Yep - he said it alright - I remember a past discussion about it and the writer said he did. We all decided to forgive him because, after all, this is Mayberry.

I don't post that often but wanted to share the following with you. I was lucky enough to get a new computer the other day that has an optical mouse. Instead of a little ball in a socket that eventually gets clogged with dust, this mouse has a red light that shines out of the bottom which detects movement. What's this got to do with TAGS? I think it entirely fitting that my mousepad bears the image of one who was so up to date with modern technology in his crime fighting efforts (Remember the intercoms in the cells?). I'm sure most of you have seen it, but it also bears the stern notice, "This computer protected by Fife." One other quick note. My wife is a very successful cross stitch designer. We recently had T-shirts and sweatshirts made for her company (click here <<A HREF="http://www.heartinhand.com/gift.html";>Heart in Hand Needleart Gift Items </A>> if you'd like a gander). I knew we had finally found the right silk screening company when we walked into their showroom. They are the same company that does many of the TAGS T-shirts, sweaters, varsity jackets, etc.! Take care all!

He broke his hand, so the writers put it into a script! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2000 18:34:40 -0700 (PDT) From: teresa levorse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: mayberry reunion We just returned from the Mayberry Reunion show in Pigeon Forge. What a great event! We had the good fortune of staying at the Echota Resort. David Browning and our own Alan Newsome were in fine form,and what a pleasure it was to see Betty Lynn and Maggie Petersen looking so wonderful. The Dillards were fabulous, and James Best's poetry was touching. David, if you are reading this, all of your Alamance County fans are looking forward to seeing you this Thursday evening at the Burlington Indians game.

I doubt if any of the authors consulted Earle Hagen, and since he himself told me it was Barney Kessel, that's good enough for me. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2000 20:43:44 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: episode order >>>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Gomer joining the Marines I noticed that after the episode"Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C"this is the episode where Gomer joins the marines he's on seven more episodes of the Andy Griffith show after he joins.Is this another contradiction on the Tags. >>> This is not really a mistake, it is the result of the fact that most TV stations do not show the episodes in the correct original order. The episodes were FILMED in one order, but they were originally AIRED in a slightly different order. Most stations choose to air them in the filmed order (I guess 'cause they just don't know any better). The episode in question was filmed as episode #107, but it was aired as #127, the final episode of the fourth season. They had to film it early so that the GP-USMC crew would have plenty of time to start work on the new series, which premiered later that year. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2000 23:52:47 -0400 From: Jeff Krentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: He's right, you know >Subject: Sinners lose all their guilty stains > >Alrighty.

Remember, "I" before "E" except after "C" >and "N" as in chicken...Barney would also pretend to know something >but not always KNOW it ("to form a more perfect U!"). Yep - I think Gary's got her even if she DOES jump. That's half of the humor behind Barney's character. Oh I know you all knew that - Now come on foks - sometimes Barn might pretend to know about something when he really doesn't. I didn't want to make a big moulage about it and get everybody all excited though. Good Job Gary. That's a trained noticer observation if I've ever seen one.

I was the subject to this post? I changed my subject back to a TAGS subject and what my previous post to Digest 274 was, so everyone could be involved. This is one of my favorite episodes and this is how the list is presented.. Andy: Hey, Gomer! Did Wally check the car over? Gomer: He went through he with as fine a tooth comb as you can imagine. She is gonna need.... The after the list Gomer shows the sawdust... Gomer: Oh here is something....sawdust. I guess I am missing the point as yes Gomer brought in the sawdust and Wally's list. My previous post stated it was Wally's post... Let me get my bucket out, I don't know what more to say. Honking in Peace here!

Andy may not have known the "by the book" title, but would have told Barney the title as he knew it, as if it were fact. Anyhow, Barney accepted the title as given and we have yet another classic moment in comedy history. >> Hey To All, I think Andy would have known the "by the book" title as he is such a key member of the choir (or is it chorus?) and Andy Taylor seemed very well versed in the area of music in his knowledge and talent. I feel sure that the choir/chorus would have had occasion to sing this song from time to time for Andy to be familiar. This post reminds me of two other "classic moments in comedy history". 1.) When Andy asks Barney about accapella singing and Barn starts singing the word over and over to his own tune! 2.) When Andy asks Barney to tell him, Aunt Bee and Opie about the Emancipation Proclamation. Gee looky there I have a spot on my shirt! Back to my pickle stash!

She was >wondern about Gomer's mechanical ability and how he gained it....mayhap >he took a course at night or Goober helped him....jest a thought.. Hey Mr. Fatman - Mr. Bighead here. I believe the Learn A Month or Mechanics Monthly magazine was somethow involved. Your topic is very much worth further studyin' on, here's a summary I prepared three or four years ago. I like to chew my cabbage twice every now and again and trot out one of these old favorites. Apologies to those who I've forced to read this before. (Well now, if you don't want to post it, Goober....OH I'll DO IT) ==================Begin Stale Circa 1997 Quoted Text Here=============== That's on my list of inconsistent points in the series - makes watching even more fun for me to spot these kinds of things. In a similar vein, Gomer must have gotten a quick education in car fixin' as well. Mebbe out of that Learn-A-Month magazine, or whatever it was that Barney took. In episode #79 - Man in a Hurry - Gomer can only determine that the car might perhaps need a little more gas (cause sometimes when she says F - she's really E, ya know) and the only person in town who could possibly fix the car besides Wally is Goober. In episode 85 - The Great Filling Station Robbery - Gomer is surprised that the carburetor Ange wants installed goes on the engine, and he needs a local kid to make the repairs while Wally is gone. Episode 90 - Barney's First Car - we see that Gomer is along for the ride when Lesch's Lemon breaks down on ole Barn, but Gomer doesn't seem to be much of a mechanic or have a clue as to how to fix the dang thing. (then again, it could have been the car-sickness kicking in) However, by Episode 101, Gomer the Houseguest, Wally fires Gomer from the gas station, and folks are lining up at his temporary residence with Andy to have their cars repaired at all hours of the day and night. Heck, Gome can now diagnose a lean idle mixture at 40 paces, and do a brake job, fix suspension problems and I-don't-know- what-all. He's so good that Wally is forced to hire him back Hmmm, must have been a temporary thing, cuz next episode, Number 102, Black Day for Mayberry, Gomer is so incompetent that he can't find the gas tank on the armored car and pokes the gas nozzle into the gun port and gets a couple gallons on Barney Ok, Ok, - I could go on awhile longer, but it's time to "Do a good day's work and act like somebody" Jeff "Sick as a dog, but having the time of my life" Krentz =================End Stale Quoted Text===================== ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #276 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
