The "Waiting for Gobot" Game Thread

Setting: A suburban front lawn, a lone tree still waking up from the winter.
In the background, neighbor is having a yard sale with the usual garage cruft:
tattered clothes, old semi-functional tools, a dubious looking bike or two, fishing poles, tackle boxes, you know the like. Only thing eye catching is a bin of "vintage" 80's toys, dolls ("action" figures) and such.
An ol' fart comes out and hangs a placard on the tree reading:

an occasional passer-by looks more closely at it, and as the time approaches, a few more gather by the tree and start to chat, one with an ominous looking "boom" box, clearly set to WCCO...
and this discussion ensues...
