I did not make up any trivia questions specifically for the game, but have created 2 daily quote/trivia calendar to share with friends and make available to anyone interested at WBMUTBB and figured it would be the Mayberry thing to do to offer it to them as a resource for the game. Scott felt some (I guess you can count hundreds as some) of the trivia can be used for the game and I am glad they can because it was no extra effort on my part. If you are interested in what Scott is working with, you too can download the calendar files at http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/anewsome/private/craftscalendar.htm Remember, if you use the calendar, it might take away from some of the fun of the game because you'll know some of the answers! On a personal note, I consider myself very fortunate to have friends who have the same feelings for TAGS and share their talents like Wally's offers air and water - "no charge" for things like: - - WMBUTBB digest and web page that Allan maintains - - "Them Timers Are Tricky" wav file webpage created by Ron "Emmett" Blankenship - - The largest collection of Andy Griffith Memorabilia at the Mount Airy Visitors Center shared by one of our newest members (and the MAVC is a free facility directed by fellow WBMUTBB member Ann Vaughn.) It is with the same spirit so often displayed on TAGS that these folks share what they can to make the world a little more like our hometown of Mayberry. I don't like to be taken advantage of any more than the rest you, but when it comes to Mayberry, some rewards are greater than materialistic things that have been discussed on the digest. I hope the game makes money for the entrepreneurs willing to take the risk to produce a game that may not sell enough to cover their costs (there are two sides to the coin), but are able to recognize the contributors in some way. That's just my measly little old 3 pennies worth.

With all of the brouhaha about getting recognition and compensation, someone may decide not to approach the club anymore for help on any future projects having to do with The Andy Griffith Show. Now I will go and put the bucket on my head and think of some good questions to submit to the game company. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 19:05:50 -0600 From: "Gloria Bruce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: snacks and such How about some Kerosene Cucumbers? I've made a list of other food too. Meatballs that have vulcanized Apple crumb pie Orange marmalade on salt-rising bread Peanut butter sandwiches (let the guest add things like sardines, bananas, jelly, etc) Spaghetti ( with the secret sauce-oregano) Leg of lamb Fried chicken (with crust) Potato salad Soup beans with cornbread And lots and lots of iced tea ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 19:08:31 -0600 From: "Gloria Bruce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Opie's name Okay, I admit it, I have been reading way yonder too much for my own good. What else is there to do when the gold truck watch duty has been taken over by Laura Lee Hobbs? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 21:06:05 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #91 Id like to auction off my autograph as well.-ill guarantee its authentic,WILLIAM UPCHURCH ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 07:07:01 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: name of Opie >Subject: Opie's name >I was doing some reading on the web today about heroes during the war of 1812, and came across the name of Oliver Hazard >Perry...Could this be where the name came from or am I reading too much into it or just reading too much? It is generally thought that Opie Taylor was named after Opie Cates, a prominent bandleader whom Andy Griffith admired. This was before my time, understand, but I think Opie Cates may have worked on the old "Lum and Abner" radio show. "Opie" could be a nickname for "Opus," which means "work," as in a musical composition (the word "opera" is actually the plural of "opus"). - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 07:09:48 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: snacks >From: "Joe Fly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help!

