Bureaucracy 3: Like Pynchon, but More Paranoid
I'm just grasping, at this point. Got no prefrence, really.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I propose "Bureaucracy 3: Like X, Only Y".

I'm not a big fan of the Like..onlys, but Job or "like fun, only not" appeal. As do the lurkers.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Bureaucracy 3: Like X, Only Y".
Changing my vote.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Bureaucracy 3: Don't Worry, Nobody Can Spell It.
This had me laughing like a loon. I like this one.

A thought on the Job one
Bureaucracy 3: Like Job. No, really, just like Job.
Like Job, Only Moreso. ?
Also, thanks to tina for taking on the FAQ stuff, looks great.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

B 3: Dead Horses R Us
I think that was the one we liked a while back. Really? I'm pretty easy with the title for Bureaucrazy. Whichever one wins will be fine with me, though I like this one too:
Bureaucracy 3: Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Cabal.
So all the ones I like are not the Like X, Only Y pattern, but again, they're all pretty good.

Bureaucracy 3: Like Job. No, really, just like Job.
I like this, because it's consistent with the earlier titles, but breaks, the "Like X, Only Y" format, which helps set up different structures for the next title.

(I have Douglas Adams (who even wrote a text adventure called "Bureaucracy") in mind, but it works with John Adams, too.)
I loved this game. Never could get to the airport, except to drive by in the taxi.
(Totally off topic, was I the only one laughing my ass off when John Kerry got in such trouble for his "foreign leaders support me in email" espisode?)
That was my thought exactly. I couldn't explain to anybody why I found it so funny. I knew that people here would appreciate the irony.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Oh, that's hilarious.
I rather like the Yoko Factor one, but I do want to stick with the B'cy 3: Like X, Only Y pattern. I think they're amusing.
