Mayberry Smells
> distinct odors one would smell if visiting Mayberry. (I sent this on Monday but didn't see it show up on the Digest. Hope it doesn't show up twice now.) Jennifer Morrison loves the smell of Witch Hazel, especially when Andy wears it walking right out from the barber shop. Since my father was a well known moonshiner in my home town I know first hand what that smells like. When Andy lets Barney go POW-POW-POW to the Morrison sister's moonshine still, what spews out does not smell like moonshine. It's a disgusting, reeking odorous, nose pinching for sure major ick-factor stinko as it has not fermented long enough yet and hasn't dripped down that little copper tube into a bucket. Opie was absolutely correct - but he was being quite polite by saying it smells funny. Barney's illegal chili must certainly smell funny, steaming away upstairs. Emma Brand/Watson has some nice smelling pies cooling in her windows, it draws criminals and the law. Opie's wood burner piques Andy's sniffer, twice, in the court house and in the Taylor house. Barney and Gomer sit back, relax and enjoy the smell that pheasant makes roasting in the woods. The hobo with the bum leg enjoys smelling what Robin Hood and his Merry Man bring him for dinner so much so that he can't finish saying the blessing before digging in. Aunt Bee's kerosene cucumbers must kill one's senses, everyone that is except Aunt Bee. We see it in the scrunched up noses of anyone who comes in contact with one. Aunt Bee's Prize Winning Rose must have a pleasant fragrant aura about them. And who could forget the sweet smell of a manicurist? It's a pleasure just to breathe around her.

Smells
I'd guess my favourite smell would be of Emma Watson's pies cooling in her windowsill in one of the firts episodes. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Or the pleasant whiff of Aunt Bee's and Ms. Edwardses roses in one of the last episodes. I'd ask for one to put in a jar of water on my kitchen table. The pungent aroma of a little boy named Opie Taylor who'd played outside all day with Johnny Paul, Trey, and his friends. If you raised a boy you know what I mean. The malodorous reek of Moonshine, aka white lightening, on Otis would be hard to miss on a Saturday night. The aroma of witch hazel coming thru the door of Floyd's Barber Shop The smell of raw fish coming from Andy, Opie, and Barney at the end of the opening day of fishing at Myers Lake. The gamy stench of possum, raccoon, dirt, and woods from an unwashed Ernest T Bass But there was a smell all through the town that lasted all 8 years of TAGS. The sweet smell of freedom. Where Emma Watson was free to go jaywalking, Opie could run all over town and into Kelsey's woods playing and nothing bad ever happened and Flip Conroy, a Black man could be treated as a man period and not a Black man. Freedom for Aunt Bee, Thelma Lou, and the ladies of Mayberry to walk to town un accosted as they did their shopping at Foley's or Mrs. Luken's, Walker's Drugstore, etc. A town where the sheriff was free to walk around without a gun. Now these are aromas you wouldn't smell today. At least not pleasant ones. Sent from my iPad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Help with fan club
Help with fan club. How about an Indian gift exchange? Each person buys a gift, wraps t it, and they are all put together on a table. Then, consecutive numbers are put in a hat, one for each person. Everyone picks a number. Number one goes first and picks any gift. They then open it to let everyone see what they have. Then number two goes next. They pick a gift, OR, they can take away the gift from number one. If the gift is taken, then number one gets to choose another gift and opens it. Number three goes next, Three can take either opened gift, or get a wrapped one. This goes on like this until all gifts are opened. Any gift can only be taken three times. At any time, if you get a gift taken from you, you can take anyone elses opened gift as well, or chose to open another.

Alumni Sighting
Saw Warren Parker, our Mr. Meldrin, on Wyatt Earp. Actually, he wasn't an alumni at this point since the role preceded his appearance on TAGS. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
