Fwd: A Dreamer and his Dream
A treat to my fellow Mayberrians. R. Davis Sent from my iPad Begin forwarded message: Subject: A Dreamer and his Dream A DREAMER AND HIS DREAM Let me tell you, Jesse hated this job. And you would too, I imagine, if you had to do it. Jesse was a chicken plucker. That's right. He stood on a line in a chicken factory and spent his days Pulling the feathers off dead chickens so the rest of us wouldn't have to. It wasn't much of a job. But at the time, Jesse didn't think he was much of a person. His father was a brute of a man. His dad was actually thought to be mentally ill And treated Jesse rough all of his life. Jesse's older brother wasn't much better. He was always picking on Jesse and beating him up. Yes, Jesse grew up in a very rough home in West Virginia. Life was anything but easy. And he thought life didn't hold much hope for him. That's why he was standing in this chicken line, doing a job that darn few people wanted. In addition to all the rough treatment at home, it seems That Jesse was always sick. Sometimes it was real Physical illness, but way too often it was all in his head. He was a small child, skinny and meek. That sure didn't help the situation any. When he started to school, he was the object of every Bully on the playground. He was a hypochondriac of the first order. For Jesse, tomorrow was not always something to be looked forward to. But, he had dreams. He wanted to be a ventriloquist. He found books on ventriloquism. He practiced with Sock puppets and saved his hard earned dollars until He could get a real ventriloquist dummy. When he got old enough, he joined the military. And even though many of his hypochondriac symptoms persisted, the military did recognize his talents and Put him in the entertainment corps. That was when his world changed. He gained confidence. He found that he had a talent for making people laugh, and laugh so hard they often had tears in their eyes. Yes, little Jesse had found himself. You know, folks, the history books are full of people who overcame a handicap to go on and make a success of themselves, but Jesse is one of the few I know of who didn't overcome it. Instead he used his paranoia to make a million dollars, and become one of the best-loved characters of all time in doing it! Yes, that little paranoid hypochondriac, who transferred his nervousness into a successful career, still holds the record for the most Emmy's given in a single category. The wonderful, gifted, talented, and nervous comedian who brought us Barney Fife Was Jesse Don Knotts. NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY There is a street named for him and his statue in Morgantown, West Virginia, his place of birth. Andy Griffith wouldn't have been the same without him. For both of them, now, R.I.P. AND BRING ON THE RE-RUNS! L Live simply, love generously, care deeply, Speak kindly and trust in our GOD who loves us.

Sunday Dinner
So many to choose from it's hard to decide, I guess I'd have to ask Miss Peggy over for dinner. I'd have Aunt Bea fix pot roast with those lil onions that twang my buds, along with fresh green beans from Foley's and mashed potatoes with gravy. I'd wash that down with some ice cold sweet tea and for dessert a triple layered chocolate cake. I'd even go so far as to decorate the table with fresh cut roses from Aunt Bea's rose bushes. Bon Apetite. Randy Ange Davis Sent from my iPad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Foley's Market
I believe the camera was in Foley's when was trying to get a job delivering groceries, only to give the job to Billy because he had to help pay the family bills. Randy Davis Sent from my iPad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Episode with the fewest characters
I believe the episode with the fewest characters was The County Nurse. There was Andy, Barney, Mary the county nurse and Rafe Hollister. That would be 4 total. Randy Rafe Hollister Davis Sent from my iPad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Who would you date in Mayberry
A tough question to answer. I borrowed Gomer's bucket to give it a think and here's what I came up with. I think I would have asked Miss Peggy out. I would take her on a picnic to Myer's lake.There we could paddle around in a canoe or row boat and relax. We'd have to find a remote spot of course to keep Barney from inter loping with us. Afterwards we would take a quiet walk in town and maybe get a cup of coffee at the diner. From there I'd walk Peggy home and serenade her with a few songs while I played the guitar. Maybe if I was lucky we'd hold hands and if I was really lucky I'd get a kiss on the cheek before leaving to go home.

Mayberry Calendar Girls
Please don't forget a few of Andy's past girl friends. Ms. Peggy comes to mind, not to mention the Fun Girls from Mount Pilot.

To spank or not to spank
Val, I am a dedicated TAGS member and have even discussed this episode with my 2 kids (b-15, g-11). I will, at this time, only spank them if they tell a lie. Otherwise, I take favorites or privileges away when they misbehave. This has worked really well with my 2 children. Keep in mind, before I spank them I allow myself a cooling off period (10-30 minutes) before I dish out the punishment. This way I don't spank them in anger. It's interesting to note that my son and a few of his buddies have watched this episode and they all commented that there parents would have done the same thing. That's my take on this. Have a Mayberry Day. Randy Rafe Hollister Davis 1. Sensitive Topic: To Spank or Not To Spank? ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Hi Fellow Mayberrians! Tonight I was watching an episode where Opie's new friend was so used to having his way, and as a result, he usually got what he wanted from his old man. He then taught Opie what to say and how to act up in order to get his way. But, of course, Andy didn't fall for it. By now you know the episode, right? The little boy disobeys the law by riding his bike on the sidewalk even after Barney told him not to do it again. after he disobeyed again, Both Barney and Andy decide to take the bike away from the kid. Later in the show, the little boy's father shows up to get the bike back from Andy. To the little boy's surprise, the father decides to take Andy's advice and take the little boy out to the woodshed and give him a spanking. How do you feel about this? Of course, I do understand that most of us really love the TAGS so much, but in today's society we may not always agree with certain things they did back then. I am a newbe here at TAGSRC, so if this has been discussed before or if you are too sensitive about this, please do not respond. Not looking for a debate, just a simple opinion.

Citizens Arrest !!!
Good Day my fellow Mayberrians. I was watching Ange and the boys the other night and saw Andy himself step out of the office with Barney smoking a cigarette. A cigarette that he took one final drag and then threw it on the ground and stamped it out. That's littering in my book. There's laws against littering. Citizens Arrest, Citizens Arrest!!! Question: Which episode am I referring?

Father's Day Gift
Greetings my fellow Mayberrians, I introduced my son daughter to TAGS several years ago. We sit and watch the DVD's all of the time. They gave me season 2 for Fathers Day. Now I have Seasons 1 - 5. I'll be getting season 6 for my birthday. It's also interesting to note that when my teenage son has friends over that they always tend to migrate towards the great room and watch TAGS. It's so refreshing to him them laugh at Barney antics. I usually hear the comment about how they wish there were shows like that on TV now and how the lessons of the show apply to their life now. Good kids? Yes indeed. Randy Rafe Hollister Davis ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
A discrepancy in dates
I was watching the episode last night Barney's First Car When Ange, Barney were discussing the price, Ange made the comment that Ms. Leashes 1958 Ford sedan was over 10 years old. If so, that would put the current year as 1968, and this episode aired during the 3rd year. Did I hear that exchange correctly?

Dogs, Dogs, nothing but dogs.
Andy: Hey Barn, are you going to dance? Barney: Noo, There all dogs Andy: Oh Barney Barney: Andy, If you flew a quail thru here they'd all stop and point. An observation I've noticed, At the start of each episode when Andy and Opie are walking and Opie throws a rock into the water, have you noticed a few episodes you actually see the rock hit the water and splash an others you don't.
