Cats and TAGS names
So, Kim: does that Ernest T cat know how to throw rocks? Maybe you could train (or un-train) him. I may have posted this earlier this year, but we got adopted a cute Jack Russell/Beagle mix from the shelter back in April. His name is Dooley! Not the most obvious TAGS name, but it counts. I do like that it references the Darling family and their musical talent. And that song doesn¹t make me cry. Hope everyone is having a good holiday season, Dawn in Kansas City Message: 2 Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 11:38:28 -0600 From: "Kim Heiden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: pet names To: wbmutbb@wbmutbb.com Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 The pet names got me to thinking about names I should give to a couple of cats that come by for a handout every now and then. Last night the male had a fight with another cat, so I think I'll start calling him Ernest T since he's a little mean and looks healthy. The female then has to be Romeena. Romeena has a little gray kitten, do you think it would be in bad taste to name it Hogette if it's a girl? I don't want to cause any jealousy in the family.

Dooley dog
Hey, all. Sorry I haven¹t checked in lately, but now I have some news, and it¹s BIG. (Actually, it¹s only 20 lbs.) We adopted a darling dog from the animal shelter a few weeks ago. When I first glanced at the info sheet hanging on his kennel, I couldn¹t believe it: his name was DOOLEY! I immediately thought of the Darling boys singing Dooley and what a cheerful song it is. The name suits our little guy perfectly. I finally have a TAGS dog! (with dog tags, ha ha) Dawn in Kansas City ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Andy's movie roles
Dixon, I agree with you and the other Digest members whole-heartedly about Andy in ³Face in the Crowd.² I also think you make an excellent comment about Andy¹s choice of roles and career path.

A Face in the Crowd
I have been meaning to write in and tell everyone that I finally rented ³A Face in the Crowd.² What an amazing movie! All these years I have been reading about it on wbmutbb and I wondered if it would live up to the hype. It definitely did. My husband, who is nowhere near the TAGS fan that I am, watched it and agreed that it was a great movie. Such an interesting role for Andy, and the movie had quite a bit of interesting social commentary. I never would have known about it had it not been for this board. Thanks a bunch. And if you have not seen this movie, do yourself a favor and rent it. I got it thru Netflix b/c my local Blockbuster didn¹t have it.

Sweet Tea
Great observation and question about the lack of ice(d) tea being served on TAGS. I would lump that in with the question of why there was no basketball played or referenced on TAGS, considering b¹ball is a religion in North Carolina. Maybe the sweet tea reference would have been too quaint or even lost on the non-Southern viewers (bless their hearts). Just my 2 cents.

Mayberry Moment
Hey everybody. I had a Mayberry Moment today. Our local post office has a stop sign at the exit of the parking lot. The top nail or screw has come out and been this way for some time now leaving it hanging upside down. I was leaving out of the parking lot today and was thinking just like Andy. All it needs is a little nail in it, but then I thought that somebody must be waiting on a work order like Barney. Makes you think. Well got to go now.

Missed David Browning
Hey everybody. I know that David Browning is a member of this digest, so I thought that I would let him know that I sure did miss him at the Tom Johnson's camping center spring fling this past weekend. I saw your picture on the poster, but didn't see you anywhere and believe me, if you were there, we would have seen you, and you can't be missed. I go every year and always enjoy seeing him be a GREAT Barney Fife. I hope you were not under the weather. Well, got to go.

Floyd's funny lines
Hey everybody. I read where someone was talking about a deleted Floyd scene. That is a good line by Floyd. My favorite line from Floyd is where Barney is running against Andy for sheriff and they are in the barber shop and Floyd asks Barney if he's expecting to get any votes and Barney says he will get some and Floyd says against Andy you mite not and Andy says sure, Barney's going to get a lot of votes and Floyd says my favorite line - "If there's a trend you let me know" as if Floyd can do something about Barney getting votes. Every time I heard that it just cracks me up. Any more favorite Floyd lines out there?

Oscar "In Memoriam" tribute
Anthony, you beat me to it. I watched the Oscars last night, in particular hoping to see a nice tribute to Barn' during the annual "In Memoriam" montage. I was so surprised that he wasn't featured (nor Dennis Weaver nor Darren McGavin). My guess is that they put together those montages a week or two in advance and move onto the next "to do" item on their big list. I expect we'll see a tribute to all 3 actors at next year's Academy Awards. It will seem like very old news by then, but won't it be nice to have a warm reminder of Don in March 2007.

I just saw on tonight¹s news that Don Knotts passed away today. We knew this day would come, but it¹s still sad. I¹m sure this group will pay him many fine tributes over the coming weeks.

TAGS character that inspires me
Without a doubt, Andy is the one who inspires me most, esp when it comes to being a patient, supportive, loving parent. I really do reflect quite often on some of those father-son episodes between him and Opie.

Running in Mayberry
Hey everybody. I hope everyone had a GREAT Mayberry Christmas and will have a GREAT Mayberry New Year. TV Land has gone all digital and I have a C-Band satellite dish and can no longer get it. I am very sad now and I guess our local channel and my DVD's will have to give me my TAGS fix. I was watching the episode on our local station about Ernest Tee joining the Army and I noticed Barney and Andy running after him right after Barn broke the courthouse window and it got me to wondering how often and who in Mayberry did we see running on the show? It just looked out of place for them to be running on camera. Can anyone recall others running on the show? I was just wondering.
