It cracks me up every time I hear it. Some others that really twang my buds: - -"Tell her to quit hangin' her head out the window like a dog." - -"What's wrong with third party? Its not dirty." - -"You fall down a well...you're wet." - -"Ain't you got a jack?" - -"Sick as a dog, but having the time of my life." - -"I've heard just about enough about that tomato!" - -"And get that gun out of your mouth." By the way, does anybody else get a kick out of the titles of those fake songs that make Briscoe Darling cry? "Never Hit Your Grandma with a Great Big Stick" gets me every time.

Here are a few of mine: "Oh, hi Otis. Say, I just seen your mother-in-law comin' out of the dentist." "Will you help us?" "We're home!" "Is he armed?" "He is now." "That's the couch I was tellin' you about." "We don't understand French." "All right, all right, all right, ya smell gas! What do you think this car runs on, coal?!" "But I'm not from Greece. I'm from Greensboro." "I think I've heard JUST about enough about that tomato." "...Clarisse Tyler, Maude Clarisse Tyler, Annabelle Tyler, and Ralph Henderson." (and the subsequent look on Andy's face as he stares at the radio) "Why didn't you mail it?" "I wouldn't buy a stamp from that machine!" "Hi, sweetie... Oh, hello, Frank." Paul in Atlanta P.S. I saw "Andy and Helen Get Married" for the first time tonight. What a treat! It was as if meeting a long-lost friend for the first time. My favorite part was Barney's walking down the aisle with bride and groom. :-) Atta boy, Luther! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 07:52:49 -0400 From: "Dan Goodwin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Awaiting a call If Ed Crumpacker calls, I'll be over at the barbershop. dan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 08:26:22 -0400 From: Don Good <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Wedding Bells for A & H I suppose lots of us have now seen tha RFD A & H wedding. I'd seen it years ago and had forgotten it was more about Aunt Bee coming to stay with Sam and Mike rather than A & H getting married. Of course that was to set up Mayberry RFD. I'd also forgotten the parallels between that episode and the first AGS where Aunt Bee came to care for Opie. I enjoyed all of it but have to admit that my favorite part was seeing Mr. Schwump at Andy's bachelor party (I guess they had root beer) and the wedding. I hope others noticed him!

When he first turns on the TV he says something like "How about a little adventure?" - - -Charlie (book 'im Festus) >>> At the beginning of the episode "Howard's New Life," the Taylors sit down to watch one of Aunt Bee's favorite programs, which Andy calls her "travelogue." Whether that's the title of the show or a general term for a show about traveling is uncertain. There was never a prime time network show by that name, so I'd guess the latter. Anyway, the theme music of the "travelogue" is the same as the music heard that time A & H were watching TV that night, so that's probably what they were watching. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 08:28:28 -0500 From: Keith Branyon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry R.F.D. I never liked Mayberry R.F.D. because I always thought it was inferior to TAGS. However, I watched the wedding episode last night on TV Land. Two questions came to mind. 1. When I saw Opie sitting in the church, and I realized that Aunt Bea was going to live with Sam and Mike, was there ever any mention of what happened to Opie? He seemed too young for college, although he could have gone and joined the Marines with Gomer. 2. Goober "played" sheriff while Andy and Helen were on their honeymoon. How was the sheriff part treated in other episodes of Mayberry R.F.D.? Did a new sheriff come to town, or was the role simply not mentioned? "Sick as a dog, but having the time of my life!!" Keith ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 10:13:46 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Adventure Show For Charlie: when Andy turned the TV to an adventure show, the music I heard reminded me of the piece I first heard at Knotts Berry Farm in Calif when I was a kid. They had a diorama of covered wagons and told the story of the pioneers and their westward migration. That music to me signifies the gentle clip-clop of horses on a long journey.

For example, the Dillards MUST have been the model for Larry, Daryl & Daryl on the Bob Newhart show. Any other examples you can think of?

Our very own Sheriff Andy Taylor is one of the choices (of course)! You can vote online at the web link below. It will take you right to the voting page. Let's see if we can get Andy the #1 spot he deserves! See ya, Pam http://www.biography.com/features/dad_poll/ Andy: "I want to tell you something, Opie. And I want you to listen real careful because this is important. You're my young 'un and I love you more than anything or anybody in the whole world, and nothin' or nobody can ever change that. You know, it's hard for me to tell you just how much you mean to me 'cause you're a part of me." Barn: "...so you believe in Mr. McBeevee?" Andy: "No, but I do believe in Opie. There's been a lot of times I've asked him to believe somethin' that to him must've seemed just as impossible. I guess that's when you have to decide if you have faith in somebody or not." Opie: "Pa, do I have to kiss you in front of company?" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 15:57:55 -0400 From: "wayne washburn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: comments about your website Hi,my name is Wayne Washburn.I've been a subscriber to WBMUTBB for about 2 months now.I really enjoy reading it throughout the week. I'm 37 years old and have been a fan of TAGS all my life.I live in Eden NC and was wondering if there is a chapter of the club anywhere nearby.If any reads this and can give me some info ,please e-mail me.Thanks and good luck to you and yours. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 17:27:30 -0400 From: Lisa Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: A & H Get Married I watched the first Mayberry RFD last night when Andy and Helen got married. I have seen all of the TAGS episodes, but never really got into the RFD shows. However, since there was a wedding between Andy and Helen, I had to watch it! I thought the part where they told them to join hands and Barney grabbed Andy's hand was hilarious! And Barney walking up the aisle with them and waving and smiling to everyone was just pure Barney! I'm glad I watched that one. It was great! ------------------------------ Date: 17 May 2001 18:34:04 EST From: SANDRA SILS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Classic one-liners I wasn't going to, because there are so many classic one-liners, but here are a couple of my favorites I want to share: "Next time I go huntin' tigers, I'm gonna take my tweezers." "Tall...dark...and DOOR PRIZE!" "pow...Pow...POW!" and, it's been mentioned before, but the ever popular: "If a quail flew through the room, every woman in it would point!" On a side-note, while we were watching TAGS tonight, my husband wondered how many of you greet each other with the FBI handshake when you attend Mayberry Days?

I saw the discussion about the editing of TAGS on TVLand, so I decided to ask them directly. Here is the entire conversation we had. Use whatever you see fit in the digest. If you don't think it warrants posting in the digest, it won't hurt my feelings. I just thought I'd give everybody the opportunity to see an "official" reason. - ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Chico & Carrie Viars'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 7:28 PM Subject: RE: You've probably heard this before, but... > Thanks for writing.
