I spotted this knife in 'Too Many Roscos'. It's from the scene where Bo and Luke are tied up in the same shack as Rosco (although they haven't discovered him at this point). The main part of the handle is bone colored, so it may be the same as the one Sissy saw in 'Miz Tisdale on the Lam' (see above). The handle also features a fancy gold portion nearest the blade:
I'll have to leave the identification of his one to you guys. Everyone here doesn't own a knife (unless they live in Limerick - joke for Irish readers there
), so I have no personal experience. -
I keep adding pictures to my "unknown" folder, so it's great when I can pull a couple out and cross them off the list. I was actually trying to find a completely different location when I found this one. The pictures are from near the end of 'Hazzard Connection'. Most of the action takes place on either Carlisle Road or Potrero Road near Lake Sherwood. For some reason this very short scene was filmed nowhere near there. A few posts back I posted some pictures from Placerita Canyon Road. If I'd only kept following it I'd have found this place earlier. It's right at the end at the intersection with Sand Canyon Road. The houses in the background are still there, but they're now hidden by trees.
Here's the view from a different angle with Placerita Canyon Road on the right. Click here to see how it looks today.
If you zoom out of Street View and go about half a mile south from this intersection you come to Sable Ranch where the obstacle course from the game show 'Wipeout' is located. You'll have to zoom right in and have the 45 degree view turned on to see it properly, otherwise you'll just see unfinished blue shapes in a field.

What I think MAY work well would be to take the exisiting original cast and give them small, tiny even itty bitty parts,
David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser had cameos in the 2004 Starsky and Hutch movie, as did Dwight Schultz and Dirk Benedict in the 2010 A-Team movie, so there is a precedent for the original stars to appear in remakes. Having said that, it would need to be much better script than the last two Dukes movies to entice any of our favorites back (just my opinion, obviously).

As I said, I don't have any factual facts to back up what I said ...
I love the idea that there's another kind of facts

By the way, did you know Sunday was Garrett's birthday?
I did. It's a shame Jeff Gordon didn't though - I think a win was the birthday present Garrett was looking for

You can have my two cents Roger. I read a few forums on this subject last night, and I believe there are a number of factors. The fact that she's a rookie may have had an influence on NASCAR's decision, although I don't see it as an excuse for her behavior. Her being a girl (they call female drivers in lower formulae 'lady racers' over here) is probably an indirect influence: NASCAR want viewers, and are probably banking on Danica bringing some new viewers with her. Suspending her would risk losing these new viewers, even if some of them are only watching because, to quote you, "she's a she".
I find Danica's behavior the other night to be at odds with what I've seen before. I haven't seen any of the IndyCar series this year, but I've seen quite a few races from the previous two seasons, and I don't remember her doing anything like this. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunately, the uploader of that video didn't want anyone from my region to see it
. I found HD footage of the crash
. I've seen some of the male drivers behave like that; Danica obviously figures that to succeed, she has to be that stupid too. I don't mind a bit of nudging, it adds to the sport, but dangerous behavior like that should get an automatic suspension. If she'd tried it on the road she'd probably be in jail. -
You're right Garrett, it does have a good message.
How about some mellow reggae?
There Are More Questions Than Answers - Johnny Nash
I first heard this song back in the '80s when the BBC used it for the Mystery Personality round in their sports quiz 'A Question of Sport'. The show's still going, but they no longer use this great tune.

Welcome to HNet. Hope you enjoy your stay

I wanted to find that episode of Glee. Which one was it? What was the name and when did it air?
It's not my sort of thing, but according to IMDb the episode was called 'Hold on to Sixteen'. It's episode 8 of season 3, and originally aired on the 6th of December 2011.

Sorry Roger, I can't remember the answer to your question, but I have a related aside. Back in 1983 I had a Pac-Man watch which had Dixie as its alarm tune. How cool was that? Not only could I play Pac-Man on my watch, but it also had the General Lee's horn as an alarm. I wish I'd kept it - they go for a fortune on Ebay.
When I did a quick Google search to confirm my memory of the alarm was correct I found that a similar watch can be heard on some versions of 'Rock the Casbah' by The Clash - click
and listen at about 1:52. I can't hear it on the version used with the released video, but it does feature a convertible white 1970s Cadillac (a '75/'76 I think) with horns on the hood, and the director of photography was John Hazard - you can see that one.I think that's enough tenuous Dukes links for one post

