Incidentally, one of the reasons for MASH's overwhelming success was the depth of the characters. Those who didn't pay enough attention probably never really got that part of it though.

I got the name Radar when I was in high school and college and I looked very much like Gary Burghoff (Radar on M*A*S*H). I won thousands of dollars in several Halloween costume contests merely by putting on the uniform, hat, and glasses and carrying a teddybear.
When in college I wore more of a black hat in the I.T. world than I do now. Now it's normally a white hat, but occasionally gray.
