"You know, it's got a cop motor, cop tires, cop
suspension, cop shocks, etc."
That was a nice Blues Brothers/Elwood reference,
Paul! Here is a possible stumper for you. Name a
connection between the original Blues Brothers movie
and Andy Griffith.

"Every time I read a quote from TAGS that someone has written, my mind
plays it to me in the exact voice and timing that it was originally spoken.
Sometimes it triggers the episode to start running in my head, and I
enjoy every minute of it."
That's because you have a projector in your head. It's not unusual for
people to have appliances in their bodies, ask Barney who has a clock in his
stomach. His mother does too, but don't mention it as he's touchy about people
making comments about his mother.
On the subject of vehicles, I was behind an SUV that had a license plate that
reminded me of TAGS. It said "L Crump" and there was a young lady driving it.
It must have been another of Helen's nieces.

Our Church, New Horizons Baptist, in Oxford, NC, is kicking off our Christmas
Season this week, and our Wednesday night Bible Study will be the Mayberry
Christmas Show. I was reviewing my material this morning, and noticed that this
particular episode can bring tears to your eyes if your really pay close
attention to the meanings behind this well, put together script!!! Of course,
the laughs are still there also. I also noticed that this was another episode
that had "RAIN". When Andy pulled into town with the family of "prisoners", the
street had puddles of water on them, and the squad car was wet.
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!! Ben "Weaver" Currin

Hey to Crystal, and the rest of you,
My favorite part in the Opie and the Bully episode was when
Andy asks Barney if he ever worries if he is doing the right thing; and that
self-doubting moment for Andy, that moment of
did-I-make-the-right-decision-for-my-child, is a time all good parents know
only too well. And when Andy
asks that question of Barney and Barney, for once, doesn't
brag about himself but answers humbly and honestly, "Yeah,"
I can really feel the humanity of both characters: Andy the
father, and Barney the often flawed but always willing friend and deputy.
That's why we can forgive Barney for his failings. His heart is pure. He wants
to be good. He wants to be like Andy.
Andy helps Barney; and in his way Barney helps Andy. Without our Barn in his
life, Andy is a much stiffer, less
colorful person, much more set in his ways.
These two men needed each other as much as we enjoy seeing them together.
That's the way life often is. We find exactly who we need when we need them.
It's called a blessing and we should always remember to give thanks for it.
Lydia here with my Laura Lee Hobbs
Now that was about as well said as I have ever heard Lydia! Good job!

Had lunch at the Mayberry Cafe in Danville, Indiana today (one of my favorite
eatery's in the whole world). Sit at a booth by the window, and viewed the
Squad Car the entire time. Awwww.....if only Andy and Barney were climbing out
to come in for an afternoon left-me-up <sad face>.

If I remember correctly, back in the 60's and 70's, the cars used on the shows
were more the result of paid sponsorship rather than being "real" police cars.
Ford sponsored lots of those shows - Like the "FBI" and such. That's why there
were so many Fords on the show. In fact, back in those days, the majority of
real police cars were Chrysler products because they were cheaper.

Does anyone have any idea what type and model of motorcycle (with sidecar)
Barney purchased through a Army surplus auction? I'm assuming it's an Indian
or Harley, but not sure from there. Andy planted a plaque in the sidecar
showing that the bike was used to cross the Marne River by General Pershing
in 1918. I'm sceptical the bike is that old, but I could be wrong. Any clues
or info would be greatly appreciated.

Don,
The squad car you saw west of Knoxville, TN on Dec. 3 probably belonged to
Michael Lowery, a squad car owner in our Knoxville "Mayberry" chapter and a
prince of a fellow too. Our chapter participated in the Karns Christmas Parade
that morning with 3 squad cars. Michael was on his way back home from the
parade. Next time you're in town you'll have to stop by and say "how-dee". We
could count cars as we sip sweet cider on the porch. Another chapter member
has nearly the whole town of Mayberry built
in his backyard in South Knoxville. You'll have to come see the sites. As
Andy says, "It was a sight to behold!"
10-4.

