Needless to say Clara was devastated, and refused to play "that organ" again. Later when they found an organ through an ad in the Mt. Pilot News and brought it to the church she was priceless to watch. I guess the part I enjoyed the most was when they realized that they would have to give the new organ back and she went along to return it. The gentlemen was Mr. Robinson (also better known as Mr. Hendricks, the butter and egg man) and she actually flirted with him. It was too much to watch the expressions on Andy and Warren's faces when they heard her begin to sing "Some Enchanted Evening". ....once you have found him...never let him go......

W-e-l-l that's not exactly a faux pas, Jacob ... What you see is physics in action - it has to do with motion mechanics and "persistence of vision". A motion picture camera pulls film through 'the gate' at 24fps (frames per second) {cameras can vary their 'pull down' frame rates, but that is usually done for special effects [SFX or just FX] and is called "ramping up or ramping down" [overcrank/undercrank] like slow motion, accelerated motion or time-lapse} and generally is played back at 24fps (even though the frame rate for television/video is 30fps [the frame rate difference is discernible mathematically but the human eye/brain connection doesn't notice the difference]. Objects that turn or rotate offer a compatible persistence of vision ratio at slower speeds when they are filmed, but there is a threshold at which the speed of the object becomes greater while the speed of the film traveling through the gate stays constant. You've seen it many times in westerns where wagon wheels seem to turn backwards or even in car chase scenes the same SEEMS to happen with the tires. The same is true with a helicopter rotor and even to the naked eye, as the rotor slows, at a given speed, your eyes seem to see the rotor as turning backwards and then as it slows even more it magically appears to turn in the accepted direction. As the object slows to a speed that is compatible with the frame rate of the film, the persistence of vision has a chance to 'catch-up' and at that point the object appears to rotate in the accepted direction. The physical principles of vision are parallel to the physical principles of resonant frequencies of sound and light. (when you see someone on television with clothing that has intricate, close patterns, the pattern seems to 'dance'. That's because the visual wavelength of the colors and the closeness of the pattern itself are in the exact same wavelength of the visual spectrum and as such are at par [call it a common denominator if you will] with each other which causes them to resonate (dance). S-o-o-o, Jacob, there ain't nothin' wrong with Gilley's car 'ceptin he drives too fast!!! Tom (Henri D) Strongbow (NOTE FROM ALLAN: You know, Tom.

Our cable company says they are adding it but I haven't seen it yet.... >>> All of you folks who can't get TVLand on your cable company should consider dropping them and getting a satellite dish. Check the rates in your area, and you will probably find that not only will you get LOTS more channels (perhaps several hundred), but the rates will very likely be better than what you're paying now. Not only that, but the picture quality is a lot better. At our house, we have DishNetwork (also known as Dish 500). There are other systems as well, such as DirecTV. One drawback to a dish is that you may or not be able to get your local channels on them, so if you do want to get one, make sure you ask about that. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 00:22:23 -0000 From: "Jim Hady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Moonshinin' I got some GOOD corn liquor over there at the house...it was made somewhere in West TN. Got a friend who lives not too far from Kingsport, TN, and he calls it "Clinch Mountain Holy Water". Don't have any idea what proof it is, but, it makes a nice pretty blue flame, about the color of the "e" for those of you that have Internet Explorer. Peaches make the Moonshine smoother, but be careful if you eat the peaches. Also, grapes are good when they have been put in the corn liquor for a couple months and stuck in the freezer. By the way, I have a real still at the house, though I have never used it.

