Are other TAGS fans into that "music?" >> Hey To All, Are you speaking of the commericial where they have all these verious people singing Me...Meee...Meeeeeeee...Me.....Meeee?? Something music.com?? This really jingles my nerves and I can hardly watch it. It does nothing for me in my TAGS watching or my trip down memory lane while I am watching the halfhour of TAGS and even the halfhour of the Beave. The only thing I can think of that would kind of relate is that I am sure that TVLand would like to pull in as much watchers market as possible. Of course just on the TAGS name alone, we will tune in. Maybe it is a marketing goal of some sort to pull in today's young people. If they play it....they will come! Except it is played over and over and over, sometimes being even played back to back. TVLand did this with TicTacs during the "China Beach" marathon. We would see this lady eat a kazillion TicTacs and her this Music something.com commercial. Kind of gets annoying since there isn't any variety and we all know variety is the spice to life. Since it does nothing for my trip down Mayberry Memory Lane nor does it enhance the show (and I KNOW there has to be commercials of some kind)....just "Nip It!" "Nip It In The Bud Now!" Okay please pass Opie's piggy pank as this was my two cents worth.

But Andy's show always beat them all to pieces. Here-s something I always wondered - the only time I ever saw an African-American in Mayberry was the one where Barney was trying to give Andy a ride in the side car of his motorcycle. Who was he, anybody know? Did he have any lines? Also - remember the Dukes of Hazard show? I never liked it that much - I remember some critic who once said, "Andy would NEVER have let the Duke boys get away with speeding through town like that." Comments, anybody? Gotta go, play-offs are on. Go Blazers!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 20:01:56 -0700 (PDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (SHERIFF GOOBER) Subject: Sheriff Hege has Mayberry Squad Car. Hi Mayberrians If you look at www.hegecountry.com and go into the gift shop, and click on the "This ain't Mayberry and I ain't Andy" poster you will see the Mayberry squad car behind Sheriff Hege's spider car. Sheriff also says if you are ever in Lexington NC stop by the Davidson County Jail and see him. Hege has a show on Court TV "Inside Cellblock F" which is live every thursday nite at 11:30 pm EST. and invites viewers to come see him. If you writ to Hege, he will write you back as well. I'm not sure where Sheriff Hege got the car, but is one of the ones maybe used in the TAGS show. Andy and Barn used to carry 12 Gauge shotguns in their hayday. Hege carries an MP-5 Sheriff Goober ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 23:18:00 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #153 I think I've been guilty of two things - opening up the Pandora's box of the great Soda/pop controversy. But give me a break, Paul - three years ago, when the subject first came up, I was still tryin' to program my VCR. And confession #2 - I think I've been guilty of "quoting entire digest" - I"ve been hitting Reply button - was that bad? I'm trying a different way this time - sending it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Will it work? Only one way to find out! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 May 2000 00:12:22 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #153 In a message dated 05/22/2000 23:00:05 Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << << I have a TAGS-related question. When you are thirsty, do you have a "pop" or do you have a "soda"? >> If I'm not mistaken, I remember Andy talking to Opie and he called it a "sodie pop". I know some "old timers" in Maine that still call it "seltzer"! How 'bout that! Dale B.

What I meant to say was the Morrison sisters. Oh well, maybe I have been making too many trips out to Jubil Foster's barn! "Let Andy make the scene!"

When they're doing the stamina portion of the test and hopping on one leg, there is a continuity problem. In one of Otis' closeups, he is leaning to the wrong side to the on the foot shown in the long shot. Another thing about that scene. Barney gives Otis instructions to start on his left foot, but Barney starts on his right. This synchronizes them and makes it a face to face contest. If they would have both started on the same foot, they would have been opposite each other and the whole thing would not have been as funny. I wonder who figured that out? Follow me..............heyyyyuuuppp! dan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 May 2000 07:59:27 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Suzanne Burgess) Subject: Vote Hey, ya'll, just received my June issue of Biography magazine. They have a mail in ballot to pick Your Favorite TV Characters. You can pick 10 female characters and 10 male characters. Guess who will be at the top of my list of male characters? Who else, but good ole Don Knotts. If they had put Andy on the list too I don't know what I would have done. I'd have been in a quandary or is that a quarry?

It's all in location, location, location! Up north it's soda, midwest it's pop and here in the Good Ol' South - it's Coke! Isn't it funny how some subjects get revisited? Just like "crack the window" means open it a little bit and "hit the light" means turn the light out when you leave. When I was held fugitive up north for a few years I used those phrases and people took me literaly. Kinda made me want to "crack" or "hit" them! But they knew exactly what I meant when I asked for a Coke. At least they didn't have to ask "What flavor?"

Sorry Paul - but I'm going to defy the mafia and talk about Soda and/or pop. Where I grew up (Dallas TX) we called all beverages except lemonade and coffee, "Coke". It was "Do ya'll want a coke?" and we'd say "What kind ya'll got?" Then the host or hostess (whatever the case may be) would go on to tell us about Grape Nehis or Orange crushes or Coca Cola or whatever.

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. >> I think this was a case of the director never having made a bed - that was a first for me too. Shoot - I don't even make my bed atall- it's totally fruitless to do so cause later in the day or night somebody just messes it up again.

Hey Ya'll, I hope Paul don't inarculate me for this, but the renewed discussion over pop vs soda vs coke vs whatever brought a question to my mind. During the run of TAGS, how many different names were given for "likker". I know Andy named off quite a few of them when Aunt Bee and Friends got gassed on the Colonel's "tonic", and we know the special "likker" made for special occasions was very eloquently named "Elixir". Just set me to "thankin". Hooch by any other name would still get you gassed. Albert ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 May 2000 10:21:54 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Misc. I grew up partially in southern Calif. and Memphis and in both areas everybody seemed to say soda pop or cold drinks but socially you'd say "can I get you a Coke?" and your guest might ask what you had on hand and then usually want iced tea anyway. In central Texas where my folks live they always offer you a Dr. Pepper by saying "can I get you a Pepper?" As for bed-making, I've seen this same method in some old films so I wonder if the same household advisor was floating around Hollywood at the time! And I've seen Thelma Lou in one of those movies where Clifton Webb has lots of children; she's from the south and loves to dance and is adorable when she dances with the old guy; it's a darling movie too!

I am having surgery and won't be able to read my emails for awhile . I will contact you when I'm "back." Since it's knee surgery, I'll probably be able to walk like Chester and give Goober a run for his money in the "imitating" department. Judy, Judy, Judy!
