>>>Can anyone give me the source and context of the quote "You'd better gird
up your loins, mister, because your gonna have a fight on your hands." If
that is not the correct quote, please correct it.
That's from near the end of "Barney's Replacement." Barney has
(temporarily) resigned his job as deputy and taken up selling vacuum
cleaners door to door. When the new guy, Bob Rogers, arrests Barney for
violating the Green River Ordinance, Barney withdraws his resignation,
thanks Andy for handing him back his old uniform, and adds "...and you'd
better gird your loins, Buster! You've got a fight on your hands!"
For them that don't know, the phrase "gird your loins" literally means to
fasten a protective item (such as a leather belt) around your midsection, in
preparation for battle. Perhaps Barney was paraphrasing one of numerous Old
Testament verses, such as Jeremiah 1:17, 2 Kings 9:1, or Job 40:7. In those
days, a girdle was a piece of armor, not a slenderizing undergarment ... but
I digress.

Barney Fife was the answer to a Jeopardy! question last night. The question
dealt with a deputy that carried a bullet in his pocket. One contestant
gave the wrong answer before the champion answered correctly.

Mark,
We didn't actually stay at the Maxwell House B&B but I can tell you it's
absolutely beautiful inside.
Roger and Twyla Sickmiller, the people that own and run the B&B are some of
the nicest people you'll meet. Actually, Roger is the one that married us
during Mayberry Days last year! I think you'll have a wonderful time
staying there!!
If you're lucky enough to find a room available there during Mayberry Days,
I'd take it.......... the place is usually booked up years in advance.
Oh and by the way Michael Eury..... Thanks for that message about Mt. St
Helen Crump... that was pretty good!! I got a good laugh out of that
one.... and as Andy says..."aren't you the clever one for thinking of it!"
Greetings from Portland, Oregon, where we're waiting for another big
blow-up from Mt. St. Helen Crump. Boy, Mt. Andy must've done something
*really* bad, 'cause Helen's been steaming for days!

TAGS fans,
In case you didn't see my comic strip yesterday
("Tuttle's"), I slipped in a TAGS reference that
should be obvious to us trained noticers, but probably
went on by most everyone else (though, hopefully, they
still laughed!). If you didn't see the strip, go to
http://burtcottage.dailyread.com/Sams_Place/tutep754.html
Best of luck to you and yours!

Weren't we all proud last night when our beloved sheriff was named the #1
TV Dad of all time? I was just waiting to hear, thinking it couldn't
turn out any other way, but still felt like singing when it was
announced!

>>>The Digest has been a little more quite lately that in the past and
I'm sure that has some to do with the problems we've had in the last few
months. It looks like the problems are behind us and things are going
well now.<<<
That's one thing I don't like is people calling me quiet (or it is
quite?) I may be dull, or low-spirited at times, and I'm very
"Untrained" but I ain't quiet. There is not a quiet bone in my body.
Boy the vein in my neck just sticks out when people call me quiet.
MEEAATT TATERS BREAADDD Se I ain't even quiet when I eat. Well I
have been busy lately and enjoying reading about Mayberry Days and
Andy. Thanks all for sharing.
...I love the reference to Mount Saint Helen's blowing up...and what did
Andy do to infuriate it.
You know a few days ago we were talking about the 2 Carnival episodes,
and how those were the last B&W, and I mentioned that Barney was not in
them. That got me to wondering what Barney's last B&W appearance
was.....and do you know it was the one when he tried to recite the
preamble to the constitution??? (at least in aired order) How tough
that must have been for fans at that time for Don Knotts to give one of
his all-time funniest performances...and then know that he was leaving
the show. Anybody remember that???? What makes it classic also it the
two camera angles they go back and forth with...one with hair combed,
and one with it messed up. Classic.
I saw Ron Howard's western movie (was it The Missing?) and I loved
Clint Howard as the Sheriff...because I always thought if Mayberry were
to continue today and Andy and Barney were retired, that Leon would be
Sheriff...and he would feed al the prisoner's PB&J.
Ain't quiet no more..can you tell a bird to just whisper chirp chirp
Meee Theyyyyy ME Theyyyyyyyyyy
The Untrained Voice...and don't call me or my mother quiet

Perfect comparison of Mt. St. Helens and someone we all know with the same
name. (Smoldering lava underneath a charming, calm, attractive surface. Then,
unpredictable eruption power at any moment, spewing forth hot molten rage,
continuing unforgiveably for an extended period, then slowly recessing back to
a calm state.....until the next eruption). Bravo, brilliant analogy!
