RE: Christmas card 2010

Allan, thanks so much for this year's edition of the e-card from the Newsome family. I enjoy it every year. That was some fine singing you did there, Allan. I didn't know you had such a high roof to your mouth! Merry Christmas from the Blond from a Bottle, Sue Grigsby Did anyone ever tell you

My apologies!

I just sent a message to the digest, replying to Brad's posts about Mayberry, WV. Unfortunately, I hit send too quickly and forgot to delete the message I was replying to (the entire digest email)! So sorry! Theresa/Sue Grigsby ___ WBMUTBB

Mayberry in WV

Brad/Neil Bentley, you pose an interesting question. I was born and raised in WV, but had never heard of a Mayberry in WV myself. Well, as Opie would say, it was preying on my mind. I used mapquest to see if there was a Mayberry. Mapquest didn't find a Mayberry, but it did find a Mayberry Run.

RE: Actual towns

Actually, Sabraton was mentioned by Barney once, not Saverton. Sabraton is a suburb of Morgantown, WV, which is Don Knotts' hometown. Sue Grigsby My hometown is the greatest place I know... -Original Message- Wasn't there a Saverton mentioned when Aunt Bea(e) had to go there once to

My Mayberry moment

Today, I was driving home from work, when my 16-year-old daughter called. She informed me that our house had been broken into! She wasn't home at the time, and I was only about 10 minutes from the house. When I got home, I inspected the damage. My back door out to my deck has a large window in

But did you at least ask her to sing Down in the Valley before you dismissed her?? Sue Grigsby Sing another one, Pa! True story: ? Yesterday I was in court picking a jury, and one of the potential jurors was named Peggy McMillan. Furthermore, she was a nurse too! I chuckled under my breath,

RE: Odd Facts Known By Few...Mayberry Bowl Connections

Another interesting fact about that particular bowl game...Andy's Alma Mater (UNC) will be playing against Don Knotts' Alma Mater (WVU). I'll be rooting for the Mountaineers! Sue Grigsby Can I have the sports section? I want to see how the Mayberry Bears did last night. -Original

RE: Missing Digest Issues

Aunt Bee, I have also experienced missing digests. However, I don't realize I've missed one until I see a reply to a previous post that I didn't remember reading. I don't pay that close attention to the issue numbers, and I delete the emails after I read them. I can't be of much help to you

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 9, Issue 223

I'd have to say my favorite season is Season 4. The reason I pick that season is because of the pairing of Barney and Gomer in several story lines. Of course, that came about due to Howard McNear's illness, but there were several very funny episodes as a result. Going back to the favorite quotes

RE: the pip

Regarding the definition of the pip. Several years ago, mailing list members could submit a question to Harvey Bullock and he'd answer it (via Allan as a go-between). I asked that very question (What is the pip?). Mr. Bullock kindly answered and basically said that the pip was a term that came

RE: Bannertown

Your son's a lucky man to be living in such a wild, wonderful state (LOL)! I was born and raised in WV, now live in MD. I still think it's one of the prettiest places in the country. Parnell Rigsby lived in Bannertown. He was the fella who lost his wallet, and Opie found it. I think the

Also, it's a little known fact that Jean Carson is also from Morgantown. Sorry, Rod, but Jean Carson is from Charleston, WV. On another note, thanks for posting that particular quote from Ernest T Bass, Allan. That's one that usually gets edited out when aired on TV. Sue Grigsby Another

RIP Earle Hagen

I heard on the local evening news this evening that Earle Hagen passed away on Monday. What a musical talent! I'm sure he's accompanying Barney on good ol' 14A! Here's a link to an obituary http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-me-hagen28-2008may28,0,3791913.story Sue Grigsby Well,

Thanks, Allan, for posting a test message. I was about to send a message to the digest myself, just to see if I received it. Hopefully, my note of thanks will make it into the digest! Sue Grigsby ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

RE: The Incredible Mr. Don Knotts

I think the book The Incredible Mr. Don Knotts sounds like it will be a fascinating read. I hope Weaver's will be able to carry it when it's published. Also, thanks Allan, for your tireless work in getting everything back to normal in digest-land. It looks like everything is OK in Mayberry!

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 9, Issue 113

Paul, I respectfully disagree. I check my personal email several times a day from work, and I use a web browser to do so. I am sporadically receiving digests, and they aren't appearing on the web view OR my email client on my home PC. I think the server has a hitch in its get-along. Sue

What she said!

It makes me wonder if, as Andy aged, maybe his whole personality changed some as displayed in the color shows and in Matlock. Or maybe it's just the actor in the man! After all, I don't think anyone would accuse Andy of being like Lonesome Rhodes (from A Face in the Crowd) in real life. It

I've been reading all the comments about how Andy's personality is different in the color shows of TAGS, and thinking about the situration. If anyone watches the reruns of Matlock, as much as I do, they will notice that if things don't go the way Matlock wants them to, he can show a
