Howdy Beth, How are ya' at pottin' petunias? I hear folks come from miles around just to hear you TALK about pottin' petunias. Thanks for the mention, but even to have my trivial triviality skills put in the same sen-tence as Paul's makes me feel special sporty. I don't deserve it, I'm not quite in Paul's league, but thank ya kindly. Now where did I put that cigar?

I admit that the first few times I saw them I thought that it was kind of strange to see TAGS in color and I was not used to some of the new characters like Howard Sprague but after I watched them for awhile I love them.

It's sad but TNAGS went over like a pregnant high-jumper. HOWEVER, does anybody remember a show he did a little later? It was called,"The Headmaster". He was the head of a small college and was married to Lee Merriweather. Does anybody remember that? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 21:14:04 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #20 In a message dated 01/12/2001 6:19:22 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << And does anyone know what that thing was that Rafe bought at the rummage sale in the courthouse?

I remember the barn fire, so maybe it was a volenteer deal. If not I would like to be Fire Chief. Gil." As I recall (and I think it's been mentioned on the Digest before), in the episode "Andy Saves Gomer," Gomer mentions that they're having a boiled dinner down at the fire house. So Mayberry apparently did have a fire department. Janet ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Turn off the color when watching the color episodes. The psycological impression will give you a whole new perspective. Besides, it's therapedic. Linda - the Goober with a 52" TV" Linda, since you bring it up again, I'm just dying to ask -- how does one turn off the color??? Is this an option available on the newer TV's? If so, I have a confession to make. Not only do we NOT have a 52" TV, we only have one TV in the house, and it has actual knobs and no remote.

Great recollection there! You did an impressive job with that list...but wasn't the bicycle the property of Arnold Winkler? At least it was until his dad took it and sold it and took Arnold out to the woodshed! I could be remembering incorrectly here, but I don't think Steve Quincy had a bicycle.

I love that singing! I know he sung, "The Old Gray Goose" or "Go Tell Aunt Rhodie" and "I'm so Sorry I Broke your Heart Mother" and "The Dipsy Doodle." I'm not sure if those are the titles or not. But I love it when he sings. I'm not sure if he sung other songs or not.

Normally the term is used in dressmaking or the like. Andy says to jazz trumpeter Phil Sunkel, "Phil, I know them furbelows is hard to do and I admire your ability to run 'em off like that, but we got to play it straight." In this context, Andy is using the term to mean improvisational embellishment, in other words, adding extra notes to a musical passage. I'm sort of drifitng here, but for them that don't know, Phil Sunkel was the name of a real trumpet player who was a friend of Aneta Corsaut's. Her real-life romantic interest, writer Jim Fritzell, worked the name into the script as sort of a tribute to him. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 08:36:40 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Barney's driving >>>From: "jason tomlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in answer to pauls' question about how many vehicles we see barney drive, i can think of: 1.the squad car, naturally 2.his car from mrs. lesch 3.cars when he visits from raleigh( don't remember if there was more than one or not) 4.the bicycle from steve quincy 5.the motorcycle 6.floyd's car( the escaped convict episode) paul, this is a tough one......how did i do? >>> Off to a good start! There are still at least two more. Your #3 answer refers to his Edsel convertible. Someone will hopefully correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was a 1959 model, even though in the episode he calls it a '60 with a '61 grille. As far as I know, there were only three years for the Edsel, 1957 through 1959. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 08:38:00 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy's driving record >>>Hey, I thought of another one! Andy takes Goober's truck when Goober & Warren steal the distributor cap out of the squad car so Andy & Helen won't go to the lake. Correct, but the original question concerned only black and white episodes, of which the above is not. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 12:28:16 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reunion show I believe there were two reunion episodes; one in B&W and one in color. The later was the one where the notion of a reunion was started by Andy and Barney when they found the old high school stuff while going thru his trunk. The second, color reunion episode was called (I think) "The Return of Barney Fife" were sadly we learn that Thelma Lou has married. ~the groovy misspoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 13:46:30 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #20 Hi, I'm a new kid on the block, but I remember Andy driving a convertible to go on over to Siler City(I think) to meet with that woman lawyer. I believe it was a color episode and he came home with a bad sunburn. He was stuck telling a fib over how he got it remember? But good ole sharp Helen caught him and he had to pay the piper for that one! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 13:46:30 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #20 Hi, I'm a new kid on the block, but I remember Andy driving a convertible to go on over to Siler City(I think) to meet with that woman lawyer.

In both episodes he drove Aunt Bee's convertible. Once is when he drove the car to Raleigh to meet a lady lawyer who had a pool and Andy got burnt to a crispy crunch. The other is where Andy drove her car to a father son get together at a very influential families house. It was when Opie met a boy at camp and became good friends with him. He was from a rich family and he came to Opies house and Aunt Bee served shrimp cocktail and other rich goodies for lunch to impress the boy. Anyway that is other times I remember Andy driving a car other than the squad car. The other day I seen Andy driving the squad car on a high speed chase to catch a lady speeding. She end up getting off the charge by smoozing the witnesses Barney, Floyd and Opie who saw the whole incident as they were putting their fishing rods and tackle in the back of the squad car after a morning of fishing. Lots of luck to you and yours and Goober says hey, Rodney Jackson Siloam Springs, Arkansas _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 17:09:15 -0500 From: "Tim Hutcherson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: tracy rupert and civil war cannon hey folks! i just wanted to say that i knew the answer to the tracy rupert question but like barney "i didn't want everyone to think i was an egghead so i just settled down and got a bad mark" on that one! seriuosly i love that episode and i have a trivia question that i hope i can stump everyon (maybe even paul)with: can anyone name what 3 songs (from about the time of the civil war) were played while andy and barney were pulling the cannon around town trying to sell it? as a civil war buff these songs jump out at me. tim hutcherson "the mayberry undercover agents"-tagsrwc _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 23:24:16 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: answer to trivia question I only got one reply to my trivia question about the percent sales tax in Mayberry. You guessed it. Paul Mulik knew it! It's always hard to stump Paul. The answer is 1.45%. It is found in "Goober's Replacement" episode where Goober rings up an electric blanket for $8.98 with 13 cents tax while working at Weaver's Department Store.
