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.

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.
