Thanks to Paul and Cynitha for refreshing my memory on where the gossip
dialogue came from. the Bookie Barber was a good episode. But then were there
any bad episodes? Of course I do have my favorites like everyone else. Paul
and Cynitha's help are good examples of why we all love Mayberry and it still
exists today .... People and their williness to help a neighor. Thanks again,
Skippy, one of Mayberry's fun girls.
PS I'll have a pop any day.

This discussion brings to mind one of my Daddy's favorite poems:
Come all you folks from other lands,
both city folks and rural.
Come listen while we tell you all,
the word, "you all" is plural.
When we say, "You all come back"
or, "We all will be lonely."
We mean at least a couple of folks,
and NOT one person only.
If we should say to Billy Smith,
"You all are lazy", or
"Will you all get out of here."
He'd think that we were crazy.
Now if you all would come down South,
and with us often mingle,
you'd find that on the native tongue
YOU ALL is never single.
We don't mean to criticize,
or act as if we know all,
but when we speak of one alone,
we all say YOU, like YOU ALL.
Author Unknown
Circa 1953
Kindest regards,
Mark Selby.

Subject: The truth about Y'all
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here's the REAL deal. Y'all is a contraction of You All (please put the
apostrophe in the right place). It's used mostly as a plural. I.E.:
Y'all want some sourwood honey? Or, Do y'all want to start a girls'
softball team? Here in Texas we say "Y'all watch where you step". Y'all
pay attention. I've never heard anyone say "y'alls" unless it's used to show
possession. In that case, one would put an apostrophe after the last "L" to
make it "Y'all's". Got It?
Goober Linda says "Hey, Y'all".

Subject: y'all and incorrectly spelled ya'll
"y'all" is a contraction; the apostrophe shows a removal of letters; in this
case, the 2 letters: o and u from the two words "you"and the word "all".
Yankees almost ALWAYS mis-spell it and put it as "ya'll"; That is incorrect
because "ya'll" would be a contraction for:
"ya and all"; Southerners never would ever say "ya all", any more than they
would ever get caught saying "you guys"!!!!
Around Branson, you can tell it when yankees spell out advertising signs
(meaning to sound "country" or "southern") where "y'all" is incorrectly spelled
"ya'll" !!! I get tickled when folks try to be southern!

Hi Tim,
The folks on the digest are there because of their love of the show
and for one place on the web and in this world that is free of negativety,
pretty much like Mayberry was.
Allan just happens to be the webmaster that created this site
and he has the right and authority to make and enforce any rules for
his site. Most find it a pleasure to escape to there, we hope you can too

Subject: Thinking too much about the Andy show
Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 09:40:52 -0500
I guess I could be accused of thinking about the Andy show too much, often
something happens and I relate to
something I saw on the show. A few weeks ago, We were visiting my Sister,
and I helped her husband move a piano
to a different place in their house. So my sister wanted to see how it
looked there when she walked in, and
she went outside, and knocked on the door. My wife and I had the same
thought, and she said, in her
best Ernest T. Bass, nasal voice imitation, "I wonder who that could be."
Then a few days later we found out my wife's cousin had become engaged to a
friend of mine. Her Dad was talking
about his future son in law, and said to me, "He's such a nice man." And of
course I thought immediately of
Floyd talking about Mr. Bentley, after he had gone over his plans to sue the
County because of Otis's fall.

Subject: Episodes desparately needed!!!
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dear fellow townsfolk,
I have accumulated 143 of the 157 B&W episodes of TAGS over a great period of
time. However, there are a handful of episodes which I haven't seen come up
in the TvLand cycles...actually, since the fandemoniuim blocks of yesterday.
And the way that TvLand is skipping through the cycle this time around is
making my head spin. I've also notcied that all of the episodes from season
one that I am lacking have already been skipped over in the first week! So, if
there is anyone who could possibly make a VHS tape(s) for me with the missing
episodes, I would be more than willing to make it worth your while. Guess it
would have to be someone with all the episodes and two VCRs. I do not care if
commercials are included. I would be happy to pay for it, donate to your
favorite charity, or give an offering to your church. The 16 episodes I am
missing are;
The Manhunt (Ep. 2), Opie's Charity (Ep. 5 (8), Irresistable Andy (Ep. 7 (5),
The Christmas Story (Ep. 11), Andy Saves Barney's Morale (Ep. 16), Alcohol
and Old Lace (Episode 17), Andy and Opie, Housekeepers (Ep. 23), Plaque for
Mayberry (Episode 25), Farmer Takes a Wife (Ep. 45), The Darlings are Coming
(Ep. 88), Citizen's Arrest (Ep. 106), Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. (Ep. 107 (127),
Barney and the Cave Rescue (Ep. 109 (108), Prisoner of Love (Ep. 114 (113),
Andy's Vacation (Ep. 118 (117), and Opie Loves Helen (Ep. 132 (128).
I appreciate your time and consideration.
Agape, Franklin

