But one that really gets me is from the reporter when she and the mayor pop in at Floyd's. (Didn't someone recently ask how many women ever appeared INSIDE the barber shop?) She interrupts Andy bragging about reeling in an extra big carp and having his picture taken with it. "Maybe you've read my column? Meandering with Margaret?" Remember her lines? "You mean you wouldn't kill a carp where you come from?" (the mayor) "NOOOO!!! No more'n we'd kill a pike!" That was A-ONE writing! But it don't count if you don't add a natural Southern drawl! Roll with it!

Saw the episode the other night where Barney buys the fox for Thema Lou from Don Rickles and loved when Barney in response to how the fur was coming out said Bunnnches Bunnnches.

He was Harry Bectorus, husband of Ramona (Wiley) Bectorus..."social studies 1A?..."Tweeky"?..."The tears on my pillow bespeak the pain that's in my heart!"

I wasn't refering to Allan Melvin, I was talking about the recruiter who was giving the physical exams- he told Ernest T. to open up and say ahh and put that wooden stick in his mouth... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 15:09:10 -0500 From: "Beth Perona" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: one liners, Gunsmoke, and a TAGS desktop theme... I've been catching up on the last few Digests and wanted to throw my $.02 in. There's one line I don't remember being mentioned yet that we use at our house frequently. Anytime our family is getting ready to go somewhere, it's inevitable that one of us will say, "Everybody on the truck!" It doesn't matter that we don't have a truck, we just have to say it anyway! :-D On the subject of the Gunsmoke radio show, it was only a couple of years ago that I found out that Howard McNear and Parley Baer were both on it. Since then I've been listening to the few cassettes that our library has and downloading MP3 files from the internet to listen to. They're fun! And for Jake (and anyone else) who was looking for a TAGS desktop theme -- you'll find some at http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/index.htm (look on the right side of the screen for "Themes & Screen Savers"). I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend! Beth "BREAD!" Perona >^..^< ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 16:40:35 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The Age of Goober Hello All, I noticed something last night that I had never had before. In the Punch in Nose episode Andy and Barney talk about the incident as happening 18 years ago. Later in the episode Goober says he was only 5 when it happened. Now is it just me or does he look a little older than 23? Just wondering. "I dont recall us having a number theif around for ages."

I think it's around 90? So, if TVLand shows 2 a day, per weekday, I'll have 9 weeks to work around the house, watch other shows, and play with my dogs, until the real shows come back on! And, of course, keep current with WBMUTBB online. Regis (worshiper of Mammon) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

On another note: >>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?<< Why yes, that's Mr. Harry Becktoris. He married Ramona, Barney's sweetheart that use to call him "Tweeky". I tried sending this earlier, but my mail came back undeliverable, so I thought I would give it another whirl.

I feel like with the number of new members we've gotten lately that it's time to restate "The Rules" for everybody. You old-timers might want to read through this just to refresh your memories and I think it's good for all of us to try and remember these tried and true rules.---- Allan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey Everybody, Boy, things have really been growing here in out little corner of Mayberry!! Because of that I think it's time to remind everyone what WBMUTBB is all about: We all know what Mayberry is about but do we realize why it is that we all visit there everyday? I know that the characters are great but more than that, they're friends. We "know" these people and it's just a joy to visit them every chance we get to watch them as they work their way through getting locked in a cell because the door "clangs shut" or any of the other wonderful situations they face. Things always work out in a wonderful way leaving a smile on our faces. Mayberry is an escape from the day-to-day trials we all face. A short trip to a place where every body cares about one another and where we can forget, for a while, the fact that "real life" isn't as much like that as we'd like. I started WBMUTBB back in 1990, along with several other good folks, and since then I've tried to make it as much like a "corner of Mayberry" as possible. I wanted this place to be somewhere folks could go and forget about the outside world and relax by reading about Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt Bee, and the rest of our Mayberry family. To try and make that happen I've required everyone who wanted to join to tell us a little about themselves so we could get to know them just a little bit. After all, in Mayberry everyone knew everybody else and how can we have a community without having at least some idea about our neighbors? I've also had a couple of rules here and I try to enforce them. Of course Rule #1 is...you guessed it...Obey all rules. Rule #2 is this: Talk about the things you like about Mayberry..not things you don't like. I know some folks forget this second rule sometimes and they don't really understand WHY I think Rule #2 is important so let me just give you an example. Let's say I were to say, "Boy, I really hate Barney. I mean, look how stupid he is and poor Andy has to put up with him." If I said that (and meant it) what are the first things that happen to you? First you'd feel like, "Man, that guys a jerk!" Then you'd get aggravated at this guy talking about your Favorite character (and friend), Barney Fife. Even if Barney's not your very favorite character, you'd likely be upset about this guy talking about your neighbor. I've never heard anyone say anything like that about Barn but I have about other characters and folks forget that just because they don't like a particular character doesn't mean that character isn't someone elses favorite. You see, if I talk about your favorite character saying negative things about 'em it takes your fun away. I think that's enough about Rule #2 and I hope you all understand the rule. It's not to take away from your fun but to encourage you all to tell us about what's fun to you and share your good feelings with others. We have something special here. It's something you don't find often on the internet. No "flames", no "fighting", no "foul language." We have a place that children and adults can come and enjoy themselves. Mayberry is a wonderful place and I'm just glad to be a part of this little corner of it. Your Friend and neighbor, Allan Newsome "Who's Been Messin' Up the Bulletin Board?"

Fife Forgetting about Barney's other middle names of "Milton" and "Oliver", let me raise a trivial yet interesting question concerning his middle initial of "P"? (BTW, I always thought the writers borrowed it from the "pea" in his whistle). Here it is: Supposin' you was a writer on the TAGS set back in 1963, and Aaron Ruben came up to you and asked what you'd have the "P" initial in Barney's name stand for. What name would you conjure up that would be most befitting? p.s. No common names like Peter, Paul, or Philip will be accepted. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 May 2001 07:22:21 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Was Aunt Bee Ever Married? Hey Tags Members: I was watchung the Andry Griffith show the other day where opie wrecked his bike, and had to get a job to pay for it, then he got fired because Billie needed the job to help his family pays some bills. Did anybody besides me catcch where Andy called Aunt Bee by the lasy name Taylor? Now it seems to me if Aunt Bee was Andys mother sister, she would not be a Taylor, but if she was a sister to andys dad, now that a different story, she would be a Taylor, so did I hear it wrong? Or did he call her Bee Taylor? If any ones know if Aunt Bee was ever married I would like to hear from you. Thanks Mary From Macon Ga.
