I remember all 25!
How many times was Andy in shorts? I remember one fishing scene, in a row
boat w/Opie.
I received a nice reminder about getting the right 'bubble gum machine' for
my Mayberry cruiser. Now, I ask you; would Andy care 'if it was the right
one'?

Subject: Gosh
I grew up in the inner-city, but remember party lines, phone #'s with a name
(ours was MElrose, my dad's business WAbash). I think our ring was two short,
one long! We even had our own chickens & rooster. I'm only 50...
I lived for six years in a regular Mayberry, in S.W Indiana. Jasonville, IN
(Greene Co.) is a coal-mining community of 3000 souls. We had no pre-fix on
our phone, just dial 4 numbers!
As for soda pop...we had a local co., NEHI, that made an out-of-this-world
Creme Soda!

Subject: Andy in short sleeves
This episode may have been mentioned already, but I already deleted the
previous digest, so - Andy had short sleeves on his
bowling shirt when Howard played that perfect game. Please forgive my faulty
memory if it was already on the list...

Subject: keeping those Howdy Doody videos for grandkids
Those sure are nice folks, buying videos of Howdy Doody show for their
grandkids.
They mentioned they had NOT opened them, but were keeping them back for those
children.
They might re-think that idea of not opening them. From what I see and read
about VCRs and videos, video tape recorders/players are on their way out;
Has ANYBODY tried finding a new vcr with all the stuff you want, LATELY? It
is getting harder and harder to find vcrs. Now, when you go to the "__"-marts
and electronics stores, vcr's are scarce.
Maybe, consider opening up those videos and enjoy them NOW.
somethin' to think about....

Subject: Skippy
I'm sure I'm the last one to notice, but on a Walton's Show, I saw Skippy. It
was the show where John Boy entered the marathon dance contest. Skippy was
dancing with another fellow, who had heart problems.

Subject: TAGSRWC, Jim Clark, & Allan Newsome
I just put in an order for the TAGS trivia game from
Weaver's. Now don't think I'm just now gettin' one.
I've had a "Limited Edition" one for quite a while,
but I won't open it. I'm just now getttin' around to
orderin' one I can open and play. Everytime I order
something from the Bullet or from Weaver's, I wonder
how Jim Clark does it.
Most of the stuff he has, he sells at or below the
cost that you can get it anywhere else. And he only
charges $5 S/H. I ordered a bunch of stuff from him a
while back and it had to be shipped in 2 boxes. The
total S/H on it was around $9, but I was only made to
pay $5. Ain't he a saint. I don't see how he's
makin' enough money to even keep us up for all our
orders. I've ordered before and give a little extra
if I think I've ordered an extra big order.
I don't want to squander my money like Opie or be a
piker like Barney, but I do like to give a little for
Mr. Lesch's favorite charity when I can. Cause the
money that goes toward TAGSRWC eventually gets back to
us in good prices, good shows, or just good feelings.
So when you order something from Jim or if you see him
around, drop an extra note of thanks for all that he
has done for us, all he is doin' for us, and all that
he continutes to do for us in the future.
And also thank Allan Newsome. He helps to put out a
great Digest, helps run a great homepage, and makes
you feel that great Mayberry spirit when you're around
him, whether in character or not.

Subject: Trivial Pursuit
Hey All,
I had a great experience playing Trivial Pursuit last night. I got a question
that for me, was the easiest one I have ever seen.
"What Mayberry resident thinks a big time in Raleigh involves a corner room
at the YMCA?"
It just made my day. Mayberry is everywhere.

Subject: Mayberry Bible Study
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi everyone. I've never posted before but I keep up with the digests and
find them very interesting. Awhile back, there was discussion about the
Mayberry Bible Study. My church did a Mayberry Bible Studay end of last
year and it was great! They held it on Wednesday nights and included in
each study (four studies) was a Mayberry show. I didn't think they'd play
the whole show, maybe just clips to make their point but to my surprise, the
whole show was played! It was wonderful sitting there and listening to
everyone laugh along with me. And it was weird watching TAGS in church! I
hope they get in the next series soon!

