RE: wbmutbb-digest V3 #256 Misnomers RE: Winnie the Pooh Voice Merchant of Mayberry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 12:54:51 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: A Mayberry joke Sheriff Andy of Mayberry was looking for a deputy, so Barney - who wasn't exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket - went in to try out for the job. "Okay, Barney," Andy drawled, "what is 1 and 1?" "11," Barney replied. Andy thought to himself, "that's not what I meant, but he's right." He then asked Barney, "Okay, what two days of the week start with the letter "T'?" "Today and tomorrow," Barney answered. Again, Andy was surprised that Barney supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself. "Now Barney, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?" Barney looked a little discombobulated, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know." Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?" Andy said. So, Barney wandered over to Floyd's Barbershop where the others were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Barney was exultant. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 13:01:53 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: crowd scene >>> ... could anyone tell me where the crowd footage in Opie's dream came from? Obviously it was a large event with military there because you see a sailor. Would it possibly be footage from an Olympic event? Lots of luck to you and yours Lisa >>> I've often wondered that myself. My first guess is that it's probably from an old baseball film, such as "Pride of the Yankees" or something along those lines. Maybe there's a baseball buff in the chapter who has a collection of those old movies? - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 13:09:56 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: links that don't work >>>Been meaning to ask,.. Why,.. many times,.. when I click on a link someone has posted on the digest,.. I get an error message? Paul Mulik's link to the HOLLYWOOD SQUARES Q&A page would not work when clicked from the digest.However, when I copied and pasted it into my browser's address window,..it worked. Sometimes, what happens is the link gets cut into two or more parts, depending on the size of your window. If part of it "wraps down" to the next line and you click on the first part, you browser may ignore the last part. It usually works better to cut and paste. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 13:05:34 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: painting >>>Can some one tell me the name of the painting hanging over the Taylor's fireplace? I just noticed it and remembered it hanging in my Grandmother's house years ago. Barb >>> The paintings changed from episode to episode, but the one you are probably thinking of is "The Angelus, 1859" by Jean Francois Millet. It shows a man in woman standing in a field, with their heads bowed. You can buy a print of it at Weaver's (www.mayberry.com). There's another painting that pops up in several episodes that I've yet to identify precisely. It's a picture of a big dog. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 11:13:55 -0700 (PDT) From: NOPE JR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 117 Days till Christmas.....a GREAT Idea! That's right, only 117 days till Christmas. Less than that to get to watch "Cartoon Andy" sing "Frosty the Snowman" ! We "Mayberry Citizens" are unique in that we carry that wholesome feeling year round. That same feeling Andy was talking about when he traded Eagle-Eye Annie to the Mayor for Aunt Bee's Bedjacket. I have a chapter idea, Let me know what you think...... If any members' families want to exchange gifts among other members, whether you're a family of 1 to 100. Doesn't have to be expensive, or even Mayberry related, BUT the gift must be carrying that "Mayberry Spirit". Whether homemade pickles or marmalade, or quilt, or new White Bible... you get my point. If you are interested, please drop me a line, I can gather the names of the families, I'll write everyone's names down on a notebook paper and everyone's name on a piece of paper and draw accordingly. I'll send everyone via email the name and address of the family they were pulled for, and then the family sends a gift to the family they received. Like "Secret Santa", but with knowing who sent the gift to your family. I think this is a good thing to get us members closer and make us feel that "Christmas in Mayberry" feeling. Whatdya'll think ? Let me know. - -Jason (Jr) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

Does anyone know where these can be purchased?

As part of our Mayberry Bible Study, I'm looking for personal background information on the actors who were part of TAGS. I know that Jack Prince was a featured vocalist on Johnny Carson's pre-Tonight Show variety show that was on in the mid 50's, and I know he did TAGS. Was he in any other movies or television that anyone is aware of? Also, did he record any albums? Thanks for your help on this.

