Holiday Wishes
Just wanted to wish all of our Mayberry friends a Happy Holiday. This was always one of my favorite times of year. As a kid my parents would always invite people who would have otherwise been alone on Thanksgiving. Once the word got out, things would always snowball. Some years we would have 30 - 40 people at our house. We would set up tables all through the house and the basement and everyone would always have a great time. There was a group of four women everyone referred to as the widows who always travelled and ate together. All of the tables made it easy to play games well into the evening. The widows were great canasta players. My wife and I have tried to continue this tradition but not quite to that extent, this year we will have about 15. Looking forward to tomorrow, hope everyone else is as well.

Odd Facts Known by Few
I think you were supposed to put a willow chip under the dog's head while he was dreaming and then put it under you rown pillow and you'll have the same dream. Q: Was that from Odd Facts Known by Few, or the Mountian folklore book in Divorce Mountain Style, or the book Barney read bout rubbing the head of a red headed man for luck in the Henry Bennet is a Jinx episode?

Mythbusters
One of the most amazing feats of auto mechanicizems. Episode # 144 Goober takes a car apart Did not look like Goober had any help in taking Gilly Walkers car apart and moving it from the street to inside the the sheriffs office,and putting it together again in running condition All the heavy tools must of been stashed in the back room Do you think he took the engine apart? Floyd would have had a great deal in getting a fully hand assembled. Is Gilly related to Ellie? I think I need a bigger bucket.

Green Ford Falcon
My folks had a 1960 Falcon in that color.It was calledseafoam green It was the first of three Falcons they owned; another 1960 (black and white), and a light blue 1963. Great little cars. Drove the first one in my drivers' license test. It passed! Don Hill Make your dream home a reality.

More Mythbusters
Thanks for the responses/ideas for our favorite show having scenes proven or disproven on Mythbusters. In a neat sense of irony, As I type this, tonight's (Wed 9 EST) episode of Mythbusters is about Fainting Goats. Good think Jimmy wasn't that breed.. or possibly blooey Here are some more things that could be tried. Didn't Gomer say Goober could do 80 in his hopped-up boat?? What kind of jet-boat would it take to go 80 MPH on water?? Could a skinny boy (or man) really reach in a milk bottle and lift out an egg?? When you're riding on a motorcycle at a certain speed, it is impossible to pronounce certain words?? How much mulberry squeezin's would it take to make a man tipsy? Could you really see aphids on roses from the road? Will tigers eat food touched by human Hands?? Or do they require tweezers?? We already know that placebos work (Emma's pills) (psychological effects) OK One more for now-Can you really stretch the human body with a harness to gain a half inch in height?

spirits
I don't know about anyone else but I get tipsy with two cocktails so I assume several cupfuls out of that stone crock would flip me out! But I truly think I would detect the odd taste and stop immediately! Aunt Bee of Orlando ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Bus station
I always assumed that folks bought a ticket from the drugstore right behind where the bus stopped: Franklin's Pharmacy I believe it said. Passengers could also probably ask the driver to wait a minute if they wanted to hop off for a quick purchase or restroom break too. Maybe Sarah arranged their tickets over the phone and had them hand-delivered like when the telegram was brought directly to Aunt Bee at home!

Laugh tracks
I'm sure this has been discussed but has anyone noticed on the 4th season DVD collection that some of the episodes, like the first one, Opie the birdman have no laugh tracks? Do you think these can be returned?? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all. Debbie in SC Debbie, someone asked a similar question back in mid-October, so I will simply re-post what I told him, as follows: Just watched Opie the Birdman and was puzzled over the fact that the entire episode was lacking a laugh track, even prior to Opie's tragic killing of the mama bird. The beginning scene in the courthouse had a comical interchange where Barney cautioned Opie not to stick his tongue out, then does it himself-no audience laughter! Has anyone else noticed this? Were you watching this on DVD, Eric? If so, you must have the initial printings of the Season Four set that were missing laugh tracks on two of the discs. This was brought up on the digest shortly after Season Four was released. Paramount, to rectify the situation (We got ourselves a situation!), offered to replace these discs with discs containing the laugh tracks. I took advantage of this because I found it rather disconcerting (having been conditioned to hear the laughter, canned though it may be) to watch the shows without the tracks. As I recall, I just had to write Paramount a letter requesting the replacement discs and include the proof-of-purchase from the box. Hope this helps.
