Here are the options, minus one correct guess (Bravo, Paul B.). For future reference, the initials are usually of an organization, society or group of some sort (which all of the guesses this round were, but I just wanted to clarify). Also, ONE guess only, please.

The "acronym" was: I. A. S. C. B.

A. International Association of Scrabble Control Boards

B. International Association of Sand Castle Builders

C. International Association of School and College Burnouts

D. Irregular Assemblage of Sutlers, Colporteurs & Bottlers

E. International Association of Serrated Cardboard Boxmakers

F. Imperial Arcturan Sybaritic Control Board

G. International Association of Societies for Commissioning Boards

H. International Association of Sugarmongers, Confectioners & Bakers

Good luck to all. Anyone can vote. Polls close at 8:00 am Eastern Daylight Time, Wednesday June 6.

H has to be the intelligent vote, I suppose, so I'll go for it.

But, in passing, I have to note that "D" has a ring of authenticity about it which is appealing.
Of course, in the ideal world either "B" or "F" should be the answer

I'll guess H.

I like B. Even if that isn't the original IASCB, I like B.

I'll plump for B. If it's not the answer, who's up for founding it?

...hmmm... G just looks too too official.

Based on my assumption that the most boring definition is probably the correct one, I also choose G.

By the way, it's nice to have you back nikeblack. It got lonely being the only Pennsylvanian aBoard.
