I have been wondering for some time about what is meant by driving a car =
with the cut-outs open. They mentioned in one episode about some guy =
doing this and Barney saying that everyone thought he was Lucky Lindy =
back then.

Subject: From Allan: WBMUTBB Digest size
Hey Folks,
I'm working at trying to get the New WBMUTBB Digest to be a good size.
Right now, as you've seen, the Digest is being created fairly often. The
automatic creation of the Digest is done when the number of "lines"
reaches a certain size.
I'm going to try and increase the size limit so you won't get more than
one or two per day. Right now, it's looking like you could be getting
several per day (3 or more) depending on the ammount of traffic we have
here in Mayberry. I don't want to overload any ones mailbox so I'll see
what I can do to trim down the number of mailings you get.
Allan

When we had the 35th annivesary in Winston, I asked Betty Lynn the question
about her job. What was it? She replied that it was never said exactly what
she did, she only knew that she worked in an office.

Hi folks!
I have been a member of WBMUTBB for a few months now, and will never
forget the wonderful welcome messages I received. I was so touched that I
have tried to do the same for other new members with whom I felt I had
something in common. (Allan, I hope thats OK!) I very much enjoy the Digest
and P&P,and I appreciate Allan and all his work. Now, a Question: I know
Barney had 3 different middlenames at various times. What was Andys full
name, and what was Opies?

(author's note: The last section I sent Friday got the end cut off
(probably cause that automatic thing knew I was to windy) so here is the
rest of it. I am going to the send the 4th one right after so they will
be close together. If it gets cut off I'll resend the ending next day)
If you missed the beginning see 11/4 Digest and V1 #1)
Next Scene--Andy Barney and Goober walk in to Walker's Drug Store.
Andy: How-do there Miss Ellie. Well, afternoon Mr. Mayor (Pike) What
brings you out among the citizens this fine day.
Mayor Pike: It's that Stranger in town Andy. Why aren't you out
trackin him down?
Barney: Well! (shaking head) at least somebody else in this
government's got his eye on the wheel!
Andy: Are we agin' visitors Mayor? I thought we wanted tourists in
Mayberry. Is this gonna be another case like that Sawyer fella
that read about Mayberry in the newspaper and wanted to make it his
home town, then the whole town nearly chased him away?
Ellie: Or are we all gonna mistrust the guy like SOME OF US did that
guy who made a record from our local talent?
Barney: OR are we gonna all be takin' in like we were by those people
supposedly filmin' a bank robbery in Mayberry, or those guys that
wanted to give us medals for being crime-free while they robbed the
town blind!
Ellie: (with big teethy smile) OR MAYBE he's a talent scout who sells
shoes on the side.
Mayor: Well Andy? What do you think?
Andy shoves his hands deep in his pockets and rolls his head back
Andy: One thing we know for sure. We Don't know ANYTHING for sure,
and we ain't got a very good record at figuring folks out.
We're just gonna have to sit back and be neighborly, and see
what this fella's up to.
Barney: And poor Floyd's probably tied up somewhere. It's
Barber-Napping, that's what it is, I telll ya,
Barbaric Barber-napping!
Mr. Foley walks in the the Drug Store.
Mr Foley: Peroxide Miss Ellie? Got a cut. (Ellie looks in the cabinet)
Boy that new fella asks alot questions doesn't he?
Barney: You talked to him? Where'd he go? Did he have a body bag?
Andy: Barrrney!
Barney: What wuz he asking about?
Foley: Oh, nothin' special. Just seemed like he wanted to learn alot
about the town. He asked questions about everybody. He said
somethin about some kinda mail. I spose he was gonna stop
by the post office, and then he was goin' over to spend some
time with Sarah.
Mayor: Sarah, the operator? Nobody's ever seen her in person!
What's 'e doin over there.
Barney slaps both hands against his sides, pushes his tongue deep into
one cheek. His head tremors and he raises one finger.
Barney: Are ya happy now Sheriff! Are ya feelin' neighborly now?
He's probably tampered with the US Mail, and now he's over at
Sarah's cutting off communications with the outside world!
DO YA THINK ITS TIME TO BE CONCERNED YET?

