Congratulations, Roger, I missed that landmark. I managed to pass the post count of the recently mentioned DaisyMaeDuke last week, but I'm still nearly 1,000 behind BoJamesDuke and l don't even have half of your score!

Thanks for the reminder, Roger. I'd forgotten that it was Sadie Hogg Day today. Here's an early bit of my Fan Art.

I'd like to see that. I know the parameters are completely different, but F1 cars run in the rain, and they're often among the best races!

I can recommend Classic Shell if she doesn't like the Windows 10 start menu.

To wander briefly off-topic, while I was watching a bit of last night's race there was a commercial for Dr. Pepper Cream Soda. This is the first time I've heard of it, and unless any of the expensive specialist shops here stock it, I doubt that I'll get to try it. I just wanted to know if it was any good as I like Dr. Pepper and cream soda separately. Maybe I'll just mix my own!

Thanks, Spike. I haven't watched any NASCAR races for ages, but had to tune in for a few laps last night. A dirt race is certainly different. I just got to see the end of stage 1 before bed. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. obviously made a good comeback - he was slipping into the mid-teens when I was watching.

I don't think I've visited either of those sites. www.hazzardonline.com still appears to be available, but there's no trace of www.dukefarm.com. I know of a few other Dukes sites that are still running, but I can also name some that have disappeared over the past decade. HazzardNet may well be the only remaining Dukes forum after cglfc.com shut down about five years ago. I never joined cglfc.com, but I did read posts there from time to time. At the end of the day, it costs money to keep places like HazzardNet alive. We should be thankful that our Supreme Superior Commander is such a dedicated Dukes fan!

I'd have to agree with you, Hobie. After Waylon, none of balladeers in the movies that followed left any lasting impression on me. The only one I really remember at all is Mac Davis in the 'Hazzard in Hollywood' movie because he appeared on screen a few times. Lots of the things Waylon said are worth quoting, but I can't immediately think of a single quote from any of the others.

Potato (one of the other words pronounced differently in 'Let's Call The Whole Thing Off')

rattlesnake (there was a rattlesnake chili contest in the 'Reunion!' TV movie)

That scene is actually from 'No More Mr. Nice Guy'.

Go raibh maith agat, agus mar an gcéanna leat.

It's from 'Goodbye, General Lee' in season 4. After Rosco tells Boss that he took care of the General, the conversation is: Rosco: Listen, Boss, I want a raise now. I want more than 50% of my 50%. Come back. Boss: I'll give you a raise. I'll give you a 50% raise. I'll give you 50% of 50% of 50%. How about that? Rosco: Well, that's better. I got him just where he wants me.

Welcome to HazzardNet. We hope you enjoy your stay.

I've got a day off tomorrow - shame we can't go anywhere or do anything!

Skipper, any chance that you could include the episode your quotes are from? I know that the mention of Moody in the one above gives it away as 'Double Dukes', but a little context or scene-setting will give them a lot more meaning.

I also tried various combinations of letters in the search, but I got nothing. All the members whose usernames start "jb" are currently on page 93 of the alphabetical list, but there's no JBagwell_01. Even a Google search didn't give any results with that name.

I just clicked on "Forums" in the main navigation bar and then "Members". I typed the random search term "roger" in the "Search Term" box and clicked "Search Again". The results were: rogergrubbs, grogers1970, robrogers1984, chrisrogers731, Chris_Rogers and someone called RogerDuke!

Apparently, it goes back to an old law whereby the ruling monarch's spouse is known as consort. Then we get into gender politics, because a man who marries a queen is known as prince consort, but a lady who marries a king becomes queen consort, which generally gets shortened to queen. Let me know what you're trying/trying to do, and I'll see if I can help.

I'm sure it's posted elsewhere on HNet, but for anyone who hasn't seen it, here's the Family Feud episode featuring a Dukes team including Christopher Hensel. The Dukes part starts just over 18 minutes in:

He was so much a part of the sport when I started watching it. I read his autobiography about 20 years ago, and I bought it in hardback. The BBC are putting on a tribute show on Tuesday night, so I'll being staying up to watch that. In the meantime, there's a shorter tribute on the F1 site - I hope you take the time to watch it: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.watch-the-voice-of-f1-a-tribute-to-murray-walker.3T4SIVeX26z0vrreUS2X6w.html

As I said in my first post in this thread, back in 2011 he only had three acting credits listed on IMDb. Maybe he figured that Jeb Stuart was the character he was best known for playing when he set up his company. Either that or he's a big fan of General James Ewell Brown Stuart.

While it's great to have Dukes on TV, it looks like Forces TV still only have the rights to the first three seasons. I've just checked next week's listings, and when season 3 finishes, they're starting over with 'One Armed Bandits'.

I'm hijacking this thread briefly with the sad news that legendary F1 commentator Murray Walker has died at the age of 97. For many, not just in the UK, he was the voice of F1 with a career spanning well over 50 years. Not bad considering that his first career was in advertising. Even in more recent years he'd still make appearances at the British Grand Prix. Here's a short tribute from BBC News: And here's a clip from when he was on Letterman circa 2002 (the Letterman part starts at about 38 seconds in):

There's a coincidence - 'Along Came a Duke' was in the middle of the Dukes triple bill that I watched this morning.
