Thanks everyone for the "kill" references. You've named all that I was
thinking of but one from the extremely quotable Briscoe Darling speaking of
Ernest T Bass. "Thought about killin him, but hated to go that far"
I'll bet we haven't come up with all of them yet though, so keep thinkin'

Football, a couple of times for Opie.
Jump rope. A Barney sobriety test.
Opie's 50 yard dash.
Cards with Gentleman Dan.
Cards at the Golden Door to Good Fellowship lodge.
Howard's 300 game in bowling.
Archery when Andy takes the boys camping.
Andy skeet shooting.

In "Mountain Wedding" when Briscoe is telling Andy about the
trouble they're having with Ernest T.,Andy asks,"Can't you &
your boys handle it?" Briscoe answers,"Well, we thought about
killin him,but I kinda hate to go that far!"

Andy: Can't you and yer boys handle him?
Brisco: We thought about killing him, kinda hated to go that far.
Of course, Mayor Pike was a little surprised at the reaction of a lady reporter
and asked her "You mean, you wouldn't kill a carp where you come from?" and she
says "Why of course not, no more'n we'd kill a pike!"
Andy: She couldn't pick two more ornery fish to protect"

Subject: Making a killing
My favorite mention of killing was when Andy asked Briscoe Darling if he and
the boys couldn't handle Ernest T. Briscoe replied, "We thought about killing
him but hated to go that far."

Subject: Statue of Andy and Opie
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hey Everybody!
I just read in the Winston-Salem Journal that TVLAND is making a bronze
statue of Andy and Opie with their fishing poles and having it put in
Raleigh, N.C. There has only been two other statues of this nature, Jackie
Gleason, at the bus depot, and Mary Tyler Moore, in Minneapolis. Well~~~~I
think it would be appropriate if it were placed in Mt.Airy, NC, or
Manteo..Andy, as we all know, lives in Manteo and was raised in Mt. Airy. I
wonder why they chose Raleigh?? Oh well at least Andy and Opie will
definately be memorialized..
Best to you and yours~~~~~~

How about when Ernest T. didn't signify with Charlene marrying Dud and
Andy asked him couldn't they handle it. Mr. Darling said they thought
about killin' him but hated to go that far! That busts my buttons every
time!!!

Sue, that scene is from the epilogue of the episode "The Rivals", the one
when Opie has a crush on Thelma Lou and spends a lot of time with her.
After it's all over, Barney decides to pay Thelma Lou back by pretending
to talk to another woman on the phone. Here's a transcript of the
epilogue, which can also be read at:
http://www.tagsrwc.com/interactive/elinora/index.html
[Andy and Barney are in the courthouse, Andy looking out the window.]
Andy: "Yonder comes Thelma Lou."
Barn: "You know somethin' Andy? I realize Thelma Lou was just tryin' to
help Opie out when he was havin' his trouble with Karen, but I'll tell ya
somethin': She could'a saved some time for me somewheres."
Andy: "Now Barn, it's all over..."
Barn: "No sir, I believe I'm just gonna let her think I wasn't exactly
sittin' around waitin' for her."
[Barney gets up and heads for the phone on the desk.]
Andy: "You're just askin' for trouble..."
Barn: "Well, keep 'em guessing."
[Barney sits down behind the desk with his back to the door. He picks up
the telephone and lifts the earpiece to his ear while holding down the
switchhook with the thumb of his other hand. Thelma Lou walks in the
door.]
Barn (pretending to talk on the phone): "I'm sorry, Sally, I really can't
say yes or no about goin' to the movies tonight."
[Thelma Lou walks up and stands next to Andy, a concerned look on her
face.]
Barn (continues): "Heh. You were lookin' forward to what? Heh-heh-heh.
Well, I'm sorry, I really can't say yes or no. Well, I know how much it
means to you, but..."
[The phone RINGS in Barney's hand. The audience bursts with laughter, and
Andy and Thelma Lou exchange knowing smiles.]
Andy: (Clears throat) "You wanna get that, Barn? You're closer."
Barn (releases switchhook and speaks quietly, with irritation in his
voice, into the phone): "Sheriff's Office... Sign fell down? Right, we'll
get it." [Hangs up phone. He still has his back to Andy and Thelma Lou.]
Thelma Lou: "Sorry you're going to be busy at the movies, Barney. I WAS
hoping we could drive up to the duck pond."
[Thelma Lou smiles at Andy again and leaves.]
Barn: (Lets out a BIG sigh) "Well, there went the duck pond."
Andy: "Oh, don't worry about it, Tiger. You'll get her back. Hey! Maybe
Opie could give you some tips. He always got along real fine with Thelma
Lou."
[With that, Barney makes a slow turn in the chair to glare at Andy. The
audience applauds, THE END.]

>>>Andy noticed that they didn't find the hoofprints of the cow. Since it
would be unlikely that 3 men could carry a cow very far, Andy realized that
someone must have put shoes on the cow.

I still haven't figured out how a man and a cow could have walked across
that large muddy area without leaving dozens of tracks. Each of the six
feet involved left exactly ONE footprint -- amazing!

The Raleigh, North Carolina City Council unanimously endorsed an offer
Tuesday by the TV Land cable network to put a statue of the pair
somewhere in central Raleigh as soon as next fall. They will be depicted
on their way to the fishin' hole, as they appear in the opening credits
of the 1960s sitcom. TV Land, which immortalized Kramden in New York in
2000 and Richards in Minneapolis in May, will pay for the statue and
maintain it.

Oh, I don't know Dixon, there was that time when she was a temporary
warden that she was whacking on Otis pretty good in that laundry truck.
That reminds me that that particular scene is memorable. You know we
see Otis sober in some scenes, half in the bag in other scenes but this
is the only time we see him actually all the way IN the bag.
Hmmm, where's my bucket? I need to study on that some more

Subject: The "K" word
From: Dawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Regarding the word "kill" being used in TAGS eps, I don't think that this
one has been mentioned yet: in the "Mountain Wedding" episode with the
Darlings, Briscoe tells Andy and Barney how they have tried to deal with
Ernest T. Bass over the years. Briscoe states "we thought about killing
him, but kind of hated to go that far." Very matter-of-fact.
Feel free to chime in if I have misquoted or misattributed this scene.
