You could go to Diamond Jim's. The butchers wear sleeve garters and
there's sawdust on the floor. But then again, you have to buy in bulk
and carry it in a wagon and then you have to worry about yappin' dogs.
And if you don't have a freezer........ On second thought, it's TOUGH
meat so stick to Foley's. And besides, Mr. Foley is SO nice. If he
weren't already married.............

Dear Mayberrites,
I don't write in very often but I sure do enjoy the digest. I
can't imagine what I ever did without it. It's the first thing I look
forward to every morning. I have been trying to rmember when I first
joined and can't, but it seems it was sometime in 1999 I
think...Anyway It has been wonderful. Thanks Allen. I have been able
to go to Mayberry in the Midwest, Mt. Airey, The Opry when they were
there, met some greats like David Brown, Allen, Jim and Gary, Ms. Jean
Carson, etc.....I even caught the rock that Ernest T threw when he was
at the Opry...I am blessed and so glad I found you all. There is not a
day that goes by that I don't find something in my life that I can
relate to Mayberry and the Gang...Being able to watch TAGS at the end
of a rough days is the most soothing thing. If I need a lift I just
watch Tags and all is well...
You are sure one for putting a glow in a bodys day.
Debbie Caruso , Clarksville, Tn

Just dawned on me today that Malcom Tucker (Man in a Hurry), played on another
episode later on. He was the TV producer that auditioned Aunt Bee for the
commercial, that turned into a nightmare, while being filmed in Andy's home.

>>> I started to studying about that thing, and I reckoned you can't just
walk into your everyday music story in Knoxville, Tenn., and get one.... You
can get guitars and banjers and strings of all kinds. Pianers and even
bagpipes. But not accordions.
>>>
Maurine, why don't you just get a jug? If your lips have enough
versatility, you can get banjo sounds, mandolin, accordion, whatever you
want out of 'er. As for the cat going after your fingers, have you tried
greasin' your shoes?

Happy 14th Anniversary to
The "Who's Been Messin' Up the Bulletin Board?" Chapter of
The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club
===================================================
It's hard for me to believe it's been that many years since the WBMUTBB
Chapter began. Of course, at times it seems like I've "known" all you
folks forever but the 14 years have flown by. Things in the world have
changed. Live has moved along. But, through it all I've had the
constant of Mayberry and the folks that really ARE the WBMUTBB Chapter
moving along with me.
I was looking through my "old" files and found a note that I e-mailed
out on the 2nd Anniversary, not of the WBMUTBB Chapter, but of the
precursor to the chapter. You see everything started with a group of us
on the Prodigy computer network (before the Internet was really THE
Internet). On Prodigy we had a topic in the TV section on a bulletin
board called "Andy Griffith Show" and we had started it back in 1990.
After that first year we became an official chapter of TAGSRWC on 25
November 1991. The "Bob" mentioned is Bob Bravetti (who is still a
member here at WBMUTBB) and the "Pam" is "Pam Rodda" (whom I lost touch
with back in March 2001).
So, while the following note says "2nd Anniversary" this would have been
the "1st Anniversary" of the WBMUTBB Chapter. Without further
delay....I hope you enjoy our very first "Anniversary" address and will
know that even though it's been 13 years since it was written, the
feeling of friendship is still the same.

