Hawkeye and Trapper, together again

Wayne RogersA lot of M*A*S*H fans were upset when Wayne Rogers left his role of Trapper John on the CBS show. Many thought he wouldn’t have the success he had on the show and others just missed the character (he was replaced by Mike Farrell’s B.J. Hunnicutt). He went on to many guest roles and a short-lived, 1976 private eye series I liked, City of Angels. But he actually made most of his money over the past 30 years from smart financial investments. So much so that he’s now a commentator on the FOX Business Network. His recent guest was his former co-star Alan Alda.

The two talk about several things in the first video, including Alda’s new movie (Diminished Capacity), memory loss, Alda’s award nominations, and their days on M*A*S*H. In the second video, Alda sticks around for a discussion with an expert on shows that are actually good for you, and two of those shows are shows that Alda starred in (M*A*S*H and The West Wing).

Marla Maples is a Patriotic Beach Babe

Marla Maples is a Patriotic Beach Babe

Wishing everyone in the States a happy Fourth of July, Marla Maples wasn’t about to hold back when it came to showing off her patriotism.

Earlier this week, Donald Trump’s ex headed out for her routine morning exercise, proceeding to skip across the sand while waving around a Stars and Stripes towel.

And at the age of 44, Marla’s showing that keeping a fine physique is indeed attainable with hard work and proper planning.

During a recent interview, Marla was asked: “Is it yoga? Is it Pilates? How are you so strong?”

Answering, Maples told: “I like to mix it up. I played competitive basketball for about 12 years and I love that. I love to get out and be a tomboy. But in order to stay healthy, Pilates is a really great way, and yoga is a great way to really stay fit from the inside out.”

Continuing on, Trump’s still-single ex added: I do feel great, and I feel so blessed and grateful for it. I’ve gone through a lot of difficult times, we made it through and I have an incredible daughter.”

The Courteeners - No You Didn’t, No You Don’t Lyrics

just because i use salty phrases
and i go through stages
where i neglect endeavour
because it means that i’m not clever

no, i don’t think so

just because my newspaper pages
haven’t been the Times in ages
does that mean that
i don’t know as much as you ?

jealousy will destroy us
or so she used to say
you’d kill for half the things we’d do
including yesterday

but i suppose you know,
because you went to school with me
you’d sit in the garage and you’d see
all the things that we do, don’t you ?

no you didn’t, and no you don’t
no you didn’t, and no you don’t
no you don’t
no you don’t

do you remember us lot doing keys
at the back of the garage at 243
that was us and no one else
and then luka jumping off the shelf

do you remember us lot doing keys
at the back of the garage where no one sees
that was us it was no one else

but i suppose you know,
because you went to school with me
you’d sit in the garage and you’d see
all the things that we do, don’t you ?

no you didn’t, and no you don’t
no you didn’t, and no you don’t
no you don’t
no you don’t

there’ll always be people looking down their noses
i’ll be here, coming up smelling of roses

so i suppose you know,
because you went to school with me
you’d sit in the garage and you’d see
all the things that we do, don’t you ?

no you didn’t, and no you don’t
no you didn’t, and no you don’t
no you don’t
no you don’t

The Mole: Episode 5

the mole
Nicole said something interesting tonight, right at the top of the show. “Why is that everyone I pick as the Mole gets executed and I don’t?” That’s a good question, because you would think that if Nicole is truly concentrating on one person every time she takes the quiz that she would have been eliminated by now. Maybe she’s The Mole! Of course, we can make that case for every single one of the remaining contestants at one point or another. Well, except for the one that was executed tonight, the player that a lot of viewers picked because this person was rather quiet and flew under the radar. Just goes to show you that you really can’t predict who’s going to get kicked off the show.

Something hit me tonight as I watched Paul do a nutty again on Clay and Mark over-react (overact?) about a challenge: one of these people is putting on a show. So maybe Paul’s intense jerk act is just that, an act, and he’s a helluva guy. Maybe Mark’s immature drama is an act and he’s really a cool person. Maybe Nicole’s arrogance and scheming is just an act and she’s really your average, nice girl. But think of this: only one person left on the show can be the Mole, so the other personalities we’re seeing are the real thing. Yikes.

In the two challenges tonight, I think a lot of the players were completely illogical. In the first, everyone is ticked at Mark because they think he took the exemption instead of the key. But why would they be so pissed at him? I mean, he was the last person left at the prison, so why wouldn’t he take the exemption? Hell, even Paul was tempted and he left a lot earlier (as it turns out, Mark didn’t take the exemption, though if he’s the Mole it’s a smart move). In the second, everyone is mad that Craig took the exemption after he got one by sheer luck, saying the word “exemption” first (of course, maybe it wasn’t luck, maybe he said it on purpose because he’s the Mole - then again, maybe the show made up the whole “first one to say exemption” thing, it really could have been any word they thought of after the fact). What, they wouldn’t have taken the exemption if given the chance?

And I’m so tired of these complaints about challenges (the “Travelers” challenge - too bad Traveler isn’t on anymore, we could have had a crossover episode). Everyone thinks it’s not worth it to be “humiliated” by wearing a llama costume or wearing stilts or riding a unicycle? Why the hell did the even sign up for this game? Mark really pushed this. You know what? I actually believe Craig when he says that even though he took the exemption he picked those things because he thought it would be fun. I think Craig is the guy I’d like to hang out with in real life, Mole or not.

I’m not sure what we’re supposed to think about another tie in the quiz. Only one second separates two players? The one executed tonight is Kristin, who seemed nice and was quiet (hey, turns out she probably really is!). All of the most controversial players - Mark, Paul, Nicole - are still around, along with the still-sick Craig (?), religious lawyer Clay (and no, Paul, those things aren’t contradictory), and musician Alex, who was the only one who really seemed to want to dress in a funny outfit tonight.

Next week: highlights from the season so far, but a new episode too.

Some observations/questions:

- Is there some significance with that damn lemon pet that Paul carries around? It will be fun to see the clues that the show laid out for us when the show is over.

- Some of the questions on the quiz are so specific that if you’re not the Mole and you concentrate on one person and they aren’t the Mole, you’re screwed. For example, a question tonight asked if the Mole used a sleeping bag in the prison challenge. Only one person had a sleeping bag and that was Clay.

- During his argument, Paul said “My whole life is a hypocrite.” Wow.

- The Mole is keeping a journal at over abc.com. I haven’t checked it for clues yet.
