What made you think today?

I try and be in bed by 1. But yeah can relate to being a night owl myself.

Neither can I. Our body clocks run a little differently. Nothing wrong with that.

If there ever was one thing I found odd about M*A*S*H was that apparently Colonel Potter wasn't an early riser . . . I guess there are some exceptions to the rule, but it seems like almost everybody in his age group are always up at the crack of dawn and think nothing of it . . . and with him being the Commanding Officer of an Army medical unit, you would think he would have to get up really early to command his post. Then again, it's been made clear that Radar was usually the real man in charge of everything, and it seems like he hardly ever slept: he'd be up late at night filling out weekly reports, and be up even before 6:00 in the morning to get everything up and running for the camp.

That is true. My parents and grandparents were definitely morning people. Maybe someday that will be me too, who knows.
Up to the age of ten, I was always in bed at 9 pm and woke up to see the sun rise. And I slept sound the whole way through. Then in my teens my body clock shifted and it’s been that way ever since.



The dreams episode of M*A*S*H was surreal, how 30 hours in the OR will definitely throw your sleep off. And the ensuing dreams/nightmares. Poor Hawkeye losing his arms.
I’ll always have a soft spot for the episode where they keep waking a semi-comatose Potter up. First carbon paper, then a chopper, then cream for Margaret’s fanny fungus.

Why is weed refered to as Mary Jane? Did a person named Mary Jane discovered and smoke it?

 

[D'Snowth]

The only thing I'm aware of that's refered to as "Mary Jane" are those little black shoes with the buckled straps that little girls wear.

I think it’s short for marijuana.

 

[fuzzygobo]

There are many nicknames so for marijuana. Mary Jane because of its spelling. You wouldn’t walk up to a dealer and say “ Yes want to buy an ounce of marijuana, please”. He might think you’re a narc and plug you.

Weed, pot, grass, boot, hash, tea. Or if you wanted something specific. Like Acapulco Gold, Toledo Window Box.Michuacan It’s like getting a certain vintage of wine.
There are many new kinds sold at dispensaries now. Back in my pot days, I never bought or sold any. I was too afraid of getting busted. But playing in bands, it was common for someone to light up a spliff and pass it around.
In the 80s when the War on Drugs was going on (It was a colossal failure), possession of weed could get you ten years. If you were a pusher you were looking at twenty.

I was getting ready to say you seem strangely and specifically knowledgable about the stuff yourself, lol.

 

[fuzzygobo]

For about ten years, band mates, college roommates, and a number of library books gave me a good education of the mysterious cannabis plant.
It’s been about 25 years since my last puff. There’s so much new stuff now I wouldn’t know where to begin.
