October 14, 201312 yr Every time I see one of those commercials from those on-line dating services I think of Rosco's Mama's line from "Mrs Rosco P. Coltrane". I may not have it exactly right but it went something like "You got a girl out of a computer?" LOL If I ran one of those companies I'd pay Warner Brothers to use that clip in a commercial. The Dukes were way ahead of their time. Boss ran a solar powered still. Jesse invented ethanol. Rosco got a girl from a computer. I feel sorry for the city folks who think hicks aren't that smart.
October 14, 201312 yr Amen Brother! I'm a Southern hick and I know we're smart enough to run our area of the country in a way that makes everybody else want to come here! I'm from Tennessee ( Home of the Beaudrys!!) and I call Tennessee the Bermuda Triangle.........everybody comes in and nobody leaves!!
October 14, 201312 yr When I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was that it was spam. LOL. Then I saw that Roger had started it. Yep, the Dukes were a bit ahead of their time in some respects.
October 14, 201312 yr I don't think Rosco's mother meant it in a good way. Here is the scene you mean:
October 17, 201312 yr Author Amen Brother! I'm a Southern hick and I know we're smart enough to run our area of the country in a way that makes everybody else want to come here! I'm from Tennessee ( Home of the Beaudrys!!) and I call Tennessee the Bermuda Triangle.........everybody comes in and nobody leaves!!I might not be southern but I'm southern at heart. My favorite singers are Charlie Daniels (from Mount Juliet Tenn) and Loretta Lynn....along with anybody else who sounds southern. My favorite song is "Country Boy Can Survive" and my favorite show is and always will be Dukes. My favorite current show is Duck Dynasty and I love that Confederate Flag and I live on a dirt road in the woods. I've lived in northwest Pennsylvania my whole life and I'll never leave because all my family's here but if I ever got kicked out I'd move to northern Georgia near the Tennessee line!
October 17, 201312 yr Well, let me know if you ever want to visit...I'll show you some Southern sights, Southern hospitality etc. and as far as being a southerner at heart.... That's what REALLY counts!! Let me tell you something, the most " Yankeefied " places I know of, are the most southern ( geographically speaking) places in the U.S.A....Florida AND Atlanta! It's just like Uncle Jesse said, " That place ain't been right since Sherman burned it !"....remember that one? ( Daisy's Song)
October 18, 201312 yr Author I sure do remember that line. I'm sure you'll agree with me that I would have given anything to have seen all 7 seasons filmed in Georgia instead of a measly 5 episodes. The scenery in those episodes look just like my neck of rural Pennsylvania.
