Re: Imitation Horn
Tom, I haven't ever gone to Mayberry Days even though it is close to me. I have seen some videos from it including a very interesting one by Don Knotts daughter. I should make it a point to go.

Don Knotts was from Morgantown WV. There is a cool statue of him in front of the Metropolitan Theatre there.

Re: Imitation Horn
Mayberry crime update: the wild women are at it again. A 38 year old high school teacher (quite attractive, her picture was on the front page of the paper) was arrested for taking indecent liberties with a minor. She is charged with having sex with 2 of her male students, both are 17 so it is not as creepy as some other cases.
We also had a woman arrested for embezzling Girl Scout cookie money. Her picture made the paper as well, but not the front page. Another woman was arrested for resisting emergency personnel, not sure what that is all about, a few of the usual DUIs and a failure to appear in court.
The strangest one was a man arrested for impersonating a US Marshall. It too was front page news. I got more information on it from the woman who cuts my hair and also cuts (or at least did) his hair. She told me that he told her he was a US Marshall and a DEA agent, but was evasive when she asked questions. She also wondered why he also worked part-time for Verizon He was so into his fake life that the way he got caught was that he approached two police officers and identified himself as a US Marshall and asked for their help in finding a suspect. When he showed his fake credentials the officers immediately knew they were fake and arrested him. Isn't life strange...

Re: Imitation Horn
Interesting stuff there in Mayberry Jim!!!!!!! The fake officer sounds like a real winner! The school teacher one seems to be happening more often these days, or at least more reported. In today's world, adult sexual relations with a minor is really the last social taboo. I am sure that will someday change as ever other moral rule has disappeared during my 59 years walking the planet.....Funny thing is when a male teacher ( or otherwise male adult) does this they go to jail for years, and there are police programs tracking males attempting to meet under age girls that set up stings to catch them, but a female gets a slap on the wrist at best for the same crime....I know she was hot and we all will say those teens were lucky, but there was damage done to them that is hiding below the surface......Not even Mayberry is safe now!!!
Re: Imitation Horn
You make a very good point there, Tom, and I agree with you 100%. There IS a double standard there, as well as the hidden damage done to those poor young men. Plus, they don't get much sympathy, do they? It's treated more or less like a joke!
I will push your buttons--please pass me your switchblades first.
Re: Imitation Horn
Tom,
No slap on the wrist for her. She is being charged to the fullest extent. Plus, there is another charge that makes it a felony in NC for a teacher to have sex with a student, even if the student is over 18. That is a relatively new law so here it seems to be going in the direction of getting tougher on these things.

Re: Imitation Horn
Jim while she will be charged with serious charges the plea deal will be far less. Glad to see the laws are getting better . I hope I am wrong, but time will tell. Yes Barb glad you agree! Sammy you're right!
Re: Imitation Horn
Though it lessens not the crime, double standards certainly are mind baffling. Anyone recently remember the name Asia Argento? She was a leader in the recent "Me too movement". An apparent famous actress (though I never knew her work). She was onstage at one of the big entertainment galas shaking her fists in the air, screaming female power against all the men recently accused of sexual misconduct. Claiming her herself a victim of Harvey Weinstein with tears in her eyes. Then, out of nowhere, her own 17 year old male victim emerges. She paid that boy $380,000 to keep his mouth shut (but, he didn't). The young man even had photos of them in bed together. I saw this on the news for a total of ONE day! Never heard another word.
