Just wanted ya all to know we've had some bad storms here in Mississippi here lately....fortunately, no tornadoes been hittin' here in the Central part of the State where I live....(Jackson)....North and South of here, tho, been hit pretty bad... so keep those folks in your thoughts.... anyway, had a lot of rain and thunder and all here ... i'm thinkin' of putting a penny out in the storm and see if it gets struck by lightning... ya know, Nat Pike says it's worth 6 cents if it does....

Many of us CLAIM we'd like to live in a Modern-Day Mayberry, but what would that really mean, and would we really want it? Anyone for constructing a list? Would you want to go the Grand Theatre with one screen/one show a week? Would you want all businesses to close on Sundays? Would you want to do your shopping exclusively at Weaver's? Would you want to enter all establishments in order to do business instead of using "drive-throughs?" Would you want to make sure someone's available at home to accept delivery of the eggs and butter? Would you want to have to call THE MAN for any appliance repair? Get the idea? Come on! Add to the list!!! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2001 17:14:25 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: A Modern-Day Mayberry? << Many of us CLAIM we'd like to live in a Modern-Day Mayberry, but what would that really mean, and would we really want it? >> That list you made was a good one and to answer your question, YES!!! 100% I would LOVE for all those things to be true. Wow...wouldn't it be wonderful to be FORCED to live life a little more slowly? Wouldn't it be great to be FORCED to spend time with your family on Sunday because the businesses were closed? Wouldn't it be GREAT to be FORCED to actually slow down and take time to talk to somebody face to face rather than to just drive through in a hurry? Wouldn't it be great to make going to the movies an event rather than just a hurried trip to the multiplex? Wouldn't it be really neat to have a locally owned store where all the folks in there knew you and really cared to make sure you got the treatment you should get at a store? Wouldn't it be WONDERFUL to have a butter and egg man actually BRING you the butter and eggs..and if you're not home they would be able to leave 'em on the porch for you and nobody would steal 'em? Wouldn't it be nice to have a "THE MAN" you could actually trust to do his best to fix your appliances without ripping you off? Wow!! That would be a WONDERFUL place to live and you can be sure that I would give up sitting here at this computer "talking" to all of you to be able to sit on the front porch and TALK to you in person. What a wonderful world our little corner of Mayberry would be.

I know the Andy's "end" to it. "Oh my Barney, Oh my Barney Had a jail...and couldnt lock it, had one bullet for his pistol, had to keep it in his pocket." lots of luck to you and yours mike : -)> "He's....right here....with us? "His spirit Floyd....his spirit." "Oh fine, fine, fine..." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2001 18:42:50 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: littering and annoying individuals Hello all! Just my thoughts on the subjects mentioned: As for Barney's littering, it comes to my mind that he littered up the barn pretty good with gum wrappers while he was watching for that es-cape-ee. Maybe he went back and picked those wrappers up after he swallowed his gum! Also, as far as annoying Andy goes, looks like Arnold Winkler was right up there on the list. He was one more bratty kid! If I was Ange, I'd have had a hard time not taking him to the woodshed myself and not waiting on his daddy to do it! Another annoying one would be Mrs. Beggs, you know, the one with the sister named Tilly who had long teeth?

Best regards: ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2001 20:42:10 -0800 From: "Vern H. Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Push that Car Bea We have been talking about production glitches and inconsistancies lately and I wanted to bring up a couple things that have always seemed strange. In " Barney's First Car" has anyone else ever noticed that when the scene in which Aunt Bee, Ope and Gomer are pushing old Barnes brand new pride and joy, after it konked out, starts to fade out you can see Aunt Bee stand up right before the scene completly ends. Now either Aunt Bee is taking a well deserved break from pushing or she finishes the scene a little early. And yes I know that that isnt really Aunt Bee pushing, but a double. And in the same scene has anyone ever wondered why Old Barn is so distraught that he cant even steer the car and why poor Aunt Bee has to push instead of steer. Well I guess the reason for this might be that Goober hadent taught Bee to drive yet and Barn didnt want any dings and dents along with all the other minor problems. Anybody else ever wondered what was making all the noise that finally fell off. I dont remember the name of this episode but its the one in which Barney locks up the entire town. Old Barn is feeling real low after Ange lets everybody go and decides that he is going spread the roumer that he is going to have to fire Barney because everyone is laughing at him. One of the first two guys he tells is old Chester Jones himself. The one that old Jud threw a board full of checkers at. Then in the next scene Ange is in the barber shop telling another group of guys, including Floyd, and old Chester Jones is in that group also. I always wondered why he looked so surprised the second time he was told. Guess he just has a bad memory. And I'll give you $2.50 change............

Am I right?" Yes, Neil, you are correct! Jean Hagen played the role of Lina Lamont, the glamorous star of silents whose voice had the same soothing quality as sharp fingernails scraping a chalkboard. (Voice coach: "Repeat after me -- I cahn't stahnd him!" Lina: "I caan't staan' 'im!") "Singing in the Rain" is one of my favorite musicals, and Jean is hysterically funny in her role. I highly recommend the movie to anyone who hasn't seen it! Janet ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Trying to correct the Presiding Goober...shame.... especially when you're wrong. If you remember, Gomer found an inspection tag inside the freezer and it was that tag from which the name "Ed" comes. Gomer also found a golf ball and a mousetrap.

Our brand new computer allows us to watch DVDs on it and I'd like to order some if not too expensive. Could you tell me how to do so? I'd be much obliged.

It's the window boxes in the inside views of the court house. Has anyone ever seen anything like them anywhere else and know what they are called. In case anyone isnt sure what I'm referring to, I'm talkin about the triangular wooden boxes at the bottom of the windows in the courthouse. From what I can see it looks like the window goes on down past the top edge of the boxes so I dont think its just some weird kind of window sill. I'm just wondering if these were popular somewhere and what they were called and why they were made like that. Anyone know?

Even said it was their song, and mentioned them doing it on TAGS.
