Re: TV Land
Hi Moose, I was just wondering if you and your sister Peggy also had a lot of reflectors on your bikes. Go to a refinishing school? Jen Today while I was watching the Andy Griffith marathon on TV land, they showed a preview of an upcoming show. They said this fall Joan Rivers was going to have a show on TV Land called "How Did You Get So Rich"? Well I don't know about all you other rich folks, but speaking for me and my sister Peggy, our father owns the R&M Grain Elevators in Raleigh. Yep, we were both born with a silver spoon in our hand. Gotta run now, me and BoBo are going to play some tennis. Moose McMillian ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Pets
Kirk, Opie had a dog named Gulliver and a bird named Dickey in the first episode, "The New Housekeeper". You see the bird in that episode but the only mention of Gulliver is when Opie is saying his prayers. H. makes ya wonder where those two pets went and ran off to. Jen I was just thinking the other day why didn't Opie ever have a pet on the show? We know he loves dogs on the episode of Dogs, dogs, dogs and he had taken care of winkin,(or was it lincoln) blinkin', and nod, as well as, his imaginary horse Blackey. I wonder what kind of humorous additive that would have made to the show. Maybe it would have just been a big additional cost when it comes to training, feeding and caring for the pet. Just a curious thought because Goober had a dog on one episode and we all remember Blue and Sigh Hutchin's Jimmy. Any thoughts?

Re: Philosophical Meanderings
Hey Ken, I love your Philosophical Meanderings post!!! When I read that I thought boy that would make a great t-shirt! Can you a picture a shirt saying "Important Things I've Learned from Barney Fife:" and then your list!!!??? Jen I think one of the things we often forget is that not only is Barney Fife a ruthless lawman, a real lady's man, and an all around great guy, but he is also a great philosopher. He often did a lot of philosophical meanderings and I have learned a lot from him. Among the most important things I have learned from Bernard P. Fife are the following: If a bat lays its eggs in your hair you will go crazy. The same thing is true about moths. Once a jail cell door slams shut there are no more carefree days or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Albert Einsteen was a dropout. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Birds talk to each other. Rich girls often go to Paris France to attend refinishing school. Giraffes are much more likely to be struck by lightning than dogs. Kleptormineracs steal because they are rotten. If you bring a bird into the house it means there will be a death in the house. And most important; There are atmospheric rays which control bodily motions. If a person containing a negative or hexin quality gets between you and those rays he creates a static that jars any successful motion to an unsuccessful motion and jinxes you. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE:Is that Otis?
Allan, Thanks for the info on the "Otis" you see on Google Map. Still pretty cool that the Google people had an Otis standing on the street when they came by to do their street view maps. Jen That is a fellow dressed like Otis but he isn't THE Otis tribute artist, Kenneth Junkin, that folks see at Mayberry Days and other events on stage and out and about. The "Otis" you see on Google is a shop owner that runs the store that's just down the street from The Snappy Lunch. --Allan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Just wondering if any of you have had a chance to check out the Google Street View Maps of Mount Airy and if you saw Otis by the Snappy Lunch? Jen I don't know if any of you have seen this but its well worth checking out. Google Map has a street view of Mount Airy... it's almost like being there yourself and walking down the street. All you have to do once you're in Google Maps is: Type in "Mount Airy, NC" in the search Window Click Search Zoom in to the area you want to view Drag and drop the little yellow guy in the top left hand corner onto the street you want to go to.

More Magic in Mayberry
Hey Ken you're right, I didn't think about all those other magic tricks going on. Every time I see Jim Linsey playing that guitar I ask my husband "how does he get those electric guitar sounds out that acoustic guitar???" curious, curious, curious. I must not be too much of a trained noticer, I've never noticed that Floyd's glasses don't have lenses. Can't wait to watch for that one!!! Danna - you may have never noticed Thelma Lou's magic trick before but I'd say you can call yourself a trained noticer seeing that you noticed that band-aid on Opie. That's another one I've never noticed. Those helped me to remember some more: In "The New Housekeeper" Andy picks up that hard-boiled egg that Opie had cooking for 45 minutes. The Taylor house does have those doors and porches that either disappear or move. Jen ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Thelma Lou's Magic Trick
Dan, Hmm, I never thought of that. Thelma Lou bought the Old Remshaw place and used the secret passageways makes sense to me. Jen Thelma Lou's ability to appear back in the living room from the kitchen without ever coming back from the kitchen is easily explainable.

Thelma Lou's magic trick
Please fill us in about the magic trick? We missed the past few newsletters and need to be filled in, OK? Thanks. Have any of you ever seen Thelma Lou's magic trick?

