Two Mayberry Moments
#1 I was listening to a Milwaukee Brewers baseball broadcast on the radio today and the announcers were discussing today's weather. One announcer said "It is nice", and the other announcer replied with, "Real nice". For a minute there I though they were talking about Mary Grace. #2 I had a haircut today and the gal who cut my hair told me something very interesting. She said that in Wisconsin it is no longer legal for a barber or stylist to give shaves using a straight razor or any kind of hand razor. The only exceptions are for barbers who have been cutting hair for many years and have been grandfathered in. No one who goes into cutting hair can do the shaves nor can anyone who has not been grandfathered in. Wonder what poor old Floyd would think about this? Where would poor Otis go for his shaves? -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Mayberry Moments
About a week ago I injured my knee whilst working out in the yard. I finally went to the doctor today. While being escorted to radiology to have X rays taken, the technician asked how I hurt it. I told her it was an old football injury from playing football with my wife. That cracked everyone up really good. I had a very touching request this week. I received an email from a family in southern Wisconsin asking if it would be possible for me to come to their father's funeral. He was a huge Andy Griffith Show fan and they wanted me to escort the funeral procession from the church to the cemetery and then go back to the reception with the family to visit with friends and family. It would have been a very nice thing to do, but unfortunately my squad car is still in winter storage and I cannot get it out until April 15. And besides that, the bumpers are off as I had them rechromed over the winter and they will be put back on in a few weeks. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Mayberry Moments in Everyday Life
How many times in everyday life have you been doing a mundane chore that brings back a Mayberry Moment? I use a stoneware crock to brew sweet tea (a little sweet tea and spicy talk), and tea being what it is (staining), the crock must be cleaned on a regular basis. When I am doing this chore, I always think to myself of Mayor Stoner, "Do they ever clean this crock"?

Mayberry Moments
This weekend Ted Kruz, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders will all be coming to good old Eau Claire, WI. Our local news this morning reported that there will be 300 officers needed throughout the weekend and they were really scrambling with schedules to try to get enough officers. And do you know what? No one has called me to help out. My wife pressed my uniform and I shined up my bullet really good and here I sit waiting for that call. And a more positive note, on Wednesday I attended a Health Advocacy Day at our state capitol in Madison. There were 1100 of us there including our governor. In the after noon a group of 50 of us were meeting with 5 of our senators and representatives. In the middle of the meeting one of the state representatives announced that she had an important message. She then proceeded to tell everyone that they were honored to have Barney Fife with them. She also told them about all the parades and things I do. So at least our state legislators know and respect me. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry Moments
Friday night my wife and I attended the play, "And Then There Were None" which is based on Agatha Cristie's novel. Several times during the plays the actors referred to someone named Beatrice Taylor. Never thunk in a million years our beloved Aunt Bee would be mixed up on a murder mystery. Last night I gave my Mayberry presentation at the Fall Creek, Wisconsin Fire Department's Annual Meeting and Dinner. I had taught in Fall Creek for 30 years and we lived there for 20 so it was great fun. They loved hearing about Mayberry and everyone who purchased one of my books gave an extra donation to the library in my home town. So many people came up to me afterwards thanking me for sharing so many great memories of growing up in a small town. Fall Creek is a town of 1300 and for many years they had a drug store very similar to Walker's. My wife worked there for about three years and made many malts and ice cream cones behind their soda fountain. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry moments
Sometimes in life you have to make your own Mayberry moments. Mine came at bingo the other day. After a bingo is verified the caller usually announces that it was a good bingo and reminds us to"clear your cards for the next bingo". We'll I was "Settin'" with my friends Corinna and Johnny. When Johnny didn't clear his card fast enough, Corinna reminded him. I jumped in and said "Oh, he's just waitin' for the official verification before he clears his card." Also, one day I was leaving the dining room to go to my room when I realised that I needed to go back. I did a quick u turn in my wheelchair telling my friend Mary P not to yell "citizen's arrest!".

