Here's a UK commercial for Somersby Cider where the launch is promoted like a new technical device. The main ingredient of cider may give you a clue to which company they are having a dig at

Hey, Garrett. It sounds like you enjoyed watching some men with sticks hit a ball around a field yesterday, but it doesn't excuse you from your NASCAR duties
. Maybe it was seeing your drivers in 17th and 29th that put you off writing up the qualifying. I'm happy with Ricky's 15th, although it's a shame that Tony Stewart got in the middle to split up all the Juniors .Sunday's Quicken Loans 400 race at the Michigan International Speedway is at 01:00 PM ET, and will be on TNT.

Welcome back to full-time participation, CD. I hope the exams went well.
This might not mean anything to our friends across The Pond, or to someone your age, but when I saw the thread title I thought of this character
.

"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else."
I was watching an episode of the '70s comedy 'Taxi' last night when one of the drivers quoted this as one of the things his father used to say to him. When it was pointed out that George Bernard Shaw said it, it prompted one of the other drivers to ask "Your father was George Bernard Shaw?"
-
It's the SAME for me, Roger. Uh, HossC's threads too are great (for example the one 'bout Hazzard's square).
Thanks for your comments. I'm sure Hazzard Square used to be Roger's favorite thread - he's so fickle
.
I never cared much for the guy on the right. I always thought his acting was a little wooden

Thanks for the extra info.

This picture and the one above are from some show in Georgia where multiple actors from different TV shows came. As you might be able to notice. It's not a Warner Brothers General Lee as it has backup light's, an R/T logo and no CB Antenna.
When you say "not a Warner Brothers General Lee", do you mean not from the show, or do you mean not one of the cars that Warner Bros built in-house (the Veluzats built a lot of cars used in the show)? Either way, many of the early Generals had backup lights. I have a screengrab of a General with an R/T badge on the grill, but can't remember whether I ever saw one on the back. The lack of CB antenna and license plate would suggest it's not from the show.

But i can not remember the dukes having a bathroom, I remember they have a big tin bath bucket, I do not know the correct word for it
I'd probably just call it a tin bath.
I remember the big tin bath bucket... but I also rememebr a bathroom with a bathtube. Or, at least, I remember Daisy complaining about Bo's hair in the bathtube (in "Officer Daisy Duke"?). I'm goin' to check... tomorrow... now gotta go to bed, LOL.In 'Officer Daisy Duke', Bo and Luke are arguing in the kitchen when Luke says "Another thing, the bathtub ring is disgusting. And them blond hairs of yours in the drain don't do one thing...". A drain would suggest a bathroom.

I don't really understand this picture. It's easy to see that this is after 1985 as they look much older, also the building behind them seems to be Hazzard Bank but it says something totally different on the window.
It's from the Reunion movie. The bank became Mama Max's Development Corporation, and the text on the window says "Real Estate". See the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pictures in this post from the Hazzard Square thread.
-
Not everyone is Jeff Gordon.
Are you sure about that?
-
But Daisy's Song was a Georgia episode meaning it wasn't filmed at the Warner Brothers backlot, which is where the Behind the scenes picture was taken. Also you can easily see the behind the scenes picture has been taken much later as the cast looks older and the "Axtell Bail Bonds" has been replaced by "Hogg Bail Bonds".
The picture you posted was behind the scenes of 'Dukescam Scam' in season 4. I used a similar picture (minus the sunglasses
) in the Hazzard Square thread.

... today only reinforced my feelings as we saw more commercials than racing on TNT...
I have to admit that I only had half an eye on most of the race because it clashed with the Montreal Grand Prix, but it did feel like there were more commercial breaks than previous races. There were exactly the same number of commercial breaks during the grand prix as usual - none!
I was disappointed that Ricky seemed to lose about five places at each of the final cautions, but he did manage to beat (or should I say pass
) his girlfriend with about two laps to go. -
As Garrett said, this week it's the Party in the Poconos 400. The race is at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday. Garrett also mentioned that the qualifying had been washed out, so the starting lineup is based on current points:

While I was looking for the lineup, I came across this interesting article:
Ranking the 10 Greatest Mustaches in NASCAR History
Garrett, can you guess which driver this quote is about?:
"Long before [he] began to turn gray, long before he briefly sported a goatee and a shaved head, long before he began to look like a young(er) Jeff Foxworthy, he was just a kid in his early 20s with a terrible mustache."

