Picnic of the Bizarre!

As Duran Duran would say,
  "Would someone please explain, the reason for this strange behaviour...."

 Picnic of the Bizarre!   aka the Hell ? ! ?


Plastic sushi grass

Why is it there? Is this some tradition I have just never heard about?

Theme song from "Regis & Kathie Lee"

Just a coincidence that it is so similar to the "Nytol" brand sleeping pills jingle? I don't think so....

Words between the grooves and the label on LPs

What did they mean, who put them there and what are they doing now that CDs are the music format of choice?

Java chip-set?

I thought Sun's idea was for a virtual machine, now they want us to buy their chips?

Those imaginarycans and bottles on TV

Companies spend millions to promote their labels. Are we not supposed to recognize what brand they are supposed to be?

Kool-Aid® Punch Man

Once again millions spent on ads to make us believe in a giant talking pitcher, and then he disappears- except for the packages. Too many young children trying to smash through walls?

Rats & Squirrels

These are basically the same animal, so why do people that think squirrels are so cute turn up their noses at rats? Come on and be honest- it's the tail thing, right?

Beverly Hills, 90210

Every week I end up watching this, and every week after it's over I ask myself: Why do I keep watching this? (Note to WB: Thanks for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," now I have a reason to avoid 'Melrose Place.'

Unintelligable vanity plates

OK- maybe the ones with a license plate frame to explain it are not as bad, but what are we supposed to do- follow them so we can ask? The people who check to make sure you say nothing dirty should also be checking for something that makes sense to the average motorist.

Envelopes that say, "place stamp here"

Hello? Do I look like this is the first letter I have ever mailed? Don't they teach this in school any more? And wouldn't that one person in a million that didn't know where to put the stamp get the idea if all their letters came back? I'm sure the folks at the Post Office would gladly show you where to put your stamps....

Variety of Scantron® forms

I give up- other than perhaps a short form for quizes a longer form for tests and one that leaves space for an essay or two, why does there have to be that many different forms? This is not a multiple choice quiz....
