Sorry - forgot that my daughter was going to be leaving early this morning to spend the week with her aunt. Didn’t get a chance to get on here before work… PP and KO have struck out, and etv has passed, but where’d EH and astorian disappear to? So I guess it’s time to reveal that I am Capt Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” **P** ierce, MD, from Richard Hooker’s novel _MASH_\*\*\*\*\* and its sequels - and also, of course, from the movie and the TV series based on it. - Alternatively titled _MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors_. ---

Thanks. I really didn’t expect to win that round. Presumably the movie and TV show are so much better known than the books that none of you thought of him as being a literary character… I am now **C**. ---

For some reason I couldn’t remember that Hawkeye’s last name was Pierce. I was actually going to guess Sherman Potter, but realized he wouldn’t be in the book. IQ1: Did you write _The Hunt for Red October_? IQ2: Are you known for your collaborations with director John Woo in films like the _The Killer_? IQ3: Are you the lead vocalist of rock bands Linkin Park and Dead by Sunrise? ---

[I forgot about the M\*A\*S\*H books, even though I’ve read three or four of them.] IQs: 1. Did you and your men kill all of a band of Texas Rangers… well, all but one? 2. Are you the inspiration for #1? 3. Did you play the surviving Texas Ranger? ---

Butch Cavendish (inspired by Butch Cassidy) led the Hole-In-The-Wall Gang that killed all the rangers except for Dan Reid, who then became the Lone Ranger (a fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and hearty… well, you know the rest).
