Went for a haircut today and while I was chatting with the guy he made a snitty reference to Mayberry. He was telling me about this little backwater town he grew up in and said it was almost as bad as Mayberry! I told him to nip it, and proceeded to extole the virtues of my favorite town and favorite people. He apologized and I don't think he realized there are people who feel so stongly about the show, the people in it, and Mayberry in general. I told him about the digest, and Mayberry days, all the online groups, etc. On my way out I loudly told him to have a Mayberry kind of day and everyone in the place laughed.
On the topic of white hots, I'm originally from Central New York and there we call 'em coonies (rhymes with loonies) or coneys (rhymes with ponys). There's a little greasy restaurant that's been in business for 400 years, it's unknown whether they ever clean their grills, but in the summer there's a huge line of people waiting to get in for a double and a chocolate milk. I don't know if it's an acquired taste but there's nothing else like it. And now that I live in SC the only way I can get them is in a cooler with dry ice for a 13 hour drive. But it's worth it.
