Griff offered this.

2. The maker doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't see it. What is it?

Who is gonna guess this? I do not have a clue.

The answer is a coffin...there is one exception though, KISS makes a custom "KISS" coffin that can be used as a beer cooler before you die. With one of these even after you are dead everyone will know that you had no musical taste whatsoever!

OK, here ya go folks, 'cuz it may be a while before I get back to the boards:

Question: How did the guy in the field with the pack on his back die?
Answer: His parachute didn't open.

Tom Slick's car's name = The Thunderbolt Greaseslapper
Super Chicken's regular name = Henry Cabot Henhaus III

Question: The maker doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't see it. What is it?
Kudos again, Bob, well done!

The answer: A coffin

Sorry I don't have answers

to any of the remaining unanswered questions in this really fun

thread.

As far as MASH...I've only seen a couple episodes, not nearly enough to "know" the characters. (When I got my first bicycle, I was GONE outta that house 'til late...didn't watch much TV after getting mobile.)

Anyone else here remember Winky Dink? They used to sell a kit with a plastic sheet that you could place over the TV screen, and a grease pencil that you were supposed to use to draw on the plastic whatever tool/device Winky Dink needed to use in the story line.

We used to draw beards & mustaches (and other innocent stuff) on the plastic and wait for a character to position themselves behind 'em. First person's beard & mustache/other item to be utilized won the round.

Ahh-h-h, the simple, harmless fun we had in those days...didn't start blowing stuff up until later years...

I know Radar's fave soda was grape nehi and he was from Iowa..."Uptumwa" or something like that. Here is another Mash question. What is the name of the theme song and who wrote it?
The same person was on about 3 episodes as the singing surgeon. What was the singing surgeons name?
Another Radar tidbit. The actor who played Radar was missing fingers on one of his hands, durring filing he was always holding something to hide it.

"Suicide is painless" Not sure who wrote it though.

Suicide Is Painless by Lawrence Welk.

Radar was always holding a clipboard.

Excuse me! Is that a dead skunk in the middle of the road?

Rudy ... I had to look up Suicide Is Painless on Wikipedia ... I wouldn't have been able to guess otherwise ... initinals JM music, MA lyrics ...

Reference to Grif's Winky Dink screen ...
We came to the States when I was six ... had never seen tv. Dad bought a b/w and what was our intro to color tv .. a lens, like a fresnel, that stuck to the screen ... as you moved your head, the color spectrum changed like a rainbow

... Robbie the Robot was the popular kids show in El Paso, might have been a local only production ... no names come to mind, but he was hooked up with an alien robot group, pretty cool for the times.

Soon I will have to collect the unanswered questions and supply answers to them to bring closure, but not now.

I am just going to pose another question.

Remember that show The Banana Splits?

What type of vehicle did you see them driving around in, in the intro to the show?

OH, one more: What song contained the line "Second verse, same as the first"?

Maybe I was wrong about Louden wainwright the lll ..The Banana Splits drove those cool 6 wheeler off road things...they had flower decals all over them too.

I used to LOVE the Banana Splits Show! They used drive something like Amphicat...amphibious 6 wheeler....my Uncle Bill bought my cousins one back in 1968 or 69 and we used ride that thing all over Batavia, Illinois. Those were the days.
