welll, gawlllyyy...

...except on episode 150, "tv or not tv", goober's last name was
"beasley"...


Oops. He WAS Gomer's cousin though, right?

he was ... the episode 150 name was an anomaly which was never repeated,
and he was indeed goober pyle ... so, you were correct (dammit!).

Well, if I may be allowed a momentary indulgence in a sterteotype we are
thoroughly familiar with anyway, I s'pect he was as confused and uncertain
about his last name as we are.

The voice we can live with.....if only just barely.....but please
don't adopt the politics.

not to worry... but billy's tough for a southern hick to imitate with a
straight fa... hey, wait a minute.

****, Billy is difficult to contemplate with a straight face.

who, given the poor marksmanship demonstrated above, will keep his
bullet in his shirt pocket for a while.

g sending it to the laundry?

Either a reference to yet another episode I don't remember (it HAS been a
while) or something else that blew right by me. In either case, I plead
clueless.

See here now, I really do hope that you've got some sort of "Complete Desk
Reference to Ain't Bea an' All'a her Kinfolk an' Whatnot" sitting on the
desktop in front of you. I'd hate to think that all this arcane knowledge
about Otis and Floyd and......um.....well ****, what was the name of
Earnest's heartthrob (and didn't she grow up and find her way to Hee Haw a
couple of years later?)?.... and all the rest of Mayberry (not to mention
Mount Pilate) rattling around loose somewhere under your pate. I mean, that
sort of **** has been known to pop up all unexpected like at the oddest
moments........it could wreak havoc on courtroom decorum.

who is nevertheless grateful for the tour down memory lane.