Mayberry Moments
I had a couple of Mayberry moments on this Labor Day.First off, while watching the movie "The Apartment" on TCM there was a scene on Christmas. Anyway, Santa Claus came into the bar.Playing Santa Claus was none other than Otis.And Otis' one line was "Hey, Charley, give me a bottle of bourbon, my sleigh is double parked".That's Otis for you, always in character.Then late tonight I was watching "19 Kids and Counting" on The Learning Channel. Sounds like that mother and father don't need any more learning. Anyway the whole family traveled to Florida for a wedding.As you know, all the people on this show are religious.The bride made the remark that she and her fiance had been dating for 6 months and had never kissed. She said they planned to wait until after marriage to kiss.That made me think of Gomer. "Heck, my Ma and Pa just shook hands on their deal". <<< <<< <<< Orville Hendricks - Butter and Egg Man From Mount Pilot. My grandparents had 12 kids including my dad. Daddy told me it was because grandma was hard of hearing.Daddy said every time grandpa and grandma went to bed, grandpa would ask grandma "Well Ma, are you ready to go to sleep or what"?Grandma would always say "What"? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Wonderful Mayberry Moments
Last night my wife and I took our two cars to a car show at a local Burger King. Shortly after we arrived a man who was probably fifty years old came by with his girlfriend. It was quite obvious that they were both developmentally disabled. I have never seen a person get so excited seeing the squad car. He saw my dummy prisoner in the back seat and went over to the open window and started talking to the dummy. He told him that he had been bad and that is why he had been caught and had a great conversation with him. He asked if he could sit in the front seat so I had him sit in the car and I gave him my deputy hat to wear. His girlfriend kept taking pictures of him and that poor guy was so happy. I gave him a picture of the car and a deputy badge sticker. He came back to the car twice before the night was over. Shortly after he left a young father came by with his son in a wheelchair. The son had cerebral palsy but knew all about Mayberry. The smile on his face when he saw the car and when I put a badge sticker on him really choked me up. It never ceases to amaze me what joy our wonderful Mayberry can bring to folks. I especially like it when the great big macho guys covered with tattoos and body piercings come up to the car and begin talking and asking about Mayberry. Mayberry is indeed a state of mind and continues to live in the hearts of the young and old and folks of all kinds. We were awarded the "Loyal Following" trophy last night for bringing the Squad Car to six of the Burger King shows this summer. I have a special Mayberry presentation to give this coming week at our city Historical Museum. There is a banquet for our Rotary Members and their wives and they asked me to present. They got permission to have me park the car at the entrance so I can greet and meet folks as they arrive. The museum has also agreed to have my book for sale in their gift shop. I told them I would donate all the profits from sales of the book back to the museum. I am hoping they can use the money to buy an old cannon with a busted barrel and TR engraved on it. That would be quite an addition. They already have the old marble soda fountain that was in the drug store back where I taught. My wife worked behind that soda fountain for about eight years.

Mayberry moments
Thelma Lou Thanks for sharing your Mayberry moment with the Citizens Arrest. Too Funny! Here's what happened to me today for my Mayberry momement. I was at a Mexican restaurant (No violin player so no quarter tip to worry about). I thought about doing like Barney and pointing to things that I did not understand but I did not want to take a chance on getting snails and brains. I picked out something that I had eaten before "Pollo Bandido". My family was impressed. They asked me what it was. "Pollo", I said Proudly, "is Chicken"Well what's Bandido? they asked...all I could think of was the Frito Bandito, so I immediately said "Thief" It's Chicken that Chicken Thieves have stolen..which resulted in laghter around the Easter Dinner table. I loved my Pollo Bandido..of Chicken (stolen by Chicken thieves) and what-not. well its been a rough weekend here in our little corner of Mayberry. When veteran contributers like Mike Peacock and Bob Braveti are discouraged enough to clam up..something is wrong. I hope you guys can get past what ever unpleasantry has taken place and be like your old selves again soon.All you guys did was bring up the rules that Allan has shared repeatedly, and on a topic, (TV Land) that has been specifically called out in the past many times. Allan gives us the freeedon to be a little self-governing and use a little peer pressure when things get a little out of bounds so that he doesn't have to seem like a pest jumping in all the time. He allows us to get a little off-topic at times, as long as it doesn't get too carried away or last too long. At the same time, we all make mistakes and forget the rules at times..so that too is forgivable, and we should respect and appreciate a gentle nudge reminder from our fellow Maberryians when that happens. OK now everbody go back to your homes and places of business (the crisis is over) and lets get back to that Mayberry spirit.

Re: mayberry moments
I have to agree with Ken that part of the appeal was Mayberry was home. And, for a half hour we were allowed to be part of it. And, you know many of us look a long time to find that same feeling. Also, I agree about Andy laughing at Don and Andy laughing at Barn. But, I think sometimes the water got murky at who was laughing at who, because. Barn could get tore up at Andy too.

