To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think if you look real close you'll see that the bar over the gun rack
is hanging off to the side, as opposed to being completely gone. I think.
Forgive me for adding one more silly joke to the bunch...
A priest, a rabbi, a dwarf, and a rabbit in a tuxedo walk into a bar.
The bartender looks up and says "Hey, what is this, some kind of a joke?"
Chick-a-chee, chick-a-chee !!

Subject: Two-timing Andy?
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I was watching last nights episode of TAGS (Andy's Old Girlfriend) and Goober
states that She and Andy were always together. Andy mentions that that was
10 years ago. Now, if my calculations are correct, Opie would have been a
baby of 2 or 3 years at that time. In one of the first episodes, Andy is
talking to Opie about his mother and Opie remembers her so, it seems that
Andy was a two-timer.

From what I've read, that's one of the reasons for filming with one camera
instead of three. One of the other reasons is that Andy highly preferred
the one camera format as it allowed the audience a much greater intimacy
with the characters . Obviously filming with one camera would not work with
a live audience as scenes are filmed out of order to accommodate things
like lighting one particular set, etc. Some actors such as Dick Van Dyke
and Lucille Ball preferred the three camera live audience set up. Aaron
Rueben wanted to film Gomer Pyle, USMC with three cameras but due to the
large amount of outdoor shooting, decided to use the same one camera format
as TAGS.

Subject: Resorts and mean folks
Joe, you forgot to tell us where Loon Lake Lodge is located. Maybe we
can go when we travel. I love Rainforest Cafe so would enjoy this place
too!
My vote for meanest person was the crook who threatened to come back and
get Barney; he tried but was foiled by Andy, PTL.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It seems to me that the meanest person in Mayberry based on his character
would have to be Ben Weaver ie; Scrooge at Christmas, trying to forclose on
the Scobies, running the traveling salesman out of town and even when the
actor changed in later episodes it seems like he was always mad. What do yall
think?

>>>It's been preyin' on my mind, y'all. What DID the mirror say to the

The following response, written by Harvey Bullock, can be found on the "Ask
the Writer" section of our club's website:
Q. I have a question for Harvey Bullock. I've watched the episode "Aunt
Bee's Romance" at least 30 times, and I always wonder about the punchline to
Roger's riddle: What DID the mirror say to the dresser?
A. To that most faithful viewer who's seen AUNT BEE'S ROMANCE thirty times
(!!) and is going into terminal bonkers over a question asked but not
answered.; First I am flattered immensely by your interest in TAGS. Next, ,I
really had to rack my ancient mind to remember the reply in the old gag I
had the annoying Roger use, e.g. "What did the mirror say to the dresser?"
In the script I didn't give the answer, I stewed and stewed, finally
EUREKA..after 35 years the answer came to me..I remembered it was a touch
gamey to be told in Aunt Bee's presence, (but very tame by today's
standards.) the zippy answer is
I DON'T MEAN TO CAST REFLECTIONS, BUT YOUR DRAWERS ARE OPEN.
I hope Faithful Fan's sanity can now be saved.. best to all, Harvey Bullock

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Everyone has been talking about the meanest person to
"visit" Mayberry. I guess I would have to agree with
those who said Roger Hanover. He was so unpleasant to
Andy, I sure care didn't care for that although it was
part of the storyline. Some mentioned regulars on TAGS
that were "mean" at times. I was hoping it wouldn't
take that avenue as all of us are "out of sorts"
sometimes, not necessarily "mean". I like to think
about all the joy I receive from TAGS, and the "going
back to a simpler time" I feel while watching it.
Isn't it neat when we come upon something to remind us
of TAGS in our daily lives. I was going into my local
Kroger store and saw that they had pansies for sale;
I stopped and remembered them from TAGS. Floyd
entered pansies in the flower show that was sponsored
by the Simmons Seed Company, of course he was the
winner, and only one of two entries in the pansie
division. Although he could have come in second if
Andy had blocked the sun they were getting in front of
the barber shop. Wasn't Aunt Bee noble to attend even
after her rose was destroyed? What a lady!
Have a Mayberry Day,
Anita Carpenter

Subject: Jail Keys
Up here in SE Wisconsin, we're known as the Tool Box of the country: We
have a lot of tool & die shops and such. I was thinking....I know that the
tech. schools around here have their tool & die students design dies as
class projects to actually be able to produce a simple product. Do you
think I could approach instructors with the idea of having a student design
and make a die that would produce our Mayberry Jail keys? I know where I
could go to have the keys manufactured once the die was made. But I would
need to have at least a drawing or picture of what I'd want. I know that
there's a B&W episode where the camera focuses on the jail keys while
they're lying on the floor. Which episode was that? Or is there another
way to get a good depiction of the keys? How long do you think they
actually were, and what do you think the diameter was of the key ring? Were
they made of brass? (I remember that Virgil polished them to death that one
time.) They seemed so dark in most of the episodes....I wonder if they WERE
brass. Did anyone ever SAY what they were made of? Wouldn't it be neat to
be able to produce them and sell them through Weaver's? Who wouldn't want
to hang a set of Mayberry Jail Keys on a nail in their homes? (Don't put
them in the drawer!!!!) I've been looking through antique stores up here
trying to find them for years, and although the clerks always know what I'm
talking about, they don't have any in their inventories, and say that if
they ever DO come across them, they're snatched up almost immediately. Any
help with my questions would be appreciated. (And if you think this is a
bad idea, you can tell me that, too -- I can take constructive criticism --
as long as you end it with "Best of luck to you and yours.")
