Paper Ladder

Hi All, Does anyone know how Malcolm Merriweather made that paper ladder out of newspaper for Opie? I have always wondered about that and since I saw that episode the other night it's been prayin' on my mind. Thanks and have a Mayberry kind of day! Jen

Mayberry Moment

I wanted to share a Mayberry moment with all of you that gave me a good laugh. My husband and I were out shopping over the weekend and as we left the store, my husband said that the security guard was looking at him. I told him that maybe the security guard liked him, and he then said Well I am

Betty Lynn

Another Betty Lynn story. My story is from Mayberry Days 2003. Betty Lynn and Maggie Peterson Mancuso were both honorary bridesmaids in my husband’s and my wedding that was part of Mayberry Days. Betty Lynn gave us both a hug after the ceremony and she told us how much it meant to her to be part

We will miss you Harvey Bullock!!!

Marsha thank you for the news about Harvey Bullock. I never did get to met him in person, but what a wonderful kind-hearted man he was. I still have an e-mail that he had sent to me about my wedding, that was part of Mayberry Days in 2003. He e-mailed me to tell me he was awaiting approval from

Clint Howard

Mayberry in the movies.. Was watching the movie Fun with Dick and Jane and it had a great Mayberry tie to it. Clint Howard is in the movie and plays a border patrol cop. At one point in the movie, Jim Carrey (Dick) is trying to look for work with a group of illegal immigrants and they

TAGS Sighting

Had a TAGS sighting over the weekend. I was flipping through some of the movie channels and came across the Mel Brook movie, Life Stinks. I left the movie on for awhile and there was a part where the main character, Mel Brooks meets a bum. The bum caught my attention, there was something about

Luke Comstock

Luke Comstock shot at Andy during that gas station hold-up. Andy shot back and left Comstock's leg game for life. Brad Douglasville, GA Good one Brad!!! I remember Barney asking Andy about Luke Comstock. Barney - Maybe he misses all he fun you had shootin' him in the

Re: Quick and the Dead reflex tests

I wish he'd throw a pomegranate at me, I haven't had my lunch yet. Doesn't quite have the same ring does it??? Thanks for the info on the Quick and the Dead reflex test Albert. I got a good laugh out of that one!!! Jennifer Albert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Due to existing health concerns

One more smell

Hey Ken great list!!! I really enjoyed reading that as I do all of your posts. I have one more smell for you when Andy was telling Opie the story about Romeo and Juliet, he said you can change the name of a rose but you can't do nothin' about the smell Business Confidential:

Barney Fife in Boise, Idaho????

I think Barney is now a police officer in Boise, Idaho... Man hit by truck, then ticketed for jaywalking

[no subject]

Ken's suggestion about writing a book was not a suggestion at all, it was meant to be funny. It's a reference to episode 213: Helen, the Authoress - Helen writes a children's book. The talk about the cover and going wild with pastels. Helen's fancy name change..

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 9, Issue 310

Hey Ken, I like Kenneth Gustavus DuBois too. kind of has a ring to it. Someone suggested that Tom Kessel should write a book about his experiences. I agree completely, but being an experienced author

Wedding Vows and THANKS to Allan

Untrained Voice I just love those wedding vows! I sure would have liked to have them when my husband and I got married in Mount Airy during Mayberry Days!!! We didn't have the whistling theme from the Andy Griffith show for the Wedding March but while viewing the tapes of our wedding, one of them

Heights

Holland, Here's a website that has celebrity heights. It does say Andy is 6 foot. I wonder how tall Andy would be if he used Asa's harness to stretch him out http://www.celebheights.com/s/G.html Jennifer ___ WBMUTBB mailing list

That one made me cry

Joe The Untrained Voice, WOW I just read The Favorite Story Never Told and I just have to say that it was incredible!!! You captured the spirit of the show and the characters so well in your writing that I could picture the whole thing in my mind. It was just like watching an actual

Thanks Allan

Thanks for the wonderful Christmas card Allan!!! My husband and I got a good laugh at the bloopers. When you told Adam he sounded like a robot and you did that monotone robotic voice, it had us rolling!!! We spent the next couple of days saying Merry Christmas to each other like that! Thanks

Book

My husband found something very cool on Amazon.com on New Years Eve. There is a book written by Shari Caudron called Who Are You People? A Personal Journey into the Heart of Fanatical Passion in America. The book needless to say is about various American fanatical passions. Guess what one of the

Twilight Zone Marathon

Dan, I saw some of the TAGS alumni on the Twilight Zone Marathon too. I turned the TV on, turned it to the Twilight Zone and the first person I saw was Howard Morris!!! I watched some episodes here and there throughout the day and I saw one of the guys that was a counterfeiter and I saw professor

David Browning

I forgot to mention, our own David Browning made the cover of the book!!!

Mayberry Daze

We received our Who Are You People? A Personal Journey into the Heart of Fanatical Passion in America book last night and the chapter called Mayberry Daze was really great! I loved the story about the Lady in Red and the trivia contest. The author also had breakfast with David Browning, Kenneth

TAGS-L-versitis Story

Hey Joe, The Untrained Voice Thanks for posting that TAGS-L-versitis test again. I remember that from back in 2003 I loved it then and sure do love it now!!! We sure do have some great posters here in our club. I also remember a great story someone wrote to go with that test. It had the

Club

Hey David, I was wondering about that reality show too. I was wondering if it had something to do with the Wildcats club and Opie being the Keeper of the Flame. I have a feeling we both may be wrong. Jennifer While I was watching today's episode of Andy, I saw a TV Land advertisement for

Thelma Lou and her magic trick

Have any of you ever seen Thelma Lou's magic trick? I've noticed this before and I did again last night. It cracks me up every time I see it (I'm amused easily OK). Now I don't know if this is on the DVD, I've never checked. I'm thinking it's just a result of a scene being cut out on

Thelma Lou's magic trick

Please fill us in about the magic trick? We missed the past few newsletters and need to be filled in, OK? Thanks. Have any of you ever seen Thelma Lou's magic trick? I've noticed this before and I did again last night. It cracks me up every time I see it (I'm amused easily OK). Now

More Magic in Mayberry

Hey Ken you're right, I didn't think about all those other magic tricks going on. Every time I see Jim Linsey playing that guitar I ask my husband how does he get those electric guitar sounds out that acoustic guitar??? curious, curious, curious. I must not be too much of a trained noticer, I've

Beauty Shop

Hi Martha, In the episode where Aunt Bee learns how to fly a plane, there's a scene where Aunt Bee is sitting in the beauty shop reading her aviation magazine. The only reason I remember that is because it was on last night :-) Are there other beauty shop outings? Mostly I

Allan, Thanks for the info on the Otis you see on Google Map. Still pretty cool that the Google people had an Otis standing on the street when they came by to do their street view maps. Jen That is a fellow dressed like Otis but he isn't THE Otis tribute artist, Kenneth Junkin, that folks

Re: Pets

Kirk, Opie had a dog named Gulliver and a bird named Dickey in the first episode, The New Housekeeper. You see the bird in that episode but the only mention of Gulliver is when Opie is saying his prayers. H. makes ya wonder where those two pets went and ran off to. Jen I was
