I accidentally stumbled on this video today and thought we have enough older people that might be interested in some of these things. The movie Smokey and the Bandit is one of my favorite ones of all time. I watched it so many times in the late 80s because my youngest son liked it so much that for a period of time we watched it every day.

Some very interesting things about "Smokey and the Bandit'' main characters. I find this one to be something very interesting about those characters.

Here are a few of Buford T's funniest lines. Some may be cleaned up a bit but they are still all funny. I have read that many of his choicer words resulted in new ones in our language, like ScumBum, which certainly isn't what he actually said.

Somewhere, yesterday, I saw that the number was just 3. I guess it means something where you get the words.
