TWO CHAIRS
Hi gang! Just saw an episode of Petticoat Junction and Uncle Joe was in the Pixley barbershop. The barber was Paul Hartman (Emmit), but the ear catcher was when the phone rang and the barber answered "Pixley Barbershop. Two Chairs No Waiting..."

CHARACTER'S REAL FIRST NAME
Another character that used her real first name was the lady druggist, Ellie, played by Elinor Donahue. Andy called her by both Elinor and the nickname Ellie in various episodes. Mike Peacock ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Roger Hanover
I could have sworn I remember Andy sitting on the bench with Floyd after Bee and Roger came by and he told Floyd "to tell you the truth I can't stand him, he's always telling those stale jokes.."

Jurisdiction
Hi Gang!! Regarding the location of the cabin and Andy and Barneys visit, I think it was far away, out of the county. However the take I always took on that is that Andy was there to VERIFY that he had married Charlene and Dud to Ernest T as Justice of the Peace in Mayberry, not to arrest Ernest for his matrimonial efforts. Andy even brought along a copy of the license to prove it. Up where the Darlings lived they used the circuit preacher to do the marrying deed instead of Andy doing it again. Just a thought!!

Opie's gun in his room
Hi Gang, I've zoomed in on the gun picture in question and I too am convinced it is a water gun. It is in the shape of an automatic ( they all uesed revolvers on TAGS ) and the grip is rather fat. Defintetly looks like a toy, one Opie would have best stayed with and left the slingshot be, lol.

Pickles for the Road
But remember, Barney didn't pass out pickle juice to the motorists. He was actually giving them Kerosene :) Might have helped if they ran out of gas :) Mike Peacock --original post-- Even though I have ever eaten a pickle when I was hot, it would work fine for relief of heat exhaustion.? See its the saline or salt in the pickle that would work.? Instead of salt tablets which has an effect on the body and blood pressure, the salt that the pickles are soaked in would be absorbed in the body quicker and thus relieve the heat exhaustion better than for the tablets to be digested then go throughout the body.? When Barney was handing out the jars of pickle, it seemed like it might have been summertime, so back then when air conditioners in cars were scarce, Barney helped relieve the heat.? Especially that one guy from Portland, Oregon who had to drive all the way back across the Rockies. :) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
MAPLE STREET QUESTION
Howdy, I could have swore that I answered this question the day it came out, in fact I think it appeared right after it was asked on Monday's digest. It must have been invisible to some, lol.

Sarah the Operator
Someone asked about Sarah and how much they pay her. I doubt it's very much since she gets all those fringe benefits like free medical advice from Andy, free phone calls around the world, entertainment from listening in to other people's conversations, get the idea. Plus she has all the time in the world to take a pinch of snuff now and then. I'd say when it comes to telephone operators, that lady "has connections"..

SONG QUESTION
Hi Gang - The song is called "One for my Baby" and goes like this. One For My Baby It's a quarter to three, There's no one in the place except you and me, So, set 'em up Joe, I've got a little story you ought'a know, We're drinking my friend, To the end of a brief episode, Make it one for my baby and one more for the road. I got the routine, So put another nickel in the machine, I'm feelin so bad, I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad, Could tell you a lot But you've got to be true to your code, Make it one for your baby and one more for the road. You'd never know it, But buddy, I'm kind of poet And I've gotta lotta things to say. And when I'm gloomy, You simply gotta listen to me, Until it's talked away. Well, that's how it goes And Joe, I know you're anxious to close, So thanks for the cheer, I hope you don't my bending your ear, The torch that I've found, Must be drowned or it soon might explode, Make it one for my baby And one more for the road. Credit the Johnny Mercer website for the lyrics. Have a great Holiday Season!!!

