Gomer the mechanic
>>>When did Gomer know cars? I am not being obtuse or fa-sish-us, just forgot >>>the episode(s) when he did.<<< Well, a good example is "Gomer the House Guest" when Wally fired Gomer because he spent too much time jawing with the customers about the 30-cent bet he had with Bertie Blush (or was it Birdie? After all, when he got excited, he sounded just like a jay bird.). And thirty cents ain't hay, ya know! Consequently, when Gomer was staying at Andy's house, everyone who needed work done on their vehicles -- Luther, Merle Dean, Willy Jack, etc. -- showed up at Andy's house so that Gomer could do the repairs. Business fell off at Wally's so much that Wally rehired Gomer and even threw in an extra burner and an icebox for his kitchenette! (With all those improvements, Gomer might even think about getting married.) Gomer must have been pretty adept at fixing cars, since all his customers came to find him instead of going to Wally.

Andy & church going
I assumed that Andy missed any Sunday service that he had to work. Sheriffin' is a 24-7 job. Andy had no time off, esp. if Barney and Cousin Virgil were on vacation in Raleigh.

I'll be at Mayberry Days too - WBMUTBB Tees - WBMUTBB Auction
Hey Folks, With the self promotion and friend promotion we're breaking into, I wanted to let everybody know the "Floyd" will be at Mayberry Days signing autographsahwhere ever you can find him. The Mayberry Deputy, Goober, Otis, Opie and Howard Sprague will be signing too so y'all be on the look out. :) Really, I'm glad to see that WBMUTBB's own Kathryn Darden (she'll be in town as Flora during Mayberry Days as well) will be selling and signing her Mayberry poem book but I believe that we *may* have gotten a little heavy on the promotions department so lets just lay back a bit. We've had 4 mentions in the last few days on this one so "tick a lock" for a while. Another mention toward Mayberry Days would be good but for nowlets let this one go. That said, I'll now promote out WBMUTBB T-shirts. ha haha If you want 'em by Mayberry Days, you'll need to order in the next few weeks. It seems to be taking about 7 days to get the orders if you're cheap like me and use the $5 shipping. ha ha. So order early and save on shipping. http://www.cafepress.com/wbmutbb Also, remember the WBMUTBB Chapter Auction is coming up at Mayberry Days.

TAGS tags
>>>At the college where I work, I noticed a car with a Kentucky license plate >>>of JL-327. I told the driver I knew why he had it, and we had a great >>>conversation about TAGS. Does anyone here work in law enforcment, or some other agency that has the ability to check and see how many of the 50 states have issued a real license plate with JL-327? When I had my squad car, I had Missouri license plate JL-327. I believe Jim Clark still has it for Tennessee; Jack Fellenzer used to have the Iowa JL-327 tag on his squad car, but last I heard he had moved to Arkansas so maybe someone else in Iowa has it now. I guess it's also possible, albeit unlikely, that somebody somewhere happened to get that tag number by accident (by which I mean they didn't order personalized plates, they just live in some state where the plates have 2 letters followed by 3 digits, and they got it by random chance). --Paul ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TAGS and Ozzie and Harriet
TAGS is my all time fav show. Ozzie and Harriet is number two. It's amazing to me that TV Land doesn't show them. They were on the air for FOURTEEN years. Disney showed them for a time and I taped about 300 or so episodes, but would be great if we did have a TV LAND2 for the black and white shows.

(Most real life mechanics have to take something out first.) In the episode where he loses his job at Wally's and comes to live with the Taylors, he can diagnose problems just by someone giving him a verbal description and even the squeak one particular vehicle makes when the driver shakes it.

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 6, Issue 247
Hi all. This is totally way off the subject from what anyone has been talking about , but I got a question. I have thought and thought, I even used two different size buckets and a #4 wash tub, but I am still perplexed! In the episode "The Haunted House" why did Andy make a big deal out of the wall paper on the fireplace being torn only in one spot? If anyone could explain how this was a "clue" I sure would appreciate it. Besides my head's startin to get sorta flat on the top. (And just try typing with a bucket on your head!!!

