Subject: Opie and the fish
Hello All,
Would like to know if my memory is on the blink. I
recall that when the show opens Andy and Opie are heading for the
fishing hole. Opie throws a rock in the water. So Far So Good. Now ~ I
remember when the show closed Andy and Opie were walking back down the
path and Opie was carrying some fish. If you watched real close you
could see Opie let go of a little string to make the fish fall to the
ground. I haven't seen that "close" for years. Anybody have an idea what
happened to it ??

Subject: Take me out to the ball game!
I was driving by our local stadium this weekend (Atlanta Braves AA) when I
saw the our new marquee (a true electronal marvel) advertising opening day
next week. "Blah, blah, blah, flash, flash, flash..........the Mayberry
Deputy." I almost ran off the road! I had noticed in the promotions for
this year that The Mayberry Deputy was scheduled for later in the year and
David had notified me he was actually going to be here twice this year, and
he got Opening Day! There's just one word for this...........and you all
know what it is.

Subject: Line of the Weekend
Now our glorious writers gave many of our characters unforgettable lines,
but I gotta believe that the winner in the ratio of memorable lines to
total lines has to go to Briscoe Darling. A couple of quick classics and
I'll shut up. "Thought about killin' him, but hated to go that far." And
my personal favorite: "I ain't about to be beat to death with no spoon!"

recall him ever wearing a striped tie?
>Ken
Barney was known to work in disguise from time to time, like when Doc Malloy
was held in the Mayberry jail. He's also appeared in local plays, so
perhaps he keeps other types of ties to wear with his costumes and/or
disguises.

As keeper of these here pickles of Aunt Bee's, I also keep her recipe and
believe them to be dill kerosene pickles! Her recipe doesn't call for sugar
in her canning process.
I own a copy of the book "Aunt Bee's Mealtime in Mayberry". On page 40, she
"lends" us the recipe. The recipe states that Aunt Bee just adds a "pinch of
allspice" for "good luck". She used cloves, onion, peppercorns, cucumbers,
cider vinegar, cold water, salt/brine, bay leaves and parsley. Then added
that pinch of allspice for good luck.
Now if our dear Aunt Bee went overboard with the brine, the salt alone and
even on top of the cider vinegar would give you puckerpower and a sordid
kerosene taste! Maybe she either added extra brine or an extra pinch of
allspice for more good luck since she was entering her pickles?
Still Keeping My Eye On Aunt Bee's Pickles,

Subject: save the scobey fund episode
I was watching the above mentioned episode and saw a part that I haven't
before. It the part where Opie comes with a bag of stuff he wanted to
contribute for sale for the fund-raising. In it was a pair of sunglasses
with one lens missing. It looked like the pair of sunglasses on display in
Walker's drugstore. Both pairs had a lens missing. Did anyone else catch
this?

Why I'd be as proud as punch to join you on duty and hitch my wagon up to
your shining star of success. I do, however, have fair sensitive skin so
I'll just put on an extra heavy layer of sunscreen.

Hi Gang---
Wow, after a weekend of e-mail server problems, its nice to get a bunch
of digests all at once, LOL. How many of you are like me today,
dragging from the late hours of TVland viewing. Their free clock
download is really cool.
Oh, the census takers are roaming the streets of Mayberry today, so when
those federal dollars come rolling in, look for more blasing out by the
highway!
Welcome "publicly" to all the new members. Jump in and get crazy with
the rest of us.

Subject: Great Weekend!
What a great weekend the marathon gave us! I am Mayberry mellow this Monday
morning.
I don't remember ever seeing the epilogue to "Crime Free Mayberry" before.
What a SCREAM!! "Oh, my Barney, oh, my Barney, / had a jail and couldn't
lock it. / Had one bullet for his pistol, / had to keep it in his pocket."
I broke up so hard that my son came running from the other end of the house
to check on me.
I notice that TVLand numbers the episodes differently from our standard
list, which goes in the order they were filmed. I assume TVLand is going by
the order of original air date--am I right? It causes me a little confusion
when I try planning ahead to tape episodes I don't have yet.
(Thanks, Allan, for the "white beans" quote of the day. That's one of my
favorites!)

