I could; Tie Barney up to some trees while being an escaped convict. Steal a leaky rowboat. Do some shoplifting at the Department Store. Try and find some boots to do some cattle rustling. Make some illegal moonshine. Sell said moonshine to Otis. Pass myself off a a dapper and gentlemanly crook while in jail. Rob a few gold trucks passing thru town. (sorry Laura Lee Hobbs) Steal stuff from the filling station. (while hiding inside the trunk of a car) Bilk honest folks with crafty salesmenship and Lemon Cars. Sell Fruit and Vegtables in the city limits without a permit. Sweep dirt into the street. Do some illegal parking. Speed thru town. Take some nuts off of the wheelchairs down at the old folks home. Be a henchman of Ernest T Bass. (gotta be lots of rocks to be thrown) I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. And my job would never get boring. Not to mention getting Aunt Bea's home cooking when I got caught. (I think I would get caught a lot lol) Dapper Dan ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 21:22:03 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: the cake In a message dated 01/10/2001 7:43:36 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Every time I see the episode > Hey JenK... Every time I see that scene, I crack up. Opie walks in on Millie and Howard talking and they want to get rid of him so Millie just hands him a cake...Then when Opie says, "Don't I even get a box?", I just die laughing! I can just see Opie walking down the street with this cake on a plate without any kind of cover on it or anything. I am laughing NOW!! I appreciate the memory of this funny moment in Mayberry! And for all of those who don't know JenK, let me tell you, she can COOK! And as for a trim figure, this girl has had 4 kids and loves foods like chocolate cake, cherry popovers, sticky buns, and lemon cookies and still looks as great as she did in high school. I know, I was there! Crystal M. in AL ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 20:44:17 -0600 From: "Beth Perona" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Tracy Rupert... I believe that Tracy Rupert was mentioned in "The Horse Trader", when Andy and Barney are saddled with having to get rid of the town's old cannon. Andy tells the antiques dealer that the initials on the cannon (T.R.) stand for Teddy Roosevelt, because it was Teddy's cannon when he charged up San Juan Hill (I think that was the hill!). Later, Barney gets on to Andy because those initial weren't there because of Teddy Roosevelt, but rather Tracy Rupert (who, I believe, scratched them there himself). I sure hope I'm remembering the right episode! I'm sure if I'm wrong, I'll know soon! :-D Great question, Robert! Beth P. >^..^< ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 21:53:25 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: color,etc,digest #14 I recently included a statement in a reply about Mayberry employment (I wanted to be or help Sarah because I work in a Dr.s office and answer and direct a lot of calls) that I didn't care for the color episodes as much. Mr. Good, you have enlightened me. I never thought about them that way. Although, besides the fact that they didn't require as much imagination, Barney was not in most, and I felt Andy ( maybe just more mature) was different. He seemed quiet, and didn't smile and joke around as much, or maybe I just haven't seen enough of those episodes. All the more reason to agree with you and give them a chance. They seem like they would make the characters closer to our day and time, almost as if still being filmed. Anyway, I thank you and appreciate your insight.

Dave, you are forgiven! We are a friendly bunch here and don't hold grudges. We like to share our opinions and hear those of others, but we just try to be careful not to offend. Also, as Allen recently divulged to us, there are TAGS cast members and others affiliated with the show who receive our Digest. Even though Frances Bavier herself is deceased, there are other folks who could read the Digest and find some unkind remark about themselves or their work on the show, and wouldn't that be a shame!

We have a local station here in Huntsville, Alabama, that shows the color episodes, but somehow they change it to black and white, but Hey, we are not fooled! But it is really neat to see them anyway. You may want to think about moving to this area, we can watch one hour and a half of Andy on the local station daily, and then TV Land at 5 thru 6 pm and then the repeats on TV Land at 9 pm and midnight. What a life!!!! I have been watching Andy since it came on in the 60's and even started watching the reruns that would be on the daytime morning shows back in the 60's as well.. My sons 20 and 16 haven't had a chance, they watch them too, and quote Mayberry sayings alot in their daily conversations. A several years ago, we went to Mt. Airy, NC, and as we were in Floyd's Barber shop having a wonderful time, Russell Hiatt, the owner of Floyd's, put them up in the chair, and did a free trim on them, while I got it all on video. Of course, he made sure he took a picture of us and gave it to us as a keep sake. What a guy.

