Hi folks! For all y'all that don't make yer way to the front page of HNet (and why not?!?!), just wanted to let ya know that the Confederate General Lee Fan Club is hosting the following shindig/fundraiser for Special Olympics in Little Rock Arkansas: Here's the scoop from Scott Romine... We are having our second annual "Dukes Day" fundraiser for Special Olympics on May 6th and 7th in Little Rock, Arkansas. This year we have Ben "Cooter" Jones and Sonny "Enos" Shroyer booked along with stuntmen Al Wyatt Jr. and Corey Eubanks who jumped the General Lee. Friday night features a catered banquet with speeches by the stars complete with silent auction. Saturday features a host of Dukes of Hazzard fun - as we unveil "The Special Olympics General Lee" driven by the stuntdrivers on the show. For a donation to this wonderful cause - YOU will be able to ride along with the stuntmen on a "hot pursuit" complete with mini-jump! A Dukes event you will not want to miss out on!!!! Saturday includes a "Daisy Duke Contest" For more info check out website at www.confederategeneralleefanclub.com or email me at scott@rominevideo.com
Welcome to HNet, Scott! Dukes Day sounds like a super event! (Lessee, if I lose a few more pounds, I might be able to pull off a Daisy Duke look-a-like thang). ROFL.
Ding ding ding! We have a winnah! LOL Uhh....prize? *looks around* How 'bout this ticket on the Chattanooga Choo Choo? =) To bring this back around to MASH, here's a neat lil' roundabout trivia thing for ya. The song "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" was featured in the 1942 movie "Orchestra Wives" with the Glenn Miller band. There also was a very young actor in it who plays the soda jerk who ends up losing the girl. Although he wasn't credited in the film, there's no mistaking who it is. Col. Potter himself, Harry Morgan. We now return you to yer regularly scheduled program. LOL
There's a Scott Romine who heads up the Confederate General Lee club and is a retired cop. He's also a member of this board. Man, I can see this getting really confusing. ROFL. By the way, can somebody tell me where the heck that line is from??? "Badges?? We don't need no steeenkin' badges!" LOL MaryAnne ------------ I'm not a cop but I play one in fanfic. KHEE!!!
My dad watches this show so much that I'm familar with it without really ever having really sat down to watch it. LOL. I can remember seeing one scene where Radar was testing the radio or something and he says "Testing, testing. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I got a gal...." Trivia Question! What song is he singing?
I can vouch for Scott and his insider status as we've swapped a few emails all ready. We're looking forward to the release of the movie and subsequent release of several of the photos on the set that Scott took. Yeeehaaa!
Oh sure. ROFL. Sometimes you can't even cram it into a minute. Even when ya double clutch it. LOL Well now that my reply looks retarded there, lemme try to redeem mahself. I don't know where the hell the Enos series is available on video or DVD. LOL. I don't remember the show either, but it only lasted one season I think. Maybe they'll make the Enos series a DVD extra for the 5th season of the Dukes, heh heh!
You can find the Dukes on DVD (Season 1 and 2). Also, Columbia House has Dukes on video, although the videos are not necessarily released in the same running order as when the episodes appeared, but there's approximately 30 some odd tapes available.
Back in '84 or '85, I was allowed to climb through the windows of my parents car ('76 Buick....Skylark I think) once. The seats were that fry-your-posterior-on-a-hot-day vinyl (black) and they had started to rip by this point. My folks didn't want me ripping 'em anymore than they already were. ROFL. Last I knew that car was left at the side of a highway in northern Vermont. For all we know, it's still there. ROFL!
BAHAHAHA! That was a good one. One of my favorite Boss and Rosco exchanges over the CB... Boss: Rosco, if you're not at the PLACE in ten minutes I'm gonna have to buy me a new door--- Rosco: After you kick my butt.. Boss: After I kick your butt-- Rosco: Through the one in your bank. Boss: Through the one in my bank!!
Now who would ever believe that we would wing frying pans at each other? ROFL. Eddie, thank ya for the compliments. And Brian said it better than I could have. We've been doing this for a long time, we've had fun and angst but we've remained like family (just like in Hazzard! Can I think of a better example? I think not. LOL) We enjoy doing it, we love that everyone else likes it here and we'll keep doing it for as long as we can. 8) MaryAnne
