Re: 2008 Retrospective

This matches my experience. It seems like a bigger stumbling block to try
and step outside a name than a title. It has been easier to get people to
buy into not worrying about the actual thing on the card and break it down
for the usual common words in a title than an entire name.

For the record, though, I would do "Charles De Gaulle" as

Round 1- First name like Dickens
                Not night but...
                Take out bladder (point to side and wince)

Round 2- Bladder (point to side and wince)

Round 3- Point to side and wince (and maybe say Ow if allowed)
