The Duel. A Flash feature. Actually, as I write this, I'm worried that it's lame. But I smiled and you don't have anything going on for the next three minutes, anyway.

Oh, it's lame.

And mildly amusing.

Well, that certainly answered my most pressing question.

Very silly, but not lame (and I'm a master of lame posts, and also, before today, the undisputed master of pre-apologizing for my posts).

On the good side, it used mutiple pop culture references to avoid lameness; on the bad side, it missed several possibilities for Comedy Gold, including (but not limited to) Burt Reynolds' toupee, and the final scene should've shown the KKKluckers burning a bucket.

(I'm sorry, should I have included a Spoiler Warning?)

That didn't offer me anything I can't see looking out my back window.

We know, we know. Saying that all southerners are anthropomorphic banjo-playing squirrels is a gross generalization. Sure, the south has its share of anthropomorphic banjo-playing squirrels. However, there are worse anthropomorphic banjo-playing squirrels in Queens or South Boston. At least the anthropomorphic banjo-playing squirrels in the south are upfront about being anthropomorphic banjo-playing squirrels.

Your objections are well founded and I apologize to all southerners who are reading this. I shouldn't have given the sick bigot who fashioned this cruel tool of hate any more publicity.

Dang.

That was the best "Dukes of Hazzard" episode, ever.

sorry, but i gotta vote LAME. close, but nope. (at least i waited until way down here ...)

you start off with a squirrel and a pengiun playing banjos, and it's hard to lose, but the squeals were cheap and overplayed, and why the hell where the Duke boys chasing the pigs across the county line? i didn't stick around for the end, and that's a great song.

the best Dukes episode was with the aliens, imo.

I bumped into Deliverance the other day. I flipped to it just at the duel scene started. Quite interesting. I tivoed the rest and watched it. Great movie. Tricky, but I liked it. I thought the fact that they were in a river that was soon going to be a lake was interesting.
