I just realized that Lady Gaga is a parody of Lady Gaga.

I haven't engaged with popular culture since the turn of the millenium. It's kind of funny. They post celebrity birthdays and I have no idea who any of these people are or what they're allegedly famous for.

So, what's a Laddie Goga?

And let's keep it that way.

Bad enough I know who Elliot Gould is.

That name rings a bell, but I don't think I know who it is. 🤔

It's the bell ringer with no arms. His face rings a bell.

I remember Mandy Patinkin playing Quasimodo, and he did a great job!

OK, now that I've googled Elliott Gould, I see that he played Trapper John McIntyre in the M.A.S.H movie. I didn't see the movie, but I greatly enjoyed the TV series.

The TV series didn't have "Trapper" because it sounded like an accusation of molestation up to and possibly including rape.

I saw three episodes of the original series, one each year, in reruns, when I came home on leave.

What the hell are you talking about? Not only did the TV series have Wayne Rogers as "Trapper" John McIntyre, but there was a spin-off show set in the then-present day called Trapper John, MD starring Pernell Roberts.

I mean, They even had Oliver Harmon "Spearchucker" Jones in the first season. I don't think they were particularly sensitive about... anything.

Yeah, I crossed some wires somewhere. Been a few decades since I saw those epis. Didn't find a field hospital all that funny.

I did find this, so I guess it's true.

" His nickname comes from an incident in which he was caught having sex with a woman in the lavatory aboard a Boston & Maine Railway train: she claimed in her defense that "he trapped me!" "

Sounds like, but I can't be sure, that the incident was consensual but she made the claim when they were caught. This says shitty things about society whether my take is true or false.
