I believe our clever Rafe Hollister has hit the nail on the head! Any
community can enact local ordinances to their liking and perhaps Mayberry
made exceptions to the no-liquor laws, for special occasions (not to be
confused with those elixir sisters' decisions) like Christmas and such.
Sounds good to me!! Aunt Bee of Orlando
Maybe that's why the sisters thought they were not breaking the law,
since they only sold it on special occasions!

For those of you with grey hair, you will remember Olan Soule in the cast of
Captain Midnight. He played the lab guy who came up with the inventions and
such the Captain needed in his mission against crime. I'll have to check my
tapes to see what his name in the show was.
Speaking of Captain Midnight, the Captain's other sidekick, named Iggy, who
actually went with the Captain on his missions, was Sid Melton. Sid was the
press agent who got Andy in hot water with Helen because of the publicity
shots they took when Andy was in Hollywood.
Now, if I could ever spot Richard Webb (Captain Midnight himself), then we'd
have the whole cast!
Just thinking about Captain Midnight makes me crave
Ovaltine..................

Hello,
Dan I am so glad that you hear those voices too. Thought I was alone. I
can't tell you how many times that has happened to me. Someone can say the
simplest of things and I ALWAYS connect it with something with TAGS!
I remember someone asking me something and my reply was "I have one!" I
didn't intentionally quote something from TAGS, but when I said it I
immediately thought of Aunt Bee in the freezer episode. I even said out
loud---"I have one--Clara I have a freezer!" There was even a TAGS fan there
with me and we both enjoyed the moment!!

Subject: Re: Goodbye, Thelma Lou
I may be very close to being in violation of rule #2, but here
goes: Richard Kelly, in the first TAGS book, deals with the episode where
it's revealed that Thelma Lou got married in a very thoughtful and
analytical way. I have to admit, this is the one episode I won't
watch. Betty Lynn is right, Thel wouldn't have done that to Barney. I
also can't handle the way Barney falls for the other girl at the end. As
Dr. Kelly wrote, it really cheapens Barney's and Thelma Lou's
relationship I'll change the channel every time. I'll admit that yep,
Don Knotts did an OUTSTANDING job. There are some other brilliant things
in there too (eg having Thel's husband being "forman of a wrecking
crew"). I don't think this is a negative comment, since it's because of my
love for the show and the characters. Hope y'all see it that way.

Mike, I am glad you're stopping off in Mt. Airy, and I hope y'all have a good
time! Go and get your hair cut at Floyd's and eat a pork sammich at the cafe!!
And
buy something at Weavers - maybe a bottle opener with a little umbrella on it.
As for the Biltmore estate, my husband and I went there a few years ago. It is
gorgeous! After our tour, we went to their stables - which they've turned into
their restaurant - for lunch. Those black angus burgers are expensive, but the
best burger I've ever had in my entire life! We had to wait a long, long time
for our food, so we ended up getting free sodas with our lunch and then the
waitress
gave us free dessert! That's what I call a Mayberry attitude! They're nice,
real nice there, so we both left her a quarter tip and we don't even know if
her name
is Olive or how many kids she has!! Okay, okay, we gave her more than a
quarter. I just wanted to have some kind of TAGS reference in this post since
I mostly
talked about the Biltmore estate!! Y'all have a Mayberry day... Lisa

Howdy Beloved
I jes wanted to wish well and safe travels to all those going to Pidgen Forge
for the big (REALLY BIG) doins. I hope ya'll's have a wonderful visit; and I
wish I were there too...but alas...Pidgen Forge is a wonderful place that our
family used to take Thanksgiving holidays at; up until my Dad passed away. It
also holds a special place close to my heart, 'cause right up the road in
Gatlingburg is where I married up with my darlin person, little over 12 years
ago. Now yall take care and look out for one another...be sure to fill up
with gas afore ya go...ya know how much gas you will burn once you get there
in the city...with all that stop and go drivin....not like in the country.
And remember
"A stranger's just a friend ya ain't met yet"

Saw Jack Dodson (aka Howard Sprague) on a re-run of "St. Elsewhere" today.
He was on about 7 episodes of "St. Elsewhere" as a judge on the board of St.
Eligius. They made a deliberate reference to TAGS today, though...when a
chaplain responded to his call, he replied, "I wasn't calling for a
chaplain...I was calling for Floyd the barber!"
"Dirty me, dirty me, I'm disgusted with myself!"

Andy also staged a fake robbery of Walkers drug store. Attempted to fix a
pickle contest, and coerced the whole town into cheating in the raffle.

>>>It's highly possible that Ben Weaver, in owning a reputable retail store,
was allowed by law to sell spirits during the holiday season, and Ben would
have duly filled out any and all permits, paperwork, and contracts to make
it all legal and above-board.
Ok, I'll buy that, but only because later on (in "The Merchant of
Mayberry"), he claims to have a lot of pull with the state officials.
>>>Maybe ol' Ben was selling mineral spirits. I expect moonshine would do
as a fair, and cheaper, substitute.
Now that's something I hadn't thought of! Maybe Ben was upset that folks
were cleaning their paintbrushes with moonshine, instead of buying mineral
spirits from his store. Kind of a stretch, but it does fit the facts as we
know them (assuming you could clean a paintbrush with booze - I suppose it
would depend on what kind of paint you were using).
>>>... the episode in which Otis Campbell receives an honorary award for
being a descendant of Nathaniel Tibbs has an ending scene with the mayor,
Andy, Otis, and the ladies having an alcoholic drink to celebrate (Otis was
a bit worried about accepting the drink due to his "problem").
Maybe they had just held an impromptu session of Mayor's Court (off camera,
of course) and Mayor Pike had declared that the liquor laws were suspended
for 24 hours. Or maybe it was some sort of non-alcoholic beverage,
unbeknownst to Otis.
