In another reference to a northern locale, didn't Barney order his cymbals (his
"Andre Kostelanetz marchers") from a store in Chicago?

I always enjoy the saving of production costs by coming up with ways to
communicate something without having an extra have to say anything. We know
that if they say a line, they get their names in the credits (Johnny Coons
where are you?) and I'm sure the Screen Actors Guild makes sure they get a
larger check. So in Man in a Hurry, a customer pulls up to the pump and
Gomer almost sticks his head in the car. He then gives a little hand wave
that I'm sure the guy in the car can't see, but it lets us know the fellow
apparently said something to Gomer which he then acknowledges.
Of course, we're immediately distracted by Mr. Tucker stealing Gomer's
truck.

I wonder if they sell those chuch keys with the little striped umbrellas
on them like Weaver does?
Goober had to send for some parts from Dee-troit once didn't he? Can't
remember when - was it the fuel pump for Barney's Edsel?

Andy, Opie and Bad Boy Bailey fish from a dock also....Myer's lake isn't the
only body of water in Mayberry. Remember when Andy, Peggy, Barney and Thelma
Lou go wading? (Barney doesn't like to take off his shoes and socks in front
of girls - but they got brothers, don'tchaknow....) Maybe the dock is at the
other end of the lake/pond where they caught the bad ole criminal in
Manhunt. And speaking of Manhunt....now think about this....if Andy's boat
didn't have a hole in it, and the guy was able to make his gettaway - just
where the heck would he have gone? To the other side? And then where? Seems
to me, it's a pretty stupid idea to try to use a boat to get away unless you
have a speed boat and are in the ocean.

Subject: An Ohio Mayberry Moment!

A special Mayberry moment that happened at our church last night. We have been
actively seeking someone to lead the worship services for about a year now and
have had many fine folks step ( Including my lovely bride!) up to try. So, when
a worship leader and spouse started attending about a month ago, our excitement
grew. He was given a trial role to see how things will work our about a week
ago. This is a lively fellow and one that shows his enthusiasm in the services.
Last night as prayer meeting began, this man starting leading us in some hymns
and choruses. We went through one chorus before he stopped the music. He shook
his head and said that we needed some work in our congregational singing! He
chided us for not opening our mouths properly and proceeded to give us all a
lesson in running up and down the music scale. ( It was something about
ah--ahhhh-ahhhh, I think!) Now since we have choir practice afterward, some
folks began to wonder openly if we'd all been drafted in it,
but we participated to give the "new" guy the benefit of the doubt. Seeing and
hearing our musically-challenged pastor trying to do that scale thing was well
worth the price of admission! His face reddened as he smiled and then laughed
while glancing at me during the unscripted part of the service. I looked away,
holding in my laughter and could only think of the Mayberry choir and Barney's
awful singing. (It's funny how I could visualize ol' Barn doing that
"me-they-me-they" exercise!) This went on for awhile, each time eliciting more
snickers from the crowd. When we finally got back to the hymns, the "new" guy
lead us while listening to individuals closest to him, pacing around the
sanctuary. As he passed the pastor and I, he headed straight to a woman about
three pews back and stopped directly in front of her. The song ended and he
pointed directly at her, asking why she had stopped singing when he drew near.
She got a deer-in-the-headlights look on her face and stood there
fumbling for words to answer with. It was hysterical! The rest of us were sort
of glad that he hadn't picked on us instead. Many were way out of their comfort
zone by the looks on their faces with this new approach to our Wednesday night
meetings. Would John Masters have done such a thing? Some people have begun to
wonder if we are going to have try-outs at the door each Sunday before
services! So, it was all a little unsettling, but I am sure it will all work
out. We surely could use some changes in our approach to worship in our
congregation and this man may be the catalyst we need! How refreshing!
Blessings!

I'm from Central TX, also known as "The Hill Country" of Texas. It used to be
like Mayberry here, but the last several decades have brought an influx of
retirees and other associated "carpetbaggers", so the small town feel isn't the
same. Nothing against our Yankee brethren on the whole, for I've met some
great folks from Bangor to Chicago, to Seattle. But it seems like the ones who
"relocate" to the South and West seem to bring a lot of baggage with them, and
a metropolitan "uppity-ness" as well. Maybe it's just that cold weather
creates cold personal climates. It's kind of a shame that our area has turned
into a retirement haven, as well as attracting a lot of transients (not
homeless, but folks just passin' thru for several decades). I relate this to
Malcolm Tucker's transformation in my favorite episode #77 "Man in a Hurry".
After awhile, these new arrivals adopt the "When in Rome, do as the Romans"
attitude, and most assimilate well, though never fully belonging to the
community. It's probably just that society has changed overall, and we've
lost that indigenous feel to communities, due to the constant arrival and
departure of these interstate immigrants. It's interesting that folks from the
South don't relocate in droves to other parts of the nation, but the other way
around. Definitely a one way street. But the spirit of Mayberry can exist
anywhere in the US. I firmly believe that.

I work at an auto dealership. A co-worker was showing a new employee around our
facility. He began, "Here at tthe rock we have two rules. Number one...obey all
rules! Number two:no writing on the walls." I chimed in with, "for it is very
hard to get writing...off the walls." He looked at me and said, "Oh, you
remember that?" I thought of this board immediately!
