Ah, another March-and very tired. Been a bit busy being everything to everybody, and not doing spectularly at it, I think.
I think I'm going to hang out the 'Gone Fishin'' sign on the blog for a bit, and step away from this idiot box computer. I may go study the 2010 Cubs roster. That'll make me feel better!
No it won't. They'll be under .500 this year, I think.
Maybe a trip to the tropics! Yeah. A trip to the nation of Margaritaville. Please remain standing for the national anthem:
Or maybe a Cool Change:
Oh yes. The film/TV cars. I suspect that if all of you put your heads together, you probably had all of the right answers. If you don't watch a lot of American stuff, this might be a bit tough.
1) 1974 Dodge Monaco 440-The ex-Mount Prospect Police Department ride of Jake and Elwood Blues in The Blues Brothers.
2) 1981 DeLorean-Back To The Future, of course.
3) 1958 Plymouth Fury-The angry Christine.
4) 1970 Plymouth Valiant-The chased car in Spielberg's first major film, Duel.
5) 1977 Pontiac Trans Am-East Bound and Down, Smokey and the Bandit.
6) 1966 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron-The Green Hornet's car, from the '60s TV show.
7) 1982 Pontiac Trans Am-KITT, from Knight Rider.
8) 1976 Ford Torino 460-V8-Starsky and Hutch.
9) 1969 Ford Granada-The modified Granada was Commander Straker's vehicle in U.F.O..
10) 1969 Dodge Charger-The Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee. YEEEE-HAAAA!!!

15) 1979 Kenworth K-100 Cabover-from the late 70s trucker series BJ and the Bear. I believe in this politically correct era, we'd have to rename it Oral Sex and the Bear.
16) 1974 Kenworth W-925-From another trucking show, Movin' On. Not a bad program if I remember correctly.
17) 1974 Ford Falcon XB-The last of the Interceptors of the Main Force Patrol in the Mad Max series.
18) 1974 AMC Hornet 'X'-The car James Bond did a corkscrew jump with in The Man With The Golden Gun.
