Mayberry sighting
I was watching Gunsmoke on TV Land today, and I came across an episode with a group of nuns who were traveling from Dodge City to the Black Hills of Dakota Territory. I noticed that one of the nuns (a nun with a bit of "spunk"she was a little bit head-strong and sure of herself, she even won an argument with Festus!) was the one and only Aneta Corsaut (our own Helen Crump)!! If that don't beat all!!! You just never know where some of our TAGS alumni will show up!

Front Porch
I live in a new neighborhood, and every house (90+) has a front porch! It is a breath of fresh air to see people sitting out on their front porches in a NEW neighborhood...kind of like taking a step back in time!! Ours is solid cement...so it can't even get spidery underneath or anything!

sounds like someone wants to be the new sheriff in town!
I found this item in our local newspaper today, from our neighboring state of WisconsinI thought y'all might appreciate it! Signed, Greg - one of Minnesota's biggest TAGS fans! Sheriff candidate in Wisconsin changes his name to Andy Griffith Associated Press PLATTEVILLE, Wis. - A local music store co-owner is putting a touch of Mayberry in the race for sheriff in western Wisconsin's Grant County. The former William Fenrick changed his name earlier this year to Andy Griffith - the name of the actor who portrayed the fictional Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry on TV's "The Andy Griffith Show" in the 1960s. He said his goal was to focus attention to a sheriff's race that otherwise gets little. "Nobody knows who's running or what the issues are, if there are any issues or how the people differ," Griffith said. He's running as an independent in the Nov. 7 election against incumbent Sheriff Keith Govier, a Republican who's held the job for 10 years, and Democrat Doug Vesperman, who's worked in the sheriff's department 16 years. Griffith, 42, said when contacted Tuesday night that he's worked in the past in private security and knows how to set priorities and make the best use of a limited budget and manpower. Part of his motivation, he said, came when drug officers acting on an anonymous tip launched a drug raid in Dodgeville last May but went to the wrong address, then picked up some young people in the apartment next door for having marijuana. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
easy technique for reply'n
Allan is right (and bless your heart, Allan, for all the work you do!). In fact, instead of using "reply" and risking all of that trouble, all you need to do is "copy and paste" the portion of the message you are referring to into the body of a new email, type your reply above it, and send it off to the entire WBMUTBB group (at WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com)! Thanks, Greg (one of Minnesota's biggest TAGS fans) Some email clients quote the ENTIRE Digest to which you "Reply" and as a result your message will cause a brand new issue of the Digest to be created which contains a copy of the one you replied to. Please turn off the automatic quoting feature of your email tool so this does not occur in the future. I try to catch these but I've been messin' up lately with my "approving" of messages. I let through a "junk" e-mail a few days back and now I messed up on the "quoted" Digests. That was my fault...not AuntBee1's but in the future if all of y'all would try and make sure you don't quote entire issues of the Digest, it'll make my job a little easier.

I'm so glad you brought that up, Randy. Whenever I watch an episode of TAGS today, I watch for that splash. I seem to recall seeing the rock hit the water and splashing when I watched the show originally (when I was a young'n) but I don't see the splash too often if at all today.

RE: Sam Jones would be proud!
Hey everyone! As a long time fan of TAGS (and a long-time reader of WBMUTBB), I wanted to share a quick note of good news with my friends in Mayberry! This summer, I decided to run for a seat on the city council in my town - Chaska, MN. Chaska calls itself "the best small town in Minnesota" and it shares many qualities with the Mayberry of our memories, not the least of which is a large city park in the middle of our historic downtown - where townsfolk enjoy free concerts each and every Friday night in the summer. The bands usually play in or near the large gazebo in the center of the park, depending on the weather, and the size of the band (it could be "spidery" under there...I've never looked for sure) while the church across the street from the park offers root beer floats...it is a wonderful and quaint small-town experience that people travel for miles to enjoy with their children! Anyway, the good news is this: I WON!! I will begin serving my community in January of 2009, and I am very excited!! I just had to tell someone, as I am nearly ready to burst with pride!! Take care, and God Bless! Greg Boe (Minnesota's biggest TAGS fan, and, soon-to-be the voice of the common man!!)

Mrs. Leasch (Hubcaps Leasch)
Emmett, I've been cipherin' some on that problem you mentioned, and I believe the solution is this: you are assuming that Ms. Leasch was driving 25 mph which would have her traveling 75 mphbut as Neil Bentley would point out (hanging his hat on the details like those big city attorneys do), she merely stated that she never drives OVER 25 mph.but in fact she may have been driving well UNDER 25 mph.in fact, driving 4.67 mph, and allowing for a 10 minute stop every 30 minutes, would have a body traveling those 14 miles in about 4 hours.

