1. Probably the guy on the table...
I just hope I'm in one of the happy eopisodes and not one of the tear-jerkers.

2. Hawkeye
No question.

I got a lot of my style of humor from him, as he got his from Groucho Marx.

I'm also a perfectionist and a bit of an egomaniac, and I get pissed when things don't go my way. :blush:

8. I'm talking about the character, not the actress
Though Loretta Swit was mighty fine looking in her day.

18. I couldn't agree more. there is NO resemblance with the "new' notsohotlips
I can't stand that whole plastic surgery thing. It's just disgusting. Ms. Swit has made herself into a freak.

but the vintage above pic does remind one of SeattleGirl a bit, doesn't it?

12. Charles Emerson Winchester
I don't have his vocabulary or his blue-blood heritage but I can identify with his temperament. And it was usually Hawkeye, Trapper John, or BJ who got the babes anyway.

13. Colonel Flagg!!
Flagg: I've got to nip this guy in the bud. This sort of behavior is contagious, you know. One guy decides he's not gonna fight anymore, it catches on, and pretty soon you know what we've got?
B.J.: Peace?

Flagg: I've trained myself not to laugh or smile.
Potter: Really?
Flagg: Watched a hundred hours of The Three Stooges. Every time I felt like smiling, I jabbed myself in the stomach with a cattle prod.
Potter: That ought to do it.
The Abduction of Margaret Houlehan

Flagg: Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don't know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion.
Trapper: If you're not careful you're going to kill yourself someday.
Flagg: If I have to.
Trapper: Hey, that's the spirit!
Hawkeye: If we had more men like you, we'd have less men like you.

Flagg: ... it's the duty of every real American to be on the lookout for goldbricks, pinko's and fellow travelers. 'Course without the likes of Americans like you the jobs of Americans like me would be a lot more difficult. But don't get me wrong, Americans like me like difficult jobs. So don't get the idea you're doing the CIA any favors. We don't really need Americans like you, we don' need anybody.

Flagg: Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don't know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion.
The Abduction of Margaret Houlihan

Potter: Making yourself at home, Flagg?
Flagg: I have no home. I'm the wind.
Hawkeye to B.J.: I told you he was the wind. You said he was the stars!
B. J.: No, I said he was the moon!
The Abduction of Margaret Houlehan

Col.Flagg: Who is your second in command?
Trapper: Frank Burns, M.D.
Hawkeye: Maniac Depressive, it's an honorary title.

(Frank acts chummy with Colonel Flagg and puts his arm around him. Flagg doesn't look pleased)
Flagg: My father once put his arm around me like that. To this day he has to wear orthopedic shirts.

Hawkeye: Why stop there? Why don't we just drop an atomic bomb?
Flagg: Hey. Don't try to make friends with me.
The Abduction of Margaret Houlehan

Rosie is the lady who owns the bar across the street from the 4077. I would want to hook everyone up with cocktails or be like Radar since I like rescuing animals.:beer:

23. I'd be "First Season" Radar...
The one who had no good lines,
was invisible to the main characters,
and had quietly mailed an entire JEEP home to his mom
in 1500 small packages.