SUBJECT: ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
Hey Everybody,
Well, it's that time again folks. The State of the TAGS Board Address
is once again upon us.
This month marks the TWO YEAR anniversary of our subject line here on
Prodigy. Two years.. wow!
A friend of all of us, one of our own, wrote to me saying that he was
asked, "How can you stay on one subject for two years?" His reply was
that it was the "good people" that kept him comin' back. I have to agree.
When I started this board, the conflict in the Gulf was just about to
happen. Things in the outside world were kind of tense.
I wanted to have a place where folks could come and forget the troubles
they had to face everyday. So, I made the subject "Andy Griffith Show"
and I got two replies. One from Bob and the other from Pam. Then a
magical thing started happening. Folks from all over the country
started writing in to talk to us about our favorite little town.
Mayberry was reborn here on Prodigy. The folks who wandered into town
were always the kind of people that you'd want to stop and talk to about
how things were goin. People began to become friends and the board
grew, and grew.
Over the past two years I've become friends with most of the folks in
our little town and, given time, I'll be with everybody. I talk about
folks on this board like they lived next door to me. I know a lot about
most of ya'; where ya' work, how many kids ya' have, etc
You've all become my friends. Thank you for that. It let's us know
that there are people all over this big country of ours that are "good
people". Folks you could depend on to help you start your car in the
rain, check on you if you weren't around for a while. That kind of folks.
"Good people". How could it be said better. It seems to me that folks
that love TAGS like we do, just tend to be "good people".
Our board is different. Over the past two years, we've had a few "Ben
Weaver's" come to town. Not many, mind you, but a few. We made it
through it all because we just didn't let folks like that get our goat.
You've all been to other boards where everybody's mean mouthing each
other. It's not like that here, never was, never will be. Thank you
all for that.
I've tried to tell y'all what this board means to me.... It means,
friends. I don't get all mushy too often and this year has been one
that has seen me slip seen my activity with y'all. Through it all, from
the start there's been Bob. He's been here the whole time, active.
Thank you Bob, for all you've done to keep this board movin' in the
right direction.
Here's what I'd like to see from all you folks. Write you're own
version of the State of the Board address as a reply to this post. Tell
us all what the board has meant to you. Oh, you don't have to get mushy
but. tell us why you like coming here. I think it'd be fun to see how
you guys feel about our town,
Thanks for puttin' up with me and Happy Second Anniversary.
Allan in Huntsville, AL
===============================================
I hope everyone can continue to enjoy the WBMUTBB Chapter and the
friends we've found here for the next 14 years!
Happy Anniversary!!!

Hi Everyone: I subscribe to Dr. Good Word from alphadictionary.com. Everyday
they send a word, the meaning, history, etc. Was I ever surprised at the word
for 11-25 Flibbertigibbet. Just like Aunt Bee used to say. So I just had to
share it. It's copied and pasted below. Here's hoping you all had a Happy
Thanksgiving. Cathy, a.k.a. Skippy, one of Mayberry's fun girls in Ohio.
FLIBBERTIGIBBET
Pronunciation: FLI-b?r-ti-ji-bit
Hear it! <http://www.alphadictionary.com/sounds/flibbertigibbet.mp3>
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A silly, talkative scatterbrain, usually (as usual)
in reference to a woman.
Notes: You might take this word to an adjective, 'flibbertigibbetty',
but you wouldn't want to reach for the adverb, 'flibbertigibbetily',
for fear your co-conversationalist might walk away before you
finish it. The same applies for the stuff flibbertigibbets are
made of, 'flibbertigibbetiness': it takes much too long to utter
and is fraught with potential slips of the tongue.
In Play: I think we should not allow women all the fun of this
word. Male flibbertigibbets abound: "You can ask the flibbertigibbet
to tell his wife when he gets home but there is little chance
he will remember." (Do you know who I'm talking about?) If you
are a talkative woman, better a flibbertigibbet than a [Link
1] termagant.
Word History: This is a fine word to throw out in the appropriate
conversation, despite the risk of tripping over one of those
syllables. The original seems to have been recorded about 1450
as fleper-gebet, a rhythmic rhyme compound of the order of 'yackety-
yack', 'lickety-split', and 'yadda-yadda-yadda'. Its original
sense was a gossip or chatterbox, but over time it shifted to
a flighty or frivolous woman. (Today we are grateful to Katy
Brezger of the [Link 2] Alpha Agora for suggesting this playful
bit of English.)

A few of the 1980s TAGS videos from Premier Productions contained prints with
the original closing credits of Andy and Opie walking home from the fishing
hole (with the sponsor product in the bottom corner).
Does anyone have a list of which Premier volume #s, and/or episodes, contain
these gems?