More Mayberry moments
It's always amazing how little touches of Mayberry show up in your life, if
that's your point of view. My wife and I went to a "Broadway Under the Stars"
concert tonight here in Montgomery, Ala. Of course, my first thought was of
"The Sermon for Today" and Mayberry's effort to put on a band concert ("Get
under there with those spiders!"). Even though the city put some signs up, they
really didn't need to. When I heard the music, I knew there was a concert and I
knew it was tonight (and thankfully it wasn't cloudy).
Then right before the concert, we could see the International Space Station
flying over and I thought of "Man in a Hurry" - Men are orbiting the earth!
It's just great to be a Mayberry fan!

Mayberry moments/100th podcast
Just returned from Haiti where I was part of a group providing ministry and relief, and I had not one but two Mayberry moments. First, someone made a reference to a security guard being like Barney Fife with a bullet in his pocket (seems there are Barneys everywhere!) and second, I was sitting in a restaurant at a hotel in Jacmel and, lo and behold, I heard a Latin rendition of "Santa Lucia" playing in the background. That, of course, was the song Barney, then Gomer, then ultimately the trio sang in "The Song Festers." I imagine I was the only one in the place to make that connection, but it was nice to have that little touch of Mayberry. On another note, I'm honored Allan used the sound files I provided of Andy at the 2004 Mayberry Days on the big (and I do mean "big!") 100th episode of the "Two Chairs, No Waiting" podcast earlier this week, and even named me executive producer. I hated I couldn't tune in live, but I just listened to it online and really enjoyed it. If you haven't started listening to the podcast, now is a great time to do so. Allan does a great job with it every week. It'll be the best 15-20 minutes of your week! Have a great Mayberry day!

Mayberry Moments in Sunday School
In our Sunday School we are doing a book study which deals with shocking or unusual stories from the Bible. Today our lesson was on working on the Sabbath and the lottery and what the Bible says about it. After some discussion I looked over to my wife and said this could all have been done with two episodes of TAGS. Man in a Hurry could have addressed the first one and the lottery could have been solved with the episode of Warren arresting the ladies for gambling at the bazaar. Heck one lady in class even mentioned BINGO. To be honest, I just did not get into the lesson as deep as some, but I had some nice Mayberry thoughts and chuckled. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Had two Mayberry moments the other day while flipping thru the channels. In Bachelor Flat, there was our Floyd, in a striped robe, fussing about something.

Mayberry Moments
I wanted to share a few recent "Mayberry moments." Last night, I was reading Reminisce magazine before bed. (My parents subscribe and pass their old issues on to me.) I was reading a tidbit sent in by a Roger Courtney, and as soon as I read his name, my brain just automatically added "of the Esquire Club" before I could finish the sentence! Isn't it funny how those things just pop right into your head? Then, on the next page was printed the old poem "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod." Now, I had never actually read this poem, so it was fun to finally know what Opie was referring to when he named his baby birds. Then this afternoon, I sat down between household chores to read from Julie Andrews' biography Home. She said that her very first stage appearance was a performance of "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" at the age of three and a half. Kind of a coincidence that I had just read the poem the night before!

Mayberry Moments
Our young people at church recently painted their youth room so my wife and I decided to check it out after church yesterday. I broke out laughing the minute I saw it. They had painted the entire room that sickly green color we see all over Mayberry. At the hospital where I volunteer I was recognized today for my years of service. It was my 5th anniversary. I received a very nice stainless steel pin to wear on my volunteer vest. I was highly disappointed though. I turned it over and there was no "Five" engraved on it. I may just take it to the jewelers and have it engraved myself. But I will make sure I don't kiss anyone while there.

Re: Mayberry Moments in the Movies
Hey Everyone, I just got back from vacation and was reading my many Mayberry emails! I wanted to share the following with you all. In the movie, "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" , have you noticed the many, many Mayberrians? My husband and I were stunned! As we watched the movie, we couldn't get over how much it resembled a long TAGS episode! We spotted the following: Barney, Otis, Clara Edwards, Clara Johnson or Clara Lindsey, Jed, Annabelle Silby, Maude Clarisse Tyler, Mrs. Kravitz and the 2nd Darrin (from Bewitched), Mrs. Loesch, Myrtle and last but not least, Mr. Frisby! But the references/similarities in the movie just blew us away... ..Barney lived in a boarding house (although not sure if he "set on the porch drinking cider and counting cars". ..There was a reference to "pounded steak" although I'm sure not nearly as good as "Morelli's". .. and certainly that one of the jury members could have been the beloved Juanita from the diner because they never showed her (or am I incorrect?)

