I just discovered this page and note that two items which I think I remember correctly do not appear. I will go back and check my notes, but in the meantime here's what I think I remember, in case anybody else has any thoughts.

Is not "Jiro Tanaka" (Japanese style "Tanaka Jiro") a collective pseudonymn for "the average Japanese person?"

Is not "Juan Pueblo" the c.p. for the average Argentine? Or is it Spaniard?

Oh, and "Marvin the ARVN" was used by some US troops in Viet Nam to refer to the average soldier of the Army of the Republic of Viet Nam.--That I'm sure of, but I'll wait and confirm (or not) the others before I add them all at once.

Surely "Kilroy" rates inclusion. After all, he was "here."
