I can't be bothered with that right now. I'm inspecting the inside of my eyelids.

But to cut off a man's legs, and steal his drawers....

Excellent list. :-D

Oh, and don't forget that fruit salad with little marshmallows in it. Five o'clock Charlie. Section 8. I could go on.

Just the other day I got an email from Margaret Houlihan. I nearly deleted it as spam, but realized there's actually a woman in Scotland with that name--no big surprise--but she had a legitimate reason for emailing me. I refrained from responding, "Dear Hotlips..."

I'd almost forgotten about this list. What fun. :-)

I was a faitful M*A*S*H* fan. One scene that, for some unknown reason, always stuck with me took place in the Swamp. BJ was washing a pair of socks. Hawkeye asked BJ why he kept washing the socks as he never wore them. BJ answered something like: "If I wear them they will get ruined, but if I just keep washing them, they'll stay nice forever." I always thought that was so poignant. Nobody I know can recall that scene, but it always is the first one I think of when the topic of M*A*S*H* comes up.

Hawkeye: I've never seen you wear those.

BJ: Oh, I never do. If you wear 'em, they get dirty.

If I keep washing 'em, they stay clean forever.

They're actually just to remind me of better times.

Dontcry, I remember that scene very well! It isn't the first one I think of, but then there are so many others...

Yes! Thank you frog! I tried to google -- but I'm not the best at that. Bear, it makes me feel good that you remember it as well. There was just something so...primordial...for lack of a better term, about that. The writing for that show was...just tits.

I remember it too, dontcry. In fact, I just watched that episode last week. :-) (I received the big fat fancy-ass DVD M*A*S*H collection as a gift a few years ago.)

Why is there no asterisk after the H? Why?

Oh, funny! Didn't realize someone else had already posted that (I don't know how to post the pic instead of the link).

How about "to cut off a man's legs and steal his drawers"?
