<p>Npoulos: /* Page 182 */</p> <hr /> <div>{{GR PbP Text}}<br /> <br /> '''Un Perm' au Casino Hermann Goering '''<br /> reader suggestion:<br /> The image and metaphor of ''a permanent wave'' will become apparent as this section unfolds.<br /> Something else to note: How many times does Tyrone change costumes?<br /> <br /> ==Page 182==<br /> [[image:van-johnson.jpg|thumb|100px|right]]'''182.04 I’m some kind of a Van Johnson'''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Johnson’s film was titled ''Thirty Seconds over Tokyo'' (not &quot;Minutes&quot;), but there are more likely references at work, given the context of Bloat and Tantivy comparing British love life to Slothrop's. In at least two 1944 films, ''Between Two Women'' and ''Two Girls and a Sailor'', Johnson had to cope with multiple romances.<br /> <br /> ==Page 185==<br /> '''185.22 prewar Comets and Hamptons'''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> The Hampton sailboat had nothing to do with New Hampshire, as Weisenburger suggests; it was created for the Hampton Yacht Club in Hampton, Virginia. The Hampton is also known as the HOD (&quot;Hampton One-Design&quot;) and was created by Vincent &quot;Pappy&quot; Serio in 1934. This may be the origin of the name of Pynchon's character &quot;Pappy Hod,&quot; the sailor who first appeared in ''V.'' and is referred to later in ''Gravity's Rainbow'' (p. 715 and p. 748), although Pynchon uses the name for other connotations. See Weisenburger's note at V715.02.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{GR PbP}}</div>
