#1 High-speed pursuit...driving on the sidewalk...pursuing a fleeing barefoot girl...sounds like a 70s road flick.

#2 Sounds like "Elvis in Riyadh"...

#3 Or a classic episode of The Sheikhs of Hazzard. During the chase scene, someone picks an oud like a banjo in the background.

Being barefoot is probably the Wahabi equivalent to wearing daisy dukes.

#6 On the TV show Dukes of Hazzard Daisy Duke wore very tight short-shorts. Hereafter known as Daisy Dukes.

#8 Here's a sort-of safe for work link to a picture (explanations alone just don't cut it if you truly don't know what they are).

I agree GB will post something a lot better. ;-p

#9 Oh, cut-offs! We all wore those then. I didn't know they had a more formal name -- the family television broke when I was seven, and my baby brother bought a new 13" b&w out of his bar mitzvah gifts when I was seventeen, so I missed a big chunk of the common culture, going straight from "Flipper" and "Gentle Ben" to "Soap" and "Saturday Night Live". Thanks, guys!

#10 Well TW, i would not categorize them as just any old 'cut-offs' unless you define cut offs as a garment that is missing the entire leg panel and a goodly portion of that which would cover the hip and/or buttocks...... ( the latest Victoria Secret catalog recieved by the lovely Spousal Unit now calls such a short cut as 'cheeky')
