Gavin McCloud
Hello Fellow Maberryites! I have been a long time subscriber and reader of this board, but this is my first postso here goes. Has anyone else found it an odd coincidence that Gavin McCloud was involved in the black and white episode of the first mention of "Sheriff Without a Gun" when he posed as a movie producer that came to Mayberry with two others with the intent to make a movie about our beloved sheriff. They turned out to be bank robbers. He was also in the color episode later on (with comical toupee) starring as Sheriff Taylor when the movie was actually filmed in Hollywood. Makes ya think!

Pocket Watchers and Barney-"isms"
Ok, now you all have me pocket watching as well. I think Barney must have been a closet smoker. It probably all started when he would strike matches for his daddy's pipe when he was a kid. Anyway, here are a few more Barney-"isms" for you to consider: pepperelli for pepperoni compelsions for compulsions inovert for introvert Smith Brothers Institution for Smithsonian heeliocopter for helicopter kleptomenerac for kleptomaniac Einsteen for Einstein inarculated for inoculated extra-sensitive perception for ESP schizofreeniac for schizophrenic nave for naive fire by constriction for for my combustion viz-a-viz for vis-a-vis ("you know--hand to hand") boodoor for boudoir Sigmund Frude for Freud demore for demure noblesse oblage for noblesse oblige theraptic for therapeutic I'm sure there may be more...perhaps the complete list is stuffed into the wrapper on his pack of smokes or engraved into his zippo.

Ruta Lee on High Rollers
OMG! I thought I was the only one who remembered that game show. Didn't you have to remove numbers from a board when you threw the dice? I hope you got to keep your prizes and didn't have to sell them to pay the income taxes.

"Skitsominerack"
>>> I believe Barney used the word "Skitsominerack" when warning Andy that >>> Aunt Bee's imaginary boyfriend could be a bad guy. Kim - Wylie, TX <<< I think that you mean "Cleptomenerac", that's a person that has a "compelshun" to take items that don't belong to him. You find "compelshun nuts" everywhere.

Barney/Don smoker?
>>>Recent posts on zippo lighters and "smoker's bulge" has me watching pockets now! But let me make this assertion: I don't believe Barney was a smoker.<<< In my previous post, I indicated that the character of Barney obviously wasn't a smoker due to his inability to smoke a cigarette without coughing and wheezing (to comic effect). I did ask whether anyone knew if Don Knotts was a smoker in real life, as this would be the only logical explanation for the persistent bulge in Barney's shirt pocket, but no one has answered that question. So, does anyone know if Don was, indeed, a smoker? I only ask out of sheer curiosity. His smoking status either way would not affect my high admiration for the man!

Favorite Dessert
While I'm a cake man myself, Aunt Bee apparently could whip up a pretty good apple pie. It was mentioned as Opie's favorite in the episode where he was banned from the jail and ended up on the apple truck. What other desserts did Aunt Bee serve up? dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
off a while
Hi, gang!! We will be leaving in the morning for Hi-wa-yer. We are going to Honolulu and spending most of the time there, but on June 4 we will take a flight to Midway Island for the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, turning point of the War in the Pacific. That was my favorite duty station while in the Navy and this July 19 will mark 50 years since I arrived on that little island!! Have a Mayberry time while we are gone and I will be back on with you after our trip. We will be back June 9 but it may take a couple days to get in the swing of things and get back on. Aloha to all of you!!
