Chew on this one for awhile!

The first M*A*S*H episode for today was pretty amusing; BJ was trying to make money to help Peg with the 2nd mortgage on their house so he was a total gambling fiend, and in the subplot, Potter was attending Rizzo's driving school.

Okay, second one was very... O_O. Someone fucked with Klinger's personality but they did it so endearingly that I can't even be mad. The beginning of the episode was a scream; Margaret was totally hysterical while Max was on the phone because it was taking so long for someone to answer, and when someone finally did, she grabbed the phone away from him and told him to get lost. He went into Potter's office and a second or so later she ran over and kicked the door and he yelled "OWW!". Heh. Such a cutie.

Anyway, the subplot was this stupid cow that this old guy brought in that was going to have a calf. Klinger was running around taking bets as to when the calf would be born, and totally forgot that Margaret needed him to drive her to the airport.

It was a grraaaaaand episode for Margaret-isms, because Potter needed her to give this lecture on the effects of some drug, but since she wanted to get to Tokyo, she had to have someone else give the lecture.

AND GUESS WHO IT TURNED OUT TO BE. XDDDD Poor Charles, he so couldn't care less about the drug, so he was sitting there writing it and had such a detached manner about him.. so cute.

Anyway, Margaret was running around trying to find Klinger and she found him taking bets from some guys in the shower, ran in, dragged him out and la dee da. He wanted to get a few more bets but she was whining so badly that he mostly just gave up and she gave him a buck for whatever time he wanted, who cares. GAWD was their banter funny. As usual he was the poor lil' cautious driver and she was screaming the whole time and got him to drive down this road that ended up putting a rock into the gas tank. XDD

So, Margaret's freaking out and Klinger's being oddly calm about the whole thing and she confessed that it was her birthday. What really struck me about the whole thing was that she was sitting on her suitcases with her hands folded and he was standing a few feet away, looking like the stereotypical "cool" dude, with his hands in his pockets and stuff. She mentioned how she didn't even have a birthday hat, and he said, "Hey! There's a newspaper in the jeep! I'll make you a birthday hat!" Awwww.... he's so cute. But yeah, she was bitter and angsty about it and she just said, "I hate birthday hats" and walked away.

Weird shit aplenty followed, because the next thing you know, it's night and she's lying in the jeep. Max comes running over with a bran muffin that he stuck a match in, saying how she better make a wish and blow it out before the match goes out. It did immediately, and he was like, "Aww, too late. Well, it's better than nothing". Mean loner bitch!Margaret kicked in and she said, "I don't want your sympathy, Klinger. That's worse than nothing." BUT EVEN AFTER THAT, instead of getting pissy or indignant or running off and pouting like usual, Klinger smiled and went and sat down like a gentleman.

Anyway, later on Margaret got to feeling bad, and she sorta apologized, saying that it really irked her that she hated birthdays because they reminded her of what she'd still not done in her life. Klinger tried to empathise with her by telling a story about this one time he wanted to go somewhere but the trains were cancelled because of the snow, and then he gave up because he realized it wasn't the same thing. Margaret was all demure and stuff and she said she envied him because of the way "his face lights up" when he talks about Toledo. He said, "Oh, yeah, it's a great place." She just shook her head and said "I've been to Toledo. You love it because it's your hometown" and then she talked about how she didn't have a hometown and blibbity blah.

Weirdest thing ever, Klinger actually said that when he was a kid, him and his friends used to razz (sp?) the new kids. I can't even imagine that... but yeah, anyway, Margaret said she never made any friends when she was a kid and the reason she kept everyone at a distance was because she was still afraid she'd lose them, and that's also why she was rude and all these other synonyms.

Klinger just smiled and you know what he said?! I wrote it down, because it was so damn cute.

"I think that underneath all that stuff.. there's some other stuff, that's pretty good stuff. You know?" OMFG, The Chibi Squee-o-meter went through the ceiling. Cause he was all... GAWD IT WAS THE CUTEST THING!!!! The "you know?" totally made it for me. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, they make a cute couple. That episode was just chock-full of shit that.. oh man.

However, I really don't think I'm going to write any K/M stuff... but it's a very interesting take on things... just yesterday I was speculating on their relationship, which I never even touch on in my fics except Margaret bitching at him. But there is definite subtext there. More, dare I say, that there is with Charles. And it's weird... I mean, REALLY weird to see Klinger as the man. He was just so... PERFECT.

Yeah... ugh. The only real C/K fodder was in the first episode, a couple lines that made me go, huh?

Klinger had to stay up all night helping Potter with his driver's test, and so when everyone came to the breakfast table, he was passed out next to his tray. The first one to talk was Charles, saying "I knew it was only a matter of time before this food took a life." XDD

Hawkeye told Klinger to go back to bed, and when he was leaving, Charles said, "There, but for the grace of god, goes my dog."

Yeah. His *dog*, eh? Innnnnteresting. If I wasn't so phucked up on Percocet, I'd probably have a lot more ideas as to what that one may have meant. I assume the "loyal" thing, and the fact that Charles often sees him in a subhuman light... but truth be told, maybe there isn't any deep meaning behind that line.

No... that's not the case, I'm certain. I'm just not able to think clearly right now. I wish my fucken tooth and leg didn't hurt... I'm not taking any pills for the rest of the time she has them. My head is just too swimmy, and I don't like it.

I cleaned out my mp3 folder on Netta today, and now my playlist is down to a trim 144 tracks. Quite nice. I also got back 550 something megs of disk space back. :D
