Subject: Pigeon Forge Show
Are there plans for some of us to get together either before or after
the Tribute to Mayberry Show in Pigeon Forge on the 28th of this month?
Like one of the local restaurants maybe? If someone has already
suggested it, I must have missed it. If plans have been made, I'd love
to know where and when.
Allan, you did a great job with David Browning's website!
I don't think any Mayberry entertainment event is complete without Allan
Newsome and David Browning.

It is possible that Mayberry's "Dry County" status was
conditional. Perhaps it was generally a dry county,
though alcohol could be served at an event if a permit
were issued (such as Warren may have been preparing).
Also, remember Ben Weaver complained about moonshiners
cutting into his business (since he sold "spirits"). So
maybe Mayberry wasn't always a dry county, or was only
dry every once in a while... maybe just on weekends...,
or just weekdays... or maybe only on Monday and
Thursday.... or perhaps the first Tuesday each month
excluding months whose name exists as a single
syllable...or... well, maybe it is just a little
inconsistincy in the writing.
Also, with the Biblical and historical references to
Gomer, you can't forget that Granny on the Beverly
Hillbillies referred to anybody who was a little goofy
as a "Gomer"

We used to call "evens" or "odds." I could relate to this pretty well. We
used to do it as I was growing up in NC.

Subject: catch phrase
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>>>Here's a few samples of mine: Andy waving off to released prisoners, "By
and Write if you get work." I don't know why, but that one slays me.
"Write if you get work" was a catch phrase from the old Bob & Ray radio
program. They used to say it at the end of every show, along with "Hang by
your thumbs," whatever that means. In the 1990s, when they began to reach a
new generation of fans NPR and the Internet, they udated the phrase to "Hang
by your modems, and write if you get it to work."

In the letter about the red headed stranger, someone asked if he was Clint

Subject: Almost a Mayberry Moment
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I thought I would share with you all a mayberry
moment...well kind of.... The other day I was driving
home from work at 6am and heard on a local radio
station ask listeners to call in and see if you could
stump the DJs with a trivia question. They went on to
say that the question can be from anything from TV
shows to sports and the winner would get 2 free steak
dinners at a well known (and very expensive) steak
house in the heart of Indianapolis....
Well with my wife's birthday approaching and living
on a Policeman's salary (I know how Barney felt) I
felt it was a great idea for a nice birthday dinner.
So I called and spoke (off air) to one of the 3 DJs
and told him my question. With me knowing a few things
about TAGS I wanted to ask a question that wasn't to
hard but on the other hand...I like steak!! So my
question was-- On TAGS there were 2 females that were
mentioned a number of times throughout the series but
never appeared on camera, who were they?---
The DJ then told me that the question was not "the
style" of question they wanted. I told him they just
said that the question could be anything from TV to
Sports, but he said, "If the question was "Who played
Barney?" that would be fine but that type of question
would be impossible for anyone to get some 40 years
after the show went off the air." He went on to say to
think of a question that was a little more current and
they would accept it. After hearing that I was
hot...Does this guy not have cable, does he not
realize that thousands of people watch TAGS everyday,
does he not realize I love steak?
But not to worry...I had to fall back on a non-TAGS
question to win the dinner. (Who was the only Vice
President to be born in the nation's capitol?)
So I won the dinners but couldn't do it using a TAGS
question :( ..Well it was a- Almost Mayberry
Moment..
Does anyone know the answers to both trivia questions?

