Today I'm going to focus on the buildings behind Boss's house. Way back in post #53 I showed a picture of the back of Cooter's from 'Trouble at Cooter's' and wasn't sure where it was filmed: CDoherty thought it was filmed at Paramount Ranch. I thought that was quite likely as the building was seen out of context, and various other isolated buildings were used in filming. He also pointed out that the buildings also appeared in other episodes including 'Mason Dixon's Girls' and 'The Great Santa Clause Chase'. I hope the following posts shed some light on their true location, and put this loose end to bed (sorry for the mixed metaphors). The following pictures are from 'Mason Dixon's Girls', and show some more of the surrounding buildings. Firstly, Bo and Luke drive up disguised in some of the bad guys' clothes: The second shot shows the car relative to the building used as the back of Cooter's (I'll call it the 'Farm Implements' building due to the sign over the door). The vehicle in the shadows on the left appears to be the uncredited third appearance of Swamp Molly's pickup truck (I've lightened the image and compared the rust against grabs I have of the truck - they match up!). The last shot from 'Mason Dixon's Girls' shows an alley near the front of the black car. I'll explain my reasoning below, but I can only assume that the building on the right and the roof over Bo get torn down before the building on the left.

Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter from Camp) - Allan Sherman Fun novelty song from 1963.

Letter From America - The Proclaimers 1987 track from Scottish twins Charlie and Craig Reid.

Looks like that's you, me and Brian that like New Order . This is the 9:50 extended version.

Kids In America - Kim Wilde

I think I've got a 50:50 chance here because, although I haven't seen this episode for a while, I'm sure it's D) or E). I'm going the plump for E) 3 wheel ATVs.

job I won't tell you what you can do with it .

This wasn't as easy one to grab as Rosco blocks part of it most of the time. As with the re-elect Rosco posters I've used a photo that's similar, but not quite the same as the one that appeared in the episode because I couldn't find the correct one anywhere. The thin border was added because the photo was lighter at the bottom and blending into the background. I love the quote at the bottom . From 'Southern Comfurts' is the sign for Billy Jo Bob's Used Cars. The 'Billy Jo Bob's' text was painted quite nicely, but the 'Used Cars' was very rough. I've tried to give it a weather-beaten look.

A strange ghost story from the '80s about how a PFC was saved by "a big marine named Camouflage" "in the jungle wars of '65".

I'm glad someone changed the featured artist because I'd run out of one word songs by Reg Dwight . A nice happy, poppy tune from 1994 album 'Jollification'. NB. The Lightning Seeds are a British band, so 'Marvellous' is spelt the correct way with two 'l's .

I'm not sure if we've had a classical track in this thread before (and I'm not going back to check). It takes a while to build, but it's well worth the wait. I first discovered this tune when it was used as the backing music for the 1983 computer game Manic Miner. We used to stop into the computer shop on the way home from school and play it for ages. You can see a version with better graphics . It may not have the realism of Call of Duty: Black Ops, but you do get chased by penguins and toilets .The original game ran on a computer with 48k of RAM and had to be loaded from a cassette!. If your current computer has 2Gb of RAM, that's nearly 44,000 times as much memory. It looked like this:

This version has a long, quiet intro, so stick with it. The video reminds me of James Duke's recently posted space pics.

I'd like to assure MaryAnne that this song is not about a certain NASCAR driver .

What a nice guy this Jeremy Mayfield sounds. I'd never heard of him, so I did a quick search. When he was trying to clear his name with NASCAR in 2010 his own (estranged) step-mother sent in an affidavit saying they'd taken meth together on the way to a race at Darlington in 1998. She also alleged that Jeremy supplied meth to his late father. The stolen goods found during the search that Garrett mentions allegedly include property belonging to Red Bull Racing and the state of North Carolina. It's not been a good year for Jeremy - earlier this year one of his dogs attacked a postal worker and the courts are currently deciding how much he owes her. I've never heard of anyone failing a drugs test in F1 - in fact I didn't even know if they tested until I looked it up. Generally the F1 drivers are very fit as every pound (or even ounce) counts - Jenson Button, for example, does triathlons between races. I'm sure I remember reading that the NASCAR driver that MaryAnne won't let me name had to slim down before his F1 car swap earlier this year .

I think you need to find your local sign-maker - I'm sure there's one not far from you. If you're just going for lettering then, cut vinyl graphics would work. If you want the sheriff's badge then you'll probably have to find someone who prints onto vinyl due to the amount of detail vs. size. The shiny gold vinyl used on Dukes doesn't last quite as well as plain colors outdoors, but should be ok for your purposes. Once you've decided what you want, and at what size, I can email some artwork suitable for the sign-maker to work from. I spent 10 years in the sign business, but that was a while ago now - I don't think anything particularly revolutionary has happened since. Good luck with the project - I look forward to seeing the pictures .

Sorry for the delay in adding to this list, but I've been concentrating on other threads. The rest of season 2 didn't yield anything worth mentioning (unless I missed something). You wait ages for a different patrol car, and then two come along in the same episode - in this case 'Baa, Baa White Sheep'. The first is the red and white Finchburg patrol car. The other appears at the end of the episode. It's a more standard black and white State Police car. Both are 1977/78 Dodge Monacos. No light bar on this one. It's the 1972 AMC Matador driven by the US Marshall in 'Along Came a Duke'. Rosco's 'camo' patrol car in 'The Great Hazzard Hijack' is another 1977/78 Monaco. Only in Hazzard would they camouflage a car and then add a lightbar and shiny gold decals. I haven't forgotten the appearance of Sheriff Little's patrol car in 'My Son, Bo Hogg'. Because it appears in many episodes I'm waiting for a clearer picture.

Welcome to HNet Sean. Give me a shout if you need a hand with the pictures. You basically have 3 choices: 1) You can post them as attachments (which non-members can't see). 2) You can upload them to photobucket, flickr or similar and include them in a post. 3) You can add them to 'Gallery' section here.

Here's the bank sign after Boss got to the paint: And for Brian, some more background signs from The Boar's Nest: This one normally appears over the main door. Finally a sign that uses a standard typeface - in this case Helvetica. There's a few more I'd like to do, but I'm just waiting to get a good screengrab of them. If anyone has a request, just let me know, although I make no promises!.

It's gonna have to be another track from Paul and Arthur:

It's strange - 20 years ago pumpkins weren't seen as part of Halloween over here. It was just about ghosts and other spooky things. Nowadays the stores have huge piles of pumpkins in the weeks before and we seem to have adopted most of the other US traditions associated with it. It doesn't mean we accept these changes without a fight, as this short sketch from UK sitcom 'Not Going Out' shows: We still don't take it the extremes seen in the US. Here's a Halloween light show from last year that I came across recently: Happy Halloween y'all .

He's still singing about a girl here :

Touché Capt. - thought I'd checked Pretty confident we haven't had this before: The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) - Simon & Garfunkel

"But what can a poor boy do, except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band?": Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones I beat her to it just over a week ago .