Got to hurry and get back to the a-thon! I had a revelation while watching the early shows this saturday morning. I Know why, (no matter how much I try, ) that I feel like the color ones just "are not the same" to me! I grew up watching TAGS on its ORIGINAL SHOWINGS all in black and white! We did not have a color tv until I was watching the reruns on tbs. I even watched Mayberry RFD in black and white! Now, I do not feel so badly.... it IS NOT THE SAME FOR ME! FORGIVE this ozarker for giving you all the idea that the color ones were not as good....they are just NOT THE SAME (for me)AS I GREW UP ON! hey, from branson. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 16:04:40 GMT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jeff Krentz) Subject: Re: Mayberry Snacks for the Marathon >Help! >My wife and I are hosting an Mayberry Marathon party tomorrow night,=20 >and she wants to serve some Mayberry-style desserts or snacks. >Any ideas ad/or receipes? I wish I was a fly on the wall at that party. I had to pry myself away from the marathon to head to the office today - tomorrow too. There oughta be a law. Hmmmm - off the top of my head - desserts or snacks, hmmm I'd suggest=20 Rum Cake (don't tell Aunt Bee it's in the house) Baked Alaska (you remember that new desert, right?) Mr. Cookie Bars (afternoon pick-me-up) =46inger Sandwiches (looks like somebody tore your food up in itty-bitty pieces) Pizza - Mozzeralla or Pepperelli (I just love pizza) Meatballs (make sure they aren't dry as dust with breadcrumbs) Pickles (Go wild with Allspice) Groovy Potato Chips (for when Opie's Group starts playing) Shrimp Cocktail (skip this, if you don't want to fill up) Howard's Swinging Grilled Swiss Cheese Sandwiches (And Still they Come!) Apple pie sandwiches (Slice of pie, surrounded by two slices of pie - ask Opie about this one ) Wash that down with a couple of nickel milks. More Sandwiches: Peanut Butter and Bologna, PB and Liverwurst, or Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter. For the traditionalists - there's always Peanut Butter and Jelly (No thanks, Leon) Snails and Brains (You don't want to look like a plain hick, right?) I'm sure there's more - but I need to get back to work here.

I hear they are so good, the foreigners send in spies to learn the recipe. Or how about a hollered out tomato stuffed with avocado? If you are planning on running away from home, you could fix peanut butter and sardine sammiches. Ham loaf and green beans are always a good choice. For a snack, don't forget the homemade pickles! And keep a few Mr. Cookie Bars around for later when you get that sinking feeling. If you are having guests, you could fix spaghetti, but be sure to use that secret ingredient. If you plan on going to the porch later, take some apples and try peeling them without breaking the peel. But the best bet is to go for the pounded steak a la Morelli. And be sure to finish it all off with homemade ice cream or some of Miss Roesmary's blueberry pie. It's gooooooood! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 13:19:56 -0600 From: "Gloria Bruce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Opie's name Now Allan, I knew where Opie's name came from, what Mayberrian worth his beans doesn't know that. I was just seeing if you were paying attention. You definitely passed the history test, so come up front and receive your diploma. Lots of luck to you and yours. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 20:56:01 CST From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Early Marriage for Aunt Bee Re: Aunt Bee having an unhappy early marriage or engagement I've posted a few times in the past how I noticed in several episodes that Aunt Bee (who supposedly had never been married on TAGS, she was always Miss Taylor, Andy's aunt) wore what looked like a wedding band on her left hand ring finger. I even wrote to a couple of our writers asking if they were interested in writing an episode featuring Aunt Bee and I gave them my outline: that she had been engaged to a boy, but her mother forbade the marriage. Bee and her guy were planning to marry anyway, but he was killed before they had their chance, and this caused a bitter strain between Bee and her mother. Andy's family really knew little of this. It was only at Bee's death when the ring was passed to Opie. The family was going through Aunt Bee's things and they found another small diamond ring pinned to the inside of her bed jacket (the one Andy gave her, of course). They couldn't understand this ring and they started the search for more information. This led to old love letters from a boy named Jacob and a heartbreaking letter to Bee from her mother, and talks with old relatives. And finally they found out what Aunt Bee had been carrying inside her all those years. They found that at Bee's mother's death, she had willed her most precious jewel, her wedding band, to Bee along with a letter begging Bee to forgive her. And Bee learned that forgiveness is not giving the person what she deserves, but exactly the opposite--it's giving them what they want and what we need for our own healing. It's letting go our right to be angry or our right "to get even," even if everything tells us we have it coming to us. We let go of it. Move on and heal. Oh, gracious, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go on for so long. I just thought it odd that that's the way I had in my mind as to why I always sensed this sadness about Miss Frances, and now I read where she really did have an unhappy marriage or engagement, although no one knows for sure if this is the actual cause of her emotional problems on the set. I'll take a rest from the Digest. Promise. "That's just how they act when they're pantin' after you." Mr. Darling to his boys when he thought Aunt Bee was after him.
