Maybe you should play to your wife - it's the first entirely Latin song in my collection that I could think of. The title comes from an inscription in the portico of Marilyn Monroe's last home, and means "My journey ends here" or "I finish the course".Latin was popular in New Age tracks of that era because you can also hear it in . The Latin text includes a quotation from Psalm 24:7-8. The video includes the Latin and English lyrics, as well as a Polish translation, which is odd because the group was founded in Germany by a Romanian!

You could always quote the well-known nonsense Latin verse: Caesar adsum iam forte, Brutus aderat, Caesar sic in omnibus, Brutus in isat. Apart from that, I remember my old school motto: "Ad astra per aspera" (Through hardships to the stars), which is very similar to the Royal Air Force motto: Per ardua ad astra (Through adversity to the stars). Anyway, tempus fugit, so I'll leave it there for now.

This is the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from 'National Lampoon's Vacation'. It started out as a 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire, but then it was given to "King of the Kustomizers", George Barris. It ended up with eight headlights, double rear lights, over-the-top wood panels, and metallic pea green paint. Strangely, this car doesn't appear on his website, but the General Lee does, and he had nothing to do with its creation. I didn't fancy doing the roof rack luggage from three different angles, so this is how it looked when Clark and Rusty collected it from 'Lou Glutz Motors'. Most of the decent sized photos I worked from were pictures of replicas created by fans, so I hope I got it near enough. Apparently, only one of the screen-used Trucksters survived filming, and is now at a museum in Roscoe, Illinois. John Hughes must've liked the look, because the Chrysler LeBaron Convertible based car driven by Steve Martin and John Candy in 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' had the same color scheme. The wood paneling is also carried over to the maroon Ford Taurus Wagon belonging to the Griswold's in 'Christmas Vacation'. You can see the Family Truckster in (the theme from the movie). It includes the scenes where Chevy Chase tries to find the gas cap and where he tries to impress Christie Brinkley.

It's well-deserved points to K-Duke there, and I think Roger was saying he's in agreement. There's not a lot more I can add apart from that she was a revenue agent. Incidentally, 'Frasier' was very popular over here, and is still shown regularly. I don't remember 'The Tortellis' ever being shown here, and my research for this question was the first I'd heard of the show. Luckily, I found a clip on YouTube, which hopefully excuses the poor quality of the screengrab. The smell of moonshine in the woods knocked out Roxanne, and we got a great exchange between Bo and Luke: Bo: You think we ought to give her mouth-to-mouth recreation? Luke: You mean resuscitation. Bo: Maybe, but I bet I'm a whole lot closer to the truth than you are. For anyone who's forgotten what she looked like in Dukes, here's some pictures. She was another guest star that got more costume changes than the regular cast - I think the top right one is my favorite (new question below). Sticking with 'High Octane', what was the name of the agent that Roxanne Huntley replaced? His name is mentioned several times, but I'll give multiple choice if y'all are struggling .

Channel 5, the UK channel that aired the new series of 'Dallas', showed a tribute to Larry Hagman during the week. It was a re-run of the an interview with 'Torchwood's' John Barrowman where he went to visit Larry sometime last year. Larry was in good spirits, and still very engaging as he showed John around his house and garage. It's sad to know he's gone. Sorry to go off topic, but I just thought I'd add that traditional butchers' shops in Ireland often have the word "Victualler" on their sign, which comes from the same Latin root.

I thought this one might prove tricky, so I'll narrow it down. She appeared in season 1. I'll accept a description of her character .

Thanks for your comments, Roger. I've just looked at the sheriff pictures again; is it just me that finds it odd seeing Denver without facial hair? Back to the question in hand, and it's well done to Roger. The answer to the last question is Apex. Ajax is a name brand that appears in Mickey Mouse stories, Acme appears in Warner Bros.'s Looney Tunes (Road Runner etc.), and Avis is a real rental company. The other two are just synonyms for Apex/Acme. I recently asked a question inspired by an episode of 'Cheers'. This one is 'Cheers' related, but concerns two of its spin-off shows. The actress pictured below appeared in 'The Tortellis' in 1987 (left) and 'Frasier' in 1997 (right). Can you give either her real name or the name of her character when she appeared in Dukes?