Here it is (I'm doing this from memory, so please be kind): Andy and Barney return to the courthouse, and talk about how Jimmy will be fine staked out in that field for awhile. Barney starts gathering up the pillows and hay from cell #1 while Andy calls the blasting site and tells them they can get back to work on the underpass, and that the town is safe. Andy then gets up and grabs some hay and pillows and takes them out back with Barney. While they're in the back room, Mayor Stoner and Cy Hudgins (Jimmy's owner) come back into the courthouse and the Mayor says that he's going to be standing by the phone in case any emergency calls come through. They're settin' there talkin' when, *BOOM!* They hear the blasting at the underpass. Not knowing that the blasting has resumed, they believe it's Jimmy who blew up, taking Andy and Barney with him. They remove their hats and stand at attention, and the Mayor speaks sort of a eulogy for Andy and Barney. Andy and Barney are listening in from the back room the whole time. The Mayor's last line is, "What more can be said?" Andy clears his throat and says, "Uh... You wanna run through that part again about being loyal and courageous?" Barney joins in with, "Yeah, and I'd like to hear more about my unchallenged character." The Mayor puffs up, madder'n a hornet, and storms out of the courthouse. "Much obliged, Mayor!!!", is Andy's shout after him, and Cy stays behind to shake hands with Andy and Barney, all three of 'em laughin' and carryin' on. It's a sight to behold! So apparently, Jimmy was left in a nice field to graze until the dynamite "passed" from his system. I hope that clears things up for ever'body. I'll see ya.

I don't know just where the fella that wrote in about moon shining being over in the time period that Andy was filmed in. He must have been one of them Yankee fellers. Moon shining is still alive and well here in Kentucky. Sure we have regular old store bought whiskey. But there ain't never been a store made whisky that could hold a candle to any shine I ever drank. PS: I haven't had a drink in over five years (shine or otherwise) and I am very proud of it. Probably not as proud as Mrs. Dr. Pendyke Jimbo "Dr. Pendyke" Seay ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 22:33:40 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #85 Moonshining to my knowledge is still going on. We live in Ohio and know folks from Northern Kentucky who bring the stuff here in large pickle jars. I was surprised but others seem to think it is natural.

I don't have to tell you, you know who you are. First, Barb was kind enough to email me about her posting the "cool as the center seed of a cucumber" quote and she remembers it as Andy saying it to Barney in the Courthouse, but she cannot recall the episode. If any of you good people out there in Digest-land could fill in that information, I surely would appreciate it as I honestly cannot remember this line at all. Several others have contacted me and they too are at a lost so I know I'm not the only one drawing a blank on this quote. Secondly, do any of you know if any of the episodes were filmed after dark? I ask this because I too went back and noticed that it did indeed seem like it was cold night air in one particular episode. I know tv can make day seem like night, but the actors did seem to be breathing cold air from their mouths and, while they had jackets on for this scene, LA is rarely THAT cold during the day. So, I'm curious about this; more from wondering if TAGS ever filmed at night than how cold it got. Thirdly, something very wonderful is happening to one of our dear members. As many of you may know, Mr. Don Knotts is appearing in a play in Kansas City tonight. Our own Miss Rose was contacted by Mr. Knotts' people and asked if she would be so kind as to meet with Mr. Knotts in person after the play! IF SHE WOULD BE SO KIND! A chance to meet Barney! Like any of us would blow that for any reason? Not even on threat of snake bite would I turn down such a fine invitation. That child was floating on cloud nine and who could blame her? No one deserves it more. And I know she wouldn't write about it so I just had to let you all know because you would be as happy for her as I am, and that kind of happiness needs to be shared. She is a sweet, wonderful person and to know her a little is to love her a lot. Congratulations, Rose, on having a dream come true!

Can anyone else tell what it says? Mary ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 16:26:35 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Happy St. Patrick's Day Faith and begorrah! Happy Saint Paddy's Day to Ernest T. and all you Irishsters out there!! I'm playing my Irish melodies CD today and noticed one of the tunes is that which Rafe Hollister tried to duet with ole' Barn prior to trying out for the talent competition; something about endearing young charms or some such.

Our local station was showing "Irish" episodes of classic shows yesterday, all tinted green! They showed TAGS when Malcolm comes back to town and Ernest T wants to fight him, but Andy tells him Malcolm is Irish. Anyway, if anyone has ever debated the b&w versus color episodes, let me tell you, you haven't seen a colored episode until you've seen a GREEN episode! :-) SMOKEY "How I VOTE, brother, is nobody's business!"--Barney Fife ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #86 **************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
