Why not name it "Dixie" like Daisy's Jeep? It's already white, so maybe it's a sign. If you do the Dixie Jeep paint job on it, you'll have another fine vehicle in your Hazzard County bike fleet. Completely appropriate as a ladies bike, too. I don't think you could have planned it better.

Oh man, I'm stumped too. This is gonna drive me nuts 'till somebody figures it out. I barely remember the scene but can't picture the storyline that went with it.

Just got word that Sonny Shroyer, "Deputy Enos Strate" will be a special guest in the annual Covington Christmas parade this Saturday, Dec 3rd. He'll be joined by a General Lee replica and a Hazzard County patrol car replica. The parade steps off at 10:30 a.m. on Newton Drive, goes down Anderson Street to the town square, then down to Monticello street, then....aw heck, get to Covington, Georgia, and the rest is easy. Sonny will be appearing in his deputy duds for the parade. Afterwards, he'll be at the Covington-Newton County Visitor's Center from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., to sign autographs, take pictures, and charm all the ladies.

Latest from Tom is that the tickets for this concert will go on sale in January. Even he doesn't know the exact date yet - it's up to the casino. Soon as somebody knows something, we'll pass it along!

Howdy there. This is the easy way to put it: The first 5 episodes of the show were filmed using real places and buildings in Georgia. The Duke farm was a real farmstead; the junkyard was real; the town square was Covington, GA, ect. The courthouse building in "High Octane" was the Newton County Courthouse in Covington. After the 5th episode, everything else was filmed in California, using Warner Bros studio sets and backlots. Hoss C, one of our most esteemed members, has put together extensive research on the California filming locations. You can find some of that by clicking this link. Hoss has also researched some of the chase scene locations in California. Let us know if there's something specific you are looking for and we'll do our best to help.

Turns out, 13 is a lucky number. This surviving stunt-car General Lee is going to be auctioned on 12/15/11. We have a full write-up on our home page, but it's worth mentioning here too. Have a look: Yes, there is still damage on the car, though it has been partially restored. For all the details and to get in on the bidding, visit the auction website. Who's buying this General? I'm about $39,000 short.....give r' take.

That brought back memories. I was briefly a drummer in a punk band. My job was to drown out our lead singer, because he was awful. We played some Joy Division in those days...my ears are still ringing. Anyhow! Lemme mellow it out here just a tad, with the Foo Fighters: Wheels - Foo Fighters

I caught this episode on Netflix awhile back. While Family Guy isn't my usual brand of humor, their Dukes references/parody cracked me up. I couldn't get the above link to work. If anybody else is having trouble and wants a brief sample of the episode, I found this clip on YouTube:

But if ya did that, the rest of us would be left in the dark on these matters. The car "Traveler" in the movie "Moonrunners" was a stock car owned by the Hagg cousins. It was a 1955 Chevy. It was kept to the racetrack and wasn't used in any of their highway antics. There's a rough copy of Moonrunners on YouTube, for any of ya'll curious. You can find part one here: Moonrunners Part 1

Happy Birthday Hoss! Hope you have a great one. May your birthday wishes come true!

Yeah, that's the truth. Heh! She's right though. Yesterday is a memory; tomorrow is a promise. We have the here and now, and it's up to us to make the most of it. Which means embarrassing each other with some mush now and then.

I'm thankful for all the great people in my life, especially my best friends and family who are one and the same. I kid around about not having any friends, but in truth I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by them. And while I've had a lot of changes this past year, the stuff that's really important is awright, and for that I'm grateful. Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!

That would be "The Canadian Caper."

Yeah, it's good to see him standing upright again! Glad to see the updated photo. Nice hat, by the way.

As we take that pause for reflection between grocery shopping and Christmas shopping that we call Thanksgiving...I thought it'd be a good idea to share what we're thankful for. Share as much, or as little, as you'd like. Who wants to go first?

I'm hoping I can make it. Though instead of renting a hotel room, I might rent an RV and see how many friends I can pack into it. Hmm. I'll need to make more friends...

Thanks Phyllis!

Our best wishes for Byron's recovery!

