Encouraging our members
>>>Maybe people that aren't that familar with the show shouldn't be on this sight.<<< Debbie, I hope we won't discourage folks from being part of our little corner of Mayberry just because they are not as familiar with the show as some of us are. Obviously, the fellow who took offense at Paul's post now realizes that he made a wrong assumption, since so many people have clarified what Paul was actually doing. We have to realize that some of our members are newer fans of the show who have only recently "discovered" TAGS for themselves and may not have seen nearly all of the episodes, let alone seen each one multiple times as many of us have. Let's instead encourage them in their love for this great, classic show! As they watch TAGS more and continue to read the digest, they will learn more, and their enjoyment of the show will surely grow. Remember, the quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. You're not talkin' to a jerk, ya know!

Safety in a small town
I lived in the town of Freemont Ohio in the 1930s, which at that time was fairly small & Mayberry like & was a safe place for kids. Mama had grown up in the big city of Cleveland, so she gave my sister & I what she thought of as safety rules, one of which was never to get into a car with strangers as well as never talk to them. One day as my sister & I & our neighbor Jimmy were walking home, a car stopped & a lady asked us if we would like a ride home. Jimmy accepted but my sister & I refused & we were worried that we would never see Jimmy again. Unknown to us, was that the lady was a friend of moms & recognized my sister &,I but she wasn't someone we knew. She laughingly told my mom she had trained us well, when she related it to her. I'm sure little Leon's mom & dad knew he was safe anywhere he wandered in town, because most folks knew everybody, & knew when there was someone new in town as in the episode Stranger in Town.

Offended GI
Let's hope the offended GI has gotten the message by now RE: Marine Corps. We in Mayberry don't offend and we don't take offense. If you can't take the comments posted here in the spirit of a 50s and 60s laidback lifestyle, then maybe another web site would be more appropriate for you.

Lockin Up ??? Naw !
Honestly, around here folks seldom lock their doors and I have never seen anyone use those security button alarm lock things on their vehicle hereabouts. Just yesterday I was in town an our local grocery store and left my car with the windows rolled down and stuff inside. No worries. Most all of us here are like that. Security systems salesmen would starve out here :) and when I ran out of gas on the way out, I didn't need AAA. :) We help each other here in our real Mayberry. In fact the more I think of it, our sheriff is very similar to Andy... except he is happily married for a long while now. He is the one to do the grilling at our fourth of July get together in the town square. We even have a real town square ! lol, I tend to take it for granted sometimes but we got something VERY special here. I almost don't want to tell others so as to keep it this way. See ya at church!

Support for our troops
I have an idea to support the troops too. Let's each of us donate what we can to TAGSRWC in the name of our troops so Jim can send a set (or more) of the DVDs to the USO that serves our Iraqi forces. I will match whatever is collected and cover the postage to send these. I can't think of any better viewing material for our boys (and girls) in uniform!

I was so happy that someone keeps saying that one of the Darlin boys actually talked. I put on that episode just to see. I had watched it many times but just didn't catch it. This time however, there it was, one of them actually talked. Thanks for keeping us all posted on the neat little things that happend in Mayberry!

Update on the Little Leon Case
I have contacted the respected attorney Neil Bentley and he has assured me that we have a case of child neglect with Leon. We will be pressing charges against Leon's parents and Mr. Taylor and Mr. Fife for this. We hope to have a hearing soon in Mr. Pilot. Please remember that this is purely for the GOOD of the town of Mayberry!!

Sooprize sooprize sooprize
Being married to a Marine Sergeant and mom to a Marine Corporal currently in Iraq ... I shall add my 2 cents... Gomer was sooo proud of being in the USMC.. he loved every minute of it. He loved his Sergeant and aimed to please him. He understood Semper Fi and honor in the Corps. and I don't recall Gomer ever getting angry. Semper Fi to my Marines ..and THANK YOU to ALL who served !

Marine "Corpse" / Gomer
I don't think Mr. Mulik thought he was "trying to be funny" in the least when he called the Marine Corps the "Marine Corpse". What he WAS doing in fact was referring to and quoting a TAGS episode titled "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." when Gomer was either drafted (or decide to join because he was soon to be drafted) into the "United States Marine Corpes". (THAT is the way Gomer pronounced it in that episode), as a matter of fact, Andy himself pronounced that way too (seemingly due to his shock at Gomer actually joining the "Marine Corps"). I assume the writer of that episode Aaron Ruben was indeed trying to be funny when he decided to have Gomer AND Andy pronounce it that way, or was it an ad lib by Andy Griffith and Jim Nabors? (either way it succeeded in being funny), and they did not intend a single ounce of disrespect or a "slur", nor did Mr. Mulik. This was episode number 127, from season 4, and first aired on May 18, 1964. ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Project Mayberry
I hope I am not violating a rule with this idea. I mentioned in an earlier post that I am donating six of my books to the troops in Iraq. My books cost me approximately $7.00 each to print. If any of you would like to buy a book to donate to the troops I will let you have one for $8.00. ( selling price is $14.95) The $1.00 will be used for packing the books and gas for delivering them. I would put your name and address with "Donated by" on the inside cover so you will be sent a thank you. ( The newspaper article said to do that). I will deliver them to the pick up spot and they will ship them free. All you would need to do is email me your name and address and you could send the money later. I would need to get the books to the pick up site within the next few days.

Mayberry in Iraq
There was an article in our morning paper today asking for book donations to be sent to our troops in Iraq. They especially wanted local authors to donate books. I took six of my "Mayberry Reflection" books and donated them. We have discussed many times on the Digest as to what we should do with our old VHS tapes of TAGS. I had already given all mine away, otherwise I would have donated them to be shipped along with the books. Maybe that is something those of you who have old tapes could look into doing. Not sure if they would take them, but it sure would be worth checking out. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the "Spirit of Mayberry" could find its way into that troubled part of the world. I am sure it would bring some very enjoyable moments to our troops. Several years ago a friend of mine went to the middle east on a missionary trip and he borrowed a number of my TAGS videos to take along to use as teaching tools with the children. They were not allowed to do any religious teaching so he thought TAGS would work great. When he came back and returned the tapes he said the children just loved them.

Paul
Dear Paul, I'm sorry that someone misunderstood your comment about the military. I did not misunderstand it at all because I am a fan of TAGS...Anyone that is truely a fan would have gotten exactly what you were doing. My son -n-law is military and has been in Iraq but not for one minute did I think that you were doing anything but quoting Gomer. Maybe people that aren't that familar with the show shouldn't be on this sight. _ Find a local pizza place, movie theater, and more .then map the best route! http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&ss=yp.bars~yp.pizza~yp.movie%20theater&cp=42.358996~-71.056691&style=r&lvl=13&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=950607&encType=1&FORM=MGAC01 ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
