Lol! Congratulations!

I liked some parts of school, like art, shop class, lunch, and recess.

Wow. Glad I wasn't the only one. It wasn't for everyone, that's for sure!

That was me, pretty much daily, no matter what the weather was. I've always been the high energy, can't sit still for long, type of person. Being "locked up" in school 8 hours a day was torture. I know exactly what those poor animals in the zoo feel like.

Currently, there are no Chevrolet's in NASCAR, and there haven't been for a very long time.

Wow, not bad HossC, not bad.

Of course. That's been a sales trick forever. But it depends on the product. If a seller is a dealer selling inventory of currently manufactured product, they might use that tactic. But if a seller is selling antiques, old collectables, thrift store items, etc, then 'last one" probably means last one. For example, I had two identical Rickard Petty floor mats in my collection for many years. They were still brand new, I decided to sell them. I listed them as a single item but I had two available. Once the first one sold, eBay marked "last one" on the listing because I only had one left. When I'm shopping on eBay, I ignore the "last one" tag, I don't let that persuade me to purchase anything.

I appreciate that HossC! So glad she didn't set off the smoke detector or something. She was always cooking & baking. Please don't get the wrong idea, she was an awesome cook. She never triggered the smoke detector, but if she was ever going to, it would be while I was recording. You know how it goes.

Thanks RogerDuke, I enjoy being here. I do still have that cassette! I'm anxious to dig that out, both of my parents have passed and they may have been captured talking in the backgroind. I desperately want to hear their voices again. First I need to find a tape deck that I can trust to not eat that tape.

Oh yes! I hated homework. I hated school just as much!

I finally had a chance to do some exploring on this site and came across this thread. I started reading page 1, then had to skip to the last page to leave a comment. I will go back and read the rest later. This is definitely my all time favorite movie! And I have to share this memory with you guys: Back when I was around 9 years old, this had to be about 1980 or '81, somewhere in there. I remember it was my birthday, and my mom told me that the TV Guide showed that Smokey and the Bandit was going to be on at 7pm that night. Man, I was so excited, I couldn't wait until it came on! Now for all you young sheep out there, if you wanted to watch a favorite TV show or movie back then, you had to be up to date on your TV schedule and be in front of your TV at the right time if you wanted to see it. There was no renting it, streaming it, or buying it, back then. And you would hope the weather was good so it would come in clear! How many of you seasoned gents remember the frustration of a snowy picture?? Then around lunch time, my dad came home and he brought me a birthday gift. I got to open it right away, and found myself the proud owner of a brand new Panasonic cassette recorder and a 3 pack of blamk 90 minute tapes! Woohoo! I played with that thing all day, secretly recording peoples conversations, then playing them back for them. We had a lot of fun that day. Today, you'd probably go to jail for that. Then, after all visitors were gone and the house was quiet, I kept watching the clock, every minute seemed like 10. Smokey and the Bandit is coming on at 7 and it's been on my mind all day, and it's taking for ever for it to get here. I was tinkering with my new tape recorder, watching the time, then suddenly I had a monumental idea. I can record Smokey and the Bandit!!!!! I put fresh batteries in the recorder, installed a 90 minute tabe and made sure it was rewound to the begining, and had a 2nd tape ready for a back up just in case. When the clock hit 7:00 (finally!) I was ready! I was laying on the floor in front of our console TV, with my new tape recorder strategically positioned in front of one of the speakers, my finger hovering over the record button, and my heart racing in anticipation, waiting for the clock to strike 7. I had already managed to do a couple of quick trial runs with some commercials, and they worked perfectly, but I was still worried that something could go wrong. I had one shot to get this right. There will not be a "do-over" opportunity. This is it. Who knows if it well ever be on TV again, or when. Even at such a young age, I had enough sense to plan all this ahead, in a short amount of time, in the final minutes before show time. Including calculating the movie length vs the tape length, hoping I could fit a 2 hour movie on a 90 minute tape if I cut all the commercials. 7:00 came, I hit record, cut the commercials, and successfully captured Smokey and the Bandit on cassette tape! Long before anyone ever dreamed of having a VCR in their homes. Long before you could ever know if you would ever see your favorite movie again. I had it! It was mine to enjoy whenever I wanted to! All those great songs, all that genius dialogue, all the engines roaring and tire squealing, all the crashes! Man, that was a great day! For many nights I would take that recorder to bed with me and fall asleep to Smokey chasing the Bandit and Snowman across theis great country. My best friend would sleep over a lot and we would listen to that movie while we played with my slot car tracks. I had two TCR slotless tracks with semi's and cars, and I had tthree slot car tracks, one with 1978 Trans Ams (one black, one chrome). Man, those were some good times! Thank you HazzardNet community, for jogging some great memories!

Yep! Looks like you have some homework to do. After that, tell me how many episodes show an action shot of the front wheel of the general from a side mounted camera? Then after that, how many episodes show Bo & Luke blowing something up with high flying dynamite? Then after that, what episode shows the boys drop dynamite from the General while flying over their target? No cheating now. Only one question answered per all 7 seasons! Wink. Wink.

That would be a fun challenge!

Oh my gosh! That joggs my memory, but I barely remember that. I have not seen or heard of that since it aired. Wow.

Sunny has his own series? I'm not up on modern shows, I don't like most of them so I don't go looking. Yes, uncle Jesse is a great character. Denver was an amazing guardian over the actors. He and James trained them well and taught them some good lessons about life. That's gold right there.
