In the episode about Barney needing to be 145 LBS. and 5'8", Barney asked Andy what do they want, a basketball team? I guess they mentioned it more than we thought. Just my 2 cents worth.

On the subject of remembering 50s stuff. Some of it is culturally sensitive. I lived outside of DC so there were no party lines or prefixes that started with words in the late 50s early 60s. In the country they existed up until the 70s in some really rural areas. I used to pastor in an area that had a lady who was the town switchboard lady up until the early 70s. There are still some party lines (to reduce phone bill costs per family) out there to this day. Everything else I remembered. Guess that makes me OLD, sniff. That would explain the 'salt and pepper' hair! peace, Rev. Joe ===== If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.

I'll ask the waiter to send my kudos to the authors back in the kitchen at Morelli's. While it's two steps removed from good ole B&W TAGS (no Andy, no Barney), there are still some great episodes and continued character development of Goober, Howard, Emmett and the gang. Unfortunately, nobody ever seems to show R.F.D., at least not here "up north". I know they showed a few on TVLand last summer, but we didn't get it back then...don't know if they have the rights to the whole series or not...if so, they could (but probably won't) do a fandemonium weekend and show almost the entire series over two days. I've got a little less than half of the R.F.D. episodes on tape, but would love to add to my collection. If anybody out there has some R.F.D.s and would be interested in trading, please send me an e-mail off list. I 'ppreciate it! BTW...what's your favorite episode or scene from Mayberry RFD? Keith Barney: Goober, it's almost 8:00, shouldn't you be gettin' over to Lydia's for your date? Goober: Already been...boy it sure didn't last long...I follered all the directions. Barney: Goober, you were on a date, you weren't taking medicine. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 16:35:03 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Remembering these things Hi Gang: This is in response to [EMAIL PROTECTED] about things rmembered, Boy does this bring back memorys. I remember all of them, but it sure was a great erra to be living in wasn't it? Those where the good old days. I would give anything to have a good old glass bottle of milk delivered to my house today. How about you all? As for the Howdy Doody, I was in the second grade way back then, but just last year i bought a whole set of 12 Howdy Doody Videos from the 50's, I haven't opened them up yet, keeping them for my grandchildren to enjoy someday. But I loved those days.There is a store here in Georgia that still sales the candy cigarettes, and a lot of the penny candy we used to get back then. Well it sure was fun to reminise with you all, see ya in the funny papers.

I wish I'd written them all down. I could start a library. 1. That old dog won't hunt. 2. I'll get on you like ugly on an ape. 3. Like white on rice. 4. Like a duck on a June bug. 5. Don't that cock your pistol? 6. Running around like a blind dog in a meat house. 7. I'd like to buy that girl for what she's worth and sell her for what she thinks she's worth. 8. Happy as a pig in slop. 9. He couldn't say beans if his mouth was full of them! These are just a few off the top of my head. As more come available, I'll post 'em.

I have a mind to make a "citizens arrest" for sayin' sech a thang! Remember? Candy cigarettes are STILL sold down at the Jiffy Mart, wax coke-bottles with "liquid" are still on the market, my beauty shop in Chattanooga STILL uses the coke machine that dispenses the bottles (they're 50 cents now, instead of a dime), the Piggly Wiggly in Charleston, SC still does the green stamps, Family Dollar still sells the metal ice cube trays (they beat the plastic ones!), you can still buy 45's, if you don't go to one of the fancy chain music stores, and we go to the Drive-In in Dunlap, TN every weekend in the summer if the movie's worth seeing! Do I get to deduct those 7 from the "remembry" score at the bottom?

As do lots of others, I seldom write, but read everday. I read over the list of things "remembered" and though I am not yet 50, unfortunately I remembered enough to qualify as "older than dirt". I enjoyed thinking about those things. The was coke bottles with "Koolaid" (we thought) was a favorite. Candy Cigarettes, cokes in bottles, the Juke boxes on the tables, everything listed with only two I hadn't experienced. The phone pre-fix as a word (we knew about it, but had no phone) and mimeograph paper. All the rest were part of my growing up with a close relationship with my Grandparents. I live in their house now, and could most likely FIND one of each thing on that list. I love TAGS as it is a VERY large part of my growing up and a part of my kids and grand-kids too. I see to that at all times. Wash your hands AFTER you eat was, in my house, to keep you from getting your left over food on the furniture, or your clothes. Also it was part of the list you got when you spent the nite with a friend. I'm a bluegrass musician in a band with my husband who is THE Barney in my life. We perform "dooley" whenever we can. And I do a fair rendition of "Dig My Grave With a Silver Spake". When I only have 5 strings on my guitar, I just let that thumb hang loose. Love you all at TAGS. Tell Em Mel Says Hey!!!

Does anybody have any more? > Becky > I'm pretty sure that it has been mentioned on the list before, but I love the one that Andy says in the city council meeting when those people from Hollywood wanted to make a movie in Mayberry. "Ain't we pickin' our peaches 'fore they're fuzzed-up good?" I've heard it a hundred times but it always cracks me up! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 19:10:37 -0600 From: "Linda Poindexter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: funny sayings My all-time favorite is "Don't be a-countin' your peaches before they're fuzzed up good." Say, I notice you have a State Farm address. What office are you at? I'm in the Pacific Northwest in DuPont, Washington. Great to find a TAGS lover at the farm! ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #60 **************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
