Mornington Crescent (MC) is a game popularized by the early 1970's BBC television show "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue". It involves moving from stop to stop along the London Underground with a goal of reaching the Mornington Crescent tube stop. There are an endless myriad of rules, regulations, and acceptable moves. To make a compendium would be impossible, instead the rules are updated yearly (and sometimes more often should the need arrive) by scholars of the game at MC Conventions. Like the British Constitution rulebooks are illusory and their use is looked down upon by veteran players.

*'''Arsenal'''- A seemingly ill-designed move created by an unknown pot-smoking Galesburg caller, he holed himself up in Arsenal with a terrorist militia, thereby blocking off the entire Piccadilly (blue) Line for turns.  An excellent annoyance tactic, the move turned out to be fairly suicidal, as the token strain proves too much.  This fact aside, the move is often done as a sort of toast to our garage-smoking friend.  This tactic is commonly called "Arseholing oneself".
