Quote of the Day
ANDY: I'd say we're better off than a lot of people. Got a roof over our heads, Aunt Bee--finest food you ever put in your mouth-- Barney for a friend. Yeah, in some ways I'd say we are rich. BARN: You see Opie, it ain't only the materialistic things in this world that makes a person rich. There's love and friendship...That can make a person rich. -- ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
More on Nice Dress Nellie
>>>My one claim to fame is that I came up with "Nice Dress Nellie." It is based on a comment in one episode Andy made to Nellie about her dress. I'm hoping to maybe get invited to Mayberry Days as one of the celebrities. They can introduce me from the stage and I'll smile and nod. Dan<<< I would like to provide unofficial Verification to Dan's claim (official verification, as we know, only comes in the mail). I remember when he dubbed her with this moniker. My "Claim to fame" on this nice lady is that I (with Allan's help) built her Character Webpage, listing as many of her appearances as I have been able to detect/recall at the time. (but I'm sure there are more) What has not been mentioned, is that she, like Mr. Schwamp remains a mystery as to her real name. Someone confused the episode that Andy mentioned her nice dress (When Barney locks everyone up in jail) with the one where she appears as one of the girls Barney sends over for Andy to choose from. That's an understandable mistake because that episode, I believe, is the only one that she actually speaks. Here is that webpage I mentioned. It has her picture. http://www.mayberry.info/history/index.php?title=Nellie One of the more interesting appearances (and it's hard to tell from a distance that it is her) is when all the guys bring their car to Gomer at Andy's house...She is among those who pull up and get out. She is often seen with Tom Jacobs , as someone mentioned, and it also seen at times arriving with Mr. Scwamp. Sometimes her appearance is a very fleeting walk-through and you have to stop the DVD/Tape to see that it is her. She is Miss Mayberry/everywoman.

That's a rather common thing among ex-cons,<< Skippy and Daphne were not ex-cons. I believe they only "played " jail. I Believe you mean Naomi (also played by Jean "Hello Doll" Carson) and Sally. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Eptness
Well, I don't know about Ken's eptness or hiring him to paint a porch or anything, but I know one thing: I will NEVER buy another fur piece from him. I paid $13 for that last one, and don't get me wrong - it was bee-u-tee-ful, and I gave it to my girlfriend and man was she happy. Until the next day when the fur started falling out - IN BUNCHES. Well, she called me up crying and we had a big fight and, well, long story short, there went the dreams of the ivy covered cottage and the the pitter-patter of little feet...PFFF! Now, that was a long time ago, and I have since forgiven Ken, but if you're asking if I would buy another fur piece or even a watch off of him, then the answer is a big fat NO. I'll just wait until Bert Miller gets back in town. Now theres a man who sells quality merchandise. Of course, all of the above was said completely in jest. I have never met Ken, but I believe him to be a prince of a fellow and I would buy a fur piece off of him anytime. :) Also, I think "The Luck of Newton Monroe" gives us one of the all time great TAGS qoutes, one which I like to interject into conversation as often as possible: "What's to digging a hole? But that cost us seventeen dollars." Doug Johnson Snowed in in western NC _ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

Losing Color
Was anyone else watching “Goodbye Dolly” Saturday afternoon on TVLand when it started out in color, turned into black & white in the middle, and ended back in color? Very weird! I promise that I don’t drink, nor do I ingest anything mind-altering, but I sure thought for a minute that I was hallucinating!

Alumni Sighting
Parley Baer, aka Mayor Stoner, in an “Outer Limits” episode last night playing the cynical brother of a scientist who had made contact with an alien life form. I recognized him from his body language before I ever saw his face, but he did seem to have more hair here.

Nice dress Nellie
Subject lady was the passenger in the convertible passing by the old gentleman's house, newly refurbished by the mayor and others, who thought Mayberry was Elm City. Aunt Bee of Orlando ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE: Nice Dress Nellie
>>Nice Dress Nellie appears in many episodes, sometimes as far away as across >>the street (as in "Ernest T. Joins The >>Army). I can't recall which episode, >>(maybe season Two?) but Andy passes her on the street and says "Hi Nellie." >>Since >>she is always wearing a "nice dress" someone came up with the >>nickname (I reckon it was a trained noticer). Don't know >>if it was one of >>the members here, but it's been in use as long as I can remember. Another >>interesting tidbit - She's >>seen leaving the church arm in arm with Tom >>Jacobs in "The Sermon For Today" but lives in the adjacent house to Tom in "A Deal Is A Deal." Like it's been mentioned before, almost everyone in >>Mayberry seemed to be single! >>Curt >>Birmingham AL Hey Curt, I believe Nellie got her name here on wbmutbb because of the episode where Andy goes out of town for the day and Barney arrests everyone in Mayberry. When Andy lets them out of the cells and she walks by him, he says "Nice dress Nellie". I can't remember if Paul Mulik or Joe Gritton came up with the name for her. Also, I was watching the Biography channel on the January 27th and one of the Don/Andy/Mayberry Retrospect shows they showed a piece of the pilot from the Danny Thomas show. I believe I saw Nice Dress Nellie and Tom Jacobs on the sidewalk outside where Andy was giving Danny the ticket.

My Blunder
Boy, how could I make such a stupid mistake as saying Skippy, Daphne, and Big Maude were ex cons. I know better than that. Big Maude may have been but Skippy and Daphne were nothing more than Fun Girls, and I don't think you can be sent to jail just for being fun girls. You see, when you get to be my age you have senior moments and I guess that was one of them. Unfortunately my senior moments are stretching out to being senior days. Thanks Joe for pointing out this grave malfeasance of mine. I stand corrected.

Doug's Post
Hey Doug, where do you think Mr. Schwump got his rug from? Right out of the trunk of my '66 Chevy. It was originally part of my trunk mat. I am a firm believer in recycling.