Mystery actor and Halloween
That mystery actor sitting on the bull dozer in Aunt Bee the crusader, was none other than Tom Jacobs..who is actually a brother to Danny Thomas. You will see him all over if you keep watching. He gets a long look when Barney says "What's a matter? Haven't you ever seen a man take off a dress before? (after breaking out of Bank vault I think) I think Paul mentioned a while back that he speaks in Goober takes a car apart "How'd they do it Sheriff" and one other time when someone got on a bus...but he is always in the background. There is not a Halloween episode, but there are several references to Trick or Treat..so they must have celebrated it. (when they all dressed up for the movie in the first season).

Gomer knows cars
"When did Gomer know cars? I am not being obtuse or fa-sish-us, just forgot the episode(s) when he did. Opie's Dad, Martin Simmons" Martin. In Gomer the Houseguest episode 97 I believe. Everyone was bringing their cars to Andy's house where Gomer was staying..and Wally lost all his business when he fired Gomer for taking too much and slowing things down. Gomer could tell from his second floor window what was wrong just by the sound. Andy led all the cars and Gomer back to Wally, where he rehired him.

Answering Joe (Gritton)
Greetings all, I claim to be Florida's most avid Andy Griffith Show fan because of my car tag, JL-327, but here is something I must have missed. JOE GRITTON wrote - Its just one of those inconsistencies like ... Gomer knowing nothing about cars, and then being a genius mechanic. Crazy me, I don't remember that! I thought Gomer always referred to his cousin Goober as the genius mechanic, putting a car engine on a boat (that's fast on water), not knowing anything but gas & oil, and Gomer was the go-between with Malcolm Tucker in "Man In A Hurry". Of course Goober WAS the car genius. My favorite Goober episode is #144, Goober Takes a Car Apart. Floyd is perfect (I heard it then, it sounded like a sneeze) and Goober's "Cha-Wheat" & "Pucka Pucka like ole' banney rooster" get me every time! I always wondered if Gilley Walker learned to drive so fast from running from the Germans on Hogan's Heroes? When did Gomer know cars?

Mayberry Days
Joe, you were right in my neighborhood.Abington is right down the road from me. I have 1 more question for all of the trained spotters out there.This 1 is also from Aunt Bea The Crusader. There is an actor that appeared on quite a few TAGS episodes. On this episode he is working for the road crew and Andy asks him to help move things from Mr.Frisbee's home. He is also on the episode where Barney tags the Governor's car, and several others in the background. What is this gentleman's name.Also if any of you go to Mayberry Days and get any extra autographs or event autographs i will gladly buy them.

Helen the Authoress
Seeing I am in the process of having a book published I decided to watch "Helen the Authoress" last night. I must admit I am going through some of the same anxieties Helen experienced. There are so many things to do and think about, I find most of my time is spent on my book and I am not having time for my wife. Very similar to Helen and Andy. However, my wife is very understanding, so I don't think things will get nearly as bad as they did for Andy and Helen. I would like to mention to any of you who may be considering doing a book, that we have an excellent person among us could help you greatly. When I decided to go with Westview Publishing, I requested to have Kathryn Darden be my author representative. In case you have forgotten, Kathryn put together the delightful book "A Tribute to Mayberry". I have a number of poems in her book. Kathryn will be having two Book Signings at Mayberry Days of Friday, September 22 and Saturday, September 24 at Page's Book Store. For more information you can check out http://www.christianactivities.com/mayberry/story.asp?ID=5862 Kathryn hopes to have copies of my book with her if they are ready by then. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend Mayberry Days this year. So if you are considering a book in the future, be sure to request Kathryn as your author representative. She does a fantastic job with publicity packages for inspirational and/or Christian books, and I am sure she would be more than happy to help anyone get started. Kenneth G.
