Subject: What's All This ... ??
Hi All -
I agree with Alan's most recent posting about the direction and focus
the website recently has taken.
This website is NOT the place for us to discuss matters that even border
on the question of 'more serious and/or questionable' morality &
religious issues. Yes, the show is one big morality play in many ways,
and that IS a social issue, but there are books an references where
those topics can and SHOULD be discussed, reviewed, studied, and
resolved.
Personal emailing would solve such issues as well. We here in "Mayberry"
need to keep up appearances by making certain that these 'questionable'
subjects should be resolved or
settled 'outside' of this site.
I read my WBMUTBB looking for the 'picks' and 'faves' of the fans, the
challenges of Mayberry trivia, and highlights of episodes and
characters. There are lines being crossed and we as a 'family' need to
'dispute and settle' these things in private. This is a RARE public
forum where we can relax and find some solice in sharing the wit and
wisdom of a brilliant television show and it's cast - it is NOT a public
forum for wide-open debate. Share your love for the show, share your
favourite episodes,
share ALL the benefits of Mayberry and keep your morality theories to
ONLY what is helpful and beneficial to the good of the community. ACT
LIKE SOMEBODY!

Hey Mayberry Fans! I agree with Allans remarks, Mayberry is our escape from
the day to day problems we all face in today's crazy world. Leave the
religious discussions off this site. Please! Enjoy TAGS for what it was and
remains today! ED

Hey Andy, Hey barn, Hey aunt Bee,
Always enjoy visiting this site...concerning pornograpy:..When Opie, and I
think it was Johnny Paul with whom Opie started a gossip page. At the
landfill, looing for exta copies, Andy spots one of those magazines in which
those girls pose dressed dressed in only thier "alltogethers"...At least
Thetas what I seem remember. Hope that is correct. Have a great day and
"lottsa luck to you and yers..."

Subject: Where Andy lives
I enjoyed hearing that Andy is living securely and while I've never been to
Wilmington I did go inside Danny Thomas' house at the very tippy top of
Mulholland Drive in Beverly Hills. It was 1989 and I was with a friend
delivering a black and white portrait of him. His driveway was long and
windy cobblestone laid in a colorful herringbone pattern. We had to pass
through a very tight security gate that which even Deputy Fife would have
approved. The front foyer was marble and I sat in a Louis XV chair at the
foot of a tall spiral staircase. Danny Thomas came down the staircase
dressed in a silk dressing gown and scarf, and slippers, while smoking a
cigar. My friend was in a wheelchair so he stayed in the van. Danny Thomas
shook my hand, accepted the portrait I brought him and said he would
exchange it for the color live size picture on the wall in his foyer. He
then walked out to the van, greeted my nephew who was driving the van,
climbed inside and sat with my friend for about an hour and just talked.
That's how friendly Danny Thomas was. He sure touched alot of people!

Subject: The Brain
TAGS fans,
I read where recently returned Houston Astros player Moises Alou--who
missed last year with a town ACL--had it replaced with a section of his
patella ligament. I thought that was in the brain!

Subject: Porn in Mayberry
Don't forget about those peek-a-boo blouses that Andy and Floyd read about
when they get a letter from Barn whilst on vacation.... and what about when
Barn suggests Andy take a vacation and go to Florida to one of them resort
places where the bars have those dancers - vav-va-voom! (as he waves his
hands).

Subject: Splice and dice
I got to thinking about that splicing a couple of scenes together, and
I came up with this idea. Now, I probably have the dialogue wrong (heck,
even on my best days I mess that up, so you can imagine what I
do now that I have been without Andy for months and months). So, please cut
me some slack. OK? OK. Appreciate it.
Barney, running for sheriff: "In my briefcase, I have 76 documented cases
of malfeasances. But due to the limitations of time, I will only present
three."
Mr. Darling: "Take a shot at him, Sheriff. You have the right."
It is still my firm belief that of all the classic lines in this show
of shows, my beloved Briscoe got as good as they came.
Take his line, "Get ahold of your deputy, Sheriff, before he gets us all
stoned to death." or, The one when he thought Aunt Bee was flirting with
him, "That's just how they act when they're pantin' after you." I do so
love that man! Comparing Aunt Bee to a panting dog--cracks me up every
time!!
I don't know why the Lord doesn't punish my cable company and send locust
and plagues
upon them until they cave in with our TVLand and Andy. After all, you
never heard me and Lydia complain about all that pornography being shown on
Andy. Course, as dumb as we two are, and considering a fast
lens was used, it probably went right over our heads. But still, even
dumb people deserve Andy! Maybe even more so than the smart and enlighten
ones. Don't you think? But that cable company made a promise, and I'm gonna
see that they keep it! I'm hanging in there like a hair on a biscuit. And
sooner or later, we'll get our TAGS. There's a brighter day a coming. Me and
the Lord's gonna take care of them people. Oh, yeah.
Oh, I forgot to tell you. The kids came back from their honeymoon, and
brought me the best gift. It was a magnet for the fridge featuring Andy,
Barney, Gomer, and little Opie. Half away around the globe, and
I got the best gift in the world! I guess it was the least they could
do since the trip was a gift from Dad and me.
Well, back to doing what I do best. Gold truck watching, and dime store
clerking, and plotting revenge on ComCable. Watch your news, folks, you may
be seeing me after all. Laura Lee Hobbs

Subject: Portland accent
Hello, fellow Leonard Blush fans
The Portland resident who gets the pickles has always interested me, even
before I lived in Portland and the adjacent area for five years.
Barney clearly refers to Oregon license plates, but the driver seems to
offer up a Northeast accent. "That's right, Portland," he says in a
distinctly non-Oregonian tone. Perhaps he missed Barn's line.
Incidentally, the reason Portland, Ore., is named for Portland, Maine, is
because of a vote held in the town years ago. The choices were Portland or
Boston, and Portland won, so that's how it was named. There are some great
burger places called Boston's in the Portland area, however.
Maybe the guy Barn stopped was a former Maine resident who headed west.

Subject: We have Kids here.
Folks,
I just want to remind EVERYBODY here in Mayberry that there are a LOT of kids
that get the WBMUTBB Digest. Some of the topics I've seen discussed the last
several days is really disturbing to me. Y'all just need to think a little
about what you say and how a 10 year old (and some younger) will take it.
There's just some things that men (Andy & Barney) just don't say around kids
(Opie) or ladies ((Aunt Bee, Helen, Thelma Lou...etc). Keep that in mind
when you're making comments about things on the show.
True Detective magazine is the kind of thing I always kind'a pictured
Barney's magazine to be...which is not in the catagory some folks have been
placing it...but even if I'm wrong, do you want to explain that to the
parents who's kids are gonna walk up to them at home and say, "Dad, what's
____ mean?" (You can fill in the blank.)
