I had a limited edition game, but did not open it. This one I just got, I have opened it. It is great. For all of those who don't have it, I'd like to suggest you purchase one at your local neighborhood Weaver's Department Store or your local "Bullet". My question is, does anyone know if there are any plans on addin' more questions to the game. Me & my wife played it four times the first night and I've got a feelin' I'm gonna run out of questions real quick.

I've tried the one for Sarah's Die-hard fans, but I can never get through to that one. Not that I don't love this digest, you understand ... but it would be fun to be in a chat room while the marathon is going on.

And are DVDs like CDs that you can play on your computer? I'm not up on technology as you can see and I really appreciate you younger folks' advice. Meanwhile, does anyone have a recipe for cashew fudge for the marathon? Or do you just put chopped cashews instead of pecans in regular fudge?

I see that at 2pm my good friend Jimmy Best will be on playing his Jim Lindsey style of guitar. And yes, I now have the pickles from the store for the 9pm saturday episode. I even bought some fuzzed up peaches. I also made sure the cable bill was paid, LOL and thought about calling the mayberry cafe up in danville to see if they would cater me in a boiled dinner, and if anybody comes knocking on the door and distracts the proceedings they will be placed under citizens arrest at 11pm. Only thing that I WON'T have in stock will be spirits because one loaded goat in this town is enough. Oh, and I've decided to go ahead and invite Gomer, since with the mess i'm bound to make he can run the sweeper in the middle of the night and help keep me awake to see the convicts dance with Al at 3am. Oh, and Paul, the only pinball machine name I can remember whenever I played was TILT, LOL Mike Peacock, Connersville Indiana ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 20:43:27 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bride For Jeff Pruitt Hey, I just watched a really good Andy tonight!!

I would go back in a heartbeat. Here's one my mom told me about when she was growing up. She said that on Saturdays the family dressed up and went to town for an all day affair. She said that when my grandmother and her four younguns got tired they would sit in a stranger's car until they were rested then they would go on about their business. Can you imagine that happening now? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 22:35:39 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tricia Fendt) Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #72 Hi Everybody down home, Was channel surfing the other night and saw a program on "Burlesque" and I know that a lot of people will not believe this but I used to go to the shows just to see the comics, years ago. Well anyway, who do you suppose I happened to see among the comic acts doing a funny bit with umbrellas ? Yep, Barnie and Andy ! It was a silent bit, only five minutes or so, but very funny. I think it was on the history channel but am not certain. Just never knew that they did vaudeville skits way back. Anybody know how long these two great comedians have been together ? Well, love to all the folks in town, Frank C. Fendt Chameleon and a Clown Magically yours. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 22:35:39 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tricia Fendt) Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #72 Hi Everybody down home, Was channel surfing the other night and saw a program on "Burlesque" and I know that a lot of people will not believe this but I used to go to the shows just to see the comics, years ago.

A couple of folks have pointed out that there are also a lot of negative aspects of small-town life. Human nature being what it is, there will be problems wherever you go. However, as one who grew up in the country near small towns and who presently lives in a small town, I believe the positives far outweigh the negatives. One of the things mentioned early on (by Allan, I think) was going into a store and getting personal attention. This reminded me of my home town of Coal City, Indiana (like Mayberry, only much smaller!). When I was a little girl, my mother shopped at Herb Reagan's grocery store. It was housed in a nineteenth-century, two-story brick building with wood plank flooring and very high ceilings. If memory serves, it only had three aisles! But what I remember most is Mr. Reagan himself. He was like Barney -- kind behind the eyes -- and always wore a warm, friendly smile. He must have had a special fondness for kids because whenever I would come in with my mom, he would sneak up behind me and slip a couple of penny candies into my hand. To me, at the time, that was a big deal, and I've never forgotten it! To me, Herb Reagan represents the Mayberry ideal of small-town life. Now, folks, if you really want to visit a modern-day Mayberry, you should check out the "Mayberry of the Midwest," Clay City, Indiana. Clay City is my "other" home town. It's a little closer in size to our TV Mayberry and has retained many Mayberry-like qualities. There are lots of fine, friendly people, and a real sense of community exists between them. So if you're ever in the southcentral part of Indiana, drop on by. They even have a visitors' center and a web site (www.claycity.net).

If you consider Platonic Realism, then Mayberry is the essence of a small town, and only those Philosopher Kings out there are lucky enough to grasp the true nature of "Mayberryness." For myself, I think I'll just keep trying to achieve the ideal until I get as close as I can. Best regards Bruce and Mary Nail ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 21:48:48 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: help We don't get TV Land, but I am driving 8 hours to stay with my parents so I can watch the Andy Griffith Show this weekend. Can someone please tell me which episode has the song "Oh My Barney;" the one you all have been talking about. I do not want to miss that one, and my parents don't have a VCR. Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 06:36:38 -0800 (PST) From: NOPE JR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: cashew fudge recipe Is there an "unofficial-official" recipe for a pan of cashew fudge. There's no doctor show on, but I want to make some for the marathon this weekend. thanks, Jason " He made his bed......let him sleep" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Ted ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 08:51:47 -0500 From: "Paul Gilkes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS sightings; Columbia House tapes; Mayberry Memories Sorry for cramming a number of thoughts all in one e-mail, but that's how they came together. Last weekend, American Movie Classics aired "Creature from the Black Lagoon" starring Julie Adams (the credits list it as Julia, which she had changed by the time she appeared on TAGS as the country nurse trying to give Rafe Hollister his shots) as a research assistant, and as the captain of the boat to the lagoon, Nestor Paiva (he played the moonshiner providing Otis with his supply of hootch in "The Haunted House" episode. Got a notice from Columbia House announcing that one of the four-episode TAGS tapes was withdrawn, the 11th in the series. I called Columbia House and they said the promotional literature was printed and shipped before they had gotten complete rights to issue those episodes so had to pull them from the list, at least for now. But I was assured there are enough tapes available to offer one per month from March through the end of November. My copy of "Mayberry Memories" has logged more frequent flier miles than I have. Since I obtained my copy last year just before the Birmingham reunion show in October, I had the stars that attended the show sign the book, and have been sending the book around the country to celebrities who have made one or more appearances on the show. I just got the book back from Buddy Ebsen, "Opie's Hobo Friend", who I've made arrangements to have lunch with in May when I travel to California on business. Buddy is a spry 92. I've also reached success with Dennis Rush (Opie's friend Howie Pruitt from Miracle Salve fame), Keith Thibodeaux (Johnny Paul Jason), Earl Hagen (TAGS composer and the whistler himself), Aaron Ruben (TAGS producer and creator of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.) among others. It's off next to Frank Cady, who played Mayberry's first drunk before Hal Smith as Otis. Cady is best remembered as grocer Sam Drucker from Green Acres, Petticoat Junction and Beverly Hillbillies.
