I would have been tempted to do the same thing, but Mayor Stoner wasn't the
only one whacking on Andy's badge. I seem to remember Ben Weaver doing the
same thing. And I always thought it was kind of strange that Andy was so
intimidated by old Ben. Seems Ben was forever threatening to have Andy's
badge...and Ange always seemed more intimidated by Ben than by the mayor. Any
thoughts?

Oh yes, one of the funniest ones ever! I especially love the part where
Barney tries to seduce Big Maude. ("Let's dance, Maude...you're starting to
get to me!")

Hey everybody. I think I would have to be the locksmith. Remember the guy
who broke his key off in the ignition and couldn't get it out. The episode
about Mayberry security and Barney being the cleaning lady at the bank and
locking himself in the vault, anyway I think I could get that key out of the
ignition(sense I am a locksmith by trade) and just anybody wouldn't be able
to start his car. I'll be the locksmith.

Subject: Threes Company
I've been watching Threes Company some lately and have found it interesting
just how many of the women who made the scene in Mayberry show up the the
life of landlord RF (our Don Knotts).
Just to mention two, I saw the college student/dirt digging reporter who
tried to even the score for the mean and nasty famous publisher.
I also saw the female convict who kept calling Barney "AL"
There have been others but I just thought I mention these.
Do you think Don Knotts had anything to do with casting these women?

YES! That is like, probably my 2nd favorite episode "Convicts At Large"
next to "Man in a Hurry"
But yes, I think it's probably the funniest episode ever. Just the way it's
written and all. One of my favorite lines is when big Maude says
"Here...hold the heater on him.......I feel like dancing!"
But anyway, no, your not alone. That episode is great!

Subject: Celebrity Visits To WBMUTBB Digest?
I was thinking,.... Does anyone know if any TAGS stars ever read or have
ever placed a post on the digest? I wonder what it would be like if say,
Andy Griffith, Don Knotts or George Lindsay looked in from time to time.
Would they be pleased with the things we say? I think so.
ANYWAY,....does anyone know if a TAGS celebrity has ever visited here?

Hey to all!

I love reading the birth announcements in our paper, and guess what one
couple named their little girl? Millie Grace!
Now that's an Andy name or my name ain't Laura Lee Hobbs!
You all remember good ole Millie Grace, don't you? It was mentioned in the
episode of the Big Fight. Barney and Thelma Lou had a "blind" date
for Andy (really Helen) and when Andy asked them her name, one said Millie
and the other said Grace.
Andy knew something funny was going on, but Barney said nothing unusual was
going on. She just went by either name, and not to worry so much, he was
going to have a great time with Millie Grace.
Well, certainly my taste in names has changed quite a bit from when I was a
kid, but not my taste in what makes for the best entertainment on
TV. And if a name's good enough for Andy, it's more than good enough for
me!
So I rejoice in the birth of a real Millie Grace. I bet she's nice. Real nice.
Now, I've read a lot about you people naming pets after characters on Andy.
Has anyone named a child?

<<Subject: Re:Mayberry job
I would love Sarah's position. Just think, the very epi-center of the
town's best gossip!>>
That reminds me of a Mayberryish line I once heard from Brett Butler.
She had just moved to Los Angeles for her TV series. In an interview
on the Letterman show she was joking about how her family back in
the South would call her up all the time to tell her jokes--as if they were
giving her comedy material. She said, "What they don't realize is that
they ARE my material."
She moved to L.A. shortly before the last big earthquake hit that area.
After the earthquake one of her cousins called her up and said, "Uh, Brett.
When we came to see you before the quake didn't we go by that Epi-center?"

Hi Y'all!
I thought that I'd throw in my 2 cents on the Mayberry fantasy job issue.
If I was in Mayberry, my job would be the manager of the Airport where Aunt
Bee took her flying lessons. I think I'm pretty qualified,since I work on
aircraft here in the DC area.

I just received a cancellation from a couple that was to go on the Mayberry
Tour in LA in April. I know that I had announced both here on the digest and
on the web site that we were full, so if you can still arrange for a vacation
at that time, here's your chance. For all of the info on the trip, you can
log onto my site at:
http://www.angelfire.com/in/MayberryTimes/mayberrytrip.html.
Get with me quick on this, there's not that much time left.

Hi All...I don't post very often but always take time to read and enjoy the
digest. Had to comment on working in Mayberry. Since I write for the local
paper, I'd love to write the Mayberry After Midnight column...Two episodes I
love which I rarely see are the one where Opie and his friend made a
newsletter full of gossip. And a Stranger in Town...remember he knew all
about the town because he had been subscribing to the newspaper. Does
anybody have either of these on tape. Would also like a copy of the
Christmas episode with old Ben Weaver being Scrooge. A children's author I
know collects versions of Scrooge and I'd like to surprise him with a copy
of this episode. Well I gotta run and meet Barney down by the duck pond. If
anybody can help me with my request send your email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks Cathy, a.k.a. Skippy one of Mayberry's fun girls.

In Mayberry I think I'd be a motorsickle cop - just go around
chalking tires and of course watching for speeders out at
check-point-chickie. I'd make sure that I had good health and
life insurance though - just in case Aunt Bee decided to string
that wire across the road and 'crrrrrrk'.

Subject: My Mayberry Job
I'm just now getting around to throwing in my two cents' worth about the
job I'd like to have if I could move to Mayberry. Nobody else has
mentioned this yet (which is a good thing -- that means I've got first
dibs), but I want to be the town photographer. I don't recall any
mention of Mayberry having a photography studio (if anyone else has,
please tell me), so the town obviously could use one. (I figure Floyd
had to go to Mt. Pilot to have his picture taken for the woman in the
lonely hearts club.) Let's see, Andy will need a nice head-and-shoulders
portrait for campaign ads every time he comes up for re-election, and I'm
sure Barney would enjoy presenting Thelma Lou with a framed 8 x 10 of
himself wearing the ol' salt and pepper. For that matter, Gomer may want
to have his picture taken so he can give one to Mary Grace -- something
to remember him by when she goes back home. He'll probably want to wear
that purple tie with the acorns on it. I'll offer to take a full-length
shot, too, so he can show off those yellow socks (which aren't too
porous) and his new shoes with the buckles on the sides. I could take
all the students' senior pictures, and I'd even order some of those
V-necked black capes for the girls to wear. Of course, I'd do all the
class reunions and weddings and important civic functions. Aunt Bee may
need her photo taken for job resumes, since the printing shop closed
rather suddenly. And Emmett and Martha will want a nice portrait when
that special anniversary rolls around. Howard and Millie will need an
engagement picture, and I think they'd be too decent to cancel their
order just because they didn't go through with the wedding. Oh, yes, I
can see lots of possibilities! And wouldn't I have a ball photographing
all those wonderful people of Mayberry!!

Subject: Warm Appreciation
Just a quick post to let you all know how wonderful my
visits are to this site-it's like a virtual tour of
Mayberry and its folks. Your posts resonate with all
the same feelings I experience when thinking about the
TAGS- particularly the episode where Aunt Bee and Andy
talk about how much they miss Barney. After the
epilogue I turned to my wife and could only voice
"WOW"! I'm glad you all confirmed my feelings that
there was something very powerful going on in that
scene. Thanks again, gang!
