I guess if I were to move to Mayberry, I'd have to be the hotel clerk. After all, I done got the name for it. Just think of all the interesting strangers, musicians, and other folks I'd have the chance to meet!

"If you could move to Mayberry and take a job there, what would it be?" My brand new wife and I have given this some thought, and we've decided that when we move to Mayberry we'd like to open a Blues club. She could manage the place, and I could play with the band every night.

My cats: #1 Buttface One (aka Sassy -- she's himilayan--she looks just like the "sassy" on that movie where the animals find their way home) #2 Buttface Two (aka Mirabella -- someone else named her -- she's a white persian) #3 Buttface Nein (aka Buddy - when we thought she was a boy - the 'nein' stands for the word "no" -- meaning she doesn't have a flat face like the first two) #4 Buttface Nein A (aka Vanilla - she's a polydactyl)) #5 Bufface Nein B (aka Aunt Bee or Bea -- she's an Oriental) #6 Buttface Nein C (aka Sea Sea - she's a siamese) If I was in Mayberry, I too would work at the school. In real life I am a teacher (of Music Education and Business Education, computers and tech ed)... My hubby wubby has been a cop for 15 yrs.. now works for the State, doing Liquor Commission licensing and regulation and compliance).. he could help Andy and Barney catch those moonshiners.. Hunny Bunny (me.. aka Darlene or VanillaCat or Mrs. M.) and my sweet Jim-Dear (aka Buttface Three - his cute nose is slightly pugged.. he's the most wonderful man in the world-- my opinion.. 'course Helen would think that Andy was) http://vanillacat.multihost.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 17:39:42 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry Job What job would I have if I could move to Mayberry? You mean I AIN'T in Mayberry? Sure could have fooled me!!! What with all the nice folks and all passin through my fix-it shop, I thought I WAS there.

A couple of weeks ago, while we were snow bound, we watched a movie where (the man who played "mayor stoner") got tangled with a bear!!! We both said outloud at about the same time,"He tangled with a bear on Andy, too!!! What is it about mayor Stoner and bears?" What a surprise! "Hey", from semi-frozensemi-thawed Branson hill-country. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 18:29:31 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Andy in real-life! Hey you all, I just happened to watch the new govenor and good ol Andy was toasting him here in Raleigh. Great to see him up and about. He moves a little slower now but still has that good ol North Carolina charm. Wish we could see more of him in person that way. Thought you all would enjoying hearing about it...

If you could move to Mayberry and take a job there, what would it be? >> Well, considering my journalism background, I would likely be a natural to work at or even publish the Mayberry Gazette, perhaps even do the Mayberry after Midnight column!

My excitement was based on the hope for crystal clear video and the ability to go directly to certain scenes. Have any of you found a DVD with good video quality.

Floyd was hilarious! "Al, he dances with Sally." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 21:49:03 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Another tribute to Don Knotts Hi everyone .. I was channel surfing the other day and watched part of an interview with Billy Bob Thornton. The interviewer asked him who his favorite character was .. and he said without any hesitation at all .. BARNEY FIFE He went on to say that Don Knotts portrayed Barney as the consummate "everyman" with a good heart, faults that weren't too serious, and so forth. It was great! Kathy Jo and Rudy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 19:15:09 -0800 (PST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Jack Elam I was interested in Tom Strongbow's mention of Jack Elam among the great character actors who people see, but don't often know their names. I met Mr Elam a few year's back when he was at a mall in Salem, Or. to plug his then television show "Easy Street". I think he would have made a great TAGS character as he has played so many versatile rolls in the movies & on tv.

