My wife and I were putting up pickles last night and got to talking about
"The Pickle Story". We decided the whole reason Aunt Bee's pickles were so
bad for the county fair was that they never had time to "cure". Anyone who
makes homemade pickles knows that you have to let them sit for weeks before
they are suitable for eating, much less entering into contests. She should
have had someone from the pickle factory test them first. Barney once said
that he could always get a job at the pickle factor as a brine tester.

Yeah, I did check down at Weavers about a pineapple peeler, but he was just
too high. You remember how he wanted $1.25 for the can opener with the
umbrella on it.

I think we never actually saw the stunts on the show because that would be too
violent for such a mild show. Such as....we never saw Malcolm Merryweather
collide with that truck. We only saw him sitting on top of the hood with his
bike turned upside down. Can you imagine how scary that would have been to have
seen him hit by a truck? One thing that I always notice, however, is how
Barney runs out in the street without looking and the car has to screech to a
halt and/or swerve to miss him. That really had to be well-timed or somebody
could have gotten hurt.

I don't know about the door, but if you want a key, you might check under
the mattress in cell #2. Rumor has it that Ernest T. left a pass key
there. Just make sure you test it before you lock yourself in the
cell. Or, if that doesn't work, you might get a metalwork kit and make one.

Some more activities discussed but never seen:
Goober fixing Mr. Tucker's Lincoln Continental, and having his picture taken
next to it (also Goober being out on his boat)
The party guests hiding the really bad meatballs Aunt Bee described
Barney and his mother with their hats pulled down over their ears
Goober actually hunting in the woods, when he grew that beard
Some of Barney's described dates with Thelma Lou ("...with a pan of cashew
fudge between us, watching that doctor show on TV" or the trip to the duck pond)
any of Barney's described dates with Juanita down at the diner (like the trip
to the drive-in)
The episode of "that doctor show on TV" where the doctor has to do surgery with
just one arm because he broke the other one
Opie's friend actually standing next to the flagpole, handcuffed to it (or the
cuffs snapping into place)
the incident where a prisoner got rough with Andy and broke his hand
the other gold truck going a different route
the big service station standoff where Andy put the guy away (he came back and
gave Andy a gun as thanks for setting him straight)
the fire truck/garbage truck collision
The dogs roaming the pasture after Barney took them away from the courthouse
High school aged Barney crying when he heard Jack Egbert blackballed him from
the current events club
Otis hitting his mother-in-law in the mouth with a leg of lamb
Barney's bus trip to Charlotte with his mother
Barney actually staying at the YMCA out of town
This is going to be a long list because the writers were so creative at
describing things like these.

Good idea on unseen happenings.
But actually, Barney didn't talk about our favorite rug wearing extra
in that quote, it was:
"I'm not standing in no stag line with Old man Perkins and a bunch of
slumped over teenage boys"(Barney)
I always imagine Mr Schwamp was there too. Maybe he even said something,
for once, hah!

Here's a thought - and as a trained noticer I shoulda' found it on the
first time through. I was re-reading the excellent book Mayberry 101 by
Prof Neal Brower this weekend and came across an unusual reference. And
I'm not gonna violate any rules, so put your square wheels on, ok?
The book references a quote (on page 188 I think ) from Rodney about the
characters that the Dillards played. He says that between their fist
appearance and the second that he felt that when folks first saw the
Darlings he was worried that folks were saying that the boys were
something out of "Deliverance" This was 1963, the book Deliverance was
written in, I think, 1969 and the Burt Reynolds movie that most folks
would be most familiar with was, I think, 1972. So I guess in retrospect
he might have used Deliverance as a reference to say how he felt. but
I'm sure that nobody said anything about "Deliverance" in 1963.
They did have a great variation on Dueling Banjos. And I loved every one
of their appearances on TAGS. I'm just sayin......

doing as fellow taggers in getting the young people hooked......

this either.

>>>Does anyone have any info on the type of jail cell door used in the

Bruce Fisher<<<
Bruce, I think the answer is there were just props, not a real locking
door. I also would like a replica of the jail keys. We've often
talked about how that, other than the Candlestick phone might be the
best momento from the show. The closest thing I've seen, was at Disney
World. In the gift shop for the Pirates of The Caribbean there was a
set of "Jail keys"! Some of you may remember the scene where the
pirates are trying to coax the dog to bring them the keys to let them
out of jail. This set was about the right size, nice big ring, however
there were 3 keys (not 2), all of different lengths and they were black
as opposed to Silver (and I think a little more than I wanted top pay).
So I'm still lookin for my Jail keys also.

Seems to me one obvious thing that we never saw was....Sarah, the
switchboard/telephone operator! She was a part of the Mayberry crowd, despite
her lack of on-air time. Can you imagine what she could have known about the
whole town? I'll bet she could have written a book that even ol' Goob would
have read! Could she have secretly been behind the "Mayberry after Midnight"
production? Yeah, this woman knew PLENTY, but it appears that even Deputy Fife
could not have made her talk!

I just saw Betty Lynn in an episode of "Little House on the Prairie".
She played an Irish lady named Bridget. Her mother staged her own wake
so that she could get her children to all be together at one time. Miss
Lynn was as sweet as always.

Dear Cheryl,
I do believe you are correct. It was called a Pineapple
Skinner rather than Pineapple Peeler. Thanks for that
correction. That's what I get for relying on my memory rather than watching
the episode to make sure I got my facts right.
Trained Noticers will notice every time!
Lydia, I got mine from Newton. He gave me a good price.
