Sorry, Hawkeye; M*A*S*H gets bowled over




Sorry, Hawkeye

Who knew Abe Vigoda was still alive? A record 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints upset the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl, surpassing the nearly 106 million who watched the final episode of “M-A-S-H” in 1983.

For those keeping score, that works out to 6.5 million interested in the game and 100 million waiting to watch Betty White get tackled in a mud puddle.



  • The tipping point: With high school sweetheart balls and proms approaching, it might be a good idea to go over restaurant tipping protocol with teens so they don't stiff the wait staff at Outback.

    But here's Rule No. 1: Unless the food is wrapped in paper decorated with golden arches, you should tip.



  • Going for the gold: Gold Bar, which got its start as a prospectors' camp, marks its centennial this year with a series of celebrations, including Gold Dust Days in July. Mayor Joe Beavers says the plan is to “party like it's 1910."

    So, if you're going to Gold Bar, remember:

  • You can ride your mule to a tavern, but you can't count it as your designated driver.

  • Women's bustles are optional but encouraged.

  • And don't forget to patronize these sponsors: Munson's Paw-Paw Pills and Dr. Case's Carbolate of Tar Inhalants.
