  1. Well I'd rather have a good time than a bad time ;).

    How right you are Garrett. I've already had 'Good Times' by Edie Brickell, so here's another song with the same name, this time it's a disco/funk classic :-P.

    Just saw a commercial last week, can't think what it was for, but they had this song on and they were doing the line dancing as well.

    Is this the one you mean?:

    GE Ecomagination Line Dance Commercial

  2. This has nothing to do with the Patsy Cline song of the same name :). It's hard to believe that this song is 20 years old - how time flies. If you want a recommendation, one of the recent YouTube comments was "i am a beer drinking redneck and this song is baaaad a:censored:".

  3. That's the one beef I have with the Dukes of Hazzard, as an Impala owner, is they kept beatin' those cars up. Can't say too much tho', considering how many 1969 Dodge Chargers bit the dust.

    I remember that Plymouth Fury/Belvedere owners had a similar complaint when 'Christine' was made. I think the movie highlighted the model, and as a result there are probably more around today than would otherwise be the case.

    A few years ago I saw a demo derby in Virginia that broke my heart.

    I get a monthly UK magazine called Classic American, and the guy who goes around US junk yards photographing possible restoration projects made the same point this month. It also reminded me of a TV interview I saw with a guy who owned several late '50s Cadillac. He fell on hard times and had to sell them, only to discover later that the buyer had chopped them up to make booths for a themed restaurant :(.

  4. Looks like the Charger even has the same rims as the General.

    Nicholas Cage's Texan co-star, Amber Heard, was the guest on Top Gear (UK) this week. She said she did most of her own stunts, and when ask if she got to drive the Charger she replied "I drove the :censored: out of that car" (BBC censorship, not mine). In real life, she bucks the Hollywood trend of owning a Toyota Prius and drives a '68 Mustang around LA.

    The 11 minute clip is here:

    Be warned: it contains Top Gear's usual risqué humor ;).

  5. Don't worry Roger, the farm's still safe for now :). You and waikiki were right about Grady Byrd being night watchman at the gravel pit.

    You seem to have overtaken me with your viewing. I keep skipping through episodes looking for something or other, but never seem to sit down and watch a complete one. Something will be done about this.

    Q. In 'Duke of Duke' who did the Dukes try to borrow money from to pay Gaylord's back taxes?. (Hint: this plan failed when they found out he had died.)

  6. Well Tim, you sound like you have a link in mind. I can do Gene Simmons to Dukes easily enough:

    Gene Simmons has voiced a character in SpongeBob SquarePants

    Mary Jo Catlett has voiced a character in SpongeBob SquarePants

    Mary Jo Catlett was Cousin Alice in Swamp Molly

  7. Apologies for not giving a complete answer to the last question, even though no-one attempted the bonus part. The other companies that Boss registered Dixie Auto Supply through were:

    Blue Ridge Catfish Co. which belongs to National Pinballs Ltd. which is owned by Instant Grits, Inc. which, in turn, is owned by The J.D. Hogg Investment Corp.

    Roger, sadly you got the lottery question wrong as well. The correct answer was 5, 17, 18, 22, 34, 37. Unfortunately I got it wrong too, which is a shame because it was worth just over €4 million this week :).
