Subject: Chistmas Episode
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 07:48:28 -0500
There have been some comments about it being a shame there weren't more
Christmas episodes, but I got to thinking about that thing. The biggest
problem the writers would have had would have been writing something that
would have been as good. Just look at the elements contained in that single
show:
Family
Friends (Ellie & Barn)
Helping others (The Muggins family
Decorating and lighting the tree
Carols
Traditions (Barney's turn to play Santa)
Christmas Feast
Giving of gifts
Spreading of good will (How they treated Ben)
Bringing someone back to the real feeling of Christmas (ol' Ben)
It is truly a gem and I'm sorta glad we don't have any others to compare
against it.

Maybe someone's already mentioned it, but in Man in a Hurry, there is the
reference to the lens grinder
from Hutchinson, Kansas. Hutchinson is twenty miles from here (McPherson),
and was Aneta Corsaut's
hometown. Pastor Neil (Hopefully never dry as dust) Engle.

This is in response to the jump rope phrase:
My mother, your mother lives
across the way, every night theyd have a fight and this is what theys
say.......(this part I dont know) out goes you!" The episode is the Haunted
House if that helps you at all.
This is also in the episode where Opie trains for the medal in the 50 yd
dash! Right before Barney is offered to come over and play jacks!!!

To the gentleman from Kansas. There is at least one episode of tags that
mentions Kansas. If I remember correctly, it was the one where Andy ran across
a newspaper article about Helen being arrested while in the company of
gangsters and having a gun in her purse. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey Troy,
I don't have that episode fresh in my mind, so I don't know what Barney
says, but as kids we used to say a similar "Soda-cracker" chant to determine
who was "it" (in games like tag or hide-and seek):
"Icka-backa soda cracker
Icka-backa boo,
Icka-backa soda cracker
Out goes YOU"
Maybe Barney said that?
Michelle mentioned the "alligator purse" thing. I remember the girls on the
school-bus playing hand-slaps and saying that rhyme. Another was "Miss Mary
Mac." Anyone remember that one?
"Miss Mary Mac
All dressed in black
With silver buttons
All down her back
She asked her mother
for fifteen cents
To see the elephant
Jump over the fence
He jumped so high
He touched the sky
And he won't be back
til the fourth of July"

I think the way we used to say it was
My mother your mother lives across the way Every night they'd have a
fight & this is what they'd say. Nickerbocker Soda cracker, nickerbocker
boo, my mother says out goes you. Of course there might be other or
newer versions as this was back in the 30s, & my memory isn't what it
use to be.

Folks,
I'm going to have to ask again that this discussion be stopped. I had
already asked that we refrain from this topic because I knew it would likely
come to name calling and well, I give a rude to everybody that talked about
this after I asked that it be stopped.
This is not the place for this discussion. We have a WBMUTBB Prayers &
Praises mailing list and discussion of religious topics are welcome there.
If you would like to sign up, just send an e-mail to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
We'd be glad to have you.
Thank you all for doing as I request.

Subject: Professions and A Dream
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 18:15:57 -0500
I've been meaning to send this in for some time and the discussions about
the different professions in Mayberry jogged my memory enough to do so.
Way last year I was thinking and discussing this idea with another WBMUTBB
member about how many members the Digest had grown to have. Then as the
discussion got deeper, we were trying estimate how much money each member
would have to contribute to be able to buy our own Mayberry. Sort of like
that movie actress did when she bought that town in Georgia. Then we
started dreaming about the different professions that each of our members
could bring. Of course there would be many duplicates. But, I know we have
enough folks with different talents that we could easily populate and run a
small town. Now remember this is just fantasy.
Now expanding on this fantasy, and regardless of what you do now for a
living, if you were to move to Mayberry what would you want to be.
I'll start the ball rolling. I'd like to be the man that owned that little
groceteria where Andy was when that collie dog came in that had been shaved
for the summer. You know the one where Al Becker was. Y'all know Al
Becker, right? Oh you don't know Al Becker. Well, it don't mean anything
if you don't know him.

Hello everyone, Well the easy one is Helen Crump being from Kansas. I
really can't think of any others and for Louisiania didn't Andy mention when
he and Barney headed out on a trip there. But their car broke down before
they got very far, now well have to start on the M's and the N's.

I'm sorry, but the "Go up an alley and holler fish" was a Gomer line in
"Citizen's Arrest," not a Goober line. I hate to point out inaccuracies, but
this is an important one.
