From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Floyd was trying to remember what Calvin Coolidge said. Here's a quote
from the Sunday magazine:
"There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no independence quite so
important, as living within your means." Calvin Coolidge
What a wonderful example of leadership!

TAGS fans,
My oldest son, who is 7, is a big TAGS fan. He is also a big Star
Wars fan and collects the action figures. Yesterday, he was commenting on
the fact that he had never seen an action figure for Anakin Skywalker's
mother. Then, he laughed and said, "I guess that would be Anakin's mother
figger!"

HEY GAAAAAAAANG !
Great topic!
I'd wake up rather early from my room at the Mayberry hotel and head on over
to the Taylor's for some of Andy's famous "male-chauvinist bacon & eggs"
breakfast.
Ol' Barn would come along and we'd load up the squad car and head for Myer's
Lake.
We'd do some fishing on the dock, chatting about what the Mayberry Bijou
would be
showing this weekend, crime, and lessons about romance from Barney Fife.
After
we caught what we could, we'd set up a fire and cook the fish right there.
Eatin'
and chattin'some more about what we read that morning in "Mayberry After
Midnight"
and how Uncle Ollie's doing (I'm from Lake Charles,too)and the like. We'd
drive
by Wally's gas station for a fill-up and some of the best soda in town while
we
chatted with Goober awhile. Barney would get a little antsy about us just
standing
around molly-colliding and making a big mulage about the new girl at the
diner when
there are desperate criminals to be caught. While Ange and Barney do some
official
business, I'd go to Floyd's and get a haircut and read some comic books
while hearing
the latest barbershop gossip.Later, I'd go with Barn to one of his Judo
classes and see
how he turns his whole body into a deadly weapon. After the class, he'd set
me up with
one of Thelma Lou's attractive cousins. I hear she's real good with guns.
We'd end the
night at Ange's on his front porch with Aunt Bee, doing the lost art of
"relaxing."

I know most of you probably know this,but the Darlings were
played by a blue grass group named "the Dillards". There
music is available--check the blue grass section of your
local music store. Also,there's a book on the Dillards
named "everybody on the truck". It's a good 'un.

I'm sure you're right; the writers often gave Goober "facts" to share, which
the audience would (hopefully) recognize as incorrect. The same was true of
Barney. After Barney left Mayberry, the writers more or less passed this
personality trait on to Goober. In both cases, these "odd facts" added to
the appeal of the characters.
Other examples from Goober and Barney:
Baled Alaska was invented in honor of Alaska's becoming a state

P.S. George Lindsey has stated on numerous occasions that the cast was
never allowed to ad-lib, however Howard Morris (Ernest T.) and Hal Smith
(Otis) both ad-libbed quite a bit. The practice was probably left to the
discretion of the director(s). Some actors were at their best when
ad-libbing; others were at their best when they stayed true to the script.

Hi, Charlie! My home didn't have a parlor (we were poor dirt farmers), but
there were members of the older generation in my neck of the woods, down
along Old Man Kelsey's crick, that did have parlors. Those homes were
usually among the more stately and elegant, often with two stories. In my
experience, the parlor was always a formal living room, often the "front
room," where people entertained their finest guests. It was a place in the
house that could be presented as "the best we have." We kids were never
allowed in there except on the most auspicious of occasions, and then only
after we were properly bathed and dressed in clean clothes! When not in
use, parlors were often closed off from the rest of the house by large,
sliding wood doors. And in my experience, parlor furnishings were often
Victorian with a reed pump organ as the center of fine singing and
entertainment. Rather than fitting these descriptions, I suspect "parlor"
in Fletch's house (TAGS: "The Cow Thief" episode) was more of an
old-fashioned "proper" term for "living room."

Subject: Parlors
The house which my dad grew up in, I believe was built around 1900. It
still exists today in Freemont, Ohio. Through the years rooms were
added upstairs as the family increased, 11 children in all. It has a
large front porch & in the front of the house off of a large room is the
parlor. I don't remember the furnishings it contained other than a
piano with a swivel stool whch my sister & liked to turn & I'm sure it
had a sofa & some chairs. I'm not sure when the term living room first
came into popularity & I seem to recall the term front room being used
as well. Maybe another older member can add some information on the
subject, Harvey perhaps?