Moving on to the '80s: Back in the early '80s, The Art of Noise pushed sampling technology to the limit. Ironically, they later received a full writing credit for 'Firestarter' when The Prodigy sampled the word "Hey" from 'Close (To The Edit)'. If there are any other AON fans out there, there was a great multi-track remix that appeared a few years ago:

It's four points to BL, and five to Roger, although there were at least six points on offer! The only one where I couldn't find any record of them playing a sheriff is Christopher Mayer. Byron Cherry plays a character listed as "Sherriff" in a new movie called 'The Lighthouse', but since it hasn't been released yet I don't whether that spelling is a typo, or if it's just a name that's not connected with law enforcement. I would've given a point if anyone had said Byron. From the previous question I know that IMDb isn't 100% reliable, so I searched out some of the other performances. Here's some pictures of the six I'm definite about. According to IMdb: John has played a sheriff three times: 'Bandit: Bandit Bandit' (1994), 'Lake Placid 2' (2007)(above), 'Whiskey Business' (2012). Sorrell has played a sheriff four times: 'NBC Children's Theatre: Robin Hood' (1964), 'Kung Fu: A Dream Within a Dream' (1974)(above), 'Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers' (1987)(voice), 'Captain Planet and the Planeteers' (1994). Denver has played a sheriff more than 10 times, mainly in Western TV shows including 'Bonanza: The Boss' (1963)(above). Sonny has played a sheriff four times: 'Scattered Dreams' (1993), 'Bastard Out of Carolina' (1996)(above), 'The Gingerbread Man' (1998), 'A Tale About Bootlegging' (2005). Ben has only played a sheriff once: 'Sliders: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?' (1998)(above). Jimmie, like Denver, has played many sheriffs, again, mainly in Western TV shows including 'Bonanza: The Price of Salt' (1968)(above). It's nice to see Sorrell and Jimmie supporting Movember. The last few questions have been quite hard, so here's an easier one (especially if you've been reading my recent posts!). What was the name of the Rent-a-Truck company in 'Coy Meets Girls'?: A) Apex Rent-a-Truck Summit Rent-a-Truck C) Avis Rent-a-Truck D) Ajax Rent-a-Truck E) Zenith Rent-a-Truck F) Acme Rent-a-Truck

I've got another one from the '70s for you. This time it's a classic from 1975: Y'all may know this from the end of 'Lethal Weapon 4' or a Pepsi Max commercial: This version by Smash Mouth was released in the late '90s.

I came so close to a Dukes connection in my last choice without even realizing it. Within half an hour of posting 'Are Friends Electric?' I'm watching a program celebrating 60 years of the UK pop charts, and this song comes on, accompanied with some facts about the band. Turns out it was formed by Gary Numan (or Gary Webb as he was known then), his friend Paul Gardiner, and his uncle, Jess (Lidyard) .

Here's one that made #1 in the UK charts in the same year that Dukes started: Are 'Friends' Electric? - Tubeway Army (aka Gary Numan) In 2001, British girl group Sugababes used a big sample of this track in 'Freak Like Me': While I was looking for the original video I came across quite a few covers, including one I'd never heard by Reverend Parsley's Bible Society. Considering the original is one of the definitive early electronic/synth classics, I was surprised at how well it worked in a folk style. Don't worry - I don't think anyone's bothered about a Dukes connection since the first few posts. As long as at least one word is shared by the song titles, you're fine. I looked up 'Emergency!'. It actually ran from 1972-79, so the last season overlapped with the first season of Dukes.

From the Road Safety Authority website: Driving while using a mobile phone: 2 penalty points and fixed-charge of €60; 4 penalty points and possible €2,000 fine on conviction in court for non-payment of fixed charge. You can see the other offences that incur penalty points here. You're right about the 12 point limit, and points stay on your licence for three years. From the RSA website again: Any driver accumulating 12 penalty points within any given three-year period will be automatically disqualified from driving for six months. The driver is required to surrender his/her licence to the appropriate licensing authority within 14 days of receiving notification of the disqualification. It is an offence not to surrender a licence. It is also an offence to drive while disqualified.

I've just remembered some unhelpful advice as well. It's a sketch from a British sketch show that pokes fun at old British public information films (the UK equivalent of public service announcements) and old-fashioned sexist attitudes: The Harry Enfield Show - Women Drivers At least times had changed by the time 'Officer Daisy Duke' came around: "This here Equal Opportunities law says that the sheriff's office has gotta open jobs for ladies now, just like regular people."

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!"

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:

Hazzard

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.
