Hmm, I wonder if Mr. Schwamp ever tried the miracle salve on his
head. Since it cured the mange, maybe it could grow hair and he could save
on his toupee expenses. Lydia, you might suggest that to him next time
y'all are engaged in normal conversation - but not chit-chat, I know how
you hate that.

I just enjoyed watching "The Mayberry Band" for the umpteenth time. I have
always wondered why Mayor Stoner had the authority to deny funds for the
band to take their trip. Seeing as it was a town council meeting, all they
would have had to do was make a motion to allocate funds for the trip, have
a second, discuss it, and then vote. The Mayor as chairperson of the
council would not have a vote in the matter unless their was a tie, in which
case he would cast the deciding vote. It is obvious that they did not have
any idea of Robert's Rules of Order in our friendly little town of Mayberry.
Makes one wonder how many of those ordinances that Barney always enforced so
rigidly were actually legal.

I had to go over to the dime store to replace a pea in my
whistle and I asked Laura Lee Hobbs if she though Olive of
the diner (you know, widow woman Olive of "I love to see a
thin person eat) and Mr. Schwump (mortician extraordinaire--business may not be
brisk but it is always
reliable Mr. Schwump) would make a cute couple. She said she thought so. And
I think so too. So we may just try to get those two fixed up.
Got to run. Whistles to mend and dogs to cure.

A few days ago, someone was talking about people mentioned in TAGS but
never seen. On my Season 3 DVD's, I was watching The Loaded Goat. It
contains one of these persons and one of my favorite parts of the entire
series. Jimmy, the (first) loaded goat, is locked safely in the cell
until the second, Otis, comes wandering in drunk. It's funny enough when
Otis tries to lay on his mattress which is now on the wall, but to me
the absolute funniest is when Otis looks into the goat's face and says,
"Uncle Nat!?! What are you doing here?" Then, "You're not Uncle Nat!
You're a goat!" Poor Uncle Nat, homely enough to be mistaken for a goat.
Scary.

Speaking of seeing Floyd on Leave It To Beaver, Otis was also on an
episode of LITB. He played the manager of a restaurant when the Beav
wouldn't eat his brussel sprouts. He offered to bring Beav something
else, but June said, "No, he's going to eat them." Otis was all dressed
up and lookin' spiffy - he cleans up good.

All my life I have worried about Olive. There she was
working her thin fingers to the bone in that diner while
loving to watch other people eat. ("It does my heart good
to watch a thin person eat," she said to Barney, and then
he probably was a cheap tipper.)
Yeah, I worried about her and her four children. In those days it was very
hard for a woman all alone taking care of four children. Heck, it's hardly a
picnic for anyone doing it today!
I really respected Olive. She wasn't beautiful or charming enough that some
rich guy was likely to come along and end all her troubles with a marriage
proposal. No, women like Olive often had only themselves to depend upon. And
they did it with little
complaint and often even smaller recognition. There was no
talk show to let Olive know others were out there. I bet she felt all alone.
Bless her heart.

Aunt Bee1 you asked what Howard Sprague ending up doing with his life and the
answer I came up with was a "reporter for the Mayberry Gazette". Maybe I am
getting this mixed up with the episode where Andy umpired Opie's baseball
game??? I know that in "Return to Mayberry" Otis' job was an ice cream
delivery man, and Opie was the newspaper editor. Does anybody else have a
different answer about Howard? I also remember Howard was always changing the
color of his hair in Return to Mayberry.

Re: In those days it was also the height of southern manners to ask
after someone's mother and the rest of their family, as in "Hello
there, Mr. Bob, how's your momma and them?"
Being a southern person myself, I had to chuckle at that line, because
it's so true! If I had a dollar and a quarter for every time I heard
the line "Your mama and them" whilst growing up, I'd have quite a few
dollars and quarters!
On the same topic, remember Andy Griffith's 2001 film which was titled
"Daddy and Them".

We think the funnies part of the female convicts episode is at the beginning
when the escape is being announced on the radio. They are giving their aliases
and the last alias for the tough and masculine "big Maude" is "Ralph

I bought season 3 and although some of it has been edited and I wished also
that it wouldn't have been, I am happy with getting season 3 on dvds. If we
make paramount mad we may never get the other seasons on dvds. So I say just
be
happy that we got most of the episodes unedited. It could have been alot
worse. But on to a better note a little less than a month and it will be time
for Mayberry Days, can't wait. Hope to see every one there. Debbie and family.

Just saw a map of the courthouse on the www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc site
if you look on the North side of Cell # 1, there's a window (on the show
that should lead outside)
on the map it goes to another room.
Any idea what that room is, or if it's a courtyard?
If it's a courtyard, then the outside door to it is in the wrong place, and
should be accessible from only inside the courthouse, to prevent inmate
escapes.
on another note, Fox News just had actual photos from inside the Aruba
courthouse and holding cells. Both the courtroom and holding cells look
smaller than the ones in Mayberry and the cell is whole lot more primitive.
This was a very interesting note.
I also did something very Mayberry last night as most Mayberry citizens
would do.
Last night on the same channel, there was a video tape of the beating of 2
US soldiers on a public street in Seattle. I recognized one of the
perpetrators who did the beating, as hanging out in the area where I used to
live out there. I called the number on the screen, which led to homicide,
and told them where they can find the guy.
I hope they can get an arrest out of it.
I know most Mayberry citizens would do the same thing if they recognized a
criminal on TV.

Well after I got the Mayberry Money thing started, Mayor Pike and Andy
suggested that we compile an official list for the city records of
Mayberry. So Mr. Meldrim brought Me and his teller Harriet and a lady
from the Historical Society into the Bank to use their forms and
machines and such. Now remember we couldn't get into the Library, so I
know there are some we missed. This list could easily be 3 times this
long, but we think it's a pretty nice list to show the range of items in
Mayberry, and notice how many things were about the same. You may want
to print this out and keep it for reference if you ever think about
investing, or suing somebody, or selling something in Mayberry.

This was a great episode. Wally was at school (he is a Freshman this
year) and Eddi bragged he's been shaving once a week now for a month.
Chester Andersen has been shaving for 3 months & Tooey has been saving
to purchase his own razor. So Wally comes home and starts shaving with
Beaver watching.
Comes down to dinner with a face full of band aids and June is
concerned. That woman wanted her boys wrapped in bubble wrap or
something. Anyhow, all ward said was "Put my razor back" then lectured
him about shaving makes your beard grow back thicker and stiffer and
soon you're shaving daily. Makes it sound like a chore. Well, I reckon
at ward's age daily shaving is a chore but at 14, Wally gets the idea to
shave daily.
So he's showing Eddie how he shaves when Ward comes home to get ready
for dinner at the Rutherford's. Discovers Wally has the razor and has
used all the blades so he yells at Wally in front of Eddie Haskell. Now
if you have kids I reckon you know that is a no-no. Never yell at your
kids in front of a friend. Esp. one like Eddie Haskell, who teases him
mercilessly at school the next day.
So Wally starts acting like a jerk around Ward until Beaver explains
things. Rather than apologize he (off screen at least on the TVLand
version) arranges things with Andy, the barber (Floyd's twin brother?
Identical cousin?) so that Wally gets his firts ever shave at a barber shop.
Great storyline and Ward did something I reckon Andy would have done, too.