Ms. Leasch said it took her 4 hours from Mount Pilot, because she doesn't drive over 25 mph, and gives the machine a 10 minute rest every 30 minutes.Now, according to my machines here at the shop, and I'm sure they're not as good as the ones at the bank, but according to my calculations, that would make it 75 miles from Mt. Pilot to Mayberry. I thought it was only 14 miles? Anyone got any thoughts on that?

Jack Burns
I found an interesting look at Warren Ferguson at http://www.henrybwalthall.com/JackBurnsWarrenFergusonRevenge.html (did you know that Jack got his start in show-biz working at a radio station in Fort Worth...where he began doing on-air comedy routines with fellow DJ George Carlin ? According to a Jack Burns biography (http://www.henrybwalthall.com/JackBurnsBiographyPartOne.html), Andy briefly explained the hiring of Burns in Richard Kelly's 1980 book The Andy Griffith Show: "We went to San Francisco and met this very funny stand-up comedian. We thought his performance was fine and decided to make him Floyd's nephew on the show. So we put him on--and we said we were not replacing Don [Knotts]--but we were replacing Don and we were giving him Don Knotts material--and it didn't work." You beat everything, you know that!??

Goober's suit
Hey Ted, I seem to recall that Goober's friend was very impressed with the suit Goober was wearing when they first saw each otherand he said something about "you must be doing well" as he checkout the material. I figure that all happened because Andy's extra suit was nicer than the one Goober was wearing...and it set Goober's desire to 'brag himself up' into motion If Goober hadn't torn his own suit, none of that would have happened. - Greg (Minnesota's biggest TAGS fan!) What was the point of having Goober rip his suit when he put the suitcase on the shelf for Aunt Bee?

40 acres, Christmas, etc
I also love the 40 acres website. David had a good point...it is sad to see with our own baby blues that "Mayberry" was just a Hollywood set. But, I think the saddest thing of all is reading about how "they" bulldozed good old 40 acres! I would have loved to wander through the place...what a trip back through time that would have been. It could have been a big attraction (for folks like us).really BIG!! By the way, warm Holiday greetings to all of my TAGS friends.

In a recent posting, David said: On a completely different subject, I agree that the pictures of 40 acres are beautiful and I have looked at all of them. However, looking at the facades of Mayberry kinda makes me sad because it reminds me that Mayberry is not a real place.

Re: Hometowns
I am a bit melancholy as of late, because I recently helped my parents thin their belongings and sell the house that my dad built (and the house where I grew up). It was in a great small town in South Dakota, called Wolsey, which I have often referred to as "Mayberry of the North" due to its quaintness and Mayberryesque characters and characteristics. Now that my parents have moved to a larger town to be nearer to medical facilities and the watchful eye of my sister, I will likely have few reasons to visit my hometown any more. That saddens me...and yet I can't help but feel that I am a better person today because of that small-town upbringing. I guess it is true what they say...you can take the boy out of the small town, but you can't take the small town out of the boy (was it Calvin Coolidge who said that?).

Stamp
Perhaps the best approach to take with the USPS might be to seek a stamp showing "Andy Taylor" for now, rather than Andy Griffith...since Mr. Griffith is still alive and well (thank God).

First Job
My first job was during the summer, when I was just going into high school (although, we owned a farm outside of town, so technically I was working ever since I could walk...). Anyway, my first "paying" job was helping a local carpenter build houses during the summer. It was hard work, and very hot on most days. But, I must admit, I did learn a lot of "carpentry tips" that I still use to this day. However, I got smarter as I grew older. The following summer, I got a job as a lifeguard at the town swimming pool. This was heaven on earth for a young man. No more sweating as a carpenterinstead, someone was going to pay me to sit in the lifeguards chair all day and watch pretty girls as they were swimming!

Mayberry small town
I grew up in a small town in South Dakota (Wolsey), that I have always thought of as a "Mayberry of the North." The sign at the edge of town says "Welcome to Wolsey, Population 450 friendly people" and every once in a while, someone would paint "and one crab" at the bottom of the sign! I now live in another Mayberry-like town, (Chaska, MN), which has a population of 22,000 (a bit larger, yes, but still very "small" in character). We have free band concerts in the city square park each Friday during the summer (no spiders under the gazebo, that I am aware of). Our city motto is "the best small town in Minnesota" and it does have that nice small town feel.

