Eric - you may think that you have seen Thelma Lou in church with Barney before, she was a good woman and all of that, but I don't think we ever did see her in church. Help me out here Mr. Mulik. Did we? Maybe she went to church in Siler City with her family, maybe she was a Buddhist or a member of some traveling religion, but I don't think we ever saw her take from Rev. Tucker a'tall.

Hmmm, not sure about the autograph. It looks pretty good and similar to the known griffith signature, but I don't know your Ebay seller there. However, it looks like he lives not more than 5 miles away from me here, so let me know if you have trouble with the transaction. Maybe I can take O'Malley over there and maybe get Floyd and Otis and make kind of a posse if he doesn't come through on the sale.

I am getting ready to move to a small town in Fl that reminds me of Mayberry with more colorful characters and a lot more Otis types. Anyway, Time for a question. What is the name of the man in a hurry and what type of car does he drive? Thanks Daffney the fun girl from Archdale. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 08:36:40 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: the new door The door thing is funny. It appears in much of the early episodes I believe, but I don't think it's there in the later ones. I've always seen it as the door that leads up to the mayors office, because in the Loaded Goat episode, the mayor makes a reference to HIS office being above the courthouse. Lots of luck to you and yours mike "...remember when we put that garden snake in her desk drawer? Yeah...ha ha haha....boy she sure was mean" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 08:46:38 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Suzanne Burgess) Subject: wbmutbb-digest V3#5l ebay items Andy's autograph- after an item has been sold on ebay no one can go there and view the item, it says the bidding is over on that item. Someone, I forget who, had said in the digest that they had some nodders of Andy and Barney, I went to ebay and went through the Andy Griffith items but couldn't find them. Thanks, Paul, for that information on what a white elephant is, I knew what it meant but not the background info. I love trivia.

Thanks so much to everyone who responded to my questions!! I really learned something. Especially about Bastille day. I used to think they were saying "Bad Still" day. After all, the episode was about smashing moonshine stills.(I don't even know if that's how you spell still). About the white elephant-I found it very interesting to learn that white baby elephants were given away. I would have taken one!! There is a "White Elephant" shop in a nearby town and it run in my mind that they do sell antiques and such. I guess I better get out the old history book. Just like Barney said--There are things in there that you learn and keep with you all your life. I just don't remember reading about any white elephants or Bastille Day. I have learned many things from TAGS though. Like, the preamble to the constitution, Paul Revere's ride, the founding of Jamestown, Romeo & Juliet, 25 + 25, horatios, and best of all-- how many hatfuls of water it takes to cool down a boiling radiator!! (That could come in handy one day). Also wanted to say that I really enjoy this digest. I look forward to getting it every morning. I actually come in 10 minutes early just so I can read it before the office opens!! I know I'm rambling, but one more thing. A guy came into the office one day and we started talking about TAGS and he said he believed that anybody who loved the show and actually "got it" had to have a good heart. I truly believe that. It's the one show you can watch with your grandfather sitting in the room and not worry about what one of the characters is going to say or do next. I don't have to worry--I know most of the shows by heart, but I still laugh every time!! Again, Thanks so much!! "Boy, that Romeo and Juliet sure would make a good TV show!" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 08:23:11 -0600 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: album >>>While watching the episode last night with the record producer, the album that Ellie had in the closing seen [Music of Mayberry], was it an actual record produced for the series or just a prop they had made? I sure would like to have a copy, you just can't beat gool ol' bluegrass music! It's gooooood! (this may have been discussed before, sorry) >>> That was actually the jacket from a real LP called "Andy Griffith Shouts the Blues and Old-Timey Songs" with a different name pasted over the title. The record made in the episode does not exist, but Andy's old LPs are still around (they turn up all the time on eBay). The band that played with Andy in that episode was The Country Boys, who later (with a few different members) became known as The Kentucky Colonels. Their CDs are readily available, but you may or may not be able to find recordings of the songs heard on the show. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 08:17:23 -0600 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Thelma Lou at church >>>Hello all...This is my first time to post. Just wondering something....In the "Man In A Hurry" Episode why wasn't Thelma Lou at Church with Barney. We always see her in church on other occasions. >>> Actually, Thelma Lou is never seen in church in any episode, not even once! Barney SAYS he takes her to church every Sunday, but apparently he was exaggerating. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 08:41:08 -0600 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: autograph on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1408906132 i would like to find someone in our "mayberry" community who could possibly let me know if this is the real deal. if any of you have met andy, or received an autograph from him-i would really appreciate the input. thanks in advance for any input- goober in virginia >>> I have never met Andy, but I do have a couple of authentic examples of his signature, and that one looks good to me. There are lots of fake autographs on eBay, but I have no reason to suspect that this particular one might be a fake. A word of warning to any collector: Andy Griffith has never, EVER appeared at any type of autograph show or public Mayberry gathering, so if someone tells you they got his autograph that way, they're lying. I've also been told by his former manager Richard O. Linke that Andy NEVER signed autographs through the mail (Mr. Linke would sign Andy's name when such requests were made). So, anytime someone on eBay (or anywhere) offers to sell Andy's autograph, ask them how they obtained it. If they say they just happened to bump into him at an airport or NC restaurant or something like that, they're probably telling the truth. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 09:36:49 -0600 (CST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (CherinAL) Subject: Ernest T.'s rocks Several months ago I seem to remember a posting at wbmutbb in reference to our dear Ernest T. autographing some rocks that would be put up for sale. Does anyone know anything about this? My husband and I are big fans and would love to add something like this to our growing tags collection. Thanks in advance.

Larry in Alabama ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 17:13:46 -0000 From: "Charlie Brakefield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: White Elephant Gifts <At our annual orchestra Christmas party, we always have a white elephant gift exchange. Everybody picks something in their house that they want to get rid of (like that hideous throw pillow your aunt gave you that's been sitting in the closet for years), and wraps it up as a gift. It doesn't cost any money and the results are hilarious.> We give white elephant gifts at my wife's Christmas party every year but they add a little twist to it. Say for example there are 20 people - everyone draws a number 1 through 20. The person that draws #1 picks a gift and opens it. #2 has the option of either opening a gift or taking what #1 opened. If someone takes your gift you can take anyone else's gift or open another one. (You can't take back what someone took from you until the next round). This continues on through #20 and some gifts can change hands many many times. For some odd reason there are always a few of these worthless items that become very popular and it always becomes competetive.(and a little aggressive at times!) Sorry to ramble on about a non TAGS related subject but it's something I thought some of you might be interested in doing. It's interesting to see some of the personality traits that come out in what are usually mild mannered people! - -Charlie (lookin for a muddy elephant in the snow) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #52 **************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
