MayberryGossipClub
Wow!!! What a fabulous idea that Mayberry Gossip Club site is! Thanks Allan, for initiating that!! I finally checked it out today, and was totally impressed!! I have been longing for something like that, to have at my fingertips while I'm watching a certain episode for the 25th time... those Odd Facts Known By Few just make it almost like a treasure hunt when watching the episodes! Thank you so much - to everyone who contributed to that site so far! I'm very excited to check on it regularly... and who knows... I might even notice something some day... and contribute to it myself!! Thanks for making each episode exciting, all over again! So grateful for all of you!

About Episode One
I also myself have wondered about that pick-up truck. My theory is that it must have belonged to someone else because Opie was still in bed and Aunt Bee did not want to wake him. And surely Andy would not have left Opie at home alone.

Re: Library in Mayberry
Didn't Carl's* mother work at the library? *Benson, of Carl Benson's Wildcats Don Tiger Good ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Liberry
Wasn't the library mentioned in one of the episodes where there is a dance? Andy is explaining to somebody that the woman in the band is the mother of the band leader (Carl Benson maybe?) and she now plays full time with the band except for Thursday nights when she works at the library. Some of you who have the uncut DVD's could probably answer that.

Re: 40 acre lot Mayberry
Dale, I share your feelings about this photo. I have spent a lot of time just looking at it and walking down Main St. in Mayberry. For me, it kind of makes Mayberry a reality. If anyone hasn't seen this photo or would like to, Joel Rasmussen sells a really nice annotated copy along with some other cool Mayberry stuff on his website at http://www.angelfire.com/biz/Mayberry/ And Dale, I've been to the location where 40 Acres was. It is of course been replaced by office buildings but most of the surrounding buildings that were there in the 60's and visible in the photo are still there. I have stood in the place where the Courthouse once was--What a thrill! -Ray ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Happy Holiday
I hope everyone has a happy and blessed Easter and Good Friday. I'll be catching up on my digest reading Monday. Can't you picture the Easter Pagent at All Souls Church? Barney would be trying to grow out a beard in order to play on of the disciples, but Goober would be chosen because (as Floyd pointed out) he grows a nice beard. Kim - Wylie, TX - Love cheap thrills?

Howard his mother
Todays episode reminds me. In the early colour episodes Howard's mother was very protective and thanks to Andy Goober she gradually let him go. However my question is this: Why did she virtually disappear? Howard went off to the Caribbean w/nary a mention of Mrs. Sprague. Surely, she would have been there to see him off. Did Mabel Anderson get another job? This surely was before her turn as Samantha's mother in law on /Bewitched/. I see where she's died of Alzheimer's.

What Would Barney Do
From the What Would Barney Do Files comes the following report: Eighty-two year old Mayvis Coyle began shuffling across Foothill Blvd. with her cane when the light was green, but she was unable to make it to the other side before the light turned red. A motorcycle officer who ticketed her said she was obstructing traffic and causing a danger to others. Coyle said, I think it's completely outrageous... like I don't know what I'm doing. Officer Zaboski said police are cracking down on people who improperly cross streets because pedestrian accidents are above normal and he ticketed the elderly woman $114.00. That'll teach her. . Some officers have speculated that if you give them an inch today, tomorrow they will take a foot; give them a foot tomorrow, and the next day they will want a yard; when will it ever end? And if you let an 82 year old woman off today, tomorrow a 76 year old man will want to be let off; let a 76 year old man off tomorrow and the next day some punk kid will be jay walking; when will it end? So, the Officer Zaboski was right. Just because Mrs. Coyle is 82 years old and using a cane is no excuse. He just thought, What would Barney do? and he knew exactly what Barney did with Emma. No mercy.

Green River and Andy Bloopers
I was in Pinedale, Wyoming this week for my wife's brother's wedding we flew into Salt Lake and then drove from there to Pinedale. I stopped off at an exit to get gas and not realizing it, found myself in the town of Green River, Wyoming. Home of the Green river ordinance. I brought my TAGS episodes to watch on my laptop on the trip and I noticed that on Season 1 disc 4 one of the episodes I can't remember now which one. But one of them on that disc had a shot of Andy closing the door to the Sheriff's office. Well he didn't get the door closed all the way the first time and so he went to finish closing it. However before he did you can see a hand reach from the other side of the door and close it for him. Like one of the stage crew thought he would help out and it got caught on tape. My wife says I definitely watch the show too much if I am now noticing these things. I was curious though if anyone else has noticed little goofs like that in any episodes that they would like to share.

The Low-Down on Lydia's Love Live
I was over at the Dime Store buying some buttons and bows for my Easter dress when the Digest came in and I read where I was accused of cheating on Goober. Oh, to be falsely accused of immorality! The pain of it all! The suffering. And I who has suffered so much already! Why me, Lord, why, why, why? First, I was rejected by Andy. Maybe it was because I wasn't a native of Ancient Greece and he liked girls with fancier backgrounds, and there I was just plain ole Lydia from Waynesboro. Or maybe it had to do with my dislike of the guitar. Who knows. That man shorely is picky is all I know about it. Then Goober comes along and I go out of my way to please that one, and I thought things were going along pretty fine and all of a sudden he just stops showing up. No reason given. Next thing I know Miss Flora is in the picture and he is turning to computer dating. And that ain't right! Why? Maybe I didn't keep enough pretzels in the house (they lay heavy on my chest). I know he was always wanting me to play cards and I was raised to reject all forms of gambling. Maybe our cultures were just too different. I don't know. All I know is we were having a good time and poof--good bye and good luck, Lydia. Goober is a nice boy, real helpful about my car. A good conversationalist, too. And I love to talk; I hate to chit-chat, but I love ordinary conversation. Can't we all just sit around and do ordinary talk? Maybe I got car sick just one time too many. A thing like that can put a damper on a relationship. You think so? Like Flora never got sick? Like scientist girl never had the herpes from the sun? Oh, yeah. Lydia, My only fault was I tried too hard to please people. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