The last section!
(Next Scene after the dicussion in Walkers.
Andy and Barney are back at the courthouse as dusk begins to set.
Barney is nervously pacing. Andy is talking on the phone.)
Andy: Uhn-Hunh, Yes...I see. Thats what he talked about? Nice Fella
huh? OK, Thank You...OK, Thanks Sara..You'll call me back
then when he gets back? Yeah, I'll be here.
Andy hangs up the phone.
Barney: "Well? Is he there?"
Andy: "No, but he's been there...and you'll be glad to know that we
still have communications with the outside world. He went
to check in with Floyd she said, and then he was coming back
to finish talkin' to her."
Barney: "To check in with Floyd? He's probably tied up somewhere
and he's just gonna pull the gag out of his mouth long enough
to give him a sip of water...OR POISON!"
Andy: "I've got an idea!"
Barney: "I suppose yer gonna go up to a room at the Hotel and ring for
linens to see if Otis can make it up the stairs er sumthin!
Andy: (chuckling) Well, that would be worth a try. I want you to
go down main street and stop at every store on the street."
Barney; "Yeah and?....Do ya want me to launch into counter measures
in the event of a 602?"
Andy: "No, I want you to do a 'shakedown' of each door to make sure its
locked, and I'll take the squad car and go get a cup of coffee"
Barney: "Boy, your a real Marshall Dillon, you are! Floyd may have cut
his last hair and yer worried about missin your evening coffee.
Why don't you just go drain the water trough so if the crook
makes a run for it, his horse will die of thirst."
(Barney walks out and slams the door...time passes)
(When Barney returns to the courthouse, he immediately notices that
there are two people sitting in the chairs talking to Andy. To his
great relief one of them is Floyd. His great dectective mind tells him
the other one must be the new stranger in town.)
Floyd: "Oh, Hello Barney (chuckling a little) Here am I in one piece!
I understood you thought I was missing, or...or kidnapped or
something. (keeps laughing,turns to stranger) He's a nice man.
He means well. Just gets a little (Floyd gestures with his hand
spiraling upward)... wound up."
(Floyd turns back to Barney)
Barney, this nice fella came to visit with me. He wants to learn
all he can about me, so we went to my house to visit and go
through my Photo albums. He wants to..
(Floyd throws his head back proudly) follow in my footsteps!
(Barney speaking quickly, curtly, obviously a little perturbed)
Barney: "Well, That's fine. Welcome to Mayberry Mr. Newton. But just
tell me one thing. What were you doing talkin to the town
operator?"
(The stranger stands, turns to Barney extending his hand for a
handshake)
"It's a great pleasure to meet you Deputy Fife. Like I was
tellin' Andy and Floyd here. I came here in a time machine.
I'm from 1999. (Barney's eyes get big) This is a wish come
true for me. My name is Allan Newsome, not Newton. I have a
bunch of friends there who I correspond with via Electronic
mail. They all love your guys and this town.
I was askin' Sara what its like being the main communicator
for the whole town. I like to do impressions of Mr. Lawson
here so I just wanted to watch him in person for a while."
Barney (stammering) The what, The future 1999? Electronic Mail?
What do you do, plug your typewriter into hot plate or
something?
Allan: You wouldn't believe it Barney, you just would believe it...
Camera fades out as Barney sits down with Andy Floyd and Allan
for a long visit...Allan's dream of a visit to Mayberry come true.
- --------------------------
Fellow Mayberryites, you should know that the ending of this story
did not change because of the rough weekend our buddy Allan had.
It ended as I started it, as a fun way for me to write a whole show
outline and incorporate Mr. Newsome to thank him for indulging my
crazy stories. Sorry I took up so much space. I know at least one
person was waiting for the ending so I sent the rest all today. Joe
