Love their picking, and they are really neat folks in person.

Howdy to ye and yern'..(the reason I say ye every now and then is to keep from the repetition of yall's), the fatman here, spendin a moment alone whilst his darlin person tends to the native storm centers here we call offspring...It's funny cause "Thats the same exact thing I was thinking"....my darlin person and I had the guestroom discussion not more'n a day ago and I had intended to jot down to the rest of ye the episodes and such and set about a bit of reckoning as to the why and wherefore's. One suggestion I have read was that it possibly was turned into a closet from time to time (a phenomenon which occurs regularly at the fatman/darlin person abode) however I kinda doubt that Aunt Bee would let that happen. I just kinda figure that the idea of a guestroom was kinda one of those path of least resistance things...musta been a hoot to figure during tax assessment times....the only other theory one might entertain is that a vast vortex existed right over the spot in the driveway in which the guestroom protruded and Andy parked his pickup..., oddly enough, the vortex also had an effect on thin high spirited persons ability to sing......anywho it can't be a deception cause "we got way yonder to much smarts for that......" the fatman and his darlin person ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 22:37:45 -0500 From: "Mary Huckaby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Ellie a Golden Girl? I was watching the Golden Girls today. Dorothy's ex, Stan, was about to remarry and Dorothy met his new bride in the hotel bar. It was none other than TAGS Ellie. She told Dorothy that it was to be her first marriage, that she had been married to her career. Guess being a lady druggist takes up all your time, or maybe after losing Andy, no one else measured up. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2000 02:19:23 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry Rap To the person(s) who were inquiring about a song parody called 'Mayberry Rap,' there was a song called 'The Mayberry Rap' on an album called 'Loafin'' by The Penny Loafers. Don't know if this is the song in question, and can't find any information about this obscure artist. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2000 12:03:57 -0400 From: Jeff Krentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Wish I Was There >Just when it seemed like the music and the reminiscing couldn't get any >better, the Darling boys were joined by their sister Charlene. >Maggie came out dressed as that sweeter-than-honey mountain girl.

Bless his heart, I guess he was very bashful. Aunt Bee of Orlando ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

And I couldn't believe my eyes when our Aunt Bea was playing an aunt of two crooked men that she had raised. Boy was she mean too! But the funny part was that the sheriff of the town whose jail that Aunt Bea was sent to was named Sheriff Taylor.

I would think that Don would know as much as anybody. Andy would probably know, but you can't reach him. Also, I know that the scripts may have read as "Schwamp", but it was definitely pronounced "Schwump", so I'm sticking with that. - -Bob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2000 15:18:52 -0500 From: Todd A Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The character I'd be..... Greetings Mayberry friends, I loved this question a real thought provoker!! I got out my bucket and started a'thankin'.

I have never been to a "TAGS"-related thing in my life so this will be a difinite high-point...I can't wait! So, I was wondering, will this be a place to meet some of my Mayberry friends who subscribe to the digest? If so, that would be the icing on the cake for me. Do we all discuss these things over the digest closer to time so as to be able to meet or do we just take our chances? I'm sure there will be MANY folks there. If anyone has any helpful information, feel free to email me personally or post it on the digest. Thanks!

They said if we were that we could probably get tickets from our "head person" or otherwise through our chapter. Since I have not seen any such thing discussed here, I assume that is not the case but it brings up an interesting thing. If we ARE indeed involved in this event, don't we want everyone to attend? And since we do, don't we want to make it easy to obtain passes to it? Of course, dialing a number and asking for them is pretty easy, I guess...haven't got mine yet. Oh well, I was just wondering about that and thought you might could shed some light on how these things work. As I said earlier, this is my first "TAGS"-related event. Thanks in advance for your insight!! Love the Digest!!!! Crystal (AL) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 07:22:04 -0700 (PDT) From: bill shaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Wow! The case of the missing bedroom Hey Miss Poovey All I can say is WOW! What a terrific observation you made on the Taylor's disappearing and reappearing guest room. In all my years of watching TAGS I have never noticed this or heard of anyone else who has. I like to think of myself as fairly knowledgeabel about TAGS though I know that there are better students on this site than me. This instance shows me one who is way yonder more in tune than myself.
