headaches
Reading about the Darling cure for headaches. I get some bad headaches and have tried many remedies. Tying a buzzard's head around my neck never occured to me. I once had a buzzard fly up over my head, land on a branch and hiss at me, however. And, if provoked, a buzzard will spit on you. They're mean, those buzzards. And pushy, very pushy.

RE: Floyds Glasses
Hey Johnna, That's interesting -great spotting! Well, I guess he was an "all around deceiver" or "miserable deceitful wretch" in that episode! :-) As Andy would say, "that's vanity."

RE: Floyd's Glasses
Keith, I agree that they did fit his personality! He sure completed the character of Floyd, down to the "little bits." It's amazing to think that he passed away at such a relatively young age. I wonder if there are any interviews? Yes, I would love to hear Howard McNear talk about the show, or just anything, really. Over and Under, Clyde "Barn" Floyd: "I demand satisfaction!"

Howard McNear
I once read an interview with Andy Griifith and he said what made Floyd so funny to them, is because Howard McNear wasn't acting when he portrayed Floyd-he was ACTUALLY like that. -- Walter "Ted" Kamprad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

re:floyds age

A Mayberry Moment
Cotton is a huge crop in my neck of the woods.Each year we have a cotton festival,and this past weekend was a very successful one.During church Sunday,the choir dressed in period clothing.Our preacher donned a pair of bib overalls,shirt and tie,coat and work boots.I'm sure by now you know where I'm going with this...yup,the spittin' image of Rafe Hollister all gussied up.When I told the preacher,he said "Who"?I immediately told him he needed to repent.When I mentioned TAGS,it dawned on him.Alas,a wrong was righted. Dewey in NC No one has solved the true identity of Mr. Schwump.For ages,people have been trying to figure out which came first,the chicken or the egg.According to Genesis 1:20-22,the chicken came before the egg.Maybe we need divine intervention for solving the Schwump mystery. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Welford's Opie Gun-Sighting
>>Maybe my eyes deceived me, and I need to look again. When Opie the Birdman played, and Andy walked over to open the window so Opie could hear the orphan birds, the camera went back to Opie and the nightstand and it looked like a .45 pistol on the table??? What was it? I know my eyes aren't as sharp as they once were but that brief moment appeared to hold a .45!! Can someone enlighten me on what it was?? Welford TheCameraNut<< "That's gotta be that fancy blue steel Colt .45 that I once seen in the sporting goods section at Weaver's Department Store. Opie sure gets good stuff from Weaver's.

TAGS actors
Dear TAGS, Have so many to tell. On Bonanza a while back, Mr. O'Malley was on with 2 other rich men trying to get Ben's Ponderosa. The rich lady with the fur stole on during Raffe Hollister singing with Andy is the same lady (I think) that was at the hotel with the jewelry at the hotel with Barney. Fred Goss was on the Dick van Dyke show yesterday with his on screen wife at a party at a house. Someone asked him a question and he got all nervous and was complaining. His wife had on a dress with the very wide collar with sparkling rhinestones or gems. He was probably dreading dry cleaning it. Rob Petrie left something in Alan Brady's office and was going to break in and get it. Along came the nightwatchman. It was the man who owned Jimmy the Goat. Also, I think the same guy was the man who's brakes were squeaking and Andy got fed up and give him a ticket. I think that show was the one that he told Aunt Bee to pack him a skillet and some bacon that he was going to the hills. I can't. Barney has the ladder. Poor Queenie! Sand Mt.
