Subject: Mayberry Poem
Do any of you feel inspired to write a few lines about Aunt Bee for "The
Mayberry Poem"? We have some verses about the other major women of Mayberry, but
no one has sent in a verse about Aunt Bee (or Clara, for that matter)! Are any
of
you inspired Bee fans? We are missing quite a few of the male characters, too if
anyone wants to contribute a verse or two. To see what we have so far go to
http://www.christianactivities.com/mayberry/story.asp?ID=2305. To submit a poem,
just email it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks!
Flora

Subject: Unfair comparison?
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm a member of an Internet newsgroup for criminal justice journalists.
Today, another member started whining about the police department he covers
and "it's Mayberry RFD Mayor and Council authorizing Andy Griffith and Barney
to target out of state trucks." ::Grumble::: I thought I should share my
Mayberry-esque reply with this group:
CJJ listers,
You know, down here in North Carolina's Mayberry-land, some of us take
offense to people who who lump all bad law enforcement into a category with
our beloved Andy and Barney. ;) And we make note of folks who confuse
"Mayberry RFD," a rural life series starring Ken Berry, with "The Andy
Griffith Show,'' which is consistantly rated as one of the top television
shows of all time. ;)
Now I know that Barn -- on occasion -- would disguise himself at Checkpoint
Chickee to nab speeders. But take Episode 43, "The Pickle Story,'' for
example. Our favorite deputy can be seen stopping motorists for good driving
behavior and "rewarding" them with a quart of Aunt Bee's kerosene cucumbers.
(OK, OK, maybe, just maybe, he was trying to get rid of the bad pickles, but
give him some credit! At least he wasn't ticketing out-of-town truck drivers
like they do in your area!)
I don't know about you, but no officer here pulls me over and thanks me for
obeying the law. ;)
If you think about it, comparing a town to Mayberry should be a compliment.
Problems there were solved in less than 30 minutes. Folks looked out for each
other. Children were safe wandering up Main Street, through the woods and
around Myers Lake. At the end of the day, the bad guys were locked up after
our heroes came to the rescue once again!
For someone who spends her days covering real life crime, Mayberry is a nice
escape. Maybe it isn't such a bad place after all. :)

hear about 'em!

Message to new member George Taylor from Sunrise, FL: Your comments about
the blessings of a good wife reminded me of a story by Mark Twain. Its
supposedly the lost diary of Adam. Its very funny and although Adam
complains about Eve a lot, the last line is the most telling...
"Wheresoever she was, there was Eden."

There's a nice bio on Andy that was written by WBMUTBB member Terry Collins
called "The Andy Griffith Story-An Illustrated Biography." You can get a
copy of either a hardcover or paperback at Weaver's Dept Store here online.

Subject: Quote of the Day
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
BARNEY: Well, where's Aunt Bee with lunch? She's usually here and gone
by now.
ANDY: She's a little late.
BARNEY: Well, I'm hungry, Ange.
ANDY: She'll be along in a few minutes. Relax
BARN: Well, I happen to have this low sugar-blood content, and if I
don't get my lunch by noon then I get a headache and I'm no good to anybody.
ANDY: A few minutes one way or the other shouldn't make any difference.
BARN: Well, it does to me. I've got a clock in my stomach.
ANDY: You must have.
BARN: I go by that clock, too. Tick, tick. I know it's time for
lunch. Tick, tick. I know it's time for dinner. My mother was the same
way.
ANDY: I remember that about you're mother.
BARN: She had a clock in her stomach.
ANDY: Hey, Barn? These clocks you and your mother had in your
stomachs? Did the tickin' keep your father awake at night?
BARN: You wanna get facetious? You wanna get facetious about the whole
thing? Is that what you want to do, get facetious?
ANDY: No.
BARN: Well, just don't get facetious. That happens to be a very common
thing: clock in the stomach.
ANDY: I know, I know, I know. Aunt Bee had an elephant she kept on the
mantelpiece, and it had a clock in its stomach. Now, don't get mad. I was
just kiddin'.
BARN: I don't mind you kiddin' me about my stomach, but don't kid about
my
mother's stomach.

Subject: If I only had a quarter mill!
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: "Paul Jennings SLES" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Last night's episode was great...."If I Only Had A Quarter Mill!" My
favorite part is when Barney goes into the barber shop to flaunt his new
found money! He gives Floyd a cigar and says......"35 cents a copy.....I
plan on smokin' about eight a day!" Floyd quickly does the math and is
quite impressed.
Also it only goes to show how quickly drugs and alcohol can effect ol
Barn. Within seconds of drinkin' the tainted milk....his eyes start to
blink....they roll to the back of his head.....and it's over!
Jubal......Jubal-Jubal-Jubal.....JuuuuubaL!

Aunt Bee from the board was nice enough to send me
this quick bio on Danny Thomas:
Birth name: Amos Muzyad Jahoob
Date of birth : 6 January 1914,
Deerfield, Michigan, USA
Date of death: 6 February 1991,
Los Angeles, California, USA. (heart attack)
I would assume his brother has a similar name. People
have said his stage name was Jacobs and Jenkins? Some
Arabics are Yiddish, especially in Lebanon. I don't
know if Danny Thomas was or not. His birthname was
Arabic. He did play Anne Marie's (Marlo Thomas')
"father" (priest), on an episode of "That Girl". And
he started up the successful, philanthropic St. Jude
research center, which is affiliated with the Catholic
Church, I believe.
My guess is that Johnny Coons was the guy that played
many parts on the show, including the guy that pointed
out the governor's car to Barney, he also played one
of the cops that let the "I'll get you for this,
deputy" guy get away, as well as an escaped con that
hid out in a warehouse, in one of Barney's colorized
returns. Tall, brunette guy. Just a guess. Any
input?
