I am a school cafeteria manager, so I guess I would like to feed all the kids in Mayberry. Of course I would not be partial to Opie, cause that wouldn't be honest or fair, two of the attributes of most of the citizens of Mayberry. We won't mention Emma Watson trying to take her pills, but wait she had a dime in her hand, so she WAS going to pay for them. I would try to be patient with the children, especially when Ernest T. came to school. Mayberry our beloved Sheriff Taylor would come over and have lunch with Miss Crump, although she did slip away to the courthouse and see him on occasion. There would be Olive, Sharon and Howie to serve lunch too, also. I know I couldn't compete with the Snappy Lunch and their pork chop sandwiches, but I would try. Maybe on the days Opie forgot his lunch or a bully took his milk money I could help him out???? I LOVE the episode with Big Maude and the other convict ladies too. Floyd is an absolute scream when he comes to town to get groceries, I just crack up at his antics. Anita __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I think the best tribute to him was the comment by Don Knotts, "We call him Mr. Howard now." I don't recall one negative comment made about him from that show or any other. In today's society where even the slightest hint of impropriety is fodder for gossip, I am so proud of all of the TAGS cast members, writers and film crew. You never hear scandals and such in their lives. Something for politicians and other celebrities to "go study on"! I'm proud, so proud!

I live 35 miles from Jonesboro, in a town that makes Mayberry seem huge! We have our fair share of "Ernest T.

How bout a good maintenance man at the Hospital to check for loose bolts on the wheel chairs. A Band Stand repair and construction business might be needed. And I think everyone can agree that Mayberry sure could use a Dog Catcher thats knows a little something about catching goats too. ;) Z-man You see bats I see butterflies __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You know those two zany girls that come into Mayberry to date Andy and Barney. I especially like it when Dafney says " Hello Doll" in that raspy voice.. and when Barney and Andy get caught by Helen and Thelma Lou in the jail with the two zany girls from Mt. Pilot. Love it!! wish TV Land would show that episode more often. Catch it next time if you can. It is a keeper for sure..

Most people didn't even realize that it was the same "fun girl". Love to play that wav file! HELLO, DOLL >> thank you tara for this information....i always thought that was her and that was going to be my next question... pam, a georgian in texas ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 20:15:02 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Alumni On the Walton's yesterday I saw the butter and egg man, who also later sold his organ to the church after Clara wooed him; he was Grandpa Walton's cousin and presented an old violin to the family. He had long white hair and a beard but sounded the same. As for a job in Mayberry, since Floyd's is the center of the town, I guess I'd like to be a part-time manicurist there while keeping house for my hubby. That way I'd get to see everyone at least a couple times a week - what fun!! Aunt Bee of Orlando ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Regards, Jason ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 21:49:48 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #12 Hello, I am new to this newsletter, so I would just like to say hello! If I had a job in Mayberry . . .I think I would be a moonshinner! That way I would frequent the Mayberry Jail, which I know we all would love to do. I could end up being the mastermind between some haunted house hoax, or perhaps find myself singing at a fancey ladies get together. There was another episode that I thought of that contained "excersice." Remeber the episode of "Andy Life Saver Man" and Andy pretends like he is doing push ups and tells Opie he likes to do them everyday. I have never cared for the color episodes over my past 20 years of watching ANDY. But recentley I have been enjoying them. They are funny in the way that it is funny to see a family member do something crazy, something they would never normally do, so its funny. Does that make sense to anyone else? But last nights color episode made me realize why I almost despise the color episodes. The episode was the one where one of Andy's old girlfriends comes back and Helen gets mad when Andy and his ex get lost in the woods, at the start of the show Howard comes in and talks about how in love Andy and this ex were 10 years ago. Howard was not even around 10 years ago! Andy did not meet him until the color episodes, right! Anyway, talk to everyone soon.

Barney would be a real case study. Maybe I could ride in his sidecar. Be kind of a ride-along psychiatrist. And then there's Otis with his bats and butterflies. And the town's honorary citizen being a kleptominerac and all. And just think of all the compelsions that could be found even in a small town like Mayberry. Wonder if Emma Watson had a jaywalking compelsion? I could get me one of those nice suits that they sell in Mount Pilot and hang my shingle. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

You old-timers might want to read through this just to refresh your memories and I think it's good for all of us to try and remember these tried and true rules.---- Allan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey Everybody, Boy, things have really been growing here in out little corner of Mayberry!! Because of that I think it's time to remind everyone what WBMUTBB is all about: We all know what Mayberry is about but do we realize why it is that we all visit there everyday? I know that the characters are great but more than that, they're friends. We "know" these people and it's just a joy to visit them every chance we get to watch them as they work their way through getting locked in a cell because the door "clangs shut" or any of the other wonderful situations they face. Things always work out in a wonderful way leaving a smile on our faces. Mayberry is an escape from the day-to-day trials we all face. A short trip to a place where every body cares about one another and where we can forget, for a while, the fact that "real life" isn't as much like that as we'd like. I started WBMUTBB back in 1990, along with several other good folks, and since then I've tried to make it as much like a "corner of Mayberry" as possible. I wanted this place to be somewhere folks could go and forget about the outside world and relax by reading about Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt Bee, and the rest of our Mayberry family. To try and make that happen I've required everyone who wanted to join to tell us a little about themselves so we could get to know them just a little bit. After all, in Mayberry everyone knew everybody else and how can we have a community without having at least some idea about our neighbors? I've also had a couple of rules here and I try to enforce them. Of course Rule #1 is...you guessed it...Obey all rules. Rule #2 is this: Talk about the things you like about Mayberry..not things you don't like. I know some folks forget this second rule sometimes and they don't really understand WHY I think Rule #2 is important so let me just give you an example. Let's say I were to say, "Boy, I really hate Barney. I mean, look how stupid he is and poor Andy has to put up with him." If I said that (and meant it) what are the first things that happen to you? First you'd feel like, "Man, that guys a jerk!" Then you'd get aggravated at this guy talking about your Favorite character (and friend), Barney Fife. Even if Barney's not your very favorite character, you'd likely be upset about this guy talking about your neighbor. I've never heard anyone say anything like that about Barn but I have about other characters and folks forget that just because they don't like a particular character doesn't mean that character isn't someone elses favorite. You see, if I talk about your favorite character saying negative things about 'em it takes your fun away. I think that's enough about Rule #2 and I hope you all understand the rule. It's not to take away from your fun but to encourage you all to tell us about what's fun to you and share your good feelings with others. We have something special here. It's something you don't find often on the internet. No "flames", no "fighting", no "foul language." We have a place that children and adults can come and enjoy themselves. Mayberry is a wonderful place and I'm just glad to be a part of this little corner of it. Your Friend and neighbor, Allan Newsome "Who's Been Messin' Up the Bulletin Board?"
