So, to clarify, Mr. B stood for "Mr. Bush", as in George Bush. He had that little incident at a Japanese state dinner that was caught on camera... you know, when he hurled into his counterpart's lap?

And before you start in on, "But MSG is a Chinese thing!" Wrong. It was developed and used FIRST in Japan. Still is in fact. So there you go.

This has been fun to observe; I haven't done any critical thinking except finding out the Mego's end-of-production year and the "New Hope" hint (very clever), but good work my friends.

Round 2 begins tomorrow.

If you're wondering why I didn't guess the year after I posted the hint, it's because I want my points to stay at 0.

Much like your score in Calvinball.

And yet I beat you all the time, vkimo.  Street rules.

So I'm not the only one who thinks that after all.

I found it interesting how nearly all of us picked up on the pop culture clues but not the Bush one. As that clue would have ended the game a round early.