>>>I am 43 yrs. old and love watching Andy Griffith. Have always wanted
to know who Mr. Schwamp was played by, he never spoke a word, but was
funny in his own way, someone should know who this person was.. Thanks,
Randy Brown<<<
Well Randy, Welcome to the club, in more than one way. Welcome to all
the new members who have joined. Looks like some right nice folks, and
awesome Andy fans. Those are the kind of members we got here at our
Esquire Clu...I mean at the Digest.
Randy, your question caught my eye, because with your first question,
you have hit upon the holy grail of Mayberry mysteries. You might as
well have asked what Opie's mother looked like. You are as likely to
get an answer to that as you are to what Sarah looked like with a pinch
of snuff in her cheek. You're more likely to find a photograph of the
spirit of Count Istvan Telecky. Why you might as well wonder if
Barney's Juanita at the Diner was a blonde from a bottle or how Gomer
mysteriously only knew about gas oil air and water one day, and was a
genius mechanic the next. Yes Randy, there is a Santa Claus...er I
mean there is a Schwamp and he is real. There is no actor behind the
man as far as any of us knows.
Now don't get me wrong, this is a right smart bunch of people and there
are a whole bunch of "trained noticer's" Why they can tell you how many
times Barney's hair went from combed to mussed up and back again while
he was reciting the preamble to the constitution. They can tell you
when the film negative got turned around and Andy's hair appeared parted
on the wrong side. They can name every girlfriend seen and unseen that
Andy or Barney ever had. They can name Background Actors from Bob
McQuain to Mary Lansing to Allan Melvin, to Joe Hamilton, Tom Jacobs
and on down the list except.....Mr. Schwamp and Hazel the pianist.
Now maybe just maybe there is somebody out there the knows...but if
there is, they ain't sayin. We've give 'em the Barney Fife "Peter Pipe
nose-pinching, one-leg hoppin, ruler slappin, spotlight staring,
dream-talking, intercom listenin' checker playin, fingerprintin'
interrogation test..but their lips are as sealed as Schwamp
himself..they aint talkin, they ain't talkin' the more we ask, the more
their balkin...but in reality, Nobody Knows!!!
I'm a leading conspiracy theorist on the Schwamp mystery. The annuls
and archives of this Digest will document my theories that Schwamp was
a) a party animal who was known to drink a little too much Root Beer,
and b) that his occupation was that of the local funeral director (but
more on that later)
Your question has prompted me to offer yet another Schwamp hypothesis.
One day, on the set of the Andy Griffith show, a producer says to a
casting director. We need a smiling child-like homely winsome affable
meek person to play the part of a memorable reappearing Extra. They
need to be ready for the Mrs. Wiley party scene of the upcoming "My
Fairest Ernest T Bass" episode.
The casting director went through dozens of applicants, and hundreds of
photos trying to find the right person, with no luck. That night, on
the way home, the casting director stopped in a restaurant
for a cup of coffee. As he was pondering the tough assignment, another
customer sitting alone in a booth, lowered his newspaper and smiled and
nodded at the exhausted casting director. The details of what happened
next are not totally known, but the story goes that the unassuming
restaurant customer had such a stuttering problem that the interview
took hours.
The next day the casting director walked proudly into the Producer's
office with his discovery. The smallish man was dressed in a new suit,
but wore his own bad hair piece. Around his neck the casting director
had hung a sign that said "smiling child-like homely winsome affable
meek person". The Producer read the sign aloud "Smiling Child-like
Homely Winsome Affable Meek Person" He smiled. The casting director
grinned broadly and repeated "Smiling Child-like Homely Winsome Affable
Meek Person" They laughed together and repeated aloud together
"Smiling Child-like Homely Winsome Affable Meek Person" while the
mystery guest just smiled and nodded.
Then the producer stopped laughing and asked, "what will we call him?"
...and the rest as they say is history

GOOD MORNING, WORLD news item
Ronnie Schell (TAGS' "The Foster Lady" and "Emmett's Anniversary," Duke
Slater on GOMER PYLE) on DVD January 17, in his 1967 - 1968 TV series GOOD
MORNING,
WORLD.
He starred in this sitcom during his one-season absence from USMC; costarring

Saw this on cable's USA back in the 1980s, and it's very funny, although
virtually forgotten today.
