When you are thirsty, do you have a "pop" or do you have a "soda"? Oh no, not THIS again! For you new folks, this question came up two or three years ago, and for what seemed like six months, the entire digest was crammed with messages about the different names for soft drinks. Let's stay on topic here, folks! - --Paul P.S.

Actually, Andy and Barney are said to be cousins in 3 early episodes: "The New Housekeeper," "The Manhunt," and "Runaway Kid." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 15:28:49 -0500 From: "Daniel Burkeen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Hip Hop I guess I do not understand marketing. Can anyone explain the strategy of TVLand running the long commercial for Hip Hop or Rap or whatever it is, right between TAGS and Leave it to Beaver? Are other TAGS fans into that "music?" I watched the commercial closely, and Bobby Fleet was not mentioned even once. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 15:32:44 -0500 From: Lee Grant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Thelma Lou's secret life A lot of folks have spent a great deal of time wondering what Thelma Lou did for living. Once when she attended a film festival here in Memphis, she just winked to the crowd and reminded everyone that she had a nice home and a deputy on the side. Well, last week I uncovered solid evidence of her past - she was none other than a Bubble Dancer. After years of searching for the video "Father Was A Fullback" I finally came across a copy and was able to watch Thelma Lou operating under the name of Constance Cooper - the teen-age daughter of Fred MacMurray and Maureen O'Hara. Constance spent her time writing to Confession magazines in hopes of being published. Her career finally takes off when a magazine publishes her story entitled "I Was A Child Bubble Dancer" which tells of how when her parents were asleep she would sneak off to a local night club and perform her exotic bubble dance. It is a hilarious movie and one I recommend for Betty Lyn's performance alone. She is right cute in the movie as is her little sister, a very young Natalie Wood. Now I know why Thelma Lou looked so at home on the dance floor. It's me, it's me, it's Lee in Tennessee. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 22, 2000 2:21 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: wbmutbb-digest V2 #152 > > ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 15:38:12 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "pop" or "soda" Someone brought up the age-old question of whether it's a bottle of "pop" or "soda". All depends on where you were raised (or is that "reared?"). In east Texas we always called it a coke, even if it was really an RC (pronounced ROC), Pepsi or some other cola. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 21:05:48 GMT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jeff Krentz) Subject: Re: Quoting the Digest (It's not Dirty) >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Welcome to Mayberry and Happy Motoring! > >Hey ya'll !!! Say, did anyone besides me get a copy of the V2#150 digest >along with #150? Weird, I thought I was having some of that de'ja vou >stuff. I think we all got it. Usually it's caused by somebody hitting "Reply" in their mail reader and accidentally quoting the entire digest back to the digest itself. This is what Allan is talking about when he puts this message at the beginning of the digest: >Please do not quote the entire WBMUTBB Digest >when you reply to this issue. - List Manager By the way, and to put some list members minds at ease, that isn't a personal message based on anything you may or may not have done. Just like a uvula, everybody has that message at the heading of their digest. >When you ask me not to quote the entire wbmutbb, what do you mean. If = I'm=20 >doing something wrong, let me know because I love your site!! > >------------------------------ Most mail readers allow you to edit what you are quoting back to your reply messages. Back when Allan used to do the list by hand, he could chop off your quotes himself. Make the same mistake now, and you risk getting a "rude" in front of everybody.

When you are thirsty, do you have a "pop" or do you have a "soda"? << I grew up in Ohio, and we always said "pop". However, when I moved here to Ga. they all laugh at me when I say it. They never even heard of it, they all say "soda". It's just all part of the rich pageantry of life I reckon. Kail "Some kind of a nut!"

When you are thirsty, do you have a "pop" or do you have a "soda"? We always called it "pop" too - grew up in a small town in Illinois. But when I married my ex-husband, (he was from Peoria) he laughed at "pop" and insisted that "soda" was correct. >> Hey To All! I am a firm believer that it depends on where you are from and where you live now to what you would call what you drink and what someone else may call it. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio and I always called it pop but I have heard it called soda between Cleveland and Nashville (where I am living hopefully temporarily). Down here most everybody calls it Coke when they order their beverage, reguardless of whether it is Coke or a Coca Cola product or Pepsi! If it is pop or soda...they seem to want to refer to it as Coke! Pondering further...isn't soda and pop from the same origin? Soda pop? Back to my Monday inventory of Aunt Bee's pickle stash!

If you ask for a coke even if they serve Pepsi they'll know what you mean. I remember my grandpa refer to them as Sody pop.

You can drop by and check it out if you'd like. http://mayberry.com/tagsrwc/ It came from http://www.liketelevision.com/web1/classictv/andyg/ and if you have a high bandwidth connection...you can watch 16 different episodes of TAGS ONLINE!!!! It's great!! Allan ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 19:55:28 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #152 There's talk about Barney and Andy being cousins. It WAS mentioned in the first episode, but I don't recall it ever being mentioned again. There were other fallacies in the show. Andy's home address changed a lot. It was Elm street but the number was 3 different addresses depending on the episode! There's also a discrepancy of Goober. In his first appearance, he was introduced by Andy as Goober Beasley, but from then on as Goober Pyle. Andy's age was questionable. In a few episodes he talked about being in the Army during WW II, like when he broke up the feuding families and told them he learned some french during the war. Then when they had the reunion, it was after the big war. Oh well, every episode still ended with all being right in Mayberry. 8^) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 18:00:25 -0700 From: "Mary Giesbrecht" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: bed making Hello folks! I was just watching the episode where the relatives come to stay at Andy's house. When Andy and Aunt Bee are getting the bed ready, they make it up in a way I've never seen before. They put the pillows more to the center and then flip them over. Is this an "Andy way" to do this, or do other people make beds like this too? I've never seen it before. Just curious.

It was always a "coke" down in southeast arkansas where I was born and raised. We laughed at people (yankees) that called cokes "pop", and we wondered about people that called "cokes" cola. Of course, in that part of the country, EVERYTHING was called a coke! Mainly because Pepsi was not as easily found. Of course, we called a grape-ette and orange crush that; but, if it looked like a coke, and tasted like a coke (rc or royal crown or pepsi) it was a "coke". ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 18:37:13 PDT From: "Ben Young" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [none] hi...i'm from alabama and i love TAGS! i have always been a baseball "freak" and when i was about 9 years old i was watching the show one day and it was the one where Opie is playing baseball and Andy is conned into being the umpire. For some reason, I had to leave, so i didn't get to finish watching the show...from then on, i was dying to see the rest of the show, but it never came on...after waiting for several years, i finally got to see it again but havn't seen it since...is it just me or is it sort of a "lost episode"? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #153 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