I believe I would enjoy being the new PhG (Pharmacy Gal) at the drug store. Not only could I take advantage of the perfume counter and smell like a gardenia blossom but think of the free root beer sodas I could have. Linda - PhG - ( Pharmacy Goober) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 21:06:20 -0500 From: Janet K Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Columbia lady & Teena Andrews episode "Sure enough the Columbia pictures lady looks like our Thelma Lou! Check it out." I've been racking my brains to remember what book I read this in, and I can't right now (I've got a lot of books on old movies, so it's hard to narrow down). Anyway, as I recall, Columbia began using this logo back in the '30s. It seems like they used a young woman who worked behind the scenes at the studio to pose for this picture. She was paid a modest, one-time sum for being the model, but in later years she became a little bitter than she was never paid any residuals for the multitude of times her image was used by the studio through the years. At any rate, it wasn't Betty Lynn (which you probably realized -- just thought I'd throw in that extra info). "The epilogue of the Tina Andrews episode today had to be one of the all time tear jerkers. Andy and Aunt Bee sitting on the front porch talking about missing Barney...that scene seemed very real." This has been mentioned a few times lately, and it is one of my favorite epilogues. I, too, am always struck by the "realness" of this scene. It's as though the dialogue has meaning on two levels, and it never fails to tug at my heartstrings. While we're on that episode, I want to mention something about the scene where Barney gets the call from Teena's secretary breaking the lunch date and inadvertantly revealing that Teena is actually engaged to someone else. I have been one who has commented on Andy's seeming testiness or lack of feeling in many of the color shows, but this episode is a notable exception (of course, Barney is in it, and maybe that's why). When you watch that scene, it is natural to give all your attention to Barney. However, next time, don't look at Barney. Watch Andy instead. His reaction is subtle and low key, but notice how his expression gradually changes from smiling encouragement to quiet sadness over Barney's wounded heart. Andy's face shows a real empathy and a tender compassion for his old friend that just makes me want to cry. I think this scene, where Andy is just the "background" character and yet plays the part so beautifully, shows what a great actor the man truly is.

Just think, the very epi-center of the town's best gossip! Plus, every day would be casual-day!! Amy in TN "...my heart just aint in this,...it's not you're heart we need, it's your stomach." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 00:49:06 -0600 From: "Corey Sawyers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Attn: Ms Keeper (Kathy Jo) Sarah's time off: You mentioned eating and sleeping, of course with the former that would mean time off to head to the outhouse. Plus, don't forget she would need some time to head down to the drug store to pick up a box to satisfy one of her habits (she liked to take a pinch of snuff now and then!). Back on the truck! Liberty Darlings ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 01:09:40 -0600 From: "Corey Sawyers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: My Mayberry Job Since I am involved in the family business here of a monument shop, I suppose I could do that, in case there was ever any need for another statue (it would be just like the angels I do, exceptin without the wangs). But, I like to pick and grin, so maybe I would try to farm up in the mountains so I could pick and grin with The Darlings (got time to breathe, got time for music). And since I do fill in preach part-time, I guess I could do that, but Gomer and Barn would probably sleep through my sermons (That's one thing you can't talk about too much...sin). But secretly (and this is very truthful), I always kinda wanted to be a barber, and Floyd was why. However, as with many great southern small town things, sure enough Barber shops are a dieing breed. But just think of how great it would be. Here are my top ten reasons why the job would be the greatest. 1. Always time to read the paper and visit. 2. When there is a bluegrass album to be recorded, it would be at my place. 3. You would have time to be a fill in deputy. 4. You would be witness to interesting things such as a car being reassembled in the courthouse. 5. If a future genie came to town to do nails, you would be the person she would want to see. 6. You would have the time to study enough that you would be well versed on historical figures' quotes. 7. Even if you did get in to it with a good friend, even enough to swap blows, nothing would fix things up quicker than a free shave. 8. You would have plenty of time to go on fishing trips with Barn, even if you got delayed at a cabin with convicts and Al. 9. Your place of business, and consequently your time, would be filled with the wonderful folks of Mayberry. 10. And, perhaps, best of all ... You would get to know Andy as we all wish we could (and even feel as if we already do) ... our best friend.

Joe: << Interesting question - what would I want to be in Mayberry? Well, consider I work in three small country churches about an hour away from Mt. Airy now....I guess I'd like to be the "preacher"! >> That would be a challenging job because there is so little sin in Mayberry you just would not have much to work with. ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #8 *************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
