RE: Nervous Barney
A nice surprise on TCM this evening, The Bishop's Wife, with David Niven, Cary Grant and Loretta Young. I've seen this movie a million and a half times but I noticed something tonight so Don Knotts like that I'm beside myself. Early in the movie the Bishop returns to his dinner table after his first encounter with an angel. He's still in a state of shock as he picks up his water glass and suddenly the ice tinkle and don't stop. The Bishop's wife asks him if he's nervous. In a most perfect Barney look alike (and Niven suit Knotts to a T) his eyes bug out, his neck elongates and he barely whispers "No." I'll always be looking for that scene now in future airings Harriet, the chicken thief, hiding out in Kelsey's Woods, USA .."Johnny Paul Jason says chewing tar is good for your teeth"..."That's an old wives tale""Johnny Paul ain't married" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

I found Gary's query interesting, "what did these unseen Mayberry girls look like". I would really like to have seen one of the objects of Ernest T. Bass' affections "Hogget Winslow"? since she was a mountain girl would she have resembled Idell Bushy? Then that discussion leads me into contemplating what "AL" would have looked like to be such an attraction for the girls who escaped from prison that held Barney and Floyd hostage and wasn't the gang leader Barney's voice teacher? . Wishing everyone here a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. G-d bless. Dolly ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE: Chickens in the woods
Old Man Kelsey's on to me. I better bug out. They got better mocking birds on the other side of the mountain anyway. But lately I've been dropping chickens off to the needy farms instead of thieving. You know the saying; it's better to fatten your neighbor's tummy than to fill your own fireplace pot. Y'all have a Merry Christmas and careful with that bubbly-wubbly on New Year's Eve. For me, I'd rather have a pinch of Thelma Lou and Barney's Cashew Fudge.

Down in the Woods
Look here!! My spyglass won't pick up anything 'cause the woods is too thick down yonder by the creek. But I tell you, I keep hearin' chickens down in there!! You 'spose Harriet is stealin' chickens and hidin' them down in my woods?? Tell you what, if'n I was able to get down in thar, I'd get me one er two and put them in my pot fer Christmas dinner and have enough left over to feed the hound. 'Course I'd'a took the bones out first 'cause you can't give no dog chicken bones! Well, there ain't no need o'worryin' over it, cause don't reckon them chickens will hurt my woods none. Ain't no tellin' what that Harriet might do though! Kinda windy so hope she don't build no fire, she might burn my woods down! Whatever. Y'all all have a Merry Christmas. I'd 'preciate any leftovers you could spare. Kinda lonesome out here in them woods with not too much in the pantry.