Hello all~
I am sure we would all agree the Fandemonium Marathon was great! Brings back
memories of Super Bowl Sunday marathons with Andy. And since I am strolling
down memory lane, I have a story I'd like to share with you all. Three yrs.
ago on Super Bowl Sunday, I was in the Bahamas. While most of the hotel
watched and cheered the game from the Sports Bar, I was up in my room, having
the time of my life, watching TAGS! That was a special Andy memory. Anyone
else has an interesting story about finding TAGS while traveling?
Also wanted to mention, I am traveling to NC next month, and plan to stop in
Mt. Airy. Any tips on what to see? Please email directly, I'd appreciate it.

Subject: rerun--for non-TVL fans
Well, what a week for TVL subscribers, but I was ever so mindful this
weekend of those who do not get our
latest favorite channel, and for you I am rerunning one of my favorite
submissions to the Digest (below)
regarding not getting THE show for a while.
I loved the special Inside Mayberry or whatever it was called. So good to
see Harvey Bullock (who
sometimes reads theses driveling). I'm not sure when that interview took
place, but dear friend and renowned
writer you looked good, and spoke well. It was good to see Jim Clark, Neal
Brower, Phil Lee, and
glimpses of David Browning...but where was "the other Floyd" super-cyber
Allan Awesome Newsome???
He was probably already booked for a big-time performance.
I didn't get to see many of the shows, as my kids had soccer all
weekend. They never had soccer in Mayberry,
but during that time, it was probably just for Englishsters like
Malcom....Reminds me of my favorite
mystery/omission; not so much of a bounce of a basketball in 249 episodes,
(mentioned once as a gift) and look
at how the North Carolina Tar Heels play basketball now.
OK, for you who don't get THE show from cable of satellite, here's some
medical history on myself, so watch out.
(for those who saw it before, hope you don't mind a little rerun)
I'm gettin pretty weak now. I haven't had my pills for days thanks to
that new silly lady druggist. I haven't had my Mr. Cookie Bar, and I
think my clock in my stomach is about to go off. I have low sugar-blood
content you-know. I'm wirey, but I'm high-strung..my Mother was like
that too ya know! I can't lift my arms up over my head neither. I need
a back massage, Down and Around Down and Around Down and Around.
I'm depressed over the death of a friend. I need a little Indian Elixar
to pick me up, put a bounce in my step and warmth in my human heart. My
blood pressure is weak (am I gonna pull through?) and I need my tonsils
taken out. I shoulda had that flu shot when that County Nurse wanted to
stick me. I'm ailin' real bad now. I'm breakin out in what my Doc
calls
Chronic Mayberry Withdrawal
followed by spells of FifenPyle Deficiency.
These cable companies are to blame! Can't they work
somethun out for a few months? I going to Mt Pilot tonight to the
hospital for a VCR tape infusion. If I don't get better they may have
to transfer me to Raleigh! Be careful folks, I hope it's not
outrageous, I'd hate for any of you to catch it.
Here are the symptoms:
1) You turn on the TV and there's nothin but garbage on.
2) The Only Barney you can find is a wacky purple dinosaur.
3) The only thing close to Opie in the listings is Op-rah.
4) You call the cable company and ask about Andy, and they say he's
in Branson performin with those Osmond boys again..unless you mean
the Taxi guy, Latka, and he's dead.
5) You think you hear whistlin' but it's really just the wind outside.
6) You think you see rock skippin' but it's just your son with the
remote channel skippin'.
7) You look in your rearview mirror thinkin' you see a squad car and..
well it really is a squad car, but he ain't pullin you over to give
you no pickles.
8) You stop for a bottle of pop at a gas station and they rush you off for
loitering.
9) You have a urge to sit on the front porch and do nothin', but you
realize that you ain't got a porch, and people driving by think
your weird standin' out front with a guitar.
10) You Dial "O" and ask for Sarah, but some machine keeps askin ya
silly questions like "What City please?"
Have you got it too?? Oh No! It's an Epideral! Get me am injunction!
What's the Andy-dote? Call Doctor Pendyke and get us some Salve!
This is serious!
