Re: who I would be in Mayberry
I really liked Mr. Foley's decision to let Aunt Bea put her side of beef in his freezer because her old freezer on the back porch wasn't working. In fact it was bumping and making groaning noises. Gomer made matters worse after Aunt Bea disregarded Andy's instructions to "call the man!" Gomer's ill placed wrench caused the freezer to lose all it's gay-ss. I could never be that kind, so I would like to be Mr. Foley. Marie Moore Nurse Peggy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mailman in Mayberry
there are 2 more. Andy and Barney meet the mailman at the courthouse door and he won't give the mail to Andy because he isn't a proper agent.. And the mailman is running down the street to Aunt Bees with a special delivery letter telling her she won the trip to Mexico SUSAN WV BIGGEST FAN ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Honest Ken's Used Car Lot
Gotta warn all you unwary consumers out there to avoid Honest Ken's Used Car Lot. I recently purchased a car from him that was totally unacceptable. When I visited his car lot, he had a car I had never heard of, something called a 1987 YUGO. He said he would let me have it real cheap. Hey, I figured if the car was called YOU GO, what else could you want. Well let me tell you what happened. Nothing but trouble. But one day I did double the value of my Yugo, it was when I filled it up with gasoline. You know what the difference is between a Jehovah Witness and Ken's Yugo?You can shut the door on a Jehovah Witness. But just today, I finally got the Yugo to really go.It went the fastest it ever has since I had it. Unfortunately it was when it was hooked up behind the tow truck going back to Ken's Car Lot.

I thought that swaping a car for a dozen eggs was pretty cheap. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mailman
I should clarify that I just thought there should have been a major character that was the mailman, one that was in perhaps dozens of episodes and played by the same character. It could have added a whole different dimension to an already wonderful show. He likely would have been a somewhat of a nosey guy, probably thin and tall kinda like the "I got the pitcher of water" guy. Just a thought. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

My 1951 Goodmobile from Mrs. Lesch
Dang, I went and bought a car from Mrs. Lesch. She didn't have an Oldsmobile but she did have a 1951 Goodmobile that was owned by a retired priest who only drove it to confession and once a week to the casino. Any way I got it home and took it for a drive and let me tell you it was some car. First of all, because it was a Goodmobile it took forever to get it moving and once you did, the hoses leaked, it rattled under the hood, it had dented bumpers and a terrible exhaust. Then I parked it for a while to give it a ten minute rest and it started to rain. I remembered I had locked the doors with the keys in the car and I had to get in to get the top up because of the rain. So that cost me another $50 for a locksmith to come open the doors. And wouldn't you know it. The locksmith's name was Don. This all proves one thing. If you want to buy a good car, you have to go to Honest Ken's. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re:What would you be in Mayberry?
I think I would like to own an upscale men's clothing store.As I recall,Floyd said you had to go to Mt. Pilot to get a decent suit.I do believe I could have guided Gomer to a nicer pair of socks when he went courting. When Floyd played in "The Gay Deceiver",he sported a nice blazer and ascot. He must have ventured out of town...possibly Mt. Pilot.

Mailman in Mayberry
David mentioned that he would like to be the mailman in Mayberry. Actually, there was a mailman in Mayberry. I remember him bringing mail to the courthouse just as Andy and Barney were arriving there. Andy asked for the mail, but the mailman refused to hand the mail to directly to Andy. He said that he couldn't hand Andy the mail because “you’re not an authorized receptacle”. Barney later says, “Put a mailsack on some people and it goes right to their heads!”.

Alumni Sighting
Watching a 1956 episode of Ozzie and Harriet today only to find Hal Smith in the cast. Actually he did 21 shows for Ozzie. Anyway, his character didn't have a name but was credited as "Man with the shoes."

Mayberry Squad Car Nationals
Mayberry in the Midwest is on the calendar for May 17-18th in Danville, IN. I'd like to "crowd source" ideas for the Mayberry Squad Car Nationals, which are being held during the event. The MSCN is a timed competition between squad car owners to drive an obstacle course with a passenger who performs various tasks along the course. "Obstacles" used in the past include busting up a still, hanging a stop sign, mailing a lucky letter and operation pickle swap. A fun obstacle is something - the average fan will recognize from a popular episode, - isn't too easy to do, but doesn't take too long to complete the task and keep the action moving, - is fairly easy and inexpensive to create 8-10 props for an obstacle. So stopping to "buy a fur for Emmett's anniversary gift" wouldn't take long, but most people may not have seen that color episode to understand why that would be done and Mayberry Cafe would not want to buy a fur for a prop. I'd love to see some creative ideas posted on the Digest and try to get some incorporated into this year's MSCN. Lots of events are planned this spring (Mayberry Comes to Westminster, concerts, cast performances), hopefully in your neck of Old Man Kelsey's Woods, so get out and meet other members of our Mayberry community this year. http://tagsrwc.com/the_ebullet/mayberry-event-calendar/ Good times, Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mailman in Mayberry
We do see the mailman in TAGS. He delivered the mail to the courthouse when Andy was getting all the work done by Henry Wheeler. He thought it was strange that Henry had such smooth hands. He noticed it when he shook hands with Henry. The mailman took on a larger role in Mayberry RFD where he was seen a number of times. He was a busy man. He not only worked behind the window in the post office but I thought it was strange that he also delivered the mail to the courthouse and to Emmett Clark and he also delivered the mail to the Sam Jones Farm. I would think there would have been a different carrier for the rural areas. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
sewers and quilters in Mayberry
I went to an Alpaca ranch in the UP of Michigan last year and they had a gift store that sold Alpaca products like clothing and yarn. Every week they had people getting together to knit things from the yarn. Sounds like a place where, if you can harness the energy from knitting and talking, you could light up the whole town. If at first you don't succeed, try and hide your astonishment. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE: Mailman in Mayberry
> The one job I always thought it was odd that you never saw was the mailman. There was the mailman that shook Mr. Wheeler's hand and told Andy it was odd that a handyman had such smooth skin. And then there was Dub Taylor who played a mailman, complaining that Barney had Wanted signs on the bulletin board and he didn't have as many. Andy reminded him that he had something better - quality. And the mail - plenty of episodes included mail - The Christmas Story (Barney, Parney Poo), The package of gifts from the Ubacher Brothers, package of gifts from Newton Monroe, the letter to Aunt Bee from Roger Hanover, Aunt Bee's jury duty summons, I'll stop there.
