Ice Cream

Easy on us there, Orville! "The Simpsons" may not be your cup of tea (and that's okay, I fully understand if what you mentioned offends you), but television's longest running comedy series does have a lot of fans on this list (myself included). And Barney Fife himself popped up on the show a couple of times, in one instance even talking through the TV to Chief Wiggum. Ron Howard also popped up in two other episodes, both times voicing an animated version of himself. For the record, the Simpsons do live in Springfield, and the family dynamic does match, but any true Simpsons fan knows they live on Evergreen Terrace, not Maple Street. Dixon * Dixon. Thank you for chiming up with such candor and supporting information. Orville. Thank you for contributing your view as well. I understand now that you are not a huge fan of one of my favorite shows. I respect your viewpoint. Our Mayberry society here is a collection of many numerous opinions and some lively, legitimate debate is always enjoyable and inspires the day. There is a reason they make more flavors of ice cream than just vanilla. I restrain myself from ranting regarding my abject distaste arising from the injection of bible passages and heavy religious overtones that regularly appear in the Digest; I fairly doubt that any of those viewpoints were considered when TAGS was written and I do not adhere to those religious beliefs. I have loved TAGS for 50 years for None of those reasons, and I do prefer my TAGS without consideration of any religious connotations. Yet, as a contributing Mayberry citizen in general good standing, I must respect that for some inexplicable reason, some people actually... can you even believe it... prefer butter pecan ice cream over the chocolate ice cream that I adore. We both enjoy the ice cream, we just prefer a different flavor.. Double scoop cones on me!! Everyone in the truck...

Single Lady - Mayberry Mashup
I assume I am not the first to have found this very clever music video - a "mash up" the kids call it these days. Fun to see.

Re: Donuts all around

I will also happily pay Victor a donut for throwing in his two cents worth in my "defense" as it were.??In fact, why doesn't everyone in our Mayberry community grab a donut?- treat yourself better today!

Get the" H-E-Double Hockey Sticks" Out of Here
I am willing to be a dollar to a donut that on television in the early 1960s - no way they used the "H" word.

Mayberry Legalese
Message: 3 Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 15:06:25 -0400 From: bcunnin...@aol.com Subject: TAGS Moments To: wbmu...@tagsrwc.com Message-ID: <8cba082b6e4d35d-9d8-...@webmail-md10.sysops.aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Another true story: I am reading a report from a defense lawyer who has a complaint against our police department. He actually used a catch line from the episode where Otis sues the County. He was making an accusation against the county and said "This is obviously gross negligence on the part of the Sheriff's Department." I laughed out loud when I read it. But, I couldn't help but think "Hey- I'm Neil Bentley - that is supposed to be my line!!!" Brad "Neil Bentley" Cunningham "My card, in case you ever need my services" Brad/Neil -? I saw your post and had to comment.? I am a civil attorney, and I make it standard practice and procedure?to incorporate at least one Mayberry reference in every Motion, Opposition or Reply Brief that I file.? I don't go out of my way to emphasize them,?I do it for my own grins and giggles.? Those of us that are true Mayberrites know there are an abundance of quips, quotes and observations just begging to be used in legal argument.? "Nip it in the bud" is so obviously easy to use.?(and Great for motion practice associated with temporary restraining orders/preliminary injunctions).??As a matter of fact - I also employ your catchphrase when I circulate my business card. I learned today that I will be filing two briefs with the Nevada Supreme Court in the coming month.? The issues to be addressed are finer points of Constitutional law and Federal/State administrative law in case 1?and liabilities of joint tortfeasors and successors in interest?in a real estate transaction gone horribly wrong in case 2.? I am already considering?quotes to incorporate into the briefs? - and I haven't even?started drafting it yet.? Anyone have any suggestions?? The more the better..

Cheri's Mayberry room and probable cause
Relarding Cheri's Mayberry room, I write to suggest an item for the "Loaded Goat" episode.? May I suggest that you not try to keep a real, live goat - you know, the mess and such.? Instead, I can probably donate an old, unused box of dynamite laying around the farmstead somewhere to you.? Much neater and less smell than an actual goat - and it could double as an end table/coffee table.? You ever tried to set a cup of coffee on the back of a goat? Regarding?Sharon's question regarding Andy opening the old lady's coat? as I recall, Andy first grew suspicous of probable criminal activity because an old lady ought not to clunk.? This would form his original "probable cause" to warrant a body search.? Of course, a search under the old lady's coat was strictly to insure the safety of the law enforcement officer - checking on the existence of weapons, illegal contraband, etc,? Yet, Andy did not act upon his first suggestion of probable cause - which is certainly not the case in today's law enforcement world where probable cause can be supported?from as little as a "guilty" look about the suspect.??Instead, Andy asked the old lady if she would?submit to a "weight confirmation" test.? Although perhaps unusual in this day and age, in pursuit of enforcement of the law, Andy was acting with propriety when he asked her to submit to such testing.? Given that the old lady voluntarily agreed to such an invasion of her privacy and agreed to be weighed, the result of that testing confirmed the law enforcement officer's initial misgivings, resulting in probable cause to conduct said invasion of privacy.? In today's world, an old lady that clunks would be subject to a body search on that basis alone if a crime was suspected. In our little world of Mayberry, Andy extended the search for probable cause in a way unheard in the 21st Century. Regarding Sharon's question about the string on the camera in the "Filling Station Robbery," this caught my eye a number of years ago.? I agree, it appears to me they are one eye-hook shy of having the string actually pull to make the camera click when the door opens. My two cents...

Andy Movies
Dear Digest: I have been reading about movies that Andy Griffith played in - and I don't believe anyone has mentioned my personal favorite - Rustler's Rhapsody. This movie is a send-up of all of the "tumblin' tumbleweed" genre of movies starring Gene Autry, Randolph Scott, Roy Rogers, etc. In my opinion - it is hilarious. Andy plays the "villanous" land baron, making all of the cliche' moves against the town and its people. Truly an inspired performance.
