>>>i dont mean to be a party pooper... but can we use another term other than Amber Alert? it just doesnt seem right (to me anyway) to use such a serious systems name for Mr. Swump sightings... the Amber Alert is a very serious thing to help find missing children who are kiddnapped and in danger of being raped, exploited and murdered.. i really dont think its appropriate to use the term so loosely and jokingly... sorry if this post is inappropriate... but this really bothers me.<<<<
Dear ladynoogs45744 and anyone else offended by this reference. Perhaps you wouldn't have been so bothered if you understood where that reference came from. Barney used the term "Amber Alert" (trained noticers will help me with the episode) when he was trying to impress some outsiders. He said further, referring to himself and Andy "One of us will be awake and alert at all times" So that's the TAGS reference I was pulling in. I thin I even mentioned that one of us would be awake at all times, to help folks remember that episode. That you think I would use it in the modern vernacular is a little bothersome to me, but I understand your false assumption if you didn't know where the reference came from. I guess we do need to be cautious about terms that could be misunderstood. Please understand that was not the intent. This is Mayberry. Amber Alert is a Deputy term here.