Re: Mayberry Moments
I'm teaching a college statistics course to a class of adult (i.e. "older") students, and we were talking about discrete data, expected value, and such (stay with me here) last week. To illustrate a point, I asked what's the greatest TV show that's ever been. Almost to a person, they answered TAGS. I asked if they recalled the episode where it was revealed there's "x" number of needy boys per square mile. Almost in unison, they replied "Poor Horatio."

HI pals & Gals, During these rocky times in the world I do rely on my mayberry moments to see me through. I wore my Andy Griffith show shirt to work the other day and a friend of mine who works in shoes...asked "is that a coincidence?" I said "what?" He said" your shirt" I said "no way man... that is my favorite show and I am a member of the fan club. It's an on line thing and it is BIG REALLY BIG" he smiled and said that was one of my favorite shows too. Then another friend of ours came in and asked...Where should I spend my 35Th wedding anniversary?" I said " well, there is only one placeMAY BERRY DAYS in Sept and I'd be proud to go with ..your treat of course." He smiled and said he'd think on it a spell..

Mayberry Moments
I had two Mayberry moments within an hour this morning. First one occurred when I received a phone call from the librarian of the town library where I taught for 30 years. She wanted to know if I would be willing to make an exchange. If I would donate one of my books to the library, she would give me a quart of her home made dill pickles. Now how could I say no to that. Then I had a dentist appointment and my dentist bought two of my books. She wanted one for herself and one for her father-in-law, whose name just happens to be "John Mayberry". So I had to tell her the story of the Mayberry pageant when Floyd was leading the settlers and announced the name of the town to be "JOHN" then "MAYBERRY". Kenneth G.

I had a couple of Mayberry moments this weekend. I sat home watching TV and saw a movie called, "Black Point" in which a criminal type called the Deputy "Barney Fife". Then I saw an episode of Cold Case in which one of the characters mentions Mount Airy. Neither show was all that good, but hearing the TAGS references redeemed them somewhat for me.

I had a Mayberry moment yesterday. I was driving home from visiting my mother and heard a radio station playing Frank Sinatra songs, and they played Chiribiribin.

I got so tickled at Doug Graham's entry about giving all his recruits an A in breathing!!! Kills me... just kills me! It isn't nearly as fun when nobody gets it, is it Doug? But, WE all get it... thanks for sharing that! I can only imagine the blank stares you got! We four at my house are ALWAYS quoting something from the show in reference to a "current event." One of the most used is "I've heard just about enough about that tomato." We say that all the time... about whatever it is we've heard enough about! LOL My husband and our daughters (18 and 19) and I constantly quote lines from the show to each other by way of answering a question or making a comment. It's so fun because we all four know what the other is talking about! Hey, Albert Acevedo... Wally may be out of Huckleberry Smash and Nectarine Crush... but, he has a new one... High Octane Ethyl...

Mayberry Moments
Hello Friends, After being a longtime member of this list, I have decided that it is time to share more about Mayberry with the rest of the world. I have been considering compiling a book of "Mayberry Moments", if I could get enough material. You know, all those situations we observe, quotes we hear, people we see, places we go, etc... that remind us of Mayberry and her citizens. This list would be the best place to start. But first, I would have to know that I'd have enough material. So I'm asking you, my wonderful Mayberry Neighbors, to send to me your Mayberry Moments. If you know others who have quips to share, share this with them. Initially, this is just a fishing trip to see if I could gather enough material. Please send your submissions to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Include your name, city and state if you'd like credit for your submission. I would list all contributor's names with their submissions in such a book.

Mayberry Moments
I sometimes have these Mayberry Moments and usually have nobody to share them with. These two in particular happened to me over the past year and I found them hilarious. Of course, I'm the only one laughing when they occur. I live in the Boston area. First, a group of friends called to get together for food and beverages over the holidays. We were about 8 guys that use to work together. Anyway, after we ate and drank a little, they all decide we're going bowling down the street from where we were dining. I grew up near candlepin lanes and bowled often but this was ten pin with the big balls and I hadn't bowled ten pin in over a decade. Anyway, after being a little rusty in my first string, I try the Howard Sprague approach. Don't I throw 5 or 6 strikes in a row, finish the string with around a 170? I'm yelling "I'm Howard Sprague" and they're looking at me saying, "What the heck is he talking about?" Second, this was one of those "had to be there" moments. I took the wife and kids on a cruise to Bermuda this past summer. We docked in Bermuda for three days. To get to the beaches, we had to jump on a bus. So while stopped at a red light, I look out the window to see three or four guys sitting outside a convenient store who looked pretty roughed up. I felt like standing up on the bus and yelling, "Anyone want to buy a ship in a bottle?" Has anyone out there had any Mayberry Moments lately?
