The smoking man,

Em, yes, it would have been the cigarette smoking man who was mayor of Smallville. It was funky.

Honestly, I thought TW was trying to pass a difficult bowel movement.

Me too. I also felt (I think because of his facial expressions) that he looked a lot like a black-haired Carey Elwes in the 1961 scenes. This also may have been affected by the fact that I'd just watched The Pentagon Wars (a fantastic Made for HBO movie about the development of the Bradley fighting vehicle, starring Elwes, Kelsey Grammer, and Richard Schiff (Toby from West Wing)).

I was thrown for a loop because I'm SO used to seeing William B. Davis's younger self played by Chris Owens.

The Pentagon Wars

Possibly the best thing Elwes has been involved with since TPB.

I agree, Ken. It's a damn fine movie. I've seen it several times, and always enjoy it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I took it as a shout out.

Oh, I thought it was just a country boy thing. (psst - I have a Luke Duke doll, MIB, 1 of 12,000) (It was a gift)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe it is just a country boy thing.

But I do remember the buckles being available at the Mall during the Duke Boys heyday.

Mmm... Luke doll. I always loved Bo though.

you can call me bob.

I'm from Oklahoma and I can assure you that the belt buckles were the real deal and if you watch closely can still see members of the species gigantus bucklus foraging in their natural habitat (i.e. WalMart).

My college roommate has the Luke doll. Our third roommate got them for us for Christmas. We were late to rugby practice on a regular basis b/c of the Dukes of Hazzard reruns. This was a bad thing, since I was president at the time.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I will not tell you all how long it took me to figure out how a man fastens a belt to a dinner plate. Let us just say I'd been wondering about that since I was little, and finally figured it out when we went on a family trip to New Mexico and got to handle a few at tourist traps.

It might have been a shout out. SV's done them before. I think I remember one episode opened with JS driving down the road in a pick-up, listening to the radio play, "Just some good ol' boys, never meanin' no harm . . . "