The new Axalta paint scheme looks good with flames down the side:

It was probably the CMT Awards. I couldn't find the clip where they discuss Paris Jackson, but I did find a short clip that includes John Schneider, Nelly, and Larry The Cable Guy:

Don't forget that it's the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend - I thought I'd mention it as it's on at the US friendly time of 2.00 PM ET on Sunday (that's actually the time the race starts, not when they begin thinking about starting the engines). They had rain before first practice today, and there may be rain for qualifying and the race, and I hope there is. The rain-delayed race of 2011 was one of the most exciting races of recent years. The circuit has straights where the drivers hit 200 mph, a 45 mph hairpin bend and the infamous "Wall of Champions" that has ended the races of many top drivers in the past.

This is Cam Cornelius, he was set to record a song with Sonny. I don't know if the recording ever happened.
Here it is:
The original was a #1 hit in the UK and Ireland back in 1980:

I've just Googled "Jim Hogg Cigars" to see if they're real. It looks like this is a genuine poster from the 1920s, although James Stephen "Big Jim" Hogg (20th Governor of Texas) died in 1906. Believe it or not, he named his daughter Ima Hogg (rumors that she had a sister called Ura are untrue). Ima and her brothers were more like Abraham Lincoln Hogg rather than Boss: when oil was discovered on their land in 1918, the Hoggs did not believe that the oil money was rightfully theirs, as it had come from the land and not hard work, and they were determined to use it for the good of Texas.

Does someone love Peanuts?
Charles M. Schulz sure did know how to write a good quote. I like this one:
"I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong."
or how about this one?
"No problem is so big or so complicated that it can't be run away from!"
I know Steven Wright is a comedian rather than an author, but I always liked this quote:
"You know how it feels when you're leaning back on a chair, and you lean too far back, and you almost fall over backwards, but then you catch yourself at the last second? I feel like that all the time."
But then we are talking about a man who said this:
"I bought some powdered water, but I don't know what to add to it."

Well it looks like Brad got away with a six point penalty as predicted. NASCAR also fined crew chief Paul Wolfe $25,000. Penske Racing said Brad's car "experienced a part failure during Sunday's Dover race (that) resulted in the car's front end being too low when presented for postrace inspection." They do not plan to appeal the penalties.
Full story here.

I didn't expect that. could it be that it was never used? It looks like the sign was made to fit on the building that used to stand on number 25 from your Hazzard Square thread.
You could be right, although I don't remember the word "GARAGE" appearing in any of the impound signs used in the show.
I think this first one was recycled from 'The Hack of Hazzard', which used a different building.
This one from season 6 is nearer the right size, but is a different style and clearly labeled "Chickasaw".
-
please don't mind the text at the top of the picture.
But I agree with the text at the top of the picture
.
I find this quite an interesting picture as it shows the shop the General Lee's were prepared for the show.
I thought they might have used one of the impound yard signs from the show to decorate their workshop, but it doesn't match any of the screengrabs I have. Maybe they got the props department to make one in a similar style.

This first one seems to predict the internet and some of my experiences with it
:"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance." - George Bernard Shaw
It's easy to doubt yourself once in a while:
"Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong." - Oscar Wilde
Maybe because my age is currently the same as the answer to "Life, the Universe and Everything" I can relate to these:
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." - Douglas Adams
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams
I recently found this one: "People who are unable to lie, think that everybody is unable to lie", Kafka.Here's what George Bernard Shaw had to say about liars:
"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else."

Thanks for sharing - I've never seen it before. From the YouTube comments it looks like it may have been uploaded by the boy in the film, but I'd like to know a little more about it.