Subject: First Annual Mayberry Squad Car Nationals
Fayette, Ala., to Host
First Annual Mayberry Squad Car Nationals
FAYETTE, ALA., February 21, 2001--Well, it was bound to happen sooner or
later. Somebody has finally gone and combined auto racing and Mayberry to
create the First Annual Mayberry Squad Car Nationals to be held at the old
airport runway at Guthrie Smith Park, located on Hwy. 43 near Freeman
Chevrolet, in Fayette, Ala., on March 17. Gates open at 11 a.m. with
entertainment and hearty eatinb. Racing will run from about 1 to 5 p.m.
The
event is dedicated to the memory of Dale Earnhardt Sr.
All it took was for "Hearty Eatinb Men and Beautiful, Delicate Women"
chapter
(Tuscaloosa, Ala.) of "The Andy Griffith Show" Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC)
to get their own Mayberry Squad Car replica rolling and then it was a given
that they would want to be racing it. (Speed, speed, speed. Thatbs all
they
understand. Well, that and eat, eat, eat.)
"We love Mayberry and we love cars and racing," says Kenneth Junkin, event
organizer and "Hearty Eatinb" representative. "We thought this would make
an
outstanding and genuinely fun entertainment event for our area. "Plus,"
Junkin admits, "We want to show off our new Mayberry Squad Car and how fast
itbll go."
Junkin is not alone. Mayberry Squad Car replicas are expected to attend from
elsewhere in Alabama and from Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and,
believe it or not, from as far away as Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
The Mayberry Squad Car Nationals is being dedicated to the memory of late
NASCAR great Dale Earnhardt Sr. A portion of the proceeds from the event
will be donated to Foundation for the Carolinas, a charity designated by the
Earnhardt family for memorial donations. In addition to Dale Earnhardtbs
obvious love of racing, he was also known to be an avid fan of "The Andy
Griffith Show."
"Like all racing fans, we are devastated by the tragic death of Dale
Earnhardt," Kenneth Junkin said on behalf of his fellow Mayberry Squad Car
Nationals organizers. "Since he shared our love for both racing and
Mayberry, we really want to do something with our event to pay special
tribute to him."
Respected Alabama television sports anchor (and Mayberry enthusiast) Mike
Raita will head up a Goober panel that will judge the Mayberry Squad Cars for
their "Appearance Authenticity," (that is, how much they look like the squad
cars on "The Andy Griffith Show" itself). Raita and Fayette High School
football coach Waldon Tucker also will get behind the wheel and duel in a
special "2 out of 3" drag race in selected Mayberry Squad Cars.
Other personalities on hand will be renowned impersonator David "Barney"
Browning, the magical Allan "Floyd" Newsome and Jamie "Opie" Sullivan. In
addition, the event will feature all sorts of other goings-on (including
Mayberry trivia and theme-song whistling contests, music, and of course
plenty of hearty eatinb).
All individuals who have Mayberry Squad Car replicas that they would like to
race (itbll be in a controlled way that wonbt endanger the engines and
other
parts of the cars) or bring for display, are invited to contact Kenneth
Junkin at (205) 364-7727 for more information or to reserve a racing spot.
Otherwise, Mayberry and racing fans (or anybody else whobs just curious) can
simply show up on March 17 and pay only $5.00 per person (kids 12 and under
get in free with a paying adult). Advance tickets may be purchased by
calling Kenneth Junkin at the above number.
For anyone who is attending from fairly far away and needs overnight lodging,
Tuscaloosa to the southeast will be the biggest town fairly nearby with the
most hotel accommodations. (The University Days Inn in Tuscaloosa is the
official host hotel.)
The organizing sponsor of the First Annual Mayberry Squad Car Nationals is
the "Hearty Eatinb Men and Beautiful, Delicate Women" chapter of TAGSRWC.
Other sponsors include the Fayette Quarterback Club and the world-wide
organization of TAGSRWC.
Get revved up for an action-packed day of fun that promises to make a bit a
history for both racing and Mayberry.