Back in the day, drug stores in my small town in South Dakota were open on Sunday, with their doors opening shortly after noon. I remember my family stopping by for some popcorn (or fresh-roasted pistachios) on occasion, as we made our way home from church dressed in our Sunday best! *** ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Malfeasance?
Howdy Dan, Now, I can overlook malfeasance, or wrongful conduct, which would likely cover the 75 instances of telling a bad joke (after all, who am I to point fingers.speaking of which, did you hear the one about the man who pointed his finger...no.wait.on second thought, never mind). However, telling a good joke and messing it up is a serious offense in my book, which could be considered to be misfeasance (doing a proper act, but in a wrongful or injurious fashion). In an effort to nip this kind of egregious behavior in the bud, we might want to consider some serious punishment..perhaps cleaning the erasers for Ms. Crump after school, washing the squad car every week for a month, or perhaps volunteering as a crossing guard after school for 90 days (a Mayberry version of "Sentenced to Service" community service). What do you think? Greg B. City Council Mayberry of the North ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Thelma Lou
I was watching an old episode of My Three Sons on ME TV as I ate breakfast this morning, and I noticed that Steve Douglas's perky secretary looked awfully familiar in an office scene at his job. Upon closer examination I realized it was Betty Lynn playing the part! I can't recall seeing her on that show on any kind of a regular basis, so it must have been a single appearance. -Greg, from Mayberry of the North ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Chicken trick
What a great idea, Ken. And when you are done eating, you'll have a cloth handy to wipe your fingers and mouth!! I loved the video! And, being from Minnesota, your northern accent didn't confuse me at all! -Greg, City Council, Mayberry of the North ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Barney's Replacement
I am not sure if this has been discussed before (it could have been, when I was fishing at Meyer's Lake..or just not paying attention), but I was watching "Barney's Replacement" today, and noticed for the first time what happens when Barney writes a ticket for the departing deputy (Rogers) for parking in the police parking spot in front of the courthouse. After lecturing him for a moment, Barney smiles, and says he was just kidding him to teach him a lesson. He then proceeds to take the ticket back and tear it up, wishes him well, and throws the pieces of the ticket on the ground. After Rogers drove away, Barney walks off to patrol the streets of Mayberry, and Andy smiles as he watches him walk away. As I watched the end of the show, I fully expected Andy to write Barney a ticket for littering. After all, litter brings slums, and slums bring crime.. -Greg, City Council Mayberry of the North ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
ticket
Hey Bob, Yes, I had the same thought at first.that the departing deputy would write a ticket for Barney (since he was in "civilian clothing" I even thought we might hear him say "Citizen's Arrest" or something like that). Then after he drove away, I figured Andy might say something like "Say Barn...here's a little reminder for you." By the way, thanks for the compliment, Bob. It's all those trained noticers I've been hanging around these last several years that have helped me to develop that "sharp eye." -Greg B, City Council, Mayberry of the North ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
pet names
Our little dog was named "Nip-it".which was appropriate for a known ankle-biter such as he was. Thought y'all might appreciate the obvious connection to our favorite show. -Greg, City Council, Mayberry of the North ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Hawaii Five-0
Clara (Hope Summers) was on Hawaii Five-0 the other day. She played a real spit-fire, who was telling the bomb-wearing and gun-holding hostage-taker in a stern voice that he should put the gun down and listen to the police! She was likely waiting for old Barn to burst in the back door with his one bullet locked and loaded!

What's your most-used TAGS quote or phrase?
Other than the obvious "Nip it. Nip it in the bud", my most used TAGS quote is likely "my mid-afternoon sinking spell".which I use when I hit the wall and begin to slow down long around 3:00 p.m. or so! -Greg (one of the biggest TAGS fans north of the Mason-Dixon Line) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Celebrate the holiday
I stopped by the Morrison Sisters flower shop this afternoon, on account as it was Groundhog Day and everything. Everything seems fine and dandy now! -Greg (Minnesota's biggest TAGS fan) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
My Hometown
I grew up in a small town in the south..South Dakota, that is. With a noon whistle, 6 p.m. whistle, and 10 p.m. whistle. None of the children wore a watch..didn't have to (didn't carry a cell phone either). The playground next to the school was a place for everyone to play. No fences, no lawsuit reducing padding under foot, and fun (but, perhaps ,dangerous) equipment to play on, etc! Everyone's mom stayed home during the day, while dad went off to work. Fresh cookies were baking somewhere around town, any time of day. It was a wonderful place to grow up. Aaah, those were the days! -Greg, a fan from Mayberry of the north ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Kartoon King
I am sitting back, recuperating from surgery.which means watching a lot of TV. Today I enjoyed "The Winner' (Season 2, Episode 21 of the Brady Bunch). The guest star our very own Hal Smith, who played the zany Kartoon King.who hosted a ice cream eating contest that Bobby Brady entered in the hopes of winning a trophy of his own. Otis is doing very well for himself now-a-days! -Greg (Mayberry of the north). ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
