Neal Pomea Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Shazam! What a career! Loved his storytelling for Opie, like Romeo and Juliet, or his little chats with Barney. (Winkin'll tell Blinkin', and Blinkin'll tell Nod, and Nod'll tell Barney, and Barney'll tell you!)

Free For All Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 "Onionhead" was an interesting but strange film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 This is the e-mail "blast" from CNN. <Actor Andy Griffith has died at his home on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, the local sheriff says. > Something about the fact that the news comes from a sheriff in North Carolina just seems "right".

sonnymax Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 As a child, I was a big fan of the Andy Griffith Show, although Floyd the barber still gives me the creeps. I was just about to update my desktop background (below), but I'll keep it a while longer in his memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Schwartz Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) As a kid, when I saw this movie in the theater, it was the funniest thing in my entire world RIP <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/U2fSw0ua5K0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited July 3, 2012 by Mike Schwartz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yup...always liked that version. The LPs have more music than the CD BTW. Ol' Andy seemed like a nice man - lived a full life. Sorry to hear he's gone. He was the "awwww" and the "Shucks." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Floyd the barber still gives me the creeps. Floyd just kept having strokes and Floyd kept on barbering, even when all he could do was sit in the chair and slur his words. You find a barber who can do that today. I dare you. World gone wrong, this is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
