I hope I'm the first to respond. The "P" stands for either "Milton"
or "Oliver"

I've got a trivia question, that I just noticed last night watching the
"Ernest T. Bass Joins the Army"
episode. The recruiter who is giving the physical exam appears on another
episode of TAGS;
does anyone know what the other episode is?

On the "You can learn from watching Mayberry" ads
on TV Land, where Floyd mentions the wet rock,
they say "Goober and Otis on The Louisiana Purchase",
and instead they show GOMER and Otis.
Get it right TV LAND!

Well I've been off visiting O'Malley and got back to
Dee-Troit, so's I'm reading this a little late, sorry.
I always crack up when Andy says this, because I think it is
a mild double-entendre by the writers because of what
happens afterwards. "How about a little Adventure" as in
turning down the lights, floating that arm out there, and if
I don't miss my guess we might have us a little kissy!

HI Y'all!
In watching the great episode about Opie and his friend printing up a
newspaper,
I noticed that when Barney was giving Opie advice on how to find good "copy",
he
referred to his 'experience' at Central High as a reporter for the school
newspaper. However, I thought Andy and Barney went to Mayberry Union High.
Just an observation...
Speaking of newspapers, did all y'all notice that Andy was reading the Mt.
Airy
News in the episode about Aunt Bee and the butter and egg man?
And, also in that episode, something I'd never noticed before that Aunt Bee
said
to Clara at the kitchen table about Clara's "Boyfriend", Clark, that she's
been
"dating" for 5 years... Aunt Bee says, she says, "does he still cut the
slits in
his shoes?" ha! and that look on Aunt Bee's face when she says this just
pickles me tink, too! but, what does that mean, cutting the slits in his
shoes?
what a hoot! and, is it just me or does everyone get tickled when Clara talks
about her "boy, Gayle".... (i'm assuming that I'm spelling his name
correctly)...
wonder if he liked his mama's pickles as much as his daddy did.
"He buttered her up and she egged him on."
can't help it.. my mind just works that way...

Subject: Big Chicken story
I thought you Mayberry fans would like this story that recently appeared in
our local paper. It sounds like something that could have happened in
Mayberry. Here are some excerpts:
Headline: Buy a restaurant get a (BIG) chicken free (Indianapolis (IN)
Star May 3)
For Sale: Chicken $375 per pound. The realtor sign outside Noblesville's
vacant Aunt Bee's Restaurant doesn't mention the 400 pound fiberglass
chicken out front but perhaps it should. "everybody wants that rooster"
said realtor Paline Wease. She's willing to sell it - for $150,000. The
buyer also gets the 50-year old eatery along south 10th St. that once
housed--you guessed it, a chicken restaurant....
Aunt Bee's owner, Charles Meridith is unwilling to separate the bird and the
building. "You want the chicken you've got to but the building" He received
the landmark giant chicken from a chicken fryer salesman years ago. The guy
said, "If you buy four fryers, I'll give you the chicken" Meridith said.
The nameless bird was a conversation starter among diners, who debated
whether it was a hen or a rooster. THe arguement was never resolved.....
The tables and chairs are still inside the restaurant that has been closed
for a couple years, indicative of the owners hope that it remains a
restaurant. ...If whoever purchases the building changes its restaurant
use, they may have to obtain a zoning variance to keep the chicken.
This is a true story, but this restaurant should not be confused with the
Mayberry Cafe in Danville IN. Noblesville is just 10 minutes from whre I
live.
I was daydreaming the other day and drove past there and I think I heard
someone out front saying something about San Juan Hill and the initials TR.
Do you suppose Teddy Roosevelt drug a 400 pound chicken up San Juan Hill? I
believe his enemy would have dropped their guns laughing so hard, and he
would have won easily. (the truth would not come out though until some boy
like Opie did the research). I think I also heard someone saying something
to the sign painter about I before e except after c and in "chicken". There
was a nice lady out front who found a penny that also seemed awfully
interested in owning the restaurant and wondering how they could make the
chicken look Chinese. Well anyone interested, let me know. I'll get you in
touch with the local office of Fife realty.
Opie: Paw, just what can you do with a 400 pound chicken?
Barney: Well there's a school over in the next county that could use if for
a mascot.
Andy: Barney, That's the Greenville Buzzards. THat chicken don't look
anything like a buzzard!
Barney: Well they could paint it up and make it look real mean and hungry
lookin.
any other ideas???

Subject: Andy's movie debut
Seeing the list of Andy Griffith's movies, it's amazing that "A Face In The
Crowd" was his debut. What impressive range he displayed, and it's a shame
he didn't do more drama like that.
And seeing the reference to "The New Doctor" in the new tape of Ellie
episodes brings to mind one of my favorite sight gaggs: ultra-slender barney
sits up on the examining table with the new doc. Those Fifes are wiry.
And lastly, speaking of favorite lines, I'm partial to:
"Well, you been looking noisy."
"Boy, giraffes are selfish."
"It's not a whim when you put on clean underwear."
and
"I got a hobby. Drinkin.'"

Subject: Slit Shoes
The other night while watching the episode where Clara and Aunt Bee are
visiting, Aunt Bee asks Clara if Clark Cooper still "slits his shoes" What
does that mean, and why would one slit his shoes? Maybe I should get out
more.

Subject: re: slit shoes and recruiter
For Georgia in Mississippi and Bob Smith (Carolyn).
This is about the slit shoes. If the shoes are too tight you would split
them open to let a
toe out. This usually happened on the little toe side of the shoe. My
grand-mother told
me about this when I was younger. A lot of people would do this during
the
Depression.
This is for Kelly.
Now about the recruiter. Be on the WBMUTBB (digest/archives) web site
and click on my name (view other messages by this author) and look for Sat.
May 12, you will see
where I had put the info about this character and other people he played
on the show.
He name is ALLEN MELVIN.
I hope both answers help.
Margaret
