That's a real possibility Roger. Of course 'Crazy' was another big hit for Patsy Cline.
-
This one's from 'Enos in Trouble' - don't think we've had it before.
When we first see the bad guys watching Enos's footlocker Waylon says:
"There's two faces that only a mother could love, and I bet neither one of them had one."
-
I was watching 'Farewell Hazzard' the other night and wondered which wig y'all think suits Boss the best?. I'm sure, like Rosco, we all liked Boss's 'little chrome dome, when it was smooth like a baby's bottom' the best, so I haven't given that as an option. The last option wasn't in 'Farewell Hazzard', but I couldn't leave it out:).
NB. There were 2 curly wigs and 2 black wigs - I left one of each out to keep the number of options reasonable. Against my better judgement I have spelt 'Gray' the US way (we spell it Grey) as I'm sure there are more members in the US.

Hey folks, the wife and I just picked up a Rosco Car from a fellow Dukes fan. Its a 1976 Fury Police Package California car. Check out the photos in my album when they get approved.
Looks like they're approved - I've been waiting to see them since I saw your post. Looks like a pretty clean car - is it solid underneath?.
Are you going for a Hazzard patrol car?. The reason I ask is that the '76 Fury was favored by some of the neighboring police e.g. Chickasaw, Hatchapee, Atlanta, Capitol City and State Police. Most of the Hazzard cars were '77 or '78 Furys and Monacos.
Did you get the lightbar with it, or did you source it separately?. What's the law like where you are regarding lightbars on replica vehicles?. I'm sure that even though everyone knows you're not trying to impersonate real police, they would still have a problem with it here. I remember when I lived in London they used to test drive repaired police cars past where I worked. These out-of-service cars had their lightbars covered and an 'X' of 1/2" insulating tape over the word 'Police' on the doors. They looked pretty funny - we used to joke that they were undercover police cars.
Is that your General in your gallery? - looks great. I'm sure it'll be hard to resist having a good ol' chase when the patrol car gets its decals on.
-
Caught this show completely by chance today on UK satellite channel Discovery Turbo. I was initially put off when the intro described the General as being driven by the Duke brothers (sic). After that it got better and Kenny Wayne Shepherd (the project car's owner) seemed to be a genuine Dukes fan.
The final car had custom suspension, custom interior, custom rims and a custom air-brushed paint job. If it were my money I'd keep the mechanicals and interior, but have an authentic General Lee paint job and rims.
For those who haven't seen it, here's a couple of pictures:
-
The first time I was reminded of the black General Lee was when I went to Cooter's Place in Gatlinburg, TN (Dukes Museum) and I saw a 1:18 scale American Muscle model of it. I saw a gold General model, too, with the racing digits, the flag, everything on it. Anyone know the significance of that?
ERTL/American Muscle have made many variations of the 1:18 General Lee over the years - I'll try to cover most of them - I'm sure there are a few missing:
2000 32485 - Orange General with black interior (I think this had Florida plates).
2000 32485k - Black General Lee chase car - no graphics (1000 made).
2001 32485b - Correct beige interior (I think plates were corrected).
2001 32878 - Orange General Lee with matching 1:64 car (5000 made).
2001 31435 - Body Shop General Lee (kit).
2002 33041 - Race Day General Lee with unfinished graphics and primered hood/fenders.
2003 33397 - Barris Edition General Lee with certificate (3000 made).
2003 33397ch - Barris Edition 18ct gold plated General Lee (100 made).
2005 32485d - General Lee dirty (TV box).
2005 2485db - Supercars dirty black General Lee with graphics (252 made).
2005 32485gp - Supercars 22ct gold plated General Lee (8 made).
2005 39181 - Orange General Lee (movie box).
2005 39181ch - Chrome General Lee chase (movie box, 1000 made).
2005 39181ch2 - Polished (silver) General Lee, Evergreen Toys exclusive (movie box, 600 made).
2008 39505 - Authentics (high detail) General Lee (5000 made).
2008 29666 - Supercars Authentics black General Lee with graphics (Authentics box, 1002 made).
2008 29666k - Supercars Authentics black General Lee without graphics (Dukes box, 150 made).
As well as General Lees they have also made:
2001 33043 - Ford Mustang #00 with flames and matching 1:64 car.
2007 39406 - 1974 Dodge Monaco Police car.
Supercars auctioned 2 of the 22ct gold plated cars on eBay last year - they went for about $1500 each.
They have a 22ct gold plated dirty General Lee (#32485apg - again only 8 made) being auctioned this August (see link below).

