Also another pain in the butt for me here is photos. Over there I can upload directly from device's gallery to the area I want the photo to go to without having to use a storage host site to share it from first.

I'm reclaiming the old British favourite 'Gordon Bennett' too. Look it up and spread the word 

There's been a Gordon Bennett race here in Ireland since 1903 - see here. There's a memorial to the race by the R418 a few miles north-east of Athy in Co. Kildare. I drove past it two weeks ago, but I've never stopped to look at it. You can read more here.

Probably heard the best thing I've ever heard on TV. 

Ep My Son, Bo Hogg (s3e15)

Rosco gets chased down by Luke and Daisy after he's plundered the farm for Bo's belongings. Upon stopping and gathering himself, Rosco utters

"Great gobs of goose goo". 

Beautiful. It's up there with 'Great googly moogly' for making tea come down my nose. I'll be adding that to my arsenal of oldy timey sayings. I'm reclaiming the old British favourite 'Gordon Bennett' too. Look it up and spread the word 

Only a true fan would post something like this! We are so lucky you have joined our family.

Les Sloane:"Not yet. But he's flyin' in, an' wants us to pick him up at the airport."

Mitch Henderson:"I'm not picking anybody up at an airport just so he could fire me. Let him take a taxi."

Wendell:"What happened?"

Daisy Duke:"You poor man! That's a terrible case of Poison Ivy!"

Tom Colt:"You see? An' it didn't work in jail either. Some hillbillies spotted me."

Wendell:"Where's your car?"

Tom Colt:"I had to make a getaway in this thing! Hey, isn't that the girl from the bar?"

Irving:"She belongs to me! Look, dummy! Are we supposed to sneak out of here in an orange stock car with a big number one on the side, an' a Confederate flag on the roof!?"

Tom Colt:"Look, little man! It'll be a whole lot easier than tryin' to hide her!"

Wendell:"Imbiciles! It was a very simple plan. These 2 idiots couldn't follow instructions on a cereal box!"

Daisy Duke:"Y'all don't git along very well, do you?"

Wendell:"No young lady, we don't!"

Tom Colt:"I wanna see the money!"

Daisy Duke:"I think you should see about gettin' some Calamine Lotion on that Poison Ivy."

Wendell:"Git her inside! Because of your stupidity, we're gonna have to dump that RV truck, an' escape in that clown car!"

Boss Hogg:"I'm talkin' prison! 2 years fer breakin' probation!"

Bo Duke:"You gotta tell me one thing! How'd you fake the plague?"

Tom Colt:(Laughing.)"That was simple! I'm allergic to Poison Ivy right?"

Bo Duke:"Yeah!"

Tom Colt:"So when I get in jail, I just peel back the tape and expose the Poison Ivy. Then I get the rash, the swelling, I even get a fever. Then, I fake all the other symptoms of the plague, like delirium, crampin', all that sort of stuff you know? An' then, man, it looks good, really good! Just like the plague! It was beautiful, really beautiful! Anyway, do you realize that there ain't no doctor ever seen a case of the plague in this part of the country?"(Tom Colt who was sitting down, got up to go stand behind Bo and Luke while explaining about faking the plague.

Skipper, you need to ease off with the quotes again. This is not Facebook, it's an interactive forum, and there's very little chance for interaction when you make seven lengthy posts one after the other in a 15 minute period.

I've said it before, but I obviously need to repeat it: quotes should be just that - quotes - whether they're memorable or funny. Some of these are entire scenes that don't strike me as either. If you're going to post quotes, stick to simple ones like the one with Rosco and his crossword.

Your accuracy has gone up a bit, but you're still missing words here and there, and mishearing words, e.g. in 'Repo Men' Boss says "namely me, can be cursed, sassed, and crossed" , not "Namely me can be cut sassed an' crossed!". In your last quote (the one from 'Coy Meets Girl'), you omitted nearly 40 seconds of dialogue between Boss and Rosco in the middle of the scene without mentioning it.

If you want guidelines for quotes, look at the ones posted on IMDb. Not many are more than a few lines long. Also, stick to short names preceding the dialogue: "Boss" or "Boss Hogg" is fine, you don't need "Boss Jefferson Davis Hogg". Maybe you're copying them from different sources. If it's a guest character, use their full name on their first line, and then shorten it.