Here's some lore for anybody interested in stories about the original Boar's Nest in Georgia. Back in the late 90's it was vacant; right before that it had been a sort of clubhouse, but I can't recall the organization. Anyhow, it was vacant when the first organized Dukes fan shindig got together. (This pre-dated DukesFest.) The place was in rough shape. The interior was really dark - the ceiling was painted black. But there were tables, chairs, and a bar, and a few working interior lights. After giving the place a quick spruce-up the party was on. No big rowdy stuff, just mostly yapping over beer, soda, chips. Sonny, Jerry Rushing, and Don Pedro (Sheriff Little) joined us. People who had General Lees and replica patrol cars were horsing around with them up and down the highway, and tearing around the parking lot. Mostly, everybody sat around and took in the atmosphere. Here we were. A group of us were from all over the country, sitting at the Boar's Nest in Georgia. It was a unique feeling. And yet a little sad, as this was like Cinderella's ball - for one night, the Boar's Nest was packed, full of voices, noise, laughter. But only for one night. It was a common fantasy at the time to buy this original Boar's Nest and restore it to glory. After the shindig, a few of us seriously looked into it. The owners at the time wanted some $80,000 for the place - and it was a mess. There were outstanding code violations on the building. There were zoning restrictions that prohibited you from doing almost anything in the way of running a business at that location. Which is likely why it was a clubhouse before, for once-a-week meetings, and became a church thereafter, also for once-a-week meetings. But the fantasy endures. Who knows, someday it may once again become the Boar's Nest.

Place blame where it's due. I found the link and posted it. Emy-Rae was just sharing her reaction and shock that she'd found this thing in a store. She is without guilt here. I was making a joke out of it, and while what I posted is accurate to what Emy had discovered, the link I posted is not actual porn. It's definately a "commercial" for parody porn. This clip is in public view on YouTube without restriction. I reckon everybody here has seen or heard worse at some point in their lives. HazzardNet spends the large majority of it's existence in a clean environment and that's the way we'll keep it. By no means am I endorsing porn. I was just having one of those adult-humor moments that I indulge in once in a blue moon. ( Personally I found Hoss's reply in this thread hilarious, and that's what I was going for.) My apologies to anyone who was offended. If there's ever content on this site that you find offensive or inappropriate, you can report it directly to MeadowMufn in a PM. Thank you,

Thinking is your job. I just fetch stuff to yammer on about. B'sides, Dukes ain't the first popular show to be nailed with a porn parody. I once saw was a Batman and Catwoman flick where -- Well, ya gotta be careful surfin' the web. You can find all kinds of stuff. If there's any justification for me posting the link of the Dukes porn parody, it's that I found one that was more or less safe for the masses. Thereby satisfying the curiosity stirred by the topic, which may prevent a more sensitive viewer from stumbling on to something worse in their own search. The real question here is...who's General Lee is in that piece o' trash?

The movie trailer for "Return of the Killer Shrews" , starring James Best, John Schneider, and Rick Hurst, and some non-Dukes related people is now viewable: No, it ain't Masterpiece Theater, but it neither was the original. Remember that the original had special defects...er, effects, that were so awful, that the movie became a cult classic. To explain the original Killer Shrews movie, I turned to this clip of Chicago's own B-movie horror expert, Svengoolie. He'll sum up the original Killer Shrews for ya right .

You didn't click on that link, didja? You shouldn't have. What were you thinkin'? It didn't phase me much...the porn parody isn't too far removed from the opening scenes of the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie with Johnny Knoxville. At least with porn, you know what to expect.

Awright, I'm gonna redeem myself and answer this one. The birthday in question belonged to Cooter. Daisy was originally going to take the vase and flowers to the Boar's Nest to brighten the place up, but upon hearing it was Cooter's birthday, gifted Ye Olde Mechanic with the vase and flowers instead.

Of course, I had a responsibility to investigate and report this with more detail. (...I love this job.....KHEEHAAA!) Ahem. YES IT'S TRUE! Dukes of Hazzard parody PORN!! View the link below at your own risk. Nothing really exposed here, other than bad language and taste.
