The winner gets nos. 1-2 and 4-23. But for summarizing 99% of this newsgroup in 27 lines, YOU get no. 3, effective yesterday! Yes, folks, I know a superior judge of negative bizarreness when I see one. With deepest admiration, I hereby transfer the power to decide the results of this contest to... ADOLT! Send your nominations for Least Bizarre Post of September to him/her. J.A. Faceless Forces, Inc. PS -- The Canadian-bacon-&-pineapple-pizza entry is far ahead of the pack as of 3AM, Tuesday, September 3, 1985. But it's anybody's guess which post will end up crossposted to EVERY NET.GROUP! Keep that e-mail coming in -- and don't forget, it goes to bobhic@aluxe.UUCP.
