The History of Cucumbers in North Carolina
As most of you know I have a number of compellsions - one being pickles. One of my most favorite TAGS episodes is of course "The Pickle Story". Since Barney once said he could always get a job as a brine tester at the pickle factory I decided to research the growing of cucumbers in North Carolina. Here is what I learned. The cucumber is believed to be native to India. It was first brought to North Carolina in the mid 1500's. They were most likely brought to North America by the Spaniards who then taught Native Americans how to grow European vegetables. ( chances are the Battle of Mayberry occurred right at the peak of the cucumber growing season so that is why so few Indians were in the battle). (It is also too bad Aunt Bee didn't wasn't around at that time. After the infamous battle, they could have smoked one of her pickles rather than peace pipes.) Cucumbers are grown all across the state but they do prefer the well drained soils of the Coastal region of North Carolina. They grow best in full sun with moderate amounts of rain. There you have it folks. Everything you ever wanted to know about cucumbers in North Carolina. Not only is Allan's wonderful Digest a place of fun, foolishness, and great debates, it is also a place where one can come to improve one's mind and gain new knowledge. And it doesn't cost a dime, unlike Barney's Learn a Month Magazine. kanderson8...@charter.net www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry Businesses
One business in Mayberry that has not been mentioned is Ted's Pet Shop. In one show (I forget which), Andy is talking to Thelma Lou on the street in front of Ted's Pet Shop. Ted's Pet Shop also has the distinction of being the only chain store in Mayberry, because when Andy goes to Mount Pilot to visit Barney's Judo teacher, he parks the car in front of Ted's Pet Shop there in Mount Pilot. Funny thing, both stores look exactly alike in the front. I guess that is the way it is with chain stores. Orville Hendricks - Still peddling my butter and eggs. I was a little hurt no one mentioned that world famous buisness in Mayberry - Orville Hendricks Butter and Eggs. How soon they forget. _ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.

Re: song titles
I thought that it was neat that two of the Darling songs really existed. Are there any others? I always thought they were funny titles put to regular songs.

Re: film editing
When the show is in the editing room, the editor will look for sounds or dialogue that are inaudible,such as sweeping or fudge mumbling. In this case of Barney eating fudge, I don;t know if it was redubbed or not.

Hallelujah Trail
Hey, Mayberry friends. My Dad is 80, lives alone, and loves the Western Movie Channel. I walked in this morning and he was watching The Hallelujah Trail with Burt Lancaster. In less than 15 minutes I saw several TAGS actors. Hope Summers (Clara Edwards) playing a piano; Dub Taylor (preacher, postmaster); Noam Pitlick (Goobers friend at the car show); and a little old lady as an extra just as she was in "Those Gossip'n Men". There may have been more if I'd watched more.

Re: mayberry business
It may have been mentioned, but the Mayberry Diner. Also the newspaper, I don't remember its name. Was it The Mayberry Gazette? There is also the second hand store across the street from the jail.

Talking while eating fudge
I'm not sure about talking and eating fudge, but I do know that if you go way out on Highway 6 on a motorcycle with your mouth open, it's impossible to pronounce a word that starts with the letter S.

Finger Prints
Hey, Mayberry friends, Recently I went to work for the US Census Bureau, and on your first day you're fingerprinted. Imagine that, and having a pretty girl hold your hand the whole time. She wore the prettiest purfume, too. I'm glad my wife didn't see that. I wonder if they use a fingerprint set like Barney wished for. It sure looked similar.

Thanks, Kim
Thanks, Kim. I agree on every point.I love "Andy" and the classic comedy. As a small town/farm kid, I recognize the show's characters as versions of people I knew/know. Don Knotts was an artist, TV's greatest comic actor. Ever.I grow weary of the constant and unwanted religious injections as well. My dad was a church elder and deacon and I grew up around The Bible and our church. But I don't beat people over the head with it. Faith should be a personal thing. When people talk loudly about God, family and country, I clutch my wallet a bit tighter around them.That's one reason I adore "Andy." Laughter is a welcome gift.Hope this gets in ...tom, who also lived in Lost Wages, Nevada _ The New Busy is not the old busy.

Silent Fudge...Revisited
Here's one that maybe a "trained noticer" might know. I was watching "Barney and Thelma Lou, Pt!" (you might need a hanky to dry off after all of them 'f's) last night, and in the scene where Barn and Andy check doors together, sharing a bag of store-bought fudge, Barney's mouth seems to be full of fudge, yet he is clearly enunciating all of the words. That made me wonder if location filming was done "mute," that is, without recording the sound? I've read that The Avengers (British show contemporary to TAGS) was filmed this way during the b/w episodes, although American techniques may have been different at the time, due to differing technologies, etc. Maybe the sound could've been dubbed in later just for this particular scene and others like it. Has anyone read or heard about this? Paw, it's been praying on my mind. Over and Under, Clyde "Barn" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