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yes, "y'all" is definitely plural and is common in the south. "You guys" is
somewhat Yankee and even west coast. "Yins" is a common western Pennsylvania
pronoun, mainly around the Pittsburgh area. Finally, "yo", (not the Goober
"yo" in the affirmative) is a frequently used pronoun in urban areas in the
northeast, most notably New York City and New Jersey. "Yo" is very singular
in usage.

I don't know where you're from, but where I was raised, Mobile, AL, y'all is
always plural. We don't refer to a singular person as y'all. Only two or more
people. In fact it has always drove me nuts when Hollywood has faked southern
accents and used y'all to refer to one person because, that's not the way we
talk. I'll get off my soapbox now and maybe go talk to ol' Barn and see if
there's been anything about this compelsion in his "Learn a Month" magazine
lately.

Subject: Re: Sugar-flavored carbonated beverages
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My grandparents, having grown up in the TX Panhandle
used to say "sodee-water". I guess that's because
they were around before the brand Coke was so popular.
To this day, I still call a refrigerator an "icebox",
from their influence.
As far as the y'all debate, I remember some people
from NYC, Chicago & Dee-troit saying "youse-guys". I
address people with "Hi-dee", not "howdy", "hi", or
"hey". Due to the increase in migration (almost
always from North to South, or North to West)
individual cultures and coloquilisms are being
forgotten, sad to say. You don't see many Southerners
or Midwesterners flocking to the Rust Belt, these
days. Dang carpetbaggers!

Subject: Mr. McBeevee
Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2002 18:11:19 -0400
I was thinking about the Mr. McBeevee episode #64 today. I was wondering
how many of us experienced our own Mr. McBeevee or Floyd, Andy or Goober
in our life growing up.
I remeber getting my first haircut at Farley's (Bob Farley) Barber Shop
or getting a bottle of "pop" yes I said "pop" from a Coke machine that
had Coke, Sprite and Fanta (red pop, rootbeer and orange) at the Gulf
Filling Station where Wayne was always more than willing to help fix a
flat tire on my bicycle. Walking to Burger's Drug Store and getting a
milkshake from Thelma McCormick at the soda fountain. I remember Dick
Fisher who patrolled the streets to keep us safe. The only time I ever
saw him use his lights, siren and drive super fast was when he received a
radio call that someone fell into the Mississinawa River only to arrive
to late. I will never forget the look of horror and grief on his face.
The mailman, Mr. Miller who always let me tag along on his route.
These great people were my Mayberry of Marion, Indiana! Now that I am
older I look back and realize that I must have been a real pest to them,
but the funny thing is they never let it seem to bother them. They were
always there for me, just like "Mayberry"!
Cousin Goober says "hey"!

Subject: Re: Use of "y'all" on TAGS
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
All this discussion recently regarding the proper use of the term "y'all" got
me to thinking -- with the exception, I suppose, of Andy during the first
season, did any TAGS characters use the term "y'all" when they spoke? I
can't really think of anyone that did. This seems odd, since the show was
set in the South. Being a northerner, I never really thought about this
issue until all the comments on the digest. Would this have been a
deliberate decision by the writers/producers to make the show seem less
"regionalized" and more appealing to people in all parts of the country?

This is a great web site if your looking for graves of famous people of
television. It shows a site for those who have been on The Andy Griffith
Show who are no longer with us. Just click on the show your interested about
and it tells you about the person, what they died of and a picture of where
they are buried. I know that sounds kinda morbid but it's the best way to pay
ones respects if you can't actually go there in person. It even gives you a
section where you can go and write your respects along with flowers!!! It's
worth a look see! Let me know what yall think!!!

P.S. When Andy and Helen get out of the cave, Andy says, "Let's see if we
can HOOK a ride back into town." I've heard "hitch" a ride, or "catch" a
ride, but never "hook" a ride. Is the term used all over the U.S., or is it
another "pop" and "soda" thing?
