I don't know if I'm not using that Wiki right or what . . .but it
doesn't include a notation for Moondoggie or  Darren in The Time
Tunnel (p.261). Maybe it's elsewhere, but the page-by-page annotation
omits these very important allusions. As I posted previously, when
Shasta shows up in the same outfit, Country Joe and the Fish T-shirt
(Ch. 15), Larry has been talking about smoking some Thai weed. That he
hasn't yet smoked it, but seems under its influence is also
significant.
