Carnival goings on
The carnival that came to the fair in the county where I grew up had some of those dancing "beauties." Admittance to the tent was adults only. And to ensure that only paying customers saw the show, they spread cow manure on the ground where the bottom of the tent fell. I know this because a guy from my school got the "bright" idea that he could see the show by laying on the ground on his back and lift up the curtain. He didn't stay long enough to see much, but he got up with manure all over his back. The sheriff's office had "plain clothes" deputies patrolling the carnival. This was the sixties, but "plain clothes" meant suits in July with straw sailor hats and canes that could be used to catch fleeing bad guys. They didn't fool anyone, but that was kind of the idea.

Schwamp & Otis
>>>The first episode where I saw Mr. Schwump wearing glasses, was in the episode where Warren teaches Otis about mosaic art.<<< Silvia, this is off your point, but reading your post reminded me of my visit last week to the Indiana State Fair. While in one building, my mom and I were viewing the paintings on display. On one wall was a mosaic of a pig. Of course, I immediately thought of Otis's cow mosaic. (I think this one of the pig was a little better than Otis's artwork.) Then when leaving the building, I saw an older gentleman seated on a bench. I noticed his nice, full head of hair, which looked a bit artificial. Naturally, my mind went to Mr. Schwamp. It's funny how many little things in everyday life make me think of TAGS--and I don't even have to tryl!

question marks
I think I may have solved the situation where question marks seem to suddenly appear in the text of typed messages. The question mark key is right next to the shift key so perhaps when pressing that key to capitalize at the beginning of a new sentence, the least little bit of your baby finger is hitting it. It could also be floating down there when preparing to hit Enter to space down too. If your keyboard is one of those with the keys real close together like on my laptop, it is even more of a challenge. My home computer keyboard is spaced further apart and I highly recommend it.

re mayberry fight song
Hi everyone in tags land. After reading all the posts about the Mayberry Union High fight song it made my think about the 30 year reunion show. In the show Barney, Howard Sprague, and Goober sang the song only it was Mayberry Central High. I have the show on video tape, does anyone remember that? from "Mayberry" Mike ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Green River Ordiance
One of the regulations for canoeing the Green River in NC is that no alcohol or glass containers are permitted on the river. It's a state law. I guess you might even call it the Green River Ordinance. I wondered what was the Green River Ordiance. Here, we had in the forties a Green River Ordiance, and it was a manufacturing plant of some sort during the 1940's. I firmly believe that in every situation, no matter how difficult, God extends grace greater than the hardship, and strength and peace of mind that can lead us to a place higher than where we were before. -Andy Griffith I am glad that you put that up there, Vivian. "Spread a Little Sunshine" is the song that I think Barney and Andy sang together the best. We did not have songs like this up north. I do remember "There is a Fountain." -- "Then the Lord said to me, 'You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.'"
