We have a former State Trooper named Sam Kaunley attending our church, who preaches in Branson occasionally and is Rodney Dillard's spiritual mentor, so I tend to hear a lot about the Dillard clan. It's just one more reason to come to Branson! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 08:43:54 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: canning jars >Fellas, don't get your girls CANNING JARS for a gift--go for the bed jackets! This is good advice, but in the episode in question, don't you think most of the fault was Aunt Bee's? She specifically told Andy NOT to buy anything frivolous or impractical, and I got the impression that she had been telling him this year after year. If she wanted a bed jacket, why didn't she tell Andy that's what she wanted? Us men can be pretty dense when it comes to buying gifts for women, you know. Still, I love this episode. It's one of my very favorites. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 09:45:04 -0500 From: "Cody Vandever" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #187 <<Yesterday, a feller told me he was driving through Branson and one of the theaters was advertising "Rodney Dillard and the Boys from Mayberry." Any of you folks from the Branson area know anything about this? It sure was news to me. Maybe this guy mis-read the sign or something. He thought maybe it was at the 76 Music Hall. For them that don't know, Rodney Dillard is the guitarist and lead singer of the Dillards (Mayberry's Darling Boys). He's lived in Branson for many years.>> Rodney (and occasionally Dean,Mitch and Doug) play at Branson, however I never heard of "...Boys From Mayberry". Maybe it's one of the old Dillards lineups from the 70's - maybe there's a web site for it - I'll check. QUESTION!!! Just wondering - was Doug Dillard on that color episode of TAGS from '66 or was it Herb Pedersen? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 11:09:06 -0400 From: "GRITTON, JOE A. (AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Pick-ups and Splashes from Floor and Pool Well I don't know if you caught "Who wants to be a Millionaire" last night...and I'm sure you don't remember my spoof on "Millionaire" meets Mayberry (posted here in the Digest a few months back) when Barney was asked the question: Where is the patella?...But there it was...stranger than Buzz Fluehart's theories....Regis asked Where is the patella? Fortunately for the contestant, "Brain"--wasn't one of the choices and he got "knee" correct. Then later in the show, another vague TAGS reference was made. Reg' asked what Skipper called Gilligan. Good Andy fans all know that Alan Hale was first Jeff Pruit before he was Skipper, and his first "Little Buddy" was Barney Fife. One quick TAGS sighting--saw Quiet Sam on the Cartoon Network. He was in an early mixture of cartoon and live person. I thought he was so quiet, but there he was talkin' to a toon. I don't remember what he was talkin about, but I don't think he was selling that "Globe" Insurance yet. Saw a documentary on Giraffes...they talked about how they will push each other away when reaching for nice leaves to eat. Barney was right "Giraffes are Selfish!! just running around looking our for old number one. Mayberry is everywhere. I'll betcha Thelma Lou worked at an Insurance Office. It seems like that's a common office in small towns. She seems like the type that would run a small office, and perhaps an Agent only came around once a week or so. Just speculatin'.

My favorite episode is The Fun Girls (hellooo dollllll......) I am a Fun Girl wannabe. Anyhoo, I was wondering if anyone else has heard the Bellamy Brothers song "I Wish Life Was Like The Andy Griffith Show". I remember seeing the track on the CD that "Kids of the Baby Boom" was on about 10 years ago. It was an album cut, something that never made it to the airwaves. It was a neat song...

And I like to think that Aunt Bee got better with her canning; the store clerk knew that and was just trying to help Andy out with a gift suggestion; I, for one, like practical gifts as well as play-pretties and my hubby surprises me with both. As for props, we once saw what was supposed to be Barn's deputy uniform shirt in a display case at Planet Hollywood here in Orlando; don't know about any others for sure but I believe there are a few things in the Andy museum in Mt. Airy. Aunt Bee of Orlando ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

Know who I think MIGHT make a nice beau for me, Laura Lee Hobbs? Good ol' Ernest T. Bass. Now that's the Mrs. Wiley's Back Bay Boston Ernest T. I'm talking about, understand? Why not? We're both kinda off-beat characters with mercurial temperaments. I just couldn't stand living in the woods though. Other than that, I'd marry my beloved Mr. Darling's son, the one with the pipe. He looks more intelligent than the others, I could learn to love most anybody that quiet, I could listen to all the good music I'd ever want, and get to be near my beloved Briscoe (I'd love him from afar, like in the books) and it'd be beautiful. But I just couldn't stand living in the woods and eating wild animals. So, I'm back to Back Bay Boston Ernest T. and teaching him to live a little closer to town. While I receive gold trucks, he could sit by me, keep me company, and chunk rocks at passing cars (tiny ones, no damage done under my watch). We'd make quite a pair. Laura Lee and Ernest T. Has a nice ring to it. Lydia sees nothing but trouble and heart-aches in the match. Crystal, One of my favorite poems was said by Barney to Andy during the Big Fight, after he called Helen a dame. "'So deep a friendship hath one man for another that no female caress shall ever tear it asunder.' Boy, the guy who said that must be some kind of a nut!" Sittin' and thankin', waitin' on gold trucks (and that pan of pecan fudge, Tony), Laura Lee Hobbs ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 12:05:27 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Opie Loves Helen Hey Crystal, While you're digging around in that "Opie Loves Helen" episode for the poem and the "Daddy Longlegs"...can you find that part where Barney asks Juanita to go to the drive-in with him? It's in that episode and I belong to a drive-in list that would love to see it. Thanks!! Goober says hey, Dixon ======= "This is what we call the 'Deadly Game'...I'm in it for keeps." - --Barney Fife ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 12:11:32 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TV Land promos Hey all, Anyone caught the new TV Land promos? The redubbed scenes with the theme, "Times Change, Great TV doesn't"? There's one in which the Adam 12 cops are riding down the road and someone comes on the radio and says "Wassup! WASSUP?" There's another one in which Aunt Bee sends Opie running away from the dinner table---looking puzzled because "I thought he liked sushi!" Hilarious...

Hey to you and yers'.... I look foreword to this more n' biscuits and sorghum syrup in the mornin. Good job Mr. Buzz...you were right on the money about the shoe leather invested towards miss Rosemary...mayhap that wuz why Thelmer Lou had those hymnal cover gluin sessions with Edgar...she was prone to gettin on his high spirited side, but Miss Rosemary was early in Mayberry time...mayhap Thelmer Lou dropped Edgar after OLE 'barn showed up and "as the victor claimed the spoils..." in that gateway to danger that we all know Mayberry to be...and as to the fudge...is there any other kind than cashew? I think not...why that would be as un-American as pizza without mozzarella...(the kind I love best, I just love pizza with mozzarella)... And also gotta say "hey" to Kelly......Hey Kelly...I liked seeing the poem again as I always get a snicker outta hearing it....i'd jot it down but " I can't write..." and yes, 'OLE 'barn, was about to resign, as Miss Rosemary walked in and flustered him all up, so Ange...not wanting to make a malage out of it all covered for 'barn the way he always did...(Bet Barney had to spring for a nectarine crush after that...although we all know that Ange liked "Big Orange" the best...) And also a big "Hey" to Deb Dubose.....Hey Deb.... thank-Yee (sometimes I use that to keep from the repetition of "yall") for the jot-down, I usually make my fudge by the metric ton (in case that Dr. show runs a little long on Thursday nite)...and always with nuts, cashews is the preferred kind. As for the Dr. Pepper, "more power to ya...but as a true southerner I lean toward a good OLE icy cold RC Cola myself, but....everybody to their own kick! Glad to hear about your hair, at least it's not "blonde from a bottle"....you know, good old blonde straight from a bottle. ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #188 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
