I recognize the face, and have a vague idea who it is, but searching the net ( because my memory is shot) would require a great deal more effort that I an capable of at the moment :)

The answer is Captain George Mainwaring (pronounced Mannering) from the British comedy series Dad's Army. Kids of my generation grew up watching this show. I loved it and my daughter bought me every episode on DVD last Christmas so I can watch it all over again. :D

The correct entries were:

1. Lee-online
2. cjsimoh
3. zedteamk2
4. Greasemonkey
5. Gunowner99
6. No_0ne
7. Matt72601
8. russianki

It seems everyone knew how to pronounce it correctly.

I have numbered 8 rounds of ammo. my wife will now draw two of them from a hat.

And the winners are!

First place, bullet number 1; Lee-online!

Second place, bullet number 7; Matt72601!

Both knew the pronunciation correct so both will get a bonus pin.

Lee, I'll need a physical address and some kind of proof you are over 18.

Matt, I'll need an address to mail your pins to.

Congratulations to both of you!
