Opie's shirt
I have noticed that in most of the color episodes,it seems that Opie wears the same multi hued shirt. Do you think it was his favorite shirt,or a result of studio budget cuts?Curious. Dewey in NC A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by Barney.He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education than a hick cop from North Carolina. He decides to have some fun at Barney's expense.Barney says "License and registration,please". "What for?" says the lawyer.Barney says,"You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign". Then the lawyer says,"I slowed down and no one was coming"."You still didn't come to a complete stop,says Barney.License and registration,please".The lawyer says,"What's the difference"? "The difference is you have to come to a complete stop,that's the law.License and registration, please"! Lawyer says,"If you can show me the difference between slow down and stop,I'll give you my license and registration;and you give me the ticketif not,you let me go and don't give me the ticket". "That sounds fair.Please exit your vehicle,sir" Barney says. At this point,Barney takes out his nightstick and starts putting lumps on the lawyer and says "Do you want me to stop,or just slow down"? Moral of story:Don't under estimate small town Southern analogy. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Squad car, badge, pistol
That had to beeb a sad day to have to put the car in storage. But, think of that great spring day when you go get it. As for the badge having 6 points and the inside star 5, it doesn't make it any less special. One of the last presents i got for daddy was a sheiff's badge. He just loved it. It reminded him of all the shows we had fun watching. And then the pistol, in Opie the Birdman, i saw it too, s did we decide really there or a toy?

Mayberry Is Everywhere
For those who have been to Mt Airy, you may remember that the Emporium is a three story building on Main Street that has multiple booths of good quality arts and crafts items, clothing and a host of other merchandise and it still houses a makeshift Mayberry Jail for photographs. On the third floor of the Emporium are two mechanized statues of an "old" man and an "old" woman that are very real looking and they used to vibrate when you would stand in front of them. Today on American Pickers, Mike and Frank were in Wisconsin farmland on a "pick", and I noticed in the background of a building the same statue of the man that is in the Emporium. I watched the rest of the show just to see if they were interested in the statue but they weren't. Seeing that statue reminded me of seeing "him" in Mt Airy during my many trips to Mayberry Days and that Mayberry is Everywhere :-) - The Gollywobbler ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Missing the Digest
As a Charter subscriber I have not been able to receive the Digest for several weeks now. Talk about a void in one's life. I do, however, go to the archives and I try to read that every few days so I am able to keep up with the Mayberry chatter out there. We put the squad car in storage this weekend and it will be away from home until April 15. It will be the first time ever that I really looked forward to tax day coming. I have a Mayberry presentation to do this Thursday for our Kiwanis noon luncheon at the Eau Claire Country Club. This will be my 35th presentation since I started giving them. I have eight more scheduled so I am thrilled to be able to keep the spirit of Mayberry alive here in the beautiful city of Eau Claire.
