  1. Apart from a couple of brief, heavy thunder storms, we've had two or three weeks of sunny weather here, so it got me thinking of summer songs. This is another one-hit-wonder, and it topped the UK charts for a week in 1975.

    All that remains is for me to welcome you aboard Coconut Airways flight 372 to Bridgetown, Barbados. :)

    Barbados - Typically Tropical

    Just for Roth, the song was covered/re-worked in 1998 by Dutch dance band Vengaboys. Their version was called

    (they use a very dubious pronunciation of Ibiza).
  2. Garrett didn't mention that the dogs were Cubs fans ...

    I wasn't aware that dogs followed baseball, although, after watching 'The Big Bang Theory', I knew they liked football:

    (Leonard is wearing a huge football jersey)

    Leonard: What’s wrong with a football jersey?

    Sheldon: Nothing. That, however, appears to be a football cocktail dress.

    Leonard: It’s the smallest size they had, except the one for dogs. I can’t believe they had one for dogs.

    Sheldon: Oh, yes. Canine football fans are a common sight in Texas. Cats, however, refuse to wear sporting apparel. My sister found that out the hard way.

    They were just talking about how rude it is that people get off topic in pubic forums.

    I'm not going to judge you on the websites you visit, but it may explain why your computer keeps getting viruses ;).

    Look'ee here!

    I wonder if the person who drew this had ever seen what Bo and Luke look like, or were they just described over the phone. On another issue, I never understood why all the models of Cooter's tow truck have an all red rear section. The inside was red, but the outside was mainly white.

    I forgot which episode it was but I believe it is the one where they try to kill Boss in order to get his county.

    It was 'Witness for the Persecution' from season 2 that originally aired in the US on November 16, 1979. The two-part Dallas that aired the same night was from season 3, and imaginatively titled 'Mastectomy'.

  4. Thanks for all the info Hoss but you are lacking the one piece of info I have been searching for the past two days...whether or not I have it. LOL. I don't have cable but my parents do so really don't know all their channels...just the few that I watch from time to time.

    I'll pop over to your parents' house at the weekend and have a look ;).

  5. I have never heard of that program before either. My parents...who has cable as I do not...has ABCSP...don't know if it is the same or not? This has me nervous...LOL

    The channel started out in July 1995 as the Outdoor Life Network (OLN). It was relaunched as Versus in September 2006. After Comcast merged its channels with those of NBC, and to reflect the new sports programming, the channel became NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) on January 2, 2012. You can read all about them here.

    I've got no idea what FJM means.

    I think this picture is from one of the Georgia episode as the police car looks to be a Dodge Monaco.

    I'd guess that FJM is just the name of an Ebay seller.

    The outfits are the same as this well-known image:

    DukesTrio.jpg

    I say "well-known" because it used to be part of the old HNet header:

    HNetOldHeader.jpg

    Another picture of Daisy on her own, again in the same outfit, shows the General without the door number, so I'd agree that this is an early photoshoot.

    DukesDaisy.jpg

    By the pattern on Daisy's belt, I'd say that your picture has been mirrored.

    BTW. Your last image doesn't show up for me, and tells me that it contains errors when I try to load it directly.

  7. Thanks for passing on the sad news, Mufn.

    I've just been checking out his IMDb page. His last role was as the voice of Principal Moss on 'King of the Hill' (I watched early episodes before it moved to a channel I don't have), but his last on-screen roles were in 'My Name is Earl'. Here's a grab from each of his three appearances between 2005 and 2008:

    Randy's Touchdown (Season 1, Episode 3) as 'Impound Owner'.

    Number One (Season 1, Episode 24) as 'Roy Wade'.

    Sold a Guy a Lemon Car (Season 4, Episode 9) as 'Junkyard Owner'.

    There's an article about Dennis on Today.com that mentions Dukes among his many acting roles.

    the 6th annual Hazzard Hoe-Down at Hazzard Square.

    What is a Hoe-Down?

    According to the Urban Dictionary, it's a "redneck gathering [that] usually involves shouting catchy phrases like 'yee-haw'." I can't quote some of their other definitions on these pages ;). Wikipedia describes it as "a type of American folk dance or square dance in duple meter, and also the musical form associated with it."

  9. Well here is a song from a group that didn't turn out to be a one hit wonder...

    More's the pity ;).

    Eurythmics aren't known for their acoustic songs, but when you can sing like Annie Lennox, you don't need any more than an acoustic guitar as backing. This version, that sounds like a live performance, is exactly how it appeared on the 1987 album 'Savage' (with a little applause added at the end).

    I Need You - Eurythmics
