The other night on TAGS Sam Muggins and family appeared as the Skobeys. Maybe they joined the Witness Protection Program after turning in some moonshiners? Well I have seen old Sam Muggins on Dragnet and Adam12 and let's just say the Christmas he almost spent in jail did nothing to rehabilitate the man. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Reunion Follow Up
I spent my Sunday afternoon reflecting upon my class reunion on Saturday. Those of us there talked a lot about where we came from. We all grew up in the small town of under 1000 people and with the exception of one or two classmates we all came from very modest families with one parent working and we all lived in very simple older homes with very few luxuries. So I decided it would be fun to use the marvels of the inter net and take a look at the kinds of homes my classmates now live in. So through the help of Google Earth I took a tour of all their homes which took me all over this great country of ours. I was just amazed and really taken aback at how most of my classmates are now living. With the except of a few, most are living in very nice large homes in very nice neighborhoods. Some were living in homes valued at over a half million dollars. One classmate living in one of these luxurious homes in Arizona never lived in anything except a rental apartment while we were growing up. How far we have all come in my generation. I sometimes think I focus too much on TAGS and the simplistic life that we see in our beloved Mayberry. But when I see the affluence that is found among all my former humble friends of my youth, I am so thankful that I can return to Mayberry whenever I want so I can relive some of those very special times that will be forever so important to me. -- 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/

Well my friends, I managed to survive a very emotionally packed night at my 50 year high school reunion. So much fun reliving old times with old friends whom I have known since I was 6 years old. A few tears were even shed by this overemotional guy. We were a class of 81 and we have lost only 6 thus far, so we have indeed been very blessed in that regard. The group just loved my "Special Reunion Mayberry Presentation " I did. I received a standing ovation and so many wonderful comments following. Some of the people there had not watched a TAGS episode since it was on TV back in its hay day. They especially enjoyed the clip of Barney and Ramona's reunion and that beautiful quote "The tears on my pillow bespeak the pain in my heart". We had kept my presentation a secret and the looks I received when I arrived in full uniform and gun belt was precious. But word soon spread that I was not a real policeman and that was when the fun began. Time for me to purchase a new laptop. I was unable to load any of my videos and music clips at first and I was just sick as it would have ruined the entire evening. However, I was able to get off by myself and do some work and was finally able to get things going. Good thing I tested everything out when I got there and before I was to begin. Sometimes those electronal marvels can be a real pain in the patoot. I noticed the cord they provided had thin wires so I suspect that was the problem. So Ken, did you have to at least hold your laptop up to the microphone for folks to be able to hear it? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Bible names trivia
Nice job coming up with characters from the Bible who were mentioned on TAGS. I wasn't thinking of "devil" because that's not exactly a name, and besides "devil" is not quite the same as "THE devil." Aunt Bee also calls Barney a devil after he deliberately spilled a drawer from the courthouse filing cabinet. Speaking of that drawer, what sort of stupid filing system do they use anyway? Why is J through Z all in one drawer of a four-drawer cabinet, and the TOP drawer at that? But I digress. Back to the topic, I also thought of the Holy Spirit but that is not exactly a name either. The congregation sings the hymn "Holy Spirit, Light Divine" (also known as Holy Ghost with Light Divine) in Sermon for today. Anyway, there are still two more Old Testament characters I'm thinking of that haven't been named yet. Hints: both are spoken by Andy — one while reading aloud from a piece of paper, and the other while participating in an outdoor sport. And BTW Ken, it was Paul Revere who was said to be "as poor as Job's turkey." Has anybody ever heard that peculiar expression used outside of this episode? (Andy Discovers America, the first appearance of Miss Crump). Paul Mulik ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
