Thelma Lou Thanks for sharing your Mayberry moment with the Citizens Arrest. Too Funny!
Here's what happened to me today for my Mayberry momement. I was at a Mexican restaurant (No violin player so no quarter tip to worry about). I thought about doing like Barney and pointing to things that I did not understand but I did not want to take a chance on getting snails and brains. I picked out something that I had eaten before "Pollo Bandido". My family was impressed. They asked me what it was. "Pollo", I said Proudly, "is Chicken" Well what's Bandido? they asked...all I could think of was the Frito Bandito, so I immediately said "Thief" It's Chicken that Chicken Thieves have stolen..which resulted in laghter around the Easter Dinner table. I loved my Pollo Bandido..of Chicken (stolen by Chicken thieves) and what-not. well its been a rough weekend here in our little corner of Mayberry. When veteran contributers like Mike Peacock and Bob Braveti are discouraged enough to clam up..something is wrong. I hope you guys can get past what ever unpleasantry has taken place and be like your old selves again soon. All you guys did was bring up the rules that Allan has shared repeatedly, and on a topic, (TV Land) that has been specifically called out in the past many times. Allan gives us the freeedon to be a little self-governing and use a little peer pressure when things get a little out of bounds so that he doesn't have to seem like a pest jumping in all the time. He allows us to get a little off-topic at times, as long as it doesn't get too carried away or last too long. At the same time, we all make mistakes and forget the rules at times..so that too is forgivable, and we should respect and appreciate a gentle nudge reminder from our fellow Maberryians when that happens. OK now everbody go back to your homes and places of business (the crisis is over) and lets get back to that Mayberry spirit.
