Confirmation of Schwamp sighting
>>>I had an offline conversation with Tom KesselSO at his request, I sent him the Youtube.com link of Christmas in Connecticut (#9 of 11). Do you know what he noticed in that little clip a little over 3 minutes in? The way he (Mr. Schwamp or not) folded his hands in his lap. He said. That is him! I can tell by the hands!<<< Wow! That is REAL trained noticing on Tom Kessel's part! I never observed that myself, although I did exercise my womanly prerogative to change my mind last year and decided that it probably was Mr. Schwamp in "Christmas in Connecticut" during that square dance scene. I based my conclusion on his general appearance, especially the hair. But I agree with Joe -- I think Tom's clue clinches it. I will enjoy watching "CIC" all the more this year knowing that it is our beloved Schwamp in that scene. Thanks, Tom!

Good to see Andy and Opie still spending time together. Smart folks. And that nice Cunningham kid and his hoodlum friend, too. Ayyy! As far as politics, I say vote Taylor/Fife in 08! And I still back Floyd as the next debate moderator.

Ron Howard's political ad
>>>Andy Griffith and Ron Howard have teamed up and shot a commercial supporting Obama. They are in character as Andy and Opie, as well as a segment featuring Richie and Fonzie from Happy Days. It surprises me that they would use those characters to promote a political party.<<< Yes, my husband found the link for that and showed it to me. Irrespective of who I'm supporting in the election, I am very disappointed that Ron and Andy would politicize the TAGS characters. I wouldn't want them to do that for *either* candidate. I think it was an unwise decision on their part. It was interesting to note, however, that Ron, Andy, and Henry Winkler gave us no actual reasons for voting for their man other than the nebulous mantra of "change." The whole message seemed to hinge on its entertainment value. Thelma Lou (Janet) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Kissy Face, Kissy Face
Dear Friends,
I have so enjoyed reading the Digests and all your comments especially in
regards to Mayberry's funniest romantic moments.
The ones I like, that I don't think have been mentioned so far, are the ones
where Barney's face is covered with Thelma Lou's
lipstick after a "kissy" session and he tries to act all normal. (And if these
have been mentioned, please forgive my mental fog.)
Like the time Barney keeps his head stuck in that filing cabinet hidden from
Opie only to jerk up and scare the
child to death ("Pa, Pa, Barney's
bleeding."); to Barney sitting on Thel's couch with his legs crossed, trying to
look all innocent, just
holding that cup of coffee, telling Andy that he and Thelma
Lou had just been sitting there "talking the situation over"' all the time his
face covered with kissy lips; and then there's the time Andy calls out to
Barney to help him sing "The Fox," we hear a slap, and then we see a sheepish
Thelma Lou come out of Andy's house followed by Barney with the lipstick stained
face, both of them hoping so badly no one notices a thing out of the ordinary.
Now if that don't get you, you can't be got.
We talk about that at the Dime Store all the time. If we did more selling than
we did talking, maybe the economy wouldn't be as bad as
it is, but then neither me nor Lydia have any education in business. Gossip we
got our PhD in; business, no.

politics
Please, I don't care who you vote for, but lets keep politics out of our TAGS site. Bob Purlear, NC ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Politics....please avoid or a least be kind
Folks, Be kind to one another and consider others feeling when you say anything having to do with politics or religion, PLEASE. I know the real world bleeds into our little corner of Mayberry from time to time and elections such as this one cause that even more. But please realize that all of us have opinions about the two subjects I mentioned above. While we all have those opinions, this is not the place to voice them. Andy Griffith is for certain a Democrat. "Andy Taylor" ran non-partisan races so lets keep them separate in our minds. Same with Ron and Opie, etc. We have to all remember that our little corner of Mayberry IS REAL but the one we watch and wish we could live in is something we dream of. Our nirvana (a place or state characterized by freedom from or oblivion to pain, worry, and the external world). I want to keep our corner of Mayberry as much a place without worries from the external (real) world as possible so pleasehelp me. So far as that video of Ron, Andy and Henry Winkler goesI enjoyed seeing "Opie" and "Richie" as well as Fonz and "Andy"...if you can't divorce yourself from the politics they speak ofturn off the sound and enjoy seeing the people we love. --Allan Newsome "The Andy Griffith Show" Rerun Watchers Club - Webmaster http://www.mayberry.com/ ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
romance
My favorite romantic moment is when Gomer brings Mary Grace the cor-sage, it twangs my heartstrings every time. I also like it when at the dance Barney hollers out to Thelma Lou, "you're the only girl I ever loved". And in the first Darling episode when Charlene tells Dud, "you're the sweetest boy what ever growed". Now those sentiments ought to be written on greeting cards. I couldn't help but notice The Untrained Voice mentioned several romantic encounters that fall into the "Love Hurts" category. I'll be ol Sig Frood could really do a good study on that.

Romance is in the air
How about the biggest romance of all time on TAGS? All the men and women of Mayberry making up after Andy finally endorses Ellie for the first female on the town council. Otis patted his wife's arm. Hilda Mae and Barney smiled at each other. The whole crowd was romancing and the sheriff himself was kissed by a council woman. Kind behind the eyes PS Please don't let politics ruin Mayberry. It's bad enough we're getting that new bypass on account of Mayor Stoner's brother. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
What Would Mayberry Do?
I know this digest isn't for endorsing candidates or anything like that, so I will not cross that boundary. (If anyone has any doubt as to which candidate for President?is dangerous for this country, feel free to e-mail me privately and I will be glad to enlighten you). However, please consider this simple question as it relates to the upcoming election: Who would the majority of the people in our favorite hometown of Mayberry vote for? And I'm not talking about the real actors/actresses who are endorsing candidates. My question is?who would the God-fearing, church-going, hard-working people of Mayberry who cherish traditions, love this country,?and respect?veterans vote for? Please put on your thinkin' buckets and take a think. Thank You! Gary in N.C. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

What?
Let me get this straight Tom - we're not supposed to return to the days of pro-GOP comments, but you feel fine in making pro- Democrat comments? You don't have to put a bucket on your head to realize that neither sentiments have a place here in Mayberry. " How I vote, Brother, is my business!"

Re: Romantic Moments
This is a great discussion of the Romantic Moments!
How about when the very dejected Barn, learning of Thel's marriage to a
wrecking crew foreman, meets Nettie Albright ("it's just go, go, go!"). "I see
you're a blonde now..."

Romantic Moments
re: Romantic Moments Perhaps one of the best of all time, to my knowledge as not been mentioned: It's when Andy sees Sharon DeSpain (sp?) again at the high school reunion. Barney says "It's one of the greatest natural romances of all time and it's still going..."
