Pynchon may just be using the word in with its basic literal meaning (hoboes), but it is also the name ("Bindlestiffs of the Blue A.C.") of a "club of ascensionaries from Oregon," referred to in Against the Day at page 18 and again at page 1083.

==Page 316==
'''Carl Yastrzemski''' 
Carl Yastrzemski played for the Boston Red Sox from 1961-1983, and was at the peak of his career between 1967 and 1970, when he was among the most formidable hitters in professional baseball. Like Pynchon, he grew up on Long Island. He was generally admired as a hard-working, unpretentious player.

==Page 318==
'''Mike Curb''' 
In addition to contributing the musical score for The Big Bounce and other movies, Mike Curb was the leader of The Mike Curb Congregation, a popular music group with a wholesome, all-American image. The group often appeared on the Glen Campbell Show. He was also a record-company executive and, later, a Republican politician who was elected Lieutenant Governor of California in the late '70s.

'''The Big Bounce''' 
Is a film adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel. The score is bouncy and peppy, and entirely out-of-place in the movie, and Doc's opinion regarding it is likely shared by many, if not most, viewers.

'''amyl nitrate''' 
Should probably be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyl_nitrite "amyl nitrite,"] which has a psychoactive effect.

==Page 319==
'''he woke up, mercifully not too many hours later''' 
Afternoon, Tuesday, May 5, 1970.

==Page 322==
'''your hour is at hand''' 
In [http://bible.cc/matthew/26-45.htm Matthew 26:45], Jesus wakes up his disciples and warns them that the "hour is at hand" (i.e., Jesus is about to be arrested).

'''dropped it inside the forms for a concrete support column about to be poured.''' 
The fate of Adrian's victim bears a resemblance to some of the theories about the 1975 disappearance and presumed murder of Jimmy Hoffa and disposal of his body.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Hoffa Jimmy Hoffa]

==Page 326==
'''Dagwood and Mr. Dithers, Bugs and Yosemite Sam, Popeye and Bluto''' 
These are all pairs of cartoon characters who are in conflict.
:Dagwood butts heads with his controlling boss Mr. Dithers in the comic strip [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondie_(comic_strip) Blondie].
:Bugs often has to hide from his nemesis Yosemite Sam in the TV cartoon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugs_bunny Bugs Bunny].
:Popeye and the brute Bluto fight for the affection of Olive Oyl in the cartoon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popeye Popeye].

==Page 327==
'''He lit up one of Puck's prison menthols''' 
This is, it seems to me, a very odd time to be having a smoke, with (potentially) match flare and/or tobacco smell announcing his position when he most wants to be invisible.

'''Some late light off the ocean''' 
Evening, Tuesday May 5, 1970.

Sunset, Tuesday, May 5, 1970.

'''Herb Alpert arrangement of "Yummy Yummy Yummy"''' 
Thankfully probably a fictional song. Anyone been able to track down a recording? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_alpert Herb Alpert.] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yummy_Yummy_Yummy "Yummy Yummy Yummy"] is [http://www.last.fm/music/The+Residents/_/Hitler+Was+A+Vegetarian covered,] starting at 5:24, of the lengthy "Hitler was a Vegetarian" from the Residents' satirical pop album [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Reich_%27n_Roll The Third Reich 'n Roll.] Not to be missed if you're looking for something to cleanse your palate if you feel like you've listened to just too many of the songs name-checked in the novel, especially since a few of them get worked by the Residents. (By the way, it's part of the soundtrack of [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0304820/ Journey into the Mind of P.] Pynchon and the Residents can go well together.) Finally, forgive me, for the sake of completeness, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG1SVKipKZE original version.]

==Page 334==
'''Like a record on a turntable''' 
A metaphor which already appeared on page 262 ("as if some stereo needle had been lifted and set back down on some other sentimental oldie on the compilation LP of history.").

'''a reasonably dark street''' 
Evening, Tuesday, May 5, 1970.

==Page 339==
'''The bars hadn't closed yet''' 
Late night, Tuesday, May 5, 1970.

'''"'It said on the box it was a television set,' Denis explained."''' 
Bad pun secreted here, one of the most delicious in the book? Stoned Denis and Doc are watching "snow"--slang for heroin and also for a TV "picture" that's not a picture, just black and white fizzy dots (or, in this case, changing light patterns on the plastic wrapping the dope). Two related kinds of addiction and hallucination. An "educational channel" fer sure!

==Page 340==
'''Doc had been on the phone...around noon''' 
Midday Wednesday, May 6, 1970.

'''It was toward sunset''' 
Early evening, May 6, 1970.

==Page 341==
'''way, way too chirpy for this time of the morning''' 
The chirp seems to be a Fenway family characteristic, since Japonica is first introduced on page 170 with "a loud, violent chirp."

