Albeit, I'm 6' 300lbs., I'm more reactionary & impulsive, like Barney. Wouldn't have it any other way...!

And a poster map suitable for framing would be good, too! (like the poster of the U. S. Presidents that hangs on the wall in the courthouse [I have that one] While Scott Hopkins, who asked the question {wbmutbb v.3 #51}, said that he is particularly interested in a city street map, an excellent cartographical rendering of Mayberry County can be found in "The Andy Griffith Show Book" by Ken Beck and Jim Clark. {map drawn by Robert Turner} [ c. 1985, St. Marten's Press, Lib. Con. #PN1992.77.A573B4 - 1985 - 791.45'72 / 85-12532 ^ ISBN 0-312-03654-X (pbk.) ] I'd also love to see an inset map of Ernest T.'s vision of his county from his geography test in episode #133 - "The Education of Ernest T. Bass". Maybe Weavers Dept. Store will order some of those maps from Grollier or Encarta to sell for our geographical edification ("So's I can git me some learnin') ...

We happened to be in the front row and luckily got to shake hands but his manager wouldn't allow any backstage visits even though a Disney employee took one of our honorary chapter certificates back to him and said he appreciated it. And a big Amen to Scott Gamel's explanation - kudos to you and your great analogy!! Aunt Bee of Orlando ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

It was great just to be around others who were excited about the show, but an added enjoyment to see how the shows moral lessons relate to the Bible. One of the things that I noticed was the diverse age of the group. It was open to anyone, and people from ages 10-80, both male and female, were there. It was so informal and simple that everyone got something from the TV show and the Bible Study. There are two separate volumes, and I was told that the church would soon complete volume 2. It was such a great thing, that I have talked to leaders of my own church to see about having TAGS Bible Study of our own.

From the Taylors front porch on a summer evening, to the chairs in front of Floyds Barbershop to the calm serene woods and waters of Myers Lake, it was and is a respite from the rest of the world, if only for 30 minutes, so lets keep it that way & stay " Calm & Cool in our favorite Hometown: Mayberry." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2001 13:50:10 -0600 From: "Rick Willis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Baney and his girl friends Subject: Baney and his girl friends ...including Juanita, Vicky Harms and then there was Tina Andrews and the daughter of the boarding house people he lived with in Raleigh who turned out to be the robbers of the supermarkets....Can anyone think of other girl friends of Barney's??? Sandy in Saudi - - - - - - - My all-time favorite is a girl that Barney went out with just the one time because her daddy saw his picture in the newspaper when he won four free haircuts--Halcyon Loretta Winslow. We never did see her, but Barn told Andy about her. Although Mr. Winslow offered Barn a third interest in the family prune-pitting factory if he would marry Halcyon, Barn cut off the relationship right there. Called Halcyon the ugliest girl he'd ever seen in his life, remember? Wishing our Saudi members well!

Actually 2. > #1 What is a white elephant sale? > #2 What is Bastille day? > It sounds like a good idea, the White Elephant sale. And it's for a worthy > cause. > Becky > > ------------------------------ A White Elephant Sale is a sale where you get rid of old junk that you don't want and don't have a use for, and usually wind up buying somebody else's junk, and all the money goes to charity. It is named for a rumored practice of Far Eastern ruler's for giving a gift (supposedly an elephant) to someone that they really wanted to be mean to. Then, the recipient goes broke trying to pay for an elephant's upkeep, and can't risk getting rid of it for fear of insulting the ruler who gave the gift. The only way out was to find some way to be charitable with the unwanted gift. Bastille Day is a national holiday in France, commemorating the time (during the reign of King Louis XVI) when the people stormed the Bastille (a French prison with a large number of political prisoners), overthrew the king's men, and set the captives free, leading to the liberation of France from the monarchy. We French people think this is big. This is really big! We should take the day of and watch a TAGS marathon (he was over there during the war, you know). It is celebrated on July 14.

Here's a tip if you're looking for Andy Griffith items on eBay: Instead of searching for the words "Andy Griffith," type in "Andy Grif*." A lot of people out there can't spell worth a lick (and a lot more are just plain ignorant). By using the asterisk, you'll find items listed as "Andy Griffin," "Andy Griffeth" and so on that you would never have found had you browsed for "Griffith." The same hint applies to Don Knotts; many people misspell his name Knots or even Knox. If you do browse for "Don Kn*," you'll need to add "-Jack" or you'll get lots of hits for the game "You Don't Know Jack." - --Paul (red star power seller!) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2001 16:14:54 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: controversy Hey Richard (and everybody else on the list as well), I'm not sure what you're talking about? I haven't seen any note from you? Are you sure you're sending them to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I haven't "not posted" anything from you that you sent to the Digest. I have been noticing some folks emailing me directly at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and those messages don't normally get posted to the Digest because they are sent directly to the owner of the Digest and not to the Digest itself. (I don't know how clear that sounds to folks but just remember to send anything you want to go to the Digest to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address.) You are right though...we don't really want controversy. For the most part the discussion here on the WBMUTBB Digest (which is not a web site...it's a mailing list) is, and should be, about things you LIKE about The Andy Griffith Show. That's part of "The Rules" here at WBMUTBB and those rules have done us good for a LONG time. We have enough negative stuff to deal with every day without having more negatives poured out on us when we're trying to have a good time. I also want to thank those that have echoed pretty much what I'm saying. Mayberry's a place to enjoy life and out little corner is just trying to live up to that example.

Been real busy what with feeding those young'uns in the daytime and singing at the Congo Club at night, so I haven't posted for a while. Sorry to hear Skip was leaving. That fella sounded a little put out, like maybe he had a touch of rumatiz or maybe the bursitis (bless his heart) Sounds like he could'a used a bottle of the Colonel's Elixer to fix him right up! Saw the film "Hannibal" this past week and heard the term 'fifedom' used in context to a self-serving, slightly bungled police action. Is this term derived from our good ole Barn or was the character's name chose as a play on this term? Anyone out there know?
