Andy and a Basketball
Just watched the episode where Opie was trying to find out what Andy wanted for his birthday. Andy told him a basketball. That was what I always wanted too when I was growing up. I had great aspirations of being a super star in basketball. My mom told me once that even when I was in diapers I would run around dribbling all over the kitchen floor. But my stardom never came to fruition. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Goober Beasley
By the way I noticed that Andy introduces Goober as Goober Beasley to the tv producer for Sheriff without a gun but later on inthe series Goober gets the name Pyle. Curious, curious. David Oberly David, several years ago I had a close friend ask George Lindsey about that, because I had always wondered about it as well. George told her that sometimes Andy liked to use names of his friends on the show, and evidently he was friends with a Beasley family. Besides Goober Beasley, there was Juanita Beasley, Barney's unseen girl at the diner. And one of the suitors Andy sent the way of Miss Ellie to put her on the scent of other game was Charlie Beasley. Maybe there was another reason, but this was Mr. Lindsey's take on it. In the Service of the King, Larry J.

Re: Andy and a Basketball
Just watched the episode where Opie was trying to find out what Andy wanted for his birthday. Andy told him a basketball. I always thought that Andy did that because he knew *Opie* wanted a basketball. Not because Andy actually wanted one? I remember my dad doing things like that or asking for something he needed like socks or something. --Allan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Carnival
In the episode Opie and the Carnival,Opie,Andy,and Goober all take turns shooting the guns with the bent sights,unbeknowest to them.Goober has this quirky little thing he does before shooting the gun...he dabs his thumb against his tongue and then rubs his thumb against the sight.Anyone know why he would do this?Is this a trait known to a certain part of the USA or just something the writers came up with? Dewey in NC Ketchup is excellent for cleaning brass,especially tarnished or corroded brass might even work removing the mold from Asa's bullets. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