Subject: Re: Why would Warren ask?
Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2002 13:26:26 -0400
In Digest #252, someone asked: "...This was the episode where Warren
arrests the entire ladies auxiliary for gambling.... When they were applying
for the permit to hold the bazaar, Warren asks if any alcoholic beverages
will be sold on the premises...Why would he ask that in a dry town?"
I wondered that very same thing! I asked it aloud to my husband, who is not
a regular TAGS watcher, so he didn't really offer an opinion. Any ideas?
Just a slip-up by the writers? Or, if the ladies auxiliary event were
considered a "private" event, could they have [potentially] served alcohol?
Gosh, the Golden Door to Good Fellowship lodge didn't even serve alcohol
(right?). Just root bear, I think.
Here's my 2-cents (I'm holding out on the underprivileged children's fund
just so I can invest it here - poor Horatio): There are still dry counties
in NC, but this only applies to the sale of alcohol, not the consumption.
I'm not sure how many episodes actually indicate that Mayberry County is dry
- I'd love to hear from Paul on that one, but I bet it is very few. You
can't count the illegality of moonshining and public drunkenness as
references to a county's "dryness" as those pastimes are illegal in both wet
and dry counties. On the christmas episode Mayberry a wet county since Ben
Weaver claims to sell spirits in his store. I feel certain that there are
references to Mayberry being dry, as I've always had that impression too,
but right now I can't think of a single instance. As for the Golden Door of
Good Fellowship it's been awhile since I've seen this episode, but I vaguely
remember being surprised that they did offer Beer -but I could easily be
confusing this with a "lodge" episode of an entirely different TV show. I
know I got a bit off subject, so I'll bring it back around - Since alcohol
consumption wouldn't be strictly illegal in a dry Mayberry, It's not
inconceivable that alcohol could be served at a public function if no money
exchanges hands, hence the question asked by Warren (probably a check box on
the form for the permit).

Subject: spotted "Otis" and "Mrs Lesch" and "Miss Ellie" on Dennis
T.Menace
The other day while watching dennis the menace, AGAIN I saw folks from TAGS
!
Miss Ellie was the niece of Mr. Wilson and was getting married in his house
(BTW,the house miss ellie lived in on FAther knows best); GUESS who was playing
the part of the pianist for her wedding? THE Undertaker who complained about
Jim Lindsey's guitar playing in front of his "parlor" !
And in the other episode, Otis was playing an auctioneer selling an old radio
that Mr. Wilson and dennis bought!
Guess who the radio ended up origionally belonging to? Mrs. Lesch's mama; when
she walked into the scene.....SHE WAS DRESSED like MRS Lesch when she showed
up to sell her car to dear Bernard Fife!!! I wish I had the two frames side
by side: Mrs Lesch on TAGS beside The Lady whose mama origionally owned the
radio!!! Little black purse, tiny hat, black granny shoes, dark dress!!!
They were twins! haha
This IS tied to tags cause it mentions the wonderful character actors on BOTH
shows! Dennis T. Mennace show is
FULL of TAGS folks!!!

Maybe it was a generic form that was chosen by someone not living in Mayberry
and it just had that question on it. In other words, maybe the form didn't
originate in Mayberry and it had questions on it that could apply to other
places that did allow alcohol. Does that make any sense?

Who can remember all the songs that Andy and Barney would sing in harmony in
the office? I can get it started...."No more guilty stains...." and in the
Ben Weaver episode they started singing " Spread a little sunshine..." Also
- when Otis thinks he drowned - " We shall (something), but we shall miss
him..."
It's "We shall meet, but we shall miss him," (it's an old civil war song
called The Vacant Chair) Also, in one episode Andy is singing Cripple Creek
and he sings the Crawdad Song with Opie in another. Neither were with Barney,
just sung in the office. (you get a line and I'll get a pole honey...)

They way I figure it just because it was Illegal to sell liqour in Mayberry
doesnt mean it would be
Illegal to serve it to friends at a party. As long as you didnt charge for
it, and bought it legally from
another town in the state. Maybe some local ordinance required knowning that
liqour would be at
a gathering so they could make sure minors wouldn't be around or something.
Who knows.

Subject: plans before June 28 Pigeon Forge show
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I thought I would share the "official" plans Knoxville's "Mayberry"
chapter has concerning the Friday, June 28 "Tribute to Mayberry" show in
Pigeon Forge, TN.
The show itself starts at 7:00 pm, so our chapter will be meeting at the
Texas Roadhouse restaurant there in Pigeon Forge at 4:30 pm. Just ask
for the
"Mayberry" table, and you'll see our smiling faces. We will try to get
several tables put together to accommodate 10-15 people. We will be
leaving the restaurant
around 6:00 to allow enough time to fight the traffic to get back to the
theater. I have to get back to the theater early to put our latest
chapter newsletter on the
vendor tables advertising our chapter before the crowds show up.
For those of you going to the show but not eating earlier with us, we
will be in Section B (center section), row A seats 1-3, row B seats
10-14, row C seats 15-16
and row D seats 15-16 at the show. Come by and say "howdy".
I hope to meet some WBMUTBB digest folks there.
