First, I want to welcome all the new digest members. Just jump in where you can and hang on!
Second, do you suppose that Paul's dish (sorry I can't remember more specifically) was crashed into when Barney and Mr. Weaver were chasing each other around the department store in The Shoplifter? I think Mr. Weaver crashed into a punch bowl set. Third, I'm glad the theory dan inherited from his maiden aunt is not a hungry fox coming down out of the hills. I don't think it would like being kept in a box on his desk. Fourth, how about renting out big billboards in the L.A. area with a picture of Mr. Schwamp with a "do you know this fellow" caption? He must have had some family members. Or we could hand out flyers and maybe put an ad in Opie's newspaper. Or we could put ol' J. Edgar on the case. (We defy the mafia! Do you suppose Mr. Schwamp went into some kind of witness protection program? After all, he was a witness to the rock throwing, paper napkin soaking crime spree of Ernest T.) Hey! I guess I have theories too! What fun! Fifth, I love Brenda Jo's movie list and wish I were creative enough to think of some. The only one my desperate mind could come up with would be based on my very favorite movie, Harvey. We could call it Schwampy and it could be about a man who has a friend that no one else can see. The friend could have extra hands and jingle when he walks around in the trees. Pretty pathetic, I know. The alternative would be Cool Hand Schwamp trying to break out of the Mayberry jail. And finally, since we are currently in our January thaw, I went out for a long walk today. I saw some random bricks in different yards and immediately looked around for Ernest T. I didn't see any broken windows so I guess the snowplows must have put them there. I also saw a football in a yard and wondered if Opie and the gang had been practicing. It's amazing what one can find when the snow melts!
