threatened to give him fifty lashes with a we noodle. 

Barney complained to

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/18/2016:  08:26:56

Aunt Bea about Andy's behavior..

Meanwhile,,Otis sneaked into Andy's office and began

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/18/2016:  10:21:38

drinking his lighter fluid, then his stash of radiator antifreeze.

They buried him

OM45GE - Posted - 05/19/2016:  02:58:01

and his body was very well preserved with a warm glow to it. 

The funeral procession was

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/19/2016:  13:49:40

sadly short, with Gomer, Goober, and Freddie the Freeloader among the pallbearers.

Sked Relton was visiting the Baymerry set

OM45GE - Posted - 05/19/2016:  13:54:20

but someone's dyslexia caused him to visit the wrong town.

"Dod Gamn it!" he yelled when 

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/19/2016:  14:07:11

Andy told him to shut up.

But he was to drunk and stupid to

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/19/2016:  15:04:26

understand the Mayberry dialect, being only accustomed to Joizey slang.

So he slung

OM45GE - Posted - 05/20/2016:  03:41:12

his bindle stick over his shoulder and trudged off down the road. 

I wonder where he will

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/20/2016:  07:30:31

sleep tonight.

Maybe Andy will find him and

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/20/2016:  08:03:15

put him up in a cell at the station.

Andy likes to

OM45GE - Posted - 05/20/2016:  10:40:46

do nice things for people who others might look down on.

He's been known to

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/21/2016:  13:58:18

invite strangers into Aunt Bea's home.

Aunt Bea finally told Andy to

OM45GE - Posted - 05/21/2016:  17:30:13

pack his bags and find a place of his own. 

She was tired of him 

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/21/2016:  18:06:10

bringing home winos and rounders, who often chased Bea around the house looking for love.

There are drawbacks

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/22/2016:  04:11:45

because Bea couldn't run..

So she got a Doberman dog to protect her from

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/22/2016:  13:57:32

Andy and his entourage of losers and knuckleheads.

Speaking of knuckleheads,

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/22/2016:  16:17:49

This place is sure loaded with them..

Old timer truckers were called knuckleheads because they

OM45GE - Posted - 05/23/2016:  02:59:22

used their knuckles to settle disagreements. 

They weren't raised

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/23/2016:  03:20:32

to be accepted into normal society.

They have A League Of Their Own and anyone who

OM45GE - Posted - 05/23/2016:  03:22:53

tries to horn in on the action with be forcibly ejected from the game. 

It's happened before, 

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/23/2016:  03:31:35

Babe Ruth "cleaned house" with a ball bat.

Nobody messed with Babe either because

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/23/2016:  08:16:50

he grew up an orphan in the rough section of Ball-timore.

The Babe, babes, beer and hotdogs

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/23/2016:  09:18:07

had a profound effect on Old Babe.

It left him to where he was nearly

OM45GE - Posted - 05/24/2016:  03:26:27

elevated to sainthood by baseball aficionados. 

Red Sox fans

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/24/2016:  04:15:44

do not move much air like electric ones do.

But you can try to create

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/24/2016:  05:31:52

a better air flow by drilling holes in the gron meenster.

The Babe left Beantown

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/24/2016:  06:32:19

for better pickins' on down the road.

He didn't care much for

OM45GE - Posted - 05/24/2016:  06:54:11

getting traded but soon got his revenge on the ball field.

Derek Jeeter was

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/24/2016:  07:02:31

never a "double E" player like Edwin Encarnacion, who likes carrying a parrot on his arm when rounding the bases.

But spaceman Bill Lee, a double E man,

OM45GE - Posted - 05/24/2016:  08:23:21

was an enthusiastic pothead, not that I'm making fun of his hobbies 

He is interesting

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/24/2016:  08:27:22

turned out to be "4F".

Arlie Owens was also called off the bench when

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/24/2016:  09:10:27

Buck and Arlo were writing songs in the clubhouse and forgot their batting order.



They soon had the hongries for love and were waiting in the welfare line

(btw, I heard an interview with Bill Lee last month on the radio - he's coaching/managing a team in New Brunswick...still talks as wacky as ever...I like him...used to be an Expo for a while).

Spaceman is an interesting guy for sure. They have him in the broadcast booth for Sox games now and then.

They soon had the hongries for love and were waiting in the welfare line

hoping to find some unattached women to satisfy their prurient desires.

Of course, the women

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/24/2016:  11:35:55

we're ten time losers in the game of life, but they were born with two strikes against them.

Some have their tubes tied

OM45GE - Posted - 05/24/2016:  11:47:07

while others like to tie one on.

Personally, I prefer the ones who

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/25/2016:  05:57:00

have seen some hard travellin', and can read a railroad manifest.

You can't go wrong

OM45GE - Posted - 05/26/2016:  02:54:06

if you don't go anywhere, but that's not much fun. 

I prefer to

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/26/2016:  13:06:09

go have some fun..

Not everyone's idea of having fun is

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/26/2016:  13:39:34

staying inside with a/c to escape tropical heat while bums fry eggs on the sidewalk.

Sandy beaches

OM45GE - Posted - 05/26/2016:  14:44:36

are a fun place to go but you have to be careful not to drop your ice cream cone in the sand.

It will take hours to

J e f f - Posted - 05/26/2016:  14:59:26

ride your donkey back to the saloon to get another ice cream.

The saloon that I go to has

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/26/2016:  15:05:01

a barmaid named Lil who scoops a mean ice cream.

But if you

OM45GE - Posted - 05/27/2016:  02:46:10

expect more from Lil than a sweet frozen treat, you could be in for a pleasant surprise. 

Lil has been known to 

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/27/2016:  03:43:12

serve her frozen treats in the winter time..

Those who survive that often regret

OM45GE - Posted - 05/27/2016:  04:59:31

losing fingers and toes to frostbite.

Nine Fingers Freddy says he will never

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/27/2016:  09:05:18

be able to play "Chopsticks" again, nor "Kitten on the Keys".

So he took up banjo

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/27/2016:  09:57:14

and is trying to fake it.

And that isn't working out so he

OM45GE - Posted - 05/27/2016:  10:36:21

may decide to skip music altogether and take up something simple like rocket science or brain surgery.

He figures
