RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 15, Issue 142 TV Theme Songs
Not to be prideful or bragging or anything, but I can sing the entire theme song to Beverly Hillbillies AND Green Acres. One of my most outstanding talents. That and an ability to count money.

Mayberry Trivia
I think that none of these ladies ever married.

The top three main females leads on TAGS were Frances Bavier (Aunt Bea), Aneta Corsaut (Helen Crump), and Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou). Besides all three starring on TAGS, what do these women have in common.Before you say they retired to North Carolina, Aneta Corsaut did not.Hint: it is not something they all did, it is something they did not do.

Mayberrynsightings
Recently I found a movie on Netflix I had never heard of. It was written by and starred Billy Bob Thornton and was set in Arkansas, namely Arkadelphia and Little Rock. The name of it was Daddy and Them and the part of his Daddy was played by Andy Griffith! The courthouse scenes were shot in the state Capitol building. On another note, Friday I will be in Piggott, AR to visit the Hemingway House Museum. Part of A Face in the Crowd was filmed there.

Funniest lines
The scene where Barney is telling the council what Andy carries as emergency supplies in the trunk of the squad car - I think it was a shovel and a rake - and Goober leans over and says ain't you got a jack?

Noticing
I was watching Opies Charity today on the marathon and noticed something I have never seen before, although I am sure most people on this list have! When Andy is walking Tom Silby out his door at home, there is a picture on the wall of a woman. Is this supposed to be Opie's mother?

Mayberry Keepsakes
Peggy, I would pick Aunt Bee's Blue Willow and have a lot of it myself (which I paid a lot of money for). One of my friends has a set that was her mother's. Back in the 60's her dad got it for her mother at the gas station. They gave away pieces with a fill-up. My mother got a lot of sets of everyday dinnerware that way at the grocery store. I think we went through every set of dishes that Dillon's and Safeway had to offer! If some store in our town did that with Blue Willow now, I would definitely shop that store!

Pickle stories
Here is a relatively useless fact about pickle production that made me wonder It seems that store pickles are all the same size (well most of them that is) and this is due to a carefully orchestrated timing of planting, bringing in bees to pollinate all on the same day, and picking all on the same day, which produces uniform sizes in the cucumbers. So my question is, since Aunt Bee wouldn't have had access to cukes grown for production, her cucumbers would have been different sizes, and the store pickles would have been more uniform, and nobody noticed this...Not even Clara Edwards. Just makes you wonder. And I got this information from a professor with a PhD whose brother makes a good living in the bee business, pollinating pickles.

What Character would I want to be?
Good topic Ken! It's hard to choose between Harriet down at the Bank and Clara. On the one hand, being a non-practicing banker by profession, I would love to be in the banking business in Mayberry where it was a real, service oriented, community serving bank. On the other hand, Clara had a nice life as a housewife, was well taken care of by her late husband, whom she truly loved and missed, and was an accomplished lady - organist/pianist/musician, master gardener and pickle putter-upper extraordinaire!

Taylor Home Inn
We had a wonderful stay at the Taylor Home Inn on our vacation. We went out of our way to go there and it was worth it! Marsha is a great hostess, and it's such a rush to walk in the door and be in the Taylor living room! She has put so much detail in this home, even had some BeautiControl cosmetics in Aunt Bee's room! I remember my mother using those in the 60's. If you haven't gotten there yet, try your best! You will love it... Harriet down at the Bank (Aka Janet in Arkansas) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Bugged
There was that fly that lit on Aunt Bee's pickles and died Harriet down at the Bank -- Message: 7 Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 19:18:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Barbara Mylott mylitldog...@yahoo.com To: wbmutbb@wbmutbb.com Subject: Bugged Message-ID: 266721.24435...@web112108.mail.gq1.yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hey to all..hope everyone had a good holiday. I was watching a show the other day when I was annoyed by a bug that just wouldn't go home. As I was trying to sh him away the thought came to me that I've never seen a bug in Mayberry. I remember someone writing in that they've never seen a cat there either. There's not much a bug can do for the show but it's an interesting concept that makes Mayberry even more perfect. Has anyone ever seen a bugged show written into the theme like sittn' on the porch catching fireflies?

Salt Risin bread
Salt Rising bread is a flavorful bread that does not use yeast or baking powder to make it rise, but instead is a process using a starter that is salt-based. It is popular mostly in the eastern state, hence it would be popular in North Carolina. It is a tedious process, so it is not made by a lot of people and hard to find. We used to have a bakery in NW Arkansas that would make it. I think it is Irish in orgin. It is also very good!

Rafe Hollister and a recipe I found
Well, let me just say this, a lot of people down here say things with well in them and drop off the W, its very common. And saying well hey will come out ull-a. Nuff said on that. On another note, I checked out a cookbook from the library, and it had, lo and behold, a recipe for fish muddle! For those who wonder, it's a stew/soup common in North Carolina, kind of like chowder (the kind with the tomato base). I ordered the cookbook from Amazon, so if anyone gets a hankering for it, just get the recipe from me! I'll gladly oblige.

Party Lines
I grew up in Hot Springs, AR and they didn't switch to dial phones until the mid-fifties. You picked up the receiver and the operator would come on and ask Number please. At that time we had a population of probably 30 thousand. Not a small town! And it was a candlestick phone like they have in the sherrif's office. My grandmother lived out in the country and they had a party line in the 70's. And my sister lived in a small town in Oklahoma in the 80's and they only had one or two long distance lines. If someone was on them, you couldn't get through!

Three things
Hey there, three things I'd like to say: Aunt Bee - Which Nicholas Sparks book are you reading? I thought I had read them all and can't recall this... Arnold Ziffel - I'm with you on the cotton pickin' High School Reunion commercials. Don't even want to hear another one of those, thank goodness for the mute button! And about Senior moments - I can remember my first college id number and my phone number when I was in high school, but I always get my cell number wrong! And I always knew Andy was saying Current events, it never sounded like curly bits to me...but then I am from the south...lucky me. Guess that's four.

Sightings
Here in NW Arkansas, we have had so much devastation from the big ice storm, people have come from all over to help out. One of the electric companies that came to help is from Mt. Airy, North Carolina, and the company is called Pike Electric. Guess the mayor has a side line. Is this a conflict of interest? Even if it is, we sure appreciate the help from them!
