	Why did the Hiroshima clue bother me? Too soon? Fun quiz otherwise...

	I think Chocolate Milky Cabrera might have worked better there.

	I'll echo what rockgolf said in the archived comments; good quiz, but comes up just a bit short. I could see someone making a before and after quiz and thinking to themselves "darn, fu manchu and chewing are so close". I can't see anyone making a before and after quiz and thinking "darn beef and beast are so close". A few answers are on the second level of not quite 'not quite before and after'.

	This made no sense at all to me. A pity that Rockgolf's excellent advice wasn't heeded.

	The Hiroshima clue is not in bad taste/offensive. It's more offensive to think that we should avoid mentioning a place because something terrible happened 66 years ago. If that's how it works, next time I hear someone say "New York City" to me I'm going to punch their face.

	It was admittedly fun typing 'Sickle Me Elmo'.

	Ben Roethlisberger King should be accepted for the Steel town clue.

	Funny how there's a debate about whether or not the inclusion of 'Hiroshima,' a city, is offensive, but no debate over whether 'Mein Kampf,' a work of inflammatory racist propaganda, is.

	Murse? What the heck is murse?

	Fidelio:	Jul 13th, 2011 at 21:36 GMT		5 points
	"Chocolate Milkton Bradley" really ought to be accepted as an answer. (Although I'd recommend not including that one at all - "milk" and "Milton" have different vowel sounds, and humor-wise, it doesn't even come near the brilliance of "Sickle Me Elmo.")

	Jamessir:	Jul 13th, 2011 at 21:54 GMT		17 points
	@doctorstan They actually changed the clue from "A Japanese city that was the bomb in the mid 1940's." to "Japanese city bombed in 1945." I think it was a good change.

	Was I confused on how this was supposed to work? I thought you could type in either the first clue OR the second clue in full, but I tried things like "man purse of happiness" and "chocolate milk bradley" and they weren't accepted. According to the example, shouldn't those answers have been just as valid as "man pursuit of happiness" or "chocolate milton bradley"?

	@Fidelio - how do 'milk' and 'Milton' have different vowel sounds? I'm curious where you're from - I'm Canadian and can't imagine how they don't sound identical. I thought the quiz was fun. My only annoyance was the Paper Towel of Babel, since I kept putting Bounty Paper Towel etc.

	I liked this quiz... but I personally think Guitar Hiroshima (if you go by sound) and Chow Mein Kampf, (if you look at it visually) do not belong because they are perfectly legitimate before and afters.

	Kept trying Navajotorius... I loved the game! In my scrambled brain these all came out quicker than when I try actual before and after quizzes.

	@gstntb26 - I'm from New Zealand, but I'm married to a good midwestern girl whose family all pronounce milk "melk". It's the strangest thing, but it's very common in the midwestern US. And just this morning, I noticed that my daughter says it the same way. I wonder if this was what Fidelio meant...

	Didn't do very good, but that was fun! "Murse" - never heard of it, far as I know.

	rmc512:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 01:42 GMT		0 points
	should allow & instead of requiring "and"

	How is Chow Mein Kampf an almost before and after? It is an actual one, unless you want to get picky about the pronunciation of the words.

	I tried 'flavoured milton bradley'. Don't you have different flavours in the states?
