I'm whistling it right now. That tune was ingenious! Sorry to see him go.

ps I'm pretty sure you have to be a hawaiian native to earn the spam visor...maybe I'll open my own mama losin' it store and sell aprons and spam visors...we may be on to something.

It's probably because of my post...I have a lot of pull around here. You know, like Oprah. Just mentioning the word SPAM drove prices up.

That's hilarious. You know the Hawaiians are living. It. Up.

Okay ... I can't whistle. I've never been able to. But ... when I was in high school, we bird watched a bird (go figure) that sang that theme song. Only problem ... it would et stuck around "do do do ... do do doo doo" part and I couldn't help it! So it would start the song over! I was torture ... listening to that dumb song over and over again ... it getting stuck at the same old spot! And even with that type of motivation ... I still can't whistle!

I LOVE the Andy Griffith show!!! First I panicked when I read your post- I thought Andy Griffith had died!!!! I could hardly handle it when we lost Don Knotts. That's sad about the writer/whistler. :-(
I DVR the episodes on TVLand and we watch them all the time.

Today is the last day for the honor system something spectacular funness!

So far Mrs. Spice and Lance (of Lance & Blogyn, I presume?) are getting something spectacular!! Yay for you! I'm shocked that anyone anywhere could NOT hum said tune, even now I am. Of course, I've seen most episodes, even some stupid ones in color... why, oh, why did they have to put them in color?! Mayberry is definitely a black and white town, so to speak.

I must have been signed in as Lance!!! That was me. I know the song but I couldn't recall it right away. You don't have to send me something spectacular. I just got greedy. ;)

i didn't hum or whistle, but only because it took me until like 2 seconds ago to remember the tune.
