Subject: Jack tales
To Aunt Bee of Orlando,
"The Jack Tales" is a collection of stories from the Appalachian
mountain areas of NC, VA (my home), and WV. They are mostly about, believe
it or not, a boy named Jack and his misadventures groing up in the
mountains. When I was in about 5th grade, the teacher read the book to us to
give us an idea of our heritage. Kinda scary when I look back at it. The
only 2 I remember are "Jack & the bean tree" (you can probably guess the
story line here) and "Sop Doll" which is about Jack meeting up with a witch
disguised as a black cat. Best as I remember, ol' Jack didn't rhyme very
well or throw rocks or anything, so naturally, I don't remember all of the
stories as well as I do the words to "Ol Aunt Moria". Y'all ain't talkin to
a jerk, ya know?!?

Subject: welsh rabbit
I believe the correct term is Welsh RAREBIT instead of rabbit. Common
mistake.
In the episode of where Barney and the Mayor get loaded from drinking out of
the cooler:
I surely believe a trained law officer could have told when he was drinking
booze instead of stale water. But, then, we would have missed a classic show.

Subject: Welsh Rarebit
I've seen references to Welsh Rabbit, but it is more commonly called Welsh
Rarebit. It is something that Malcom Merriweather would probably fix - a
sauce made from cheese and beer, poured over toast and served at High Tea.
I've seen a Stouffer's version in the frozen food section.

Subject: Andy playing instruments
Did he ever play a flute-type instrument? I think
they're called recorders. Or was it Barney?
Also, I thought that Andy played the baritone, not a
tuba. Or is there a difference?

I believe it is welsh rarebit (spelling?). You can get in frozen foods at
your local grocer. Stuffers makes it.
I had it and had numerous sleep walking episodes.

Subject: Mr. Weaver on Gomer Pyle
Hey to you and yours,
Just wondering if anyone caught the Gomer Pyle episode last weekend where
Louanne Poovey's father came to visit? Did you recognize him? Who did he
play on The Andy Griffith Show? I know the answer, but I'm going to see if
anyone elsedes does. Hint: he was in the episode where Barney catches a
shoplifter at the local department store.

Hello everybody,
I wanted to respond to a couple of postings in the last digest...the first is
about the meal Gomer eats and sleepwalks. It is actually 'Welsh rarebit' but
I have no idea what is in it. The second is about 'frick and frack' that
were mentioned as the brothers Magliozzi that gave out car advice...they
actually go by the names "Click and Clack". I have always used the
expression 'frick and frack' to refer to people the same as I would use the
term 'two peas in a pod'. 'Til next time...

Sorry, I've fallen behind reading the digest lately, but when I came across
this one last night I had to weigh in. McBeevee (a made up surname anyway)
could very well be a Scottish name. Quite a few Scots, including ones who
settled in North Carolina (and there were a bunch of them), have lost the "a"
in "Mac" somewhere along the way, either by choice or by poor recordkeepers
in the New World. My ancestors are Macleans of Duart from the Isle of Mull in
Scotland, and I'm a McLean. There are tons of "McScots" in North Carolina.
And to add to the moonshine discussion, here's this tidbit: Even if Mayberry
were a "wet" county, mooshining would be illegal because it would be untaxed
liquor. That's why moonshiners fear them "revenuers."

Gomer was eating cheese sauce, not the Easter Bunny, here's an explanation

Subject: pickups & splashes from floor and pool
The other day, I had a post about the class reunion show....pointing out how
it was funny they forgot so many names. I asked a question in there, just
in passing "Did Edna Thoge ever make it?" After hitting the send, I
thought of an answer to that...but I waited to see if anyone else jumped in.
Edna Thoge was still "debating" whether to come or not....I'm surprised
Barney didn't think of that one.
What a nice farewell from the lady who had to go offline for a while. Got
me pondering..."Who left the real Mayberry?" We know there were several
characters that just seemed to disappear from one season to the next (like
Ellie Walker...or Peggy), but who are we told is actually leaving town?
Henry the Jinx thought about it....Otis did leave for a while...an
oh how they missed him...Why, if that Ed Crumpacker thing came through, even
Andy would have left??? But who really did leave Mayberry? I don't have a
set answer, just looking for some discussion. At least one main character
did leave..but who else?
Thanks Chicken Thief for that fine summary of episode titles, and what movie
titles they were based on. fascinating piece of info....Why, you ought to
upgrade to cow thief.
One more deep subject "well" Ever notice how many times folks react with
the simple response ..."well"
Sometimes it seems to mean "Well I guess we don't have a choice" sometimes
it's an answer to something embarassing..like 'Well...I guess I should have
known better" Ever notice the different Wells? (and don't answer with
"well') Well....
Goober: Is it alright if I tag along with you and Helen, Andy?

Does anyone make a toy die-cast (1:64 or larger) replica of the squad car? If
so, where can you get one? I've never noticed one listed at Weaver's, but I
bet it would be a big seller.

Speaking of Welch Rabbit, was that Old Mr. Shwump seated near Gomer in the
diner.
Also Clara Edwards was on one episode of Gomer Pyle teaching a rug hooking

I can answer that for ya! It comes from the actual term 'Welsh rare-bit'
which indeed is a cheese sauce served over a sourdough bread. Some
people add ham, some make it with english muffins, but it is basically a
cheese and bread dish that never contained rabbit. The true recipe comes
from Wales and was a favorite lunch of the welsh well-diggers.

There was an episode of Gomer Pyle on today where Sgt. Carter was talking
about how he had just recently bought a septic tank for his parents!

Subject: Them ain't Welsh rabbits - they're Irishter rabbits!
Sorry for the subject line...it's almost spring break and my brain has already
gone on vacation! Anyway, someone was asking about Welsh rabbits. I think it
is Welsh rarebit - not rabbit. But I don't know how to cook either one of them
- rarebit or rabbit. Sorry! :)

You're thinking of Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers (real names Tom and
Ray Magliozzi). The name of the show is Car Talk.
>>>My question to the troops: What indeed is "welsh rabbit" ?
It's not welsh rabbit, it's Welsh Rarebit. It's basically melted cheese
served over toast, but there are lots of variations. Some folks add butter,
mustard, hot sauce, beer, Worcestershire sauce, or whatever.

Subject: "What It Was . . ." Video
I don't know whether this has been mentioned on the digest before, but there
is a new video out based on Andy Griffith's "What It Was Was Football." It
was put together by Duncan Brantley and his Eat A Peach Pictures in
Wilmington, N.C. I've seen it, and it's pretty good. As a University of North
Carolina alumnus, I especially liked the little snippets from old UNC
football games, including the gone-but-not-forgotten card section.
Here's what the Eat A Peach Web site says:
"In an update of this comedy classic about a country bumpkin who
inadvertently stumbles into a college football game, director Duncan Brantley
has married Griffith's comedy recording with 1950's motion-picture footage to
create this delightful and hilarious homage."
For more information, or to order, go to:
http://www.eatapeach.com/football.html
Full disclosure: I have no financial interest in Eat A Peach Pictures, but I
did work briefly with Duncan Brantley at the University of North Carolina
Office of Sports Information back in 1980-81.
