Mayberry Phrases
Hey, Mayberry friends. The phrase most often heard around my house is Hey to as in Hey to Goober or Hey to Mom, or Hey to my wife, or Hey to my grandkids. I've also read that on some Polynesian islands, coconut milk is considered to be quite an aphrodisiac. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TAGS, Bible references
If one was to dig deep enough I bet there are Biblical foundations for most of them.Patty Haley Yes, Patty you are right. I am a retired Pastor turned Stand up comedian..Several times I applied mayberry people or happenings to my messages from the Pulpit...The one I Preached the most Our Purpose For Living..comparing Barney Fife to Solomon..Just read the short book of Ecclesiastes and see how how much Solomon wanted to succeed at whatever he did and think of Barney. All the things he tried with so much desire to succeed, being a deputy, his romances, salesman ship, and many areas, just like Solomon kept trying to succeed. Today I watch TAGS and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. and glean ideas for an occasional joke and apply it to some make believe person...TAGS was a very special show...more so than even we can comprehend...There is so much that can be applied even today to any number of situations and I think that has something to do with it's popularity. I don't have a favorite phrase that I use but my favorite line from an actor in TAGS came from Opie. If honesty is such a good policy why am I out a cap pistol...

What's your most-used TAGS quote or phrase?

RE: Favorite TAGS line
My favorite reply of all when someone gives me a compliment is I try. They don't get it but then I don't expect them to. I do however, have 5 pages of one liners if anyone is interested - just email me and I'll send it. Lines for every occasion.

Serious question
I don't know exactly whom to address this to but it's something that does bother me. I love TAGS and the characters in it but...has anyone ever noticed the lies told on every episode? True, some could be considered white lies but I don't believe in that phrase. I don't mean to be a worm in the pickle barrel, but it seems lies are told flippantly and often by a number of characters, most notably by Andy. I know it's done to better the situation or to keep from hurting someone but still... Steve Billings ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
