Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.
I didn't take Mr. Mulik's reference to Gomer in the Marines as any kind of slur. He spelled Corps just liked Gomer pronounces it. Like carps, with an o. This is a Mayberry site, and Mayberry references are made not to offend but to be correct and true to the Mayberry source. Don't think real world here, think Mayberry.

Lucky Leon
And lucky us who could sleep outside in the summer, catch pollywags in a deep pond on an old door for a raft, and feel unafraid of talking to strangers. But do any of you remember not having to lock your doors at night? Well then, I was wondering why they had Asa guard the bank, the ice house, and Weaver's store, and why Barney had to watch the bikes down at the movie house? Andy and Barn even checked the doorknobs at night. Besides Leon being unsupervised, in the episode 'Stranger in town, Mrs. Johnson? even parked her twins outside the store.

Gomer's pronounciation of Corps
I remember this. The poster was pointing out Gomer and Andy mis-pronouncing it corpse instead of core. If you haven't seen the episode where Gomer joins the Marines, you wouldn't get the joke. It's kind of a play on the fact that Andy and Gomer were unspoiled, unsophisticated country folks. It was certainly not meant to disparage the Marines. Disparage Gomer yes, a little, but not the Marines. Karen _ A new home for Mom, no cleanup required.

Doug and Rodney update
I had the pleasure to talk to Doug and Rodney Dillard Tuesday night. They were at the Old Settlers Festival in Odon, Indiana. They said everyone is doing great and are looking forward to Mayberry Days. As usual they put on a very entertaining show and signed autographs until everyone was done. They really take time to talk to everyone and embrace the Mayberry idea. Just a quick note to Paul. I'm as patriotic as anyone on this chat line, and I took no offense at your comment. Those of us who know the Andy Griffith Show forward and backward knew what you were refering to. Mr. Ryan obviously doesn't watch the show enough to understand. He should go to the diner, have the special, go watch them change the marquis at the Grand, relax and not get so tensed. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Marines
Paul, I think he was just spelling it the way Gomer pronounced it on the show. No disrespect intended, after all we are all Mayberrians here. Have a good day!
