It's great to hear she's doing well. Married life must be busy, because she hasn't been to HNet since 2013 - any chance you could persuade her to drop by?

I'm just watching 'To Catch a Duke'. When Boss fires Rosco: Rosco: "Listen, I want to take this to a higher court." Boss: "Then get yourself a ladder."

Welcome to HNet, Harlow1-11. Holly Roberts played Bonnie in 'The Return of the Mean Green Machine' in season 5. She was Vance's love interest (Coy had Ellie Mae) at the opening picnic where they find the Mean Green Machine's tracks, and we later found out that she worked at Boss' WHOGG radio station. It's the first of only four acting roles listed on IMDb, with the last being the 1984 movie 'Snowballing'. Looking for another Dukes connection, I found that 'Snowballing' also featured Bob Hastings, who appeared in three Dukes episodes as different characters.

Here it is a little larger. I found this at https://twitter.com/emojipedia/status/1257035179488612354.

The article I read just says that six titles will no longer be published. TBH. I've never heard of any of them. The article also says that some libraries in the UK have moved certain Tintin books to the adult section, so they're not banned or removed - just no longer available to children. Compared to some recent changes/bans, this doesn't seem too over the top to me. I wonder what the specific rule is. F1 stopped Lewis Hamilton wearing overtly political messages at races, but BLM T-shirts are fine.

It appears to be called Zombie House Flipping. There's an article about it here.

Roger reviewed all the cartoon episodes and we had a discussion about them at the end of last year - you can read about them in the Saturday Morning Dukes Cartoon thread.

Did your chiropractor say "I'm glad to see your back!"

Imagination The song below was released on February 19th, 1982 - the same day that US viewers were getting their first chance to see 'New Deputy in Town' towards the end of season 4 of Dukes. It was a hit across Europe, but not so popular in the US.

You make it sound so easy. This would be an impressive build if it was all shiny, but the weathering and dirt take it to another level. I can't believe that you even used different guitar strings for the aerials - that's attention to detail!

Here you go, Roger: https://cootersplace.com/hazzard-run-2021/ It's the Hazzard Run 2021, October 1st-3rd at Luray, Virginia.

You never know, with no one else prepared to air episodes, they may get it cheap!

The two shows that are not available are for very different reasons. One was hosted by an actor who has since been convicted and jailed for certain material he downloaded, while the other is because of music rights issues. Apparently, one of the "offensive" issues we need to be warned about is Johnny Cash singing in front of a Confederate flag. The version of the story I read was on the BBC News site.

Thanks, Andrew. I had fun doing them, but haven't had the time to add much to those threads lately. However, with your model of Cooter's truck, just like with Mark's model of Cooter's Garage, it's a whole new experience seeing these creations come to life in 3D. It's a completely different skill set which I'd love to have at least a little of. As your model progresses, it'll be interesting to see how close to each other we were with our visions of the truck.

Click on your username - it's to the right of the banner on a computer or you'll have to click the three horizontal lines next to the banner on a phone. Then click "Account Settings" and you should see "Signature" at the bottom of the list. The signature box is pretty much the same as the one you use for posting on the forum. You can include pictures, but I'd keep it simple as it will appear every time you post.

Great start, Andrew. I went through some of the same processes when I drew my Fan Art version of Cooter's GMC truck nearly 10 years ago. I probably even used some of the same words when my computer wouldn't let me reopen the file as you did when you found you had to lengthen the chassis.

Less than five minutes into 'Carnival of Thrillls' and the announcer of the big jump says "Some of you lady folks out there are too scared to watch. Better hide your eyes on your boyfriend's shoulder till it's all over." They may have a point with the disclaimer!

After more than 10 years on HNet, I decided to change my signature last week - it's another Waylon quote. Just curious if any of y'all noticed?

By May, Texas might have restored their power grid and Ted Cruz will probably be back from Mexico, so they'll be able to join the celebrations.

I'm not far behind you, Hobie. It's Saturday morning and 'Southern Comfurts' followed by 'Carnival of Thrills' are on TV in half an hour. I not only have tomorrow off, but also Monday and Tuesday this week (annual leave that had to be taken). I'm not a big drinker, but where you have your European beer, I'm currently half way into a bottle of American whiskey (I know Ireland has many good whiskeys, but I thought I'd try something different), so I may have a sip of that tonight. That only leaves the food element. I had a tasty Chinese takeout last night, but haven't decided what I'll be having later. It's a miserable rainy day here, so maybe something warming and comforting!

F1 has also stopped all tobacco sponsorship (Ferrari still appear to be getting money from Philip Morris for its Mission Winnow initiative), but they seem to have found new revenue streams from other industries. Having said that, there are quite a few of the newer sponsors that I've never heard of.

No, Boss was born on April 6th, 1926 (as per Abraham Lincoln Hogg's driver's license) and Sorrell was born on January 4th, 1930.
