| #7 Yup. Height of his career, the Paul Massoon phase ("sell no wine... before it's / its time, heh, get it?"). Plus Bob Newfart, Art Garfinkle, AEllen BArkin. The Van Patten Family. A winning lineup of B-List Hollywoodies from the Golden Age of 60s Schlock. |

| #6 Great book. Decent movie. Orson Welles was past his prime but excellent as Gen. Dreedle. |

| #5 #4: Just like Major Major? Major Major was an awkward child, disliked by other children and even by parents, who found he made them uncomfortable. Major Major majored in history in college, distinguishing himself in no way, then entered the Army, where he was promoted to Major through a glitch in a computer system. Once promoted, he remained a major, even though he had no military experience—no one saw fit to demote him. Major Major was thus a major even before he completed boot-camp with Lieutenant Scheisskopf, whom he outranked. When Major Duluth of the 27th Squadron was killed in action, Major Major was assigned by Cathcart to take his place, despite the fact that Major had only just arrived to Pianosa. |
