered gas cap mark this out as a later model than the Apex vans. There are a couple of screengrabs of the van in the bloopers thread.

As soon as I read the title of Garrett's song I started humming this. It was then that I realized that my recent familiarity with the tune was due to its use on a commercial, although I had no idea what they were advertising until I looked it up (turns out it's a skin care product). Good Morning Freedom - Blue Mink Blue Mink may not be a familiar name, but they had some influential members. Vocalist Roger Cook co-wrote several hits including 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony)', Madeline Bell sang backing vocals for Dusty Springfield and Donna Summer, and bassist Herbie Flowers was a well-known session musician who played on hits for Elton John, David Bowie, Lou Reed (including the prominent bass line of 'Walk on the Wild Side') and on Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of 'The War of the Worlds' among many others. Flowers also composed the hit 'Grandad' which I posted recently in One Word Song Titles as a tribute to Clive Dunn.

The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread

When I saw Jason Bernard I knew he'd been in Dukes, but I had to look up the episode. I'm afraid that neither of you got the 'Liar, Liar' question (BL, you should know better than to agree with Roger ). The answer is Christopher Mayer, who was listed as "Chip Mayer" in the credits (new question below): I'm going to be environmentally friendly now and recycle my last choices . I've found three episodes of 'Family Feud' that featured a Dukes team. Which one of the male Duke cousins appeared on the episode titled 'The Jeffersons vs. Dukes of Hazzard'? A) John Schneider (Bo Duke) Tom Wopat (Luke Duke) C) Byron Cherry (Coy Duke) D) Christopher Mayer (Vance Duke) E) Christopher Hensel (Jeb Stuart Duke) F) Randy Hamilton (Jud Kane) Bonus points for naming the four other cast members that appeared on that episode. -

Sorry BL, but Roger and MaryAnne have this one. It also means that Roger has two grandchildren named after Dukes . The name is only mentioned once, so you did well to remember. Here's the line (next question below): I watched the 1997 Jim Carrey movie 'Liar Liar' over the weekend and spotted a couple of Dukes actors. The judge was played by Jason Bernard who was the studio guard in 'The Dukes in Hollywood' (sadly, it was his last acting role). The other Dukes actor played Jennifer Tilly's love interest, but which Duke family member was it? A) John Schneider (Bo Duke) Tom Wopat (Luke Duke) C) Byron Cherry (Coy Duke) D) Christopher Mayer (Vance Duke) E) Christopher Hensel (Jeb Stuart Duke) F) Randy Hamilton (Jud Kane) Here's a picture of Jason Bernard in the movie to act as a reminder: -
I stumbled on this thread again earlier and tracked down a site where I could watch the episode online. As previous posters have said, Tom doesn't get a lot of screen time, but it was interesting to see him playing a slightly uncooperative sheriff from a neighboring county - how times change . The IMDb page has now been updated to include Tom in the credits.

A few weeks ago I got asked a question about the vans that appeared in Dukes. I think the only one I've done so far is Cooter's van from 'Uncle Boss'. To put that right, here's the 'Apex Rent-a-truck' Ford Econoline van from 'Coy Meets Girl'. It's listed as a 1975 on imcdb.org, although I'm not sure how you tell the 1975-78 models apart. The Apex vans appear to have nudge bars like wider versions of the one found on the General. They must have used at least three different trucks, and the decals were different on each one. Look at the grabs below and you'll see that there's no consistency about the location of side logos and "rent-a-truck" text, the side stripes change color or go missing, and the rear "rent-a-truck" text changes size! In my version (above) I decided to go with the most common appearance, which is the way I would've done the real vans.

Well Roger, it's good news and bad news. You were right to say that Jeremiah was Denver's character in 'Go West Young Dukes', but I think you remembered Ezra from the last time I used these answers. Ezra was Granny Annie's husband. Why not have a second guess now that a third of the answers have been eliminated (that applies to you too, BL), and anyone else who wants a first guess . -
I found a blog by the trainer. It's got pictures, videos, and some information. You can see it here. I was only asking because the people where I live might not like you leaving the "Irish" out . People get quite creative with horse names; I think one of my favorites is "Hoof Hearted". If you don't get the joke, a short piece of commentary that should make it clear.
-
It sounds like you did well to get an ex-racehorse. I see he's had problems with his breathing and sore shins in the past - is he OK now? Why are you leaving the "Irish" out? Calling him "Red" may not be a good idea as his old stablemate was "Spitfire Red" - you wouldn't want to confuse your new horse would you?

That was a great spot, Roger. There's only a couple of shots of the TV, and the dialog is in Spanish. The episode they're watching is 'Mary Kaye's Baby'. When Brad Pitt is in the foreground you can just see Bo and Luke finding the moonshine on the back seat. It was difficult to get a clear grab of that, but here's the same shots as above, taken from my DVD. There was almost another Dukes tie-in. The guy who goes to meet Brad picks up a rental car in the previous scene. He asks what sort of car he's getting, and is told it's a new Chrysler. He then asks the rental guy for an alternative. When he arrives we see he's been given an orange Dodge Charger, although it's a '71.

That was obviously an easy one - points to BL and Roger. I have to confess that I didn't even know what a monkey paw was until I Googled things used for cheating to find some wrong answers. Apparently it's a device that you stick in old fruit machines to fool the coin counter. In 'Treasure of Hazzard' we get a look at the old Duke family Bible that's "got all the birthings and dyings in it since Caleb Duke came west in the middle 1700s". It says that on September 9, 1762, a son was born to Martha Duke. What was his name? A) Joshua Samuel C) Ezra D) Isaiah E) Jeremiah F) Ezekiel G) Daniel If the choices look familiar, it's because I copied them from a question I asked about Granny Annie's husband some time ago. -

Roger and MaryAnne got that right. I'll leave you to sort out how much manure you owe each other because I can't cover that sort of action . Sticking with the Sweetwater sheriff, what gambling/cheating equipment did he return to the bad guys when he left them at the county line? Pick as many as you think are correct! A) Loaded dice Monkey paw C) Pool cues D) Marked cards E) Fake ID -
I'm Into Something Good - Herman's Hermits Whenever I listen to this song it reminds me of , which was accompanied by lead singer Peter Noone's solo version.

So just the next race then? I assume they're unlikely to violate their probation when they're not racing. That seems like an odd rule when these are called "stock cars". Think of all the electronic devices there are in your road car. Do today's stock cars share a single component with their road-going namesakes?

Because there was a green-white-checker finish with a couple of extra laps it allowed Jimmie Johnson to overtake David Ragan. Poor Roger just can't catch a break this year .