Well done Jami Lee.

Could you just tell what make and year they were just by looking at them?
I'm afraid not. I do like my cars, and know enough to bore non-car types quickly enough, like when the turn signals moved on the XK-E (or E-Type as we call it). The Cougar has to be first generation (and '67-'69 due to the grille). The '59 DeVille is also an iconic car. I'd remembered the cars I liked, but for the details I had to check with the following sites:
The Internet Movie Cars Database
http://www.imcdb.org/movie_78607-The-Dukes-of-Hazzard.html
For some movies they even list interesting background cars.
Tilley's Dukes of Hazzard Website
http://www.angelfire.com/80s/dukesofhazzard/vehicles.html
It doesn't appear to have been updated since 2007, but it's still a great resource for cars, characters, and other stuff.
These days it's not so much 'what you know', or even 'who you know', but more often 'what websites you know'

Everyone can play this game, right? This is my first go.
-
Different Choctaw. Choctaw Ridge is in Mississippi. Being such a local event, I doubt the news about Billy Joe got to Hazzard. LOL. Though, I suspect Rosco might have some knowledge of the event. *ahem*
I suppose Mississippi is quite a long way from France, especially if news had to go via the 'local' airfield in California. Thanks for putting me straight.
Maybe we should call Dukes by it's French name now we know the truth: Shérif, fais-moi peur! (translated literally this means something like 'Sheriff, frighten me', however if you use Google's French to English translator it now tells you 'Shérif, fais-moi peur!' means' Dukes of Hazzard' - there's progress in action).
You folks are smarter than Columbo, better looking than Charlie's Angels, more clever than Sherlock Holmes and more fun to be around than Shaggy and Scooby-Do. If I ever need a detective I'm heading to the HazzardNet.I'm sure you're right about MaryAnne and MeadowMufn, but these days I'd settle for more fun to be around than Colombo, and better looking than Scooby Doo:).
Dang it - I've gone and left my 3 foot high sandwich in the pocket of my dirty old raincoat again.
-
Google translate gives 'choc' as French for 'shock', so 'choc ta' is 'shock your'.
With Choctaw County, and I assume Choctaw Ridge so close, I'm surprised no-one on the show ever mentioned Billy Joe MacAllister jumping off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

