Several months ago I changed my screensaver at work to read "Boy, giraffes are selfish!" Not even one person could figure out what it meant. Sometimes I feel so alone in my love of the show. Sure are glad to have my friends at the digest!

Look at Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, and the supposed tensions of Betty White and Beatrice Arthur. Who could imagine Laverne & Shirley or The Golden Girls not loving each other? Getting back on the subject, does anyone know if and when TV Land will repeat the Andy (and for that matter Honeymooners) special? We JUST got TV Land when they STOPPED showing them! Grrrr! Any help would be appreciated. - -Josh ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 14:05:03 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #145 One of my all-time favorite lines is "Let's not pick our peaches before they're fuzzed up good...! (Andy) Oh, and anybody know EXACTLY where the petulla oblangato is? (Also how to spell it?) Happy Mother's Day everyone! Have you called your mother yet? :) ------------------------------ Date: 14 May 00 11:22:46 PDT From: Andrew Szym <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [wbmutbb-digest V2 #145] Greetings; I'm wondering if anyone has addresses for Betty Lynn and Don Knotts...or at least sources of contact. I'd like to get autographs from them, as I'm an avid collector. Please let me know. Thanks. _________________________________________________ Andrew Szym, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://marytylermooreshow.simplenet.com "A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants." _________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 16:36:41 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mother's Day Wishes & other comments Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there on the digest. And special warm wishes to those ladies out there who have never been biological mothers but who do a whole lot of mothering despite the fact! Just like Aunt Bee! First I'd like to say that I often quote TAGS in my every day life. Every party is an occasion to say "I think I'll go over there and check out those cool potato chips!" With giraffes being the mascot of the school I work for, I often mention that "Giraffes are selfish". I enjoy coming home from work and asking my husband to guess what happened today. When he says "What?" I say "I can't tell ya!" At work as I read the instructions on a juice mix that says 5:1 ratio, I say out loud, "Poor Horatio!". Most of the time, I am met with blank stares but once in a while I will happen upon a kindred spirit. Just last week in school when a discipline problem was being discussed, I said it should be nipped in the bud and another staff member said "Yeah , most experts are in favor of bud nipping!" Oh one more quote I use alot is when I see a teacher loading their plate with food..."It does my hart good to se a thin person eat!" About Mayberry fashion...I love the fashion sense of that era! I love hats and wish they were back in style. Hats on men too! Nothing looks more dapper than a fine chapeau when your fella's wearing the old salt & pepper! At Easter time not only did we get a new dress, hat and gloves, we also got a new spring coat! Usually something lightweight that matched our frock! You wouldn't be caught dead in church wearing slacks and if you were flying on a trip, you wore your Sunday best for the journey. Now most folks look like schlubs coming through the airport terminals! And I for one though Thelma Lou and Helen looked smashing in their shirt-waist dresses! Again, I salute all the moms and mother figures out there on the digest!!! ~MissPoovey, the baddest mother of them all~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 17:23:35 -0500 From: "Michael L. Jackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry movie I know the talk about a hypothetical Mayberry movie has died down, but I did have one thought about it recently. I would support such a project if, and only if, Ron Howard were in charge of it. I would trust him to do it justice. Something tells me he would not attempt it though. mike jackson ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 21:13:07 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: tags on the air Hey everybody, To all you folks out there who get TVland, consider yourself lucky. Our cable carrier dosn't carry tags. Good thing I've got several tags on tape from when tbs aired them. I never knew a man what could pack a sick jackass three miles had to. Ernest T. Bass here, ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 22:25:50 -0400 From: "Jeff Koontz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Using Don Knotts to deceive I was watching the Johnny Bravo Mother's Day Marathon this afternoon on the Cartoon Network and in one episode he says, "Say, isn't that Don Knotts behind you?" and the elephant gets excited, "Don Knotts?! Don Knotts?!" and turns around, then Johnny escapes. When the elephant realizes what has happened, he says, "I hate it when people use Don Knotts to deceive me." It was too funny. Jeff "Do the monkey with me" Koontz ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 16:02:00 CDT From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mr. Darling, My Fav For Crystal who wrote that Mr. Darling was one of her favorites, and she loved his line, "I can take some cleaning up and I can take some fixin' up, but I ain't about to be beat to death with no spoon," but she wondered why she never saw it quoted here, (You must REALLY be new to the Digest, Crystal) that's maybe because I quoted it to death this past winter, and we have a lot of good writers here who sure hate to get repetitive--but, since getting repetitive never upset me much, I'll just bring it out again, OK? Well, OKay. And since we're speaking of our darling person, how about "Pearly onions twang my buds"? Or, what about, (this is another personal fav of mine) He and his boys talking about Ernest T. who has just gone off into the woods to "shoot a Mockingbird," Mr. Darling relates this information to the Sheriff and his Deputy and Andy, of course, is horrified, and then Mr. Darling says, something like, "He's one of the worst we got. Me and the boys thought about killing him, but we kinda hated to take it that far." He says it with the straightest face in the world. But then, he says everything with the straightest face in the world. That's why I love him so. Not a note of pretension in that entire beautiful body of his, and make no doubt about it, that man is beautiful. And, then there's, "Sheriff, you want to get ahold of your Deputy before he gets us all stoned to death?" B U T, my most favorite line that ever came out of his mouth, and to this day I can't believe this show even let him say it, 'cause let's not mince words here, good people, what this man did here was to compare Saintly Aunt Bee, who did all things wonderful (except she could kill you with her pickles and let's not forget her marmalades--it may take the marvelous epilogues to reminds us of them, but we mustn't forget the deadly marmalades, either). But when our Briscoe was a guest in her home, and he mistakenly confused her politeness with flirting, and he looked over at his boys (and no matter what else, didn't you always know this was a man who loved his family?) and he said, "You see that, boys. That's just how they act when they're pantin' after you," I nearly lost it as a kid, and I nearly loose it every time I hear it now. I couldn't sit though the "Prisoner of Love" episode, but I loved this comment. The difference? I don't know. I'll let Crystal handle it from here. I know only that I loved him, and his face, and the fact he appreciated beautiful music, and he could be silly and yet he could cry, and he could make me laugh and cry all at the same time. And any man that can do that is worth his weight in gold trucks. I know because I have one I keep around here some place.
