    I don't think even Waylon would get away with some of his lines in these more politically correct times. There was a line in an episode I watched the other day about women drivers, and in 'Welcome, Waylon Jennings' when Betty Jo plants the homing device on the General he says: 'You know, she's awful slick for a woman ... wonder if she can type?.'

    Ah ... Paddy's Day, the day when most of America suddenly remember a distant Irish ancestor so they can go out drinking . To answer your question, it's a bank holiday here. Schools and most businesses are shut. Lots of drinking goes on, especially the black stuff. Being English I tried, unsuccessfully, to pursuade my employers to give me St. George's Day off. Alas, it's not even a holiday in England, and a lot of the English don't even know what day it is (23rd April) .

    And there was I just about to ask if it would make the game hard if I pretend my favorite color (favourite colour!) is topaz?

    I think the name should be acceptable here if it was ok in the show - there was a WWII plane made by Grumman (the F6F) that shared its name. It succeeded the F4F Wildcat. I not going to mark you wrong for your 'slight alteration' . It seems strange that they picked an 80s Chevy Malibu for Boss's car when most of the other races in Dukes had plenty of Mustangs, Camaros etc. that would have existed in this episode's mid 70s setting. I've been a bit mean with the last couple of questions, so it's mutiple choice this time. Q. In 'How to Succeed in Hazzard' what was the name of the champagne that Dewey Hogg was tricked with: A) Chateau Neuf de Waldron 1970 Chateau Neuf de Turenne 1970 C) Chateau Neuf de Rose 1970 D) Chateau Neuf de Picard 1970 E) Chateau Neuf d'Amateau 1970

    Thanks for sticking my name on the home page. I've sent MaryAnne another 2 crosswords to put up. I'm giving them a rest for a bit now while I do the 'Official Trivial Thread' and the anagrams thread - have you tried the episode title anagrams?

  7. HossC
    It was a very prominent vehicle in one of the episodes you mention.
  8. HossC
    Surely the boys don't need a class from the principal to teach them how to skip .

    Now you're getting the hang of it MaryAnne. Thanks to BoJames for checking replies in my absence. BoJames has sent me the answers already - I'll let y'all keep guessing for a while before I post them.

    I should have listened all the way through - you're quite right of course, the line is there in the talky bit. Well remembered Roger.

    I had to Google it - they only zip code I know is 90210 . Then again, my knowledge of UK postcodes is probably better than yours. Ireland doesn't have either, which seems to confuse some online vendors.

    I'd never heard of that song, so I Googled it. The song you mentioned is 'When You're Ugly Like Us' which was a 1980 hit for George Jones and Hazzard celebrity speedtrap's own Johnny Paycheck. I can't find any mention of freight trains or dirt roads in the lyrics. There is a 1994 song called 'She Could Make a Freight Train Take a Dirt Road' sung by Davis Daniel. When You're Ugly Like Us lyrics. on YouTube.

    Something a bit different this time. This is the address label that Bo and Luke discover on the stolen auto parts in 'Cooter's Confession': The label only appears to contain destination information and places Hazzard in Georgia, but if that's a zip code (00965) it would be Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.

    This is a Ben Jones quote rather than Cooter. In the season 6 DVD extra 'Back Where We Started: The Real Hazzard County' Ben and Sonny are reminiscing about the first time they saw Cathy. Ben says 'I tell you ... first time ... I said that girl'd make a bulldog break its chain, make a freight train go up a dirt road, make the deacon drop his bible.' It was great seeing how they still got on so well after 27 years.

    Just heard this one in 'Cooter's Confession'. Boss wants Rosco to tail the Dukes, and asks 'You think you can do that?'. Rosco replies: 'Surveillance, oh I can handle surveillance. Listen, I was really good in surveillance when I was in the police academy. That was my best subject ... next to recess'.

    Well done Roger - I thought Jesse's Mustang might be a bit tricky - you're obviously more of a car guy than you let on. BoJames, you were right about Daisy's Jeep and the same plate was also used on her Road Runner before that. So the answers are: A) FCH 630 = Daisy's Jeep named Dixie or her Road Runner 83522 = Patrol car primarily driven by Rosco C) CL 7634 = Uncle Jesse's pickup D) CK 8229 = Amy's Mustang named Lucifer E) SNP 650 = Jesse's Mustang named Black Tillie II? F) ZAB 749 = Cale Yarborough's White Charger G) C8P 397 = Mason Dixon's Firebird Did anyone notice the gaffer tape covering the Trans-Am decals on the Firebird? I'll stick with cars this time: Q. Besides Lucifer, can you name another car that had #13 on the doors - it was in season 7.

    General Lee vs. Jazz

    Did you ever watch the 'making of' feature from the DVD extras on Tron?. They had to calculate the 3D positions plus pitch, yaw and roll by hand, then manually enter them so the computer could render them frame by frame. I found a clip of it on YouTube: Ahh ... 1982.
  19. HossC
    Wow - is this a case of great minds thinking alike? - probably not . I think your instructions are pretty much the same as the first link I posted.

    I have to agree, there's not a lot out there for Mac or PC. The only PC one I found was 10 years old. The best I can suggest is to make your own slideshow: http://www.ehow.com/how_5794442_make-show-screensaver-macbook-pro.html You just need to find some pictures to use. If you want to do screengrabs from your DVDs there's some tips here: http://www.macyourself.com/2009/05/16/how-to-take-screenshots-in-mac-os-xs-dvd-player-application/ I even had to use a picture from the 2005 movie for my custom Firefox persona. I just wanted a simple picture of the General without much in the background - see what you think: At least there's no reference to Sean William Scott, Johnny Knoxville or Jessica Simpson.
  21. HossC
    This is slightly embarrassing - it appears I can't read my own writing. There are 2 small typos in this question: D) CK 8228 should be CK 8229 G) CBP 397 should be C8P 397 To make up for them I've made some picture clues: Hope everyone gets them now.

    General Lee vs Gran Torino

    HossC replied to HossC's topic in TV

    Here's another British view of American cars from Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson. This one is from his mid 90s series Motorworld: I wish the commenters on YouTube had a sense of humor - while America was making these cars the British car industry produced some absolute rubbish in the brief periods when they weren't on strike .
  23. HossC
    Thanks for the PM with the answers - right as usual. Now we'll see if anyone else tries. I was hoping the inclusion of 'Hogg' in the penultimate one might throw you.
  24. HossC
    You're just too good at these BoJames. This time I checked you weren't looking over my shoulder while I was posting . If you're doing these in your head or on paper I think you should apply to go on Countdown (for members in the US and elsewhere, Countdown is a TV quiz involving words and math). Here's the new ones: Naked Guacamole Daddy's Swishing Tongue Dad Terrifies Hunter, Roger My Tough Seahorse Grafters A Diaper Rots Broaden A Mindset Navy Decals Poshest Counterfeiter Wins Not Hogg's Ethereal Feel Probate Control BoJames - If you get these as quickly, maybe you could just post to let me know you got them all right. That way other people get a chance to have a go. One day I hope to catch you out again like I did with Buster Moon. If they're not solved in 24 hours post away with the answers - it'll save me a job .
  25. HossC
    I deliberately made the last 4 harder because y'all were getting them too easily. All of the last ones only appeared in one episode each, but they were memorable/featured cars - 2 of them even had names. I'll give some clues if you're still struggling.