I didn't plan to follow this up so soon. I was watching season 2 episodes to try to get a clear screen grab of the COLD BEER sign outside the Boars Nest to complete my Boars Nest sign: http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7044&page=5 (scroll down to see it).
Then I saw Cooter had a map for the Jesse vs Boss race in 'Days of Shine and Roses'. I couldn't get a clear grab, but watched it through about 3 times.
I could make out the name I've marked '1' ended with 'ville'. That didn't narrow it down much since there's loads a places in the US with this ending as I found recently when posting the old map of the the L & N:
http://www.hazzardnet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3368&highlight=michelle+shocked&page=2 (2nd post on this page).
The place I've marked '2' says 'Fort de Vaux' which was a fort near Verdun in France which was attacked by the Germans in 1916. You can read about it here: http://pierreswesternfront.punt.nl/?id=414014&r=1&tbl_archief=&
That meant the name marked '3' must be Damloup (it's unclear due to being in the fold of the map). Finally that leaves us with the real location of Hazzard: Dieppe-sous-Douaumont, near Verdun, France. Considering it's location I guess the correct exclamation is 'voila'!
-
Great detective work there MaryAnne. Who would have thought that the nearest small landing strip to Hazzard was just across the bay from San Francisco. No wonder Daisy went to a different airfield when she was learning to fly the crop duster.
-
The occasion that stands out to me is in the episode "Officer Daisy Duke", the bandits use a map of Hazzard to locate the airfield. I've seen it used in many other episodes as well by almost every character.
You can tell the creators had to come up with a map of some sort to iron out any of the inconsistancies the show might have when it comes to directions.
I came across this map when double checking my clues for the soon-to-be published 3rd trivia crossword (dang it, that'll give away one of the answers:)).
You can't read anything in the long shot, but close up all but the main name are reversed. Is this a real map that anyone recognises?. It looks like the new text was added after the original was 'distressed' with correction fluid and tears.
-
I'll leave aside the main featured cars because they've all been mentioned. Here's some of the others I liked (in no particular order):
Cletus's Mercury Cougar (there's a similar one often parked in the square, Cooter also had one as a loaner)
Gaylord Duke's XK-E
Grady Byrd's Mama's '59 DeVille
Swamp Molly's '46 pickup
Doc Petticord's 1950 Olds
Jason Dillard's '68 Shelby Cobra
Mason Dixon's Girls' Pontiac Trans-Am convertible

As an Formula 1 fan I had always assumed (in my younger days) that oval racing must be really dull with no chicanes or twisty-turny bits. Then one of our non-subscription channels picked up some NASCAR races and started showing them at 2 or 3 in the morning (it wasn't the time difference - they were shown a day or 2 late). It's a very different type of racing, and watching the lead change several times a lap certainly means I was wrong about it being dull:).
I'm not sure whether they've stopped showing it, or my insomnia cleared up. For your sake I hope they stopped showing it, otherwise there's going to be a whole bunch of dumb questions heading your way.
-
Found this great map of the L & N (Louisville & Nashville) Railroad dating from 1886. Hazard is marked just under the 2nd 'K' in Kentucky.
-
I write like Douglas Adams. That doesn't surprise me because I don't go anywhere without my towel!
Don't know why, but I wasn't expecting to find another DNA fan here. Such a shame 'The Salmon of Doubt' didn't get finished - we miss you Douglas.
I tried entering one of my posts from HNet into iwl and apparently I write like Cory Doctorow. Don't want to offend anyone, but I'd never heard of him. I looked him up on Wikipedia and might check him out.
-
Every time I listen to the Jean Ritchie song 'The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore' (I have versions by Johnny Cash and Michelle Shocked) I think of the Dukes because of this verse:
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler
Where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
But now they stand in a rusty row of all empties
Because the L & N don't stop here anymore
It was written many years before DoH, and I assume refers the Hazard, Kentucky as she grew up in a house in the Cumberland Mountains. That doesn't stop me imagining the Dukes growing up with coal cars rumbling by when I hear it.
-
I'm a serious Dukes fan but since I joke around so much I don't think anyone would put the word "serious" in the same sentence with my name....so does that mean I'm classified as "irregular status"?
I checked out 'serious' on thesaurus.com:
Main Entry: serious
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: crucial, weighty
Synonyms: arduous, dangerous, deep, difficult, far-reaching, fateful, fell, formidable, grave, grievous, grim, hard, heavy, important, laborious, major, meaning business, meaningful, menacing, momentous, no joke, no laughing matter, of consequence, operose, out for blood, playing hard ball, pressing, severe, significant, smoking, sobering, strenuous, strictly business, threatening, tough, ugly, unamusing, unhumorous, urgent, worrying
I think formidable, major or maybe even severe Dukes fan sound more like you Roger:).
-
Here's four of the ones already mentioned - I'm sure there's more out there.
Maybe this thread needs moving to the Sorrell/Boss forum - what do you think admin?
-
I'd love to see those pictures.
Here you go Roger - just click the link below:
Trivia Crossword
in Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
Posted
I was doing my regular daily online crossword today and I got the clue 'Noblemen (5)' - of course, the answer had to be 'Dukes'.
