Great link, thanks for posting it.  Gave you the feeling you were riding along in the car, in a sea of General Lees.

Nice video but you know, I doubt I would ever use the term "assload" to describe anything.  Ever. No way.

As a matter of fact, when I read it above my butt cheeks sorta automatically clamped down.

It's come to my attention that Punkmaster-B seems to be swearing a lot more around here these days. Whuzzup wit dat, B?

What was the "official" year of the general lee? Or was there one?

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

1969

[mikepmcs]

If you are talking about show production the first episode aired Jan 26th 1979.

If you are asking the year of the car it is a 1969 Dodge Charger. 

Also you can type in general lee above in the search and find a ton of info on it as well.    Look for any post that JIMSHINE makes and you will get the most correct info.  IMHO.

Isn't it funny how some people call that 'adult' language?....

[73chgrSE]

What is the metric equivalent of an "Assload"?

What is the metric equivalent of an "Assload"?

Ok, here we go.  Sorry I don't have exact numbers.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=assload

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=metric+assload

metric 

A modifier meaning "even more than"

Most commonly used with buttload, assload, or sh#$load.

The modifier 'metric' has been co-opted from the term 'metric ton,' which is 205 pounds more than a 'ton.'

So, an 'assload' is a lot, but a 'metric assload' is even more.

IE:  A pipe broke, and now there's a metric buttload of water in my basement!

metric buttload n. a large but indeterminate quantity. Also metric ass-load, metric f***-load, metric sh#$-load.

Sometime along the time of British metric conversion, The Powers That Be ran up to a quandry - what to do with the arseload, known worldwide as the British Assload. No suitable metric counterpart was immediately available. Thus, an equivalent mass, the metric assload was invented.
Not to be outdone, the Canadians soon got in on the act during their very own metric conversion. Sensing that a metric assload wasn't large enough for measuring things such as beer, ice, snowfall or hooses per square kilometer, the metric shitton was set to be equal to 100 of the British's new metric assload.

I think the metric equivalent is an Arseload...

[BB1]

This Mike guy is one hell of a poster. I think he has brains up his assload.   

(Adj) Did you see the "assload" of potatoes he had to deliver?

(N) You sir are double half stack of "assload."

(Sentence) Assload,... you call that an Assload, I've seen better assloads on a assload Carrier.

I went to the Dukefest last year.  There were a lot of General's there but only a few were good restorations.  Rest were 20 footers.  Some of the guys seemed to have done there own work and knew what they were talking about but a lot apparently hired others to do the resto work.  Some of the work was real poor.  A Mopar show where real Mopar folks attend is more interesting and valuable to those of us serious about our restorations.  I did get to talk to the fellows that actually jumped the cars in the tv show and they were really nice.  But so were the stars.  Exceptionally nice.

I think there are going to be some changes this year as far as autographs are concerned.  John Schneider told me that last year he was only able to sign 6 or 7 thousand autographs.  Thats a bunch.  But probaby 50,000 wanted one.  He says that he will have a trailer there and you can leave what you want in his trailer in a self addressed stamped envelope or box and he will sign it and send it back to you.  I don't think he will be signing any autographs at the show.  I suppose that could change.  I have no idea what the others will do.  Far as I know, Cooter didn't sign any since he was busy with trying to run the show and deal with mad attendees.  Of course, you can catch him at his shop.  I don't know what those guys that want a hood signed are going to do.

It was really hot there.  We thought we were getting there early and we did but we didn't understand that you need to park outside the place and walk in and get in line.  You can walk in past the gate anytime and walk up to where the line forms.  The best place to park it turns out was the back side were the Generals come in.  I would suggest scoping the place out the day before to get an idea of the lay of the land.

Last year was my 2nd and last Dukesfest.  First year at Bristol I didnt' get any autographs because I didnt' understand how it all worked.  By the time I figured it out it was too late.  The lines were a mile long.  At Nashville, I got everyone's autograph on my 1:18 scale car and the section of body I cut off specially to get autographed (left quarter 2 feet either side of the flip-top gas cap and about a foot wide).

Going to the shows was a piece of cake for me since I live in Chattanooga and it's not too far to either Bristol or Nashville.  There were a lot of people from Indiana at the Nashville show.  And some from foreign countries.  It's pretty well nirvana for a Duke fan. 

They jumped a car but I didn't stay to watch.  The car was pure junk welded together and made to look like a General from 100 feet.  The I-piece was made out of some sheet tin.  The rest of the body was badly rusted and they had roll bars and other strengthing bars welded in to it in a inconspicuous fashion.  So nobody should worry too much about them jumping one of these. 

While you are in Nashville, Corky's is the place to get good BBQ ribs.  Also, check out 2nd street downtown at night.  You need to park in a garage as all the street parking disappears quickly.  No matter if you go into any of the clubs, it's fun just to walk up and down the street and check out the night scene.

[bee_fishy_6869]

So like shitload, but different?

According to the urban dictionary
"assload; more than a lot but less than a shitload"

LOL

That footage was shot from inside my General Lee. I posted that on YouTube.  After driving home that night, I could still hear the horns echoing in my head.