If not, he sure does sound like it! Thanks, Jennifer >>> That's him all right, Sterling Holloway was the original voice of Winnie the Pooh. Hal Smith (Otis) was Pooh for a while, and Jim Cummings does Pooh's voice now. Hal Smith also did Owl's voice in some Pooh films. Other TAGS actors who have worked on Winnie the Pooh films include Howard Morris (Ernest T.) as Gopher, Clint Howard (Leon) as Roo, as Laurie Main (illustrator for Helen's book) as the narrator. Mr. Holloway did several other Disney voices, including the Cheshire Cat in "Alice in Wonderland," Kaa the snake in "The Jungle Book," Roquefort the mouse in "The Aristocats" and Mr. Stork in "Dumbo." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 14:36:40 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: the "versitus" >>> Sure this has been asked before, but is there a different between bursitus, and .... ...the versitus that plagued cousin Maude("she suffers with it so bad") and Bert the unpushy salesman? Just wondering. Lotsa luck to you and yours--Hopefully never dry as dust, Pastor Neil Engle >>> I checked with a friend of mine who is a doctor, and he said there's no such thing as "versitus." Apparently, "versitus" is a corrupted form of the word "bursitis," which is an actual medical condition. Bursitus: inflammation of a bursa, especially in the shoulder, elbow, or knee joint. Bursa: a sac or saclike bodily cavity, especially one containing a viscous lubricating fluid and located between a tendon and a bone or at points of friction between moving structures. (source: www.dictionary.com) Isn't it odd how some diseases seem to require the word "the" in front of them? For example, nobody ever says "I have flu" or "he has mumps," it's always "the flu" or "the mumps." I wonder what causes THAT? - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 14:25:40 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: middle name >>>Does anyone know if Opie had a middle name? "She turned out the light to cool off the room and bam!! were engaged " Jeff He may have had one, but it was never used in any episode. We learn Andy's and Barney's middle names (in the episode "Class Reunion," et al) but off the top of my head I don't think any other main character's middle name is ever mentioned, except for Thelma Lou (but we don't know her LAST name, and no, Ellie Walker's middle name was never given in any episode). - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 14:41:21 -0500 From: Dawn Biegelsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Bert Miller/Sterling Holloway Jennifer, Yes, the amazing Sterling Holloway was the voice of the "Disney" Pooh. He was also the voice of Cheshire Cat in Disney's "Alice in Wonderland," Kaa the snake in Disney's "Jungle Book" and Roquefort the mouse in Disney's "Aristocats." Probably some others, too.

This is the one where Andy and Barney help Bert Miller set up his stand. I was wondering if Sterling Holloway--the actor who played Bert was/is the voice of Winnie the Pooh? If not, he sure does sound like it! Thanks, Jennifer ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 16:15:12 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TAGS/Mayberry Stationary/stickers? Does anyone know where you can find "TAGS/Mayberry" stationary and or stickers? Do they even make them? I love to send letters (not the chain kind) and I would like to have stationary an address label made up with my address on a theme label from the show. Bet they'd sell like hot Johnny cakes if we could get us some! Wonder if it would be "again" the law for someone to make us some? ~Gail in Bama Starlings...oh...your full of beans!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 16:50:51 -0400 From: "Samuel Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: wbmutbb-digest V3 #256 Hi Jennifer, Yes, Sterling Holloway was the voice of Winnie the Pooh! There's no mistaking that voice. :) Sam ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 17:19:21 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Misnomers > << Sure this has been asked before, but is there a different between > bursitus, and > the versitus that plagued cousin Maude("she suffers with it so bad") and > Bert the > unpushy salesman? >> > > Acccording to Dr. Goober (yours truly) - it's just a mispronunciation. > Medical terms are often confusing since hardly no one speaks clearly except > for Cary Grant.

I think the narrator may have mentioned that before the show. H also played the professor who made all the goofy gadgets in the later Superman shows starring George Reeves. One of hisinventions waswhen he invented a time machine and sent Jimmy Lois and the chief and Superman back to 1 million bc.