I'm thinking it's just a result of a scene being cut out on TVLand. Anyway, in the episode "Farmer Takes a Wife" when Andy, Barney, and Jeff Pruitt are all over at Thelma Lou's house during the hen party, Thelma Lou does her magic trick. You see Thelma come into the room to drop off a tray of drinks/food, she says hi to Jeff and then she walks back into the kitchen. You never see her walk back in to the living room but poof she magically reappears there the next second or so. My husband just laughed while I made sure he watched. me saying "OK OK, here she comes with the tray. she sets the tray down.now watch...she goes into the kitchen...she doesn't came back in but look there.poof.. she's back in the living room.

Got me to wondering if that show will have anything to do with that bobcat that Andy killed with his bare hands?

Post Away
Hey Hal, Even those of us that have been a member on WBMUTBB for awhile remember what it's like to be the new kid on the block and anxious to share our passion, ideas and whatnot about the show, so don't worry about posting something that have may have been discussed before. It's always nice to get a new perspective on a question or idea. I figure if someone gets sick of seeing a certain question or thought about the show, they can always scroll past it and not read it bothers them that much. If we got upset about someone posting something that has been discussed before, we'd be a bunch of giraffes. By the way, I agree with you about the cutting of lines and/or scenes, it can drive a body crazy can't it?? I have TAGS on DVD but I watch it whenever it is on TV. I even stay up late when TVLand has a bunch of TAGS on starting at 10:00 PM. I complained to a co-worker once about being tired and she asked me why I was tired. I told her I stayed up late watching TAGS. She looked at me like I was crazy and asked "haven't you seen all the episodes?" I said "Well... yeah... and I saw some of the episodes that were on last night the night before" Geezzz some people just don't get it do they? :-) Have a Mayberry Kind of Day!

Paper Ladder
Hi All, Does anyone know how Malcolm Merriweather made that paper ladder out of newspaper for Opie? I have always wondered about that and since I saw that episode the other night it's been prayin' on my mind. Thanks and have a Mayberry kind of day!

Ed Sawyer
I've always wondered where that nice fellow Ed Sawyer (Stranger in Town) took off to when he left Mayberry. Well I finally found out where he has been all this time!!! He's got himself a good job driving a boat to deliver mail to the folks living on Golden Pond! My husband and I were watching "On Golden Pond" over the weekend and when William Lanteau came driving up in a boat my husband said "hey it's the stranger in town" I said "I've been wondering where he ran off too" Have a Mayberry Kind of Day, Jennifer ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry Moment
I wanted to share a Mayberry moment with all of you that gave me a good laugh. My husband and I were out shopping over the weekend and as we left the store, my husband said that the security guard was looking at him. I told him that maybe the security guard liked him, and he then said "Well I am tall, dark and door prize." Have a Mayberry kind of day!

Betty Lynn
Another Betty Lynn story. My story is from Mayberry Days 2003. Betty Lynn and Maggie Peterson Mancuso were both honorary bridesmaids in my husband’s and my wedding that was part of Mayberry Days. Betty Lynn gave us both a hug after the ceremony and she told us how much it meant to her to be part of our wedding. It’s funny, I was so honored and awe stuck to have Betty Lynn in our wedding, someone I have grown up watching on TV and here she is telling me how much it meant to her…. I still can’t get over that. She is a wonderful person!!! I tell you, both Betty and Maggie are the some of the sweetest, most kind hearted people you’ll ever meet. They even signed our marriage licenses as witnesses!!! They sure did make our wedding that much more special and memorable!!!

We will miss you Harvey Bullock!!!
Marsha thank you for the news about Harvey Bullock. I never did get to met him in person, but what a wonderful kind-hearted man he was. I still have an e-mail that he had sent to me about my wedding, that was part of Mayberry Days in 2003. He e-mailed me to tell me he was awaiting approval from his doctor to make the trip to Mount Airy for Mayberry Days and that if he was able to go, he would be pleased to be part of the wedding. Unfortunately, due to his health, he wasn't able to make the trip but that e-mail from him touched me, seems like all the people from TAGS have a heart of gold You will be truly missed Harvey Bullock.

Clint Howard
Mayberry in the movies.. Was watching the movie "Fun with Dick and Jane" and it had a great Mayberry tie to it. Clint Howard is in the movie and plays a border patrol cop. At one point in the movie, Jim Carrey (Dick) is trying to look for work with a group of illegal immigrants and they are all standing around when the border patrol pulls up and starts telling everyone to get out their driver's licenses. The cops are reading off the different fake names that were on the fake licenses and Clint Howard then says, "You guys need to come up with some better names, this one says Opie Taylor!" Got a good laugh out of that and just wanted to share it with the rest of you.

TAGS Sighting
Had a TAGS sighting over the weekend. I was flipping through some of the movie channels and came across the Mel Brook movie, "Life Stinks". I left the movie on for awhile and there was a part where the main character, Mel Brooks meets a bum. The bum caught my attention, there was something about him, something about his eyes and smile that seemed familiar. I said to my husband, "that bum looks a lot like Howard Morris" We watched a little longer and heard him talk a few more times and sure enough, it was our own Earnest T. Bass.!!!
