Today was rainy and horrible outside, so I retreated to my recliner and watched Smokey and the Bandit, for the 1000th. Time. Not just today, but long term. So here’s my question DO NOT google the answer.

What was the Bandits real name in the movie Burt is not the answer.

well that didn’t take long! All the times I’ve watched it, I never knew it until today.

That is such a bland name, they shoulda let Jackie Gleason pick his character name!

I always like the part when Jerry runs over the motorcycles...cracks me up every time.

I've asked it here once, but one of the 3 young guys that had started to strip the Chevy that Sally had been driving, looks a lot like Nicolas Cage. All my answers to that question were, no...

Yes, Bo Darvil, not Darbil

Darville, I believe. Is Bo is short for Beauregard? Beauregard Darville. Sounds like a fine name. With the right accent it would've sounded even better.

It does have a nice ring I knew an old timer from NC, his first name was RB. Pop asked him what RB stood for, he said that was his name, his parents couldn't read or write.

I named my first dog "Fred" after Cledus's dog. I had him 15 years, he was a great dog.

"He done good, didn't he Fred!"

Well he was a trucker.....

All of us truckers are legendary, or a little bit famous. LOL If it wasn't for us everyone would be waiting at a train station or rail yard for every thing they need. And that would suck big time. It takes trucks to get all goods to a store, no matter where you are. Think about it when you drink that beer, eat that hotdog, or wipe yer....

Even the new vehicle you drive was delivered by a trucker. And sometimes used cars too.

You’re a trucker? I didn’t know that, my ex boyfriend was a trucker, he once took me on a run in a Peterbilt that was fun sitting up that high looking down into cars. Ohhhhhh boy some of the things you see.

I would have loved to see the biker dudes faces when they came outside of the bar. Lolol.
