If no one's answered them, feel free to respond. It's easy to imagine that all questions about Dukes must've been asked and answered by now, but new members like yourself always prove that wrong .

People still remember Dukes over here. This was question on a TV quiz just a couple of days ago. The answers in this round are an overlap of the picture clue and the word clue. Answer below: For anyone who's interested, you can watch the whole episode below. Each week, four celebrities play various games across five days, competing to win a selection of quirky prizes.

It looks like John got away with only five hours in jail due to Daisy distracting the guards and Luke helping him escape overcrowding. I've been trying to find out what's happening with Tom's legal troubles. Various allegations and charges were made last August/September, but not much has been written on the subject since then. Incidentally, Tom's appearing at Cooter's in Nashville this weekend - see here for more details.

If, like me, you've missed this story, you can read it here. I went with the Fox News site for my link because that's who he spoke to, although they didn't bother to get his age right!

Thanks for revisiting the subject, Roger. For anyone who missed it first time around, we discussed the movie when it came out in 2013. You can see that discussion here. The movie was written by Janeen and Michael Damian - that's James Best's daughter and son-in-law. Again for those who may not know, Janeen played Mary Lou in "A Baby for the Dukes".

Dukes (I always like to watch Dukes )

Welcome to HNet, Yiz (and Liz). How are you finding season 5? I'm sure you're aware of some of the background to the cast change (there's plenty of info on this forum).

It was Reginald D Hunter who I saw tonight. I was going to post a video of his stand-up, but most of it contains a fair amount of swearing, so I decided to go for an interview instead (there's a little of his stand-up in the middle).

It's the June bank holiday weekend here in Ireland, which is always the time for the annual comedy festival. I've just got back from my second show of the day, and my friend got dragged up on stage while the comedian got the audience to shout his name. It was his own fault for shouting something out. We were in the second row, and I knew to stay quiet! Tomorrow is as close as I'll get to Dukes - one of the acts I'm seeing is from Georgia .

Welcome to HNet. I've got the David Hofstede book and a couple of those car cases.

Danica was driving an Indy car in the Indy 500 yesterday. Although Indy and Formula 1 cars are both open-wheeled, that's about as far as the silmilarities go. It was IndyCar where Danica originally made her name, before she switched to NASCAR. I don't follow IndyCar, but the commentators mentioned that the cars had lower downforce than previously at this year's race, and most of the crashes were cars spinning while following in the "dirty" air of other cars.

I got to see most of the Indy 500. Who would've thought that both races would have Aussie winners? Congratulations to Daniel Ricciardo and Will Power.

I'm watching the Monaco Grand Prix now. I may try and catch the Indy 500 later.

Here you go, Roger. More details can be found here.

As the page loaded and jumped up and down a bit, I got to read Roger's comment (above) after MM's latest post, and thought he was referring MM's mother-in-law coming over! Have mother-in-law jokes ever been a thing in the US? In the UK, Les Dawson used to be known for them in the '70s/'80s:

I recently discovered that they've made two seasons of a French version of Wheeler Dealers with Gerry and Aurélien (instead of Mike and Edd/Ant). By the end I was starting to recognize more and more of the car parts in French, despite last studying the language over 30 years ago and forgetting most of the little I knew since then.

I guess you have a while to wait before Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange gets married (she's only 14) .

Thanks for posting the video, Roth. It's good to see Tom enjoying himself in Europe again. I think he likes meeting Dukes fans - the owners of General Lee replicas I met at last year's American car show had both met him. He's certainly quite happy to talk about the show, and is very generous with his time.

So it retained its roof moldings like General Lee? Didn't Charger 500s have flush rear windows? Maybe that's part of the story.

You probably wouldn't have liked the buffet anyway, Roger - I didn't hear any mention of squirrel on the menu! The British channels have had three or four days of people trying to guess every aspect of the wedding, which means hours of "experts" talking about nothing. It's only a few weeks since the last royal baby, and the TV coverage was nearly as bad for that. This time they managed to find quite a few Americans to interview, and some of them are almost as mas as the British fans. About ten years ago, British comedy duo Armstrong and Miller did some parody royal correspondent sketches as part of their show. Watching them back, they're not that far from the real thing!

Sadly, I didn't get invited. I guess I didn't spend long enough with the groom's father last year . With an American bride, are you getting a lot of coverage in the US? I know some of y'all will have to get up very early to watch the ceremony live.

Even more so if Roger's the first one to post it! I haven't bothered to read up on the subject, but they were discussing it on the radio earlier. Apparently, the "Laurel" sound is at a lower frequency and the "Yanni" is at a higher frequency. Older people tend to hear "Laurel", although if you listen to the clip for a long time, some people who originally heard "Laurel" start to hear "Yanni".

I could only hear Laurel. I'm obviously not as Hardy as I thought I was!

A lot of these drivers were well before I took an interest in NASCAR, and I don't tend to watch/read much outside the actual races, so I'm quite pleased with 30/47. Two of them I got because of Dukes, and I'll credit another three to Garrett . Some of the questions were lazy - I counted three where two of the wrong answers were the same as each other, another had Danica Patrick as a possible answer for a picture of a male driver, and my favorite where the driver's name was on his car in the background!
