  1. Boss was Rosco's "Little FAT Buddy".

    American F1 driver Logan Sargeant has been dropped by the Williams team and will be replaced by academy driver Franco Colapinto for the remaining nine races of the season. Sargeant joined the team in 2023, but only scored a single point from 36 race starts. A heavy crash in the final practice session for last week's Dutch Grand Prix meant that he couldn't take part in qualifying, and seems to have been the final straw for the team. We'll get a chance to see how Argentine Colapinto does this weekend in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

    It reminded me of the police car that got flipped and spun in the chase through the mall in the Blues Brothers. I wonder if Josh Berry broke his watch?
  4. I don't do social media or keep up with celebrity gossip, but I'm surprised that no one has mentioned John Schneider getting re-married last month. As most of you know, John lost his third wife, Alicia Allain, to breast cancer in February 2023. He has now married Dee Dee Sorvino, the widow of 'Goodfellas' actor Paul Sorvino. You can read the LA Times article about their marriage here. I've just looked up Dee Dee's bio on IMDb - her birth name was Denessa Purvis Benkie, so maybe she's related to Rosco! Here's a short interview I found:

    Or as they actually said: Boss: "Get me out of here." Luke: "You all right in there, Boss?" Bo: "Rosco?" Rosco: "I'll let you know when everything stops spinning."

    Formula 1 was back this weekend after its summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix. Since it returned to the calendar in 2021, Red Bull's Max Verstappen has dominated his home race with pole and the win each year, but McLaren's upgrades seem to be working better than Red Bull's at the moment, and Max had to line up behind Lando Norris on the grid. Lando's team mate, Oscar Piastri started in third with George Russell the first of the Mercedes cars in fourth. Ferrari were sixth and tenth, but Lewis Hamilton failed to make the final qualifying session and also got a grid penalty for impeding another driver, so started 13th. Alex Albon had a great qualifying for Williams to initially put his car in eighth, but had to start from the back after the floor of his car was found to be illegal. Lando continued his unfortunate record of poor starts from pole and was overtaken by Max into turn 1. Max stayed ahead until Lando retook the lead on lap 18. Lando then held the lead over Max until the checkered flag to take his second win and the point for fastest lap. He ended up with a winning margin of 23 seconds - the sort of lead that Max used to get. The Ferraris seemed to have had better race pace than they showed in qualifying, finishing in third and fifth and separated by McLaren's Oscar Piastri. George Russell slipped back to finish in seventh with Lewis Hamilton catching up to eighth. McLaren are now catching Red Bull in the Constructors' Championship, but they may be regretting swapping their drivers in the last race as Lando could've been closer to Max in the Drivers' Championship. You can see the race highlights here.
  7. I'm glad y'all are trying this again, but I think I'm going to rule myself out due to the time difference and my early schedule.
  8. I think these are all the episodes with Daisy's name in the title. It was one per season except season 6 where she got three! S1E02 'Daisy's Song' S2E17 'Officer Daisy Duke' S3E17 'By-Line, Daisy Duke' S4E01 'Mrs. Daisy Hogg' S5E22 'Daisy's Shotgun Wedding' S6E08 'Targets: Daisy and Lulu' S6E13 'Heiress Daisy Duke' S6E19 'Close Call for Daisy' S7E16 'Enos and Daisy's Wedding' If you want to see Daisy in a French maid's outfit, that's in 'Gold Fever' (S2E02).
  9. I certainly don't already know the answer. It might be the weekend before I get a chance to look into it properly, but don't let me stop y'all researching it too!
  10. This is getting ridiculous, Skipper. Not content with starting your own thread so that you can keep posting inaccurate quotes on HNet which you've been asked many times to restrict to Facebook, you're now putting them in other threads. Here's what was actually said: Boss: "Of all the cotton-picking, corn-shucking, pig-slopping..." Rosco: "Bad news?" Boss: "No, it was a singing candygram. Of course, it was bad news, you dodo!"
  11. Yes, but we didn't get to visit them. There's the ruins of a Norman castle which I've read dates from 1170. It's on a private estate and I don't think it's publicly accessible. It's quite close to the river. The other is more recent with a build date of 1895, although it incorporates elements going back to medieval times. It's on a private island, but has been a hotel since the 1980s and is attached to a neighboring golf course.
  12. Today I got to go on a river cruise with a group that I'm part of. It was nearly two hours each way with a stop-over for a hotel meal in the middle. We were hoping for a brighter day, but a bit of mist and rain on the outward journey didn't dampen our spirits, and the return trip was dry with much better visibility.
  13. I'm taking "Enos" for "E" as we already have "Duke" for "D". FOWLER'S FEED Warehouse Ben Jones says that this was the building behind the first General Lee jump.
  14. CARTER Stewart There was a Becky Mae in 'The Ghost of General Lee'.
  15. Great stuff, Andrew. It's really starting to come together now.
  16. "YOU YANKEE drivers!" Rosco when his windshield is covered by flying newspapers in 'Baa, Baa White Sheep'.