One thing you CAN say about all of Andy's major girlfriends is that they were
all younger than him. Andy is 11 years older than Elinor Donahue, 8 years
older than Joanna Moore, and 7 years older than his main steady Aneta
Corsaut. If you'd want to count Maggie Peterson as a girlfriend candidate,
Andy has 16 years on her. Most of the other bit girlfriend players are
younger than Andy too.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Adding on to Ted's comments, our previous house in town, built in
approximately 1895, was not a large one by any means, but in addition to the
dining room and living room, there was a room designated by the realtor as a
"parlor." The living room and parlor both were at the front of the house.
The previous occupants used the parlor as an extra bedroom, but we used it as
an informal TV room. (The living room was our reading room.) Because I
liked the old-fashioned sound of the word "parlor," I continued to use it to
refer to our TV room, and I often had to explain to people what that word
meant!

Well, first I would get breakfast at the diner and then head over to the
store where Andy bought the bed jacket (?) and do a little shopping. Then I'd
go get my hair done at the beauty palor and then back to the diner for lunch,
unless during the course of the morning, I met someone who invited me to
lunch.
If nothing good was playing that evening at the movies or there were no ice
cream socials at the church, I guess I'd hang out with the Fun Girls and
maybe see what Al was up to.

Time is fast approaching for the Mayberry in the Midwest event, and I was
wondering if there has been any talk of a meeting of WBMUTBB members while
there. I'd love to meet other TAGS fans vis a vis.
We will be heading out to there on Wed, so please post soon!
Allan, any suggestions?

> if you could spend 1 day in Mayberry, what would you do?
Well, I'm not much of a breakfast eater, so I'd probably just munch on a Mr.
Cookie Bar instead of going to the diner. If I got up early enough and the
weather was good (it usually was in Mayberry), maybe I'd head out to Myer's
Lake with my camera bag and spend time enjoying the scenery and taking
pictures. On my way out there, I'd stop by Wally's and get an ice-cold
bottle of pop, maybe try that new flavor, Huckleberry Smash. For lunch, I'd
head over to the drugstore. I've always wanted to sample their businessman's
special -- you know, a hollowed out tomato stuffed with avocado and raisins
(Andy says it's good). Then I'd stroll over to the movie theater and watch
them change the marquee. Later, I'd call Thelma Lou at the office and see if
she could get off a little early so we could go shopping together. Since
women don't tend to hang out at the barber shop, I'd probably just wave to
Floyd on my way to the courthouse. Once there, I'd see if Barney would be
willing to part with one of those newspapers with the cave rescue story on
the front page -- I want him to autograph it for me. (I know he claimed to
have bought that whole stack for the paper drive, but I suspect he kept a few
back.) Around supper time I'd casually drop in on the Taylors. I'd walk in
the door just as Aunt Bee was setting a heaping plate of fried chicken on the
table and, of course, Andy and Aunt Bee would invite me to join them.
Afterwards, we'd sit out on the front porch awhile. I'd see if I could peel
an apple without breaking the peel as Andy strummed his guitar. If he
happened to start singing "Church in the Wildwood," I'd sing the harmony.
I'd finish my evening by catching the late show at the movie house -- it's
that new Cary Grant picture, and I don't want to miss it!

Carolyn,
I've never been to New Castle so I don't have a good plan as to were to try
and meet up. I would suggest that members wear their WBMUTBB T-shirts and if
you see one...go up and say "hey" to them and introduce yourself.
If anybody has a good idea about meeting...I'd be glad to hear it. My plan
for TN didn't work out too well so hopefully somebody else will have a better
idea.

Not to be pushy or anything,but the Blue Ridge Parkway is really for

most beautiful in these parts,and it's so relaxing to just drift along and soak
it all in.Almost as good as a nice sit on a porch.
