Naming pets

[B P]

I've named many pets and other animals for TAGS characters over the years.
I don't think it's odd (People sure are odd)it's Therapetic. 
Possibly a Compelsion Complex (Listen, you find Compelsion nuts all 
over). I dunno...


Newton the cat (Newton Monroe)
Jubal the beagle (Jubal Foster...Jbal...Jubal)
Leonard the Rooster (Leonard Blush..he's always crowing)
Jack the Black Lab (Black Jack Pershing, allegedly rode in Barney's 
sidecar across the Marne River during the battle of Chateau-Thierryin 
WWI, driven by Corporal Nate Jackson A.E.F.)


Currently I have 2 male cat brothers
Rafe (Rafe Hollister)
and
Ernie (Ernest T Bass)

I also have names for wildlife and neighbors pets I see regularly around 
my mountain


Hoadie the Racoon (Hoadie Snitch, seems like he's always trying to get 
away with something...very sneaky about getting into the trash and 
birdfeeders)
Lucius, the Husky Dog (General Lucius Pyle, potentially related to 
Gomer; if one Pyle can make it, another'n can)
A little wren lives in my wren house named Birdie Blush (Gomers fishing 
buddy)
Virgil the Racoon, clumsy and he's always getting into some kinda fix. 
Got stuck in the gutter elbow last Halloween trying to get to the 
birdfeeders (Cousin Virgil)

Lucy the doe deer (Lucy Matthews)
Juanita the doe deer (Juanita Beasley)
Lily the doe deer (Lilly Becker, Quiet Sam Becker's wife)
Fletch the Bear (Fletch Roberts/Dillbeck)
Hogette the big sow Bear who visits with her cubs regularly (Hogette 
Winslow)
Nat the Goat (Uncle Nat, uncle to Otis) A friends goat with an 
outstanding beard
Grovely the squirrel, loves jumping off the roof onto the birdfeeders 
(Grovely Barch, spirit of the air)
Idelle the doe deer (Idelle Bushy, Dud Wash's former sweetheart; and he 
ain't lost it all for her yet!)
Nat the great horned owl (Nat Pike, who seems to know everything, even 
though he's only 4 years old; he may be young, but he's been around)

A Fine Howdy-Doo

[B P]

  It was "The Horse Trader" where Andy sells the towns cannon, albeit by 
questionable tactics.

Does anyone remember which episode that SiriusXM got the Sheriff Taylor quote 
"Well this is a fine howdy-doo" ?

Barney Gets His Man lighting issue

[B P]

Being a trained noticer, I saw the episode Barney Gets His Man the other 
day on WDBJ Ch7 in Roanoke VA and I happened to notice a weird lighting 
effect.
I think it's from one of those reflecting panels TV uses to direct the 
sun into the shot and take away shadows.

See for yourself at at 16:08-16:24 in this video...the light starts on 
Barney's rifle as he puts the butt end on the ground and proceeds to pan 
across the shot from right to left...

Cyrano Andy and John Alden

[B P]

Eric,
The reference is to "The Courtship of Miles Standish" where John Alden is sent 
by Standish to propose to Priscilla Mullins on Standish's behalf, whereby 
Mullins says “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John?”

From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Alden
She is known to literary history as the unrequited love of newly widowed 
Captain Miles Standish, the 
colony's military advisor, in Henry Wadsworth 
Longfellow's 1858 
poem The Courtship of Miles 
Standish. 
According to the poem, Standish asked his good friend John 
Alden to propose to Priscilla on his 
behalf, only to have Priscilla ask, “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John?”
