I was going to take Winchester's record player, but JD got in first.
There was a bust made of Colonel Potter's head in "Dear Mildred". I don't
think it was seen again after that episode. Must be worth something. I'll
take that. :)

Also the bust of Colonel Potter would be cool to have.

All the props mentioned in this subject, especially the ladle, bring
back fond memories. Time has definatley given them more character and
charm than they had on the set. Most of those "goodies" are tucked away
in my memory, but I do have Igor's Army hat, the last call sheet
produced for the show and a couple of little badges given to those in
attendance at the final party on stage 9.
I do wish I had that ladle, Igor's pre-stained apron and one of the beer
cans used in the bar.

How neat! Just out of curiosity, how did they "pre-stain" your apron?

LOL! It's kind of scary the associations you make with newsgroup
topics and such. When I went off to Vancouver this spring, I drove
past a town named Tuttle, and naturally thought of the group.
That's highly classified information even to this day. If I were to
answer it, I'd be forced to...you know.

Jeeze, I think if I were a semi-regular player on a long-running TV show and
word came down that this was the last season, I'd be grabbing everything in
sight. I would be like those Korean kids -- Roger and Elmo? -- I would be
clanking and klunking as I walked to my car.

Our prop man worked very hard at keeping track of all the props. As soon
as a scene was over, anything that could be lifted was put safely away.
He was a friend, and taking a prop on his watch would have been a
serious violation of our friendship. Even if that hadn't been the case,
behaving like a slickie boy just wasn't in me. It was more comfortable
and rewarding to say "so long" to it all than to take small pieces home
in a bag. My mind was on the future, not stealing props from the studio.
Years before MASH, I worked at Fox in the mail department. On one of my
daily mail runs, I noticed workers cleaning out what used to be Daryl
Zanuck's office. They were throwing boxes of stuff into the dumpster.
Eager for a mail-run break, I took a few minutes to pick through it. Let
me tell you, a lot of interesting showbiz history became garbage that
day. The only thing I salvaged was a screenplay with Zanuck's
hand-written casting suggestions and author notes scattered throughout
its pages. It was garbage one minute and interesting memorabilia the
next. Still got it.
I do wonder where Igor's ladle is today.

Frasier was third with 19.0
Friends with 15.7

The script is titled The Little Horse, released as Sentimental Journey.
Zanuck suggested, among others, Cary Grant and Bette Davis for the
leads. It was produced with John Payne and Maureen O'hara. The song,
Sentimental Journey, played constantly through the film.

>Being a resident of the southern hemisphere, I was wondering if someone

I've often wondered this myself, and I'm a Merican. From what I can tell, it
is a piece of clothing made popular in the 40s and 50s, during America's love
affair with tobacco. It's a thigh-length, robe-type affair, usually made of
silk or satin, usually, fastened with a sash and worn over pants and shirt.
They're quilted, and I've always thought they offered some protection against
errant ash or liquor. If an ash falls on it, then it stands a good chance of
chasing down off the sheer fabric, or, if the ash stays, there's the bunting
to protect you from burning your pants or shirt.
But I think more than a practical garment, they just became a popular peice of
lounge wear for the bourgeoisie. Men would come home, take off their coat and
tie, and put on a smoking jacket and scarf before retiring to the den. My
grandpa used to wear one, it was maroon and black with a little bit of a
gilded pattern that ran among the quilting. He wore it in the evening when
he'd light his pipe, and it always had that mellow pipesmoke smell. On "I Love
Lucy," Ricky Ricardo often wears one when he gets back from the club.
Okay then,

> Hows about a complete MASH tent?
They are not hard to come by, actually. Well, tents used on MASH, I'd
imagine, would be very hard to come by, but little army tents similar to
those used in the show are easily had at your finer area army-navy
surplus store. Although it's hard to say for sure, since you never get a
really great look at the fittings and fixtures of the whole tent, my
informed opinion says that the Swamp is what is known as a "Field Tent,
General Purpose, Medium" (I'm getting a little crazy, backwards,
talking), also know simply as a GP Medium. These tents were still in
service in reserve units up until the mid-90s, though I can's say that
they still are. GP tents are constructed of heavy canvas and many of
them still have brass grommets, real jute rope (just touch it with bare
skin and it gives you a burn), and wooden poles and fasteners. Your
mileage may vary, though, because lots of replacement parts are
aluminum, plastic or nylon. Most of the MASH tents are reinforced with
wood framing, at least in the front, and they have door kits, which are
optional. An ordinary GP Medium is held up by the center pole, stakes
around the perimeter and tie lines that come off the roof. For a door,
there's just a double flap baffle kind of a thing -- you sort of fold
your body into the tent, so that the flap doesn't have to be open to the
outside (more to keep IN the light than to keep OUT the cold, by the
way).
I think all field tents have an optional lining that you can grommet in.
I know there is one for the GP Medium, and it can be seen occasionally
in the early episodes of MASH. You get a good look at it in the pilot
episode when Pierce is explaining what the announcement for the nurse
raffle should say. Pierce "writes" the announcement on the tent roof --
that light fabric he's touching is the tent liner, not the outside tent
roof. The lining makes installation of the tent more cumbersome and
complicated, but it keeps the tent warm(er) in cold weather and cool(er)
in warm weather. If I remember right the liner comes and goes in MASH.
In the later episodes, it's gone.
GP tents are not easy to set up -- you want at least two people for a
Medium, especially if it's getting dark, heh heh. They're heavy too, as
you might guess. A GP Medium's wooden center pole alone would likely
weigh as much as the commercial 5-man cabin tent of today. Heh heh. Not
for backpacking. However, if you install your GP Medium properly, it
will stand up to quite a beating.
This has been your monthly "Know Your Tent" lecture. Tomorrow, we'll be
discussing figures A and B...
Okay then,
