There was the episode when Radar came back from R&R in Tokyo and couldn’t remember anything. Then there’s the episode where Potter sent him home under a hardship discharge; while arguing with Hawkeye, Radar made ambiguous statements regarding his virginity. So, at least in M_A_S\*H it’s never made clear if he did or not. ---

I’m posting in this thread just because the misspelling is driving me insane. The word is n **ai** ve, or if you want to go all charmap on it, naïve. ---

Alright, I got a chance to ask a guy who works a few offices down from me. This guy is a walking, talking M_A_S\*H database. He says Radar probably got laid in at least two early episodes. He described the main plot points of the episodes and I looked them up in a [MASH episode guide](http://www.faqs.org/faqs/tv/mash/guide/). The first time is in **The Army-Navy Game** (episode 20) when an unexploded bomb lands in the middle of the camp. Friend said during the time everybody was hiding Radar told a red-headed nurse that he didn’t want to die a virgin and asks, well, you know. Supposedly she says yes. Second time is in **Springtime** (episode 54) when Radar falls in love with a nurse. Friend says that Radar recited poetry to his love dictated by Hawkeye(?) that had a nonsensical word in it, like “flork” or something. Radar shows up in the Swamp at the end looking all disheveled and says he was “florked” by the nurse. I don’t have the DVD releases so I can’t check these out. Somebody else want to? ---

Slaked. The word is slaked. He was slaked. In the episode with the bomb, he definitely propositions a nurse, and she accepts and they go away together. Later in the episode, he’s seen propositioning another nurse. So not only was he slaked, but he was a \stud\. ---

The poetry one Radar comes back from the field where he had a picnic with the nurse. He has lipstick smears on his face, his hair is tosseled and his clothes are in disarray. Radar says > [@](#): > > I think I’ve been slaked! It’s possible that he just made out because I’m always very sure when I get laid.