I've just been flicking through 'Find Loretta Lynn' and given the number of bloopers I spotted, I think 'Find the Continuity Person' would've been a better title.
I'll start with the scene at the Boar's Nest where Rosco and Enos's cars are chained together. In the close-ups the chains are clearly tied around the bumpers of each car, but in the long shot the chain seems to go around the front axle of Enos's car without touching the bumper.
Then when the cars pull apart the chain is back on the bumpers, pulling the back off of Rosco's car and the front off of Enos's. That's how they appear for most of the rest of the episode, except for a couple of scenes when someone forgot. The lower left picture is when Rosco and Enos are following Jesse and Daisy (who's dressed as Loretta), while the lower right shows the cars when they hit the back of Jesse's truck. Both show that the two cars are complete, even though they were shown with their panels missing between these two shots.
When Rosco and Enos descend the tree from where they've been spying on the Duke Farm, Rosco gets his belt caught on the way down (see inset). As Enos tries to help, Rosco swings about two feet to the left on a suspending cable (arrowed) - it's easier to see when moving.
Finally there are continuity errors at the beginning and end of the concluding chase. As Bo and Luke leave the stockyards they are on a light dusty surface, but the close-up of the General's wheel spinning shows grass and leaves on the ground. Then at the end Luke gets Bubba to pull off to the side of a two-lane road, which changes to a dirt track in a grassy area when Bubba makes a run for it.

I have good news and bad news for you. First the bad news: I can't find any reference to 'You've Got a Friend' being commercially available on DVD, VHS or download. The good news is that if you know anyone with the Hallmark Movie Channel it's being shown a few times this month:
Tonight (05/07) at 10pm ET;
Tomorrow (05/08) at 4am ET;
Friday 05/18 at 6pm ET;
Saturday 05/19 at 4am ET.
There may be other showings that I missed. You can check for yourself on www.hallmarkmoviechannel.com - click on "schedule" just under the logo and look for it day by day. For some reason if you do a search it only gives the 4am showings (and shows them a day early).

Ya know, I think Tom and John should put together thier own Broadway musical based on The Dukes of Hazzard.
Who knows, if Dukes had been made a few years later we may have had a musical episode like they did with 'Buffy' and 'Scrubs'.
I was originally going to go down the road of rewriting a well-known song from a musical, but Duke-ifying it eg. starting with the song 'Trouble' from 'The Music Man':
Trouble with a capital "T"
And that rhymes with "B" and that stands for Boss!
Then I thought it would be fun to try and match existing songs from musicals to Dukes characters. Here's some suggestions to get you started - maybe together we can make 'Dukes: The Musical'
:Uncle Jesse (while plowing the back 40)
If I Were a Rich Man (Fiddler on the Roof)
Boss
Food, Glorious Food (Oliver)
Enos (about Daisy)
Hopelessly Devoted to You (Grease)
Bo and Luke
Anything You Can Do (Annie Get Your Gun)
Daisy (to Bo and Luke)
Goin' Courtin' (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers)
Emery Potter
Get Me to the Church on Time (My Fair Lady)
I was a bit stuck for Cooter (I'm sure someone can think of something better), so I went with
Can We Fix It? (Bob the Builder)
Not strictly a musical, granted, but he was using the phrase "Yes we can" years before Mr Obama!

But my parents do good at giving me my space online.
Unlike the old timers who had MySpace online.

I finally remembered to watch the interview that Brian posted (thanks for the link, Brian). Just over halfway through Tom mentions that he does 'Trouble' from 'The Music Man' as a duet with John. For those of you that don't know, the movie version of 'The Music Man' was filmed in Hazzard Square, aka. Warner Bros' Midwest Street. Here's a screengrab from just before
starts; on the left is the River City Bank (Boss's Bank), Jim Griffith's is where the barbers shop was, Ewart Dunlop (Staple and Fancy Groceries) takes the place of the Hazzard Theatre and finally the pool hall that causes all the 'Trouble' would become the pharmacy. The County Building, church and other familiar stores are also visible during the song.

This track concludes their 1986 album 'Different Light'.
-
Hard to believe that this song is 12 years old.
Bohemian Like You - The Dandy Warhols
I played this song a lot when I first got the album.

And yes, poor Hoss was about banging his head against the wall over tryin' to figure your name.
To be fair, I spend most days banging my head against the wall anyway - you just gave me a better reason

So many "Morning" songs to choose from, I think I'll go with this:
My favorite is Sunday morning of course...Lucky me - it's already Sunday morning here (albeit 1am
). -
I just hope it wasn't the General's license plate that you goofed, cause that would be just... too embarrassing for words.
No, I think I would've asked Mufn to delete my account if I'd done that
.It was Mason Dixon's Trans-Am and Amy's Mustang, "Lucifer". I misread screengrabs, and only discoved my mistake when I went back for better ones to give as clues.
-
I believe BL is right.
It sure looks like an 8 from that angle.I agree Roger. If it weren't for the other picture I probably wouldn't have noticed. I made a similar mistake when I asked a question about license plates, which was embarrassing because it was one of the first that I posted

I'm probably guessing nearly as much as you, although I've heard the dialect spoken more. I agree with most of your translation, but I think the fourth line is more likely to be "With few left at home". Apparently "Geate a'vallen to" means gate a-falling or the gate closing. It was the last poem Barnes wrote before he died, and the gate is meant to be a metaphor for death (thanks Google
).If you want to read the whole poem you can see it here.
