That's my pimping hat. I thought much of the radar stuff came from the military drab get up I was in.

Gotta love a purple fedora with faux leopard trim.

Don't worry, it was from my brother's halloween costume lol.

Oh yeah, M*A*S*H* marathon on FX today. 8 am to 1 am all M*A*S*H*. All the ones with Radar have passed though. Poor Gary Burghoff. Has no career. I think he played the Radar Character quite well and added an integral part to the overall story line. A young man's innocence lost in a the time of war. Sorta has a Red Badge of Courage feel to it.

Now Alan Alda, don't get me started on him. Has his moments but I like the ones where Mike Ferrell was the center of attention. His character had a hook. Family man brought into war.

Although the show was a comedy, it did have it's other moments. Loss of Henry Blake, the madness of Frank Burns, C.E. Winchester having his arrogance leveled time after time. The comoradory and bunching of people who would never have been together being together.

Good show. Too bad it's off the air.