50 Great TV Icons.
Hi Gang, Not sure where Andy is on the list of 50, but apparently not in the top ten. I got this from one of my news sources... Undated) -- Legendary late-night TV host Johnny Carson tops "Entertainment Weekly's" list of the "50 Great TV Icons." He hosted NBC's "The Tonight Show" from 1962 to 1992. Carson is followed on the list by "I Love Lucy" star Lucille Ball, talk show host Oprah Winfrey, comedian-actor Bill Cosby and TV news legend Walter Cronkite. Carole Burnett, Mary Tyler Moore, Jerry Seinfeld, Homer Simpson of the long-running show "The Simpsons" and Dick Clark round out the top ten. The TV Land channel and "Entertainment Weekly" will present a two-hour special, "The 50 Greatest TV Icons," this Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
What Does This Mean?????????????????
I got this message three times. All I can say is "OH LAND" Mike This is from the episode MIND OVER MATTER, where Goober thinks his back is hurt. When Opie and Aunt Bee are trying to help him into her car to take him to their house, he keeps saying what sounds like, "OH LAND, OH LAND!" So I put the tv on closed captioning and sure enough it had him saying that. What does that mean? I have heard people say LAND A GOSHEN or MY LANDS to express excitement, but OH LAND Any ideas? He says it right when Aunt Bee is trying to get him into her car. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TOWN DRUNK
If Hal Smith was not cast for the role of Otis, my vote would have been for Edgar Buchannon, popular character actor of the time, and of course the goldbrick "Handyman" in one episode of TAGSThey could have found anyone to fill that one episode's character, or better yet, brought back "Mr. Dave" Buddy Ebson for a return appearance.

HECK its Malcolms Town in England
Hi Gang, FOUND IT After some searching and goodl ole Google Earth, the town is actually spelled Heckmondwike and NOT with an E as in Eckmond Look it up, it's in the northern part of England, northeast of Liverpool. You learn something new everyday, right? Listen to Malcom say it. Now that you know the real spelling you can hear it differently. Of course the "H" could be silent, like the "P" in swimming.

Self Promotion
Hi Gang... Welcome to all the new members. We have a nice quiet community devoted solely to TAGS and TAGS related discussion, and we look forward to everyone's input. The bulletin board however is NOT a place for self promotion which was done yesterday in a post about "telecommuting". The web is full of such schemes.

License Plates
Hi Gang -- I think I know exactly how Goober knew the lady lawyer's car was from Raleigh after looking at her license plate. IT WAS IN HIS SCRIPT, LOL. :)) Sorry, I just couldn't refuse that one. Actually I find it interesting about the reverse shots and other production tricks, but I rarely look for them, When TAGS comes on I just sit back and enter Mayberry the way it was meant to be and enjoy the characters and stories. Dennis had some nice comments about the Indy 500 broadcast. Being in broadcasting and a part of that network for a long time I have had the pleasure of working with most of that crew and being around them at various functions. I agree, compared to many of today's events, the Indy broadcast is one of the most professional you will find. It gets even better when Gomer steps up to the microphone. Have a great day!!!!

Someone wrote yesterday that "I seem to recall years ago in Dallas that by law you had to enter a vehicle on the side nearest the sidewalk." I'm sure glad we don't have that law now.

QUOTES GALORE
Hi Gang, Well the quote thread is a fun one for sure. A few of my fav's from key characters Barney in Pickle Story -- the line about kerosene cucumbers. Something like "I don't know how I can face the future, knowing there's 12 quarts of these kerosene cucumbers in it. Andy my hearts just not in it.." Andy replies "It's not your heart we need, just your stomach.." Andy, especially in earlier episodes would often say "that's an OUTSTANDING idea" And one of my very favorites is when they are holding the rummage sale for the scolby house fund. Rafe hollister is holding a gadget and pumping its handle, buys it and asks Andy what it is. Andy doesn't know and ole Rafe says "I don't know either but I always wanted one..."

A few weeks ago I posted about the older gas stations like Wally's and a link to a site full of pics that brought back memories hopefully to a few. No one commented so I assumed there was no interest, but even so, actions speak louder than words, RIGHT?
