>>>So here is the challenge: list the names of folks mentioned on TAGS who have >>>the world "old" in front of their name.<<<
Paul, I came up with a total of ten, but two of them are animals, so I'm not sure if they count as "folks." But I'll throw them in anyway. "Keeper of the Flame," season 2: One of the boys in the Wildcats club says, "Hey, you guys, Old Man Foster's coming! Come on!" "Andy Discovers American," season 3: Howie and Whitey both call Helen "Old Lady Crump." "Fun Girls," season 4: Andy says, "Barney, I'm not going to a dance and stand in a stag line with Old Man Schwamp." "A Date for Gomer," season 4: Barney says, "I'm not gonna stand in no stag line with Old Mr. Perkins and a bunch of slumped-over teenage boys!" (Interesting how much alike those two lines are. People tend to get them mixed up.) "Haunted House," season 4: Barney says, "Look, Andy, when Old Man Remshaw died, he said he didn't want that place disturbed." "Aunt Bee, the Crusader," season 4: Andy says, when asked where Aunt Bee is, "Probably over at Clara's holding a wake for poor, dear Old Mr. Frisbie." "Andy's Vacation," season 4: Barney says, "Now, look, Andy, Old Hugo Hopfleisch might have been on the wrong team back in '18, but he was a heck of a soldier!" "Big Fish in a Small Town," season 7: Everyone refers to the large fish as Old Sam. "Goodbye Dolly," season 7: Howard says, "Sure gonna seem strange around here. That horse Walt's got--Old Dolly--she's been clippity-clopping around town for years." "Barney Hosts a Summit Meeting," season 8: Barney says, "Well, what we need is a house, a good-sized house that'll accommodate all them public officials. Now, I was thinking about Old Man McCabe's place." There are probably others I didn't think of, so I'll be anxious to know what I've missed.