'''Hermosa . . . Lighthouse''' 
The Lighthouse is/was a famous jazz club, especially in the 1950s. The bassist Howard Rumsey led the house band [http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:jjfpxqygld6e~T1 The Lighthouse All-Stars].

'''Morgans from the showroom up in Westwood with hoods held down by leather straps''' 

 
'''Bud Shank''' 
Jazz musician, arranger, and composer, most well known as an alto sax player. Associated with the LA jazz scene since working with Stan Kenton in the 1950s. Also played flute and tenor sax. The famous alto flute solo on The Mamas and the Papas' 1965 hit "California Dreamin'" is his. Died April 2, 2009, several months before ''Inherent Vice'' was published, so this reference may be a last-minute tribute added by Pynchon. Shank's [http://www.budshankalto.com/ webpage] is maintained by the LA Jazz Institute in his honor.

'''"Drac's a part of the band"''' 
Reference to the 1962 hit single "Monster Mash," recorded originally by Bobby "Boris" Pickett (1938-2007) and the Cryptkickers, and covered by the Beach Boys (1964) and by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band on ''Tadpoles'' and in 1968 performed it on the British television series ''Do Not Adjust Your Set'' - ("Now everything's cool / Drac's a part of the band / and my monster mash is the hit of the land..."). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHSCObJvT9M&feature=related Have a listen on YouTube...]

'''Interstellar Overdrive''' 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_Overdrive Psychedelic rock classic.] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2wud_RqEaM Youtube.] Possible joke here on 'overdrive' since the distance from the intersection of Pier Avenue and the Pacific Coast Highway to LAX is around six miles. Sure, the song is long, about ten minutes, but Doc would have to be speeding like crazy, which isn't mentioned, to make that mileage with time still left on the song. At any rate, significant distance and/or time are casually covered and I'm going with mysterious power of interstellar overdrive giving them a helping hand. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvO1b3f4DGs "Ooo-ooo woo-''oo,'' woo-ooo."]

'''tempt the hand of fate''' 
A line from "Tears on My Pillow," included in the [http://inherent-vice.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Songs_mentioned_in_Inherent_Vice page] of songs mentioned in the book. The lyric, in context:

:"If we could start anew 
:I wouldn't hesitate 
:I'd gladly take you back 
:And tempt the hand of fate."

'''reading Herbert Marcuse and Chairman Mao''' 
In other words, learning how to be a leftist, neo-Marxist Communist.
:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong Mao Zedong], aka "Chairman Mao" led the Communist Party of China and was the leader of the People’s Republic of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. 
:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Marcuse Herbert Marcuse] was a philosopher, critical theorist, and member of the neo-Marxist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School Frankfurt School], which is known for its critique of capitalism. He was popular among student radicals in the 1960s.

''' an enlarged photo of a gigantic monster wave at Makaha last winter with a tiny but instantly recognizable Greg Noll cradled in it like a faithful worshiper in the fist of God.''' 
Apparently there is no photo of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Noll Greg Noll] successfully riding what was then, December 1969, considered to be the biggest wave ever paddled into. There is, however, a painting made after the event [http://www.signaturesgallery.com/uploads/gallery/large.Makaha_print_10x10.jpg here] that looks similar to the one Pynchon described, but probably, I couldn't verify a date, made years after 1970. Noll would have been so easily recognized because he rode with a wider than normal stance, and in black-and-white stripped shorts, as seen in this famous [http://oceanearth.com/oeblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/noll-at-pipeline.jpg surfing picture.] Oh, nice [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLkbkv8eiWk Youtube] clip about Noll riding Makaha that makes the event sound more than a little Pynchon-esque.

The same line - set in type the same way, with "Courage" italicized - appears at page 345 of "Against the Day." The reference is discussed in the [http://against-the-day.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=ATD_336-357#Page_345 Against the Day wiki.]

'''Later they went outside''' 
As noted [http://inherent-vice.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_16#Page_281 earlier],
Pynchon has inserted a day in between Monday, May 4, 1970 and Tuesday, May 5. This day runs from the middle of Chapter 16 to the the end of chapter 17, a total of 34 pages, making it the day with the most pages in the book.

The phrase used to introduce the inserted day - [http://inherent-vice.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_16#Page_281 "next day was as they say another day] - echoes a phrase used [http://inherent-vice.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_1#Page_13 earlier], thus connecting the day on which Doc learns the names of those responsible for the murder that occured on "another" day previously mentioned.

The events of this day are unusual, to say the least:

No reference to time of day is given. As a matter of fact, the one clock mentioned (in the District Attorney's office) is not working.

Doc is given most of the information needed to resolve the mysteries he is working on.

The women Doc encounters during this day act very unusually, in most cases bizarrely.

Finally, a dead President tries to give Doc some advice on how to proceed.