Back on the truck, Liberty Darlings ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 22:57:06 -0600 From: "Corey Sawyers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Dave To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to all that i offended, i am sorry. At this point in a TAGS episode, Andy would generally impart some wisdom that would make you feel better and teach us the lesson of the week. But I don't quite have his sage. However, it does take a big man to admit when he is wrong, and apologize. That was one of Andy's finest qualities. Perhaps you were a little like Mr. Sawyer (No relation to me by the way! lol), you just tried a little to hard at first. "Made us feel uncomfortable, scared some of us". But, all's well that ends well. And, to quote from that episode, "I'm bound to say it and y'all are bound to listen to me," just as we were quick to defend Aunt Bee, we will be quick to defend any good law abiding citizen here in Mayberry. So if you wanna buy the filling station, I'll be happy to give you a reference. And if you wanna court one of the purty gurls, I am sure their brother won't mind. Shoot, they'll even charge you cheaper rates at the motel by the week. So don't run off. On behalf of everyone here, we want you to stay, just remember what we love about Mayberry so much is the love between friends and neighbors, flaws and all. And I'll be glad to accept your apology if you will accept mine for having such negative thoughts about you before really getting to know you. Looks like I'll be having crow for supper!

Dave, like ED Sawyer's only crime was "he just wanted to be one of ya. Been reading our paper. Wanted Mayberry to be his home town. Scared some of ya." Well Dave, we don't hold grudges. Not nairy bit. Come on by later and we'll draw up papers to make you a full fledge citizen.

To me, Aunt Bee is the personification of my grandmother who has long passed on. They took pride in their cooking, although not being very boastful, as many people are today. Modesty is rare, and they were happy serving others and didn't need society to dictate to them what a woman should or shouldn't do. Bee was touched by kindness, adorably naive at times, and wise most of the time. Now, did Bee ever wear pants? Not sure about the later episodes, I know that "Mimma" never did. I guess that's one reason I love the show so much. Powerful lessons, taught ever so gently. I miss my grandmother's generation. They weren't perfect, but they were strong women with much purpose. Martha, your comments were wonderful!! Happy New Year! Floyd the pug says "woof" Sheridan L. Miller ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 22:50:57 -0800 (PST) From: Rafe Hollister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: My Mayberry Job I've been enjoyin' ever'body's posts about what kind of job they'd have if they moved to Mayberry, and I thought I'd post a little about that thing. I reckon, like my "namesake", I'd be a farmer. To be able to plant seed in the good earth and watch it grow (Lord willin'), then harvest it come Autumn and sell my best pickin's to Mr. Foley at the market, and have my beloveded wife "put up" some of the rest for eatin' when the crops ain't in season sounds like a wonderful way of makin' a livin'. Durin' the off-season, I'd help out at the icehouse, standin' guard at night, since I'm such a night-owl. I wouldn't even mind if they fixed the light in there (I can't sleep anywheres else but my own bed anyways), 'cause when Barney comes by on his rounds, I'd like to set and jaw with him awhile, and share a cup'a coffee and a game of checkers with him before sendin' him back out on his rounds, shakin' the doorknobs on the stores of Mayberry. Then in the mornin', I'd take a walk down to the diner and have some hot, fresh biscuits and gravy and another cup'a coffee served to me by Juanita or Olive (dependin' on which one was there that day), and I'd be sure and tip 'em a quarter before headin' home. I'd wave to the milkman as he makes his early-mornin' rounds, and toss the newspapers a little closer to ever'body's front doors (that Howie Pruitt will make a fine young man some day, but his paper-throwin' skills ain't worth a LICK!). I'd crawl into bed with my beloveded and snuggle up next to her, and meet Mister Sandman half-way. My dreams would be filled with the day's memories, and good friends, and thankfulness to be livin' in such a friendly town. I'll see ya.
