Announcing the California Dreaming Constest!
Monz heads to the CSC, only to find throngs of jurors swarming the place, forcing him to grab a premade "California Turkey Sandwich" (which has nothing California-y about it save a "weird bun").
But it got us dreaming about driving to California back in the good old days, cruising down Route 66, and seeing Burma-Shave signs the whole route! Students of history may recall in the pioneering days of computer communications, the Editor Emiritus used to post Burma-Shave messages on a certain 4-telephone line Chicago BBS. Back then the closest thing to a world wide web was Channel One, Exec PC, Rusty 'n Edie's for pinups and Monz and the EE goofing on Saudi Arabia (yeah Al Queda, that was us, come and get us!)
In that spirit we anounce the "MYL-Burma Shave Sign" contest. The winner with the wittiest Monz-lunch related Burma-Shave signs wins a classic rock album on CD from the Monz' own collection, perfect for a road trip!
To get you started, here are a couple of samples:
THE QUEEN
OF HEARTS
NOW LOVES THE KNAVE
THE KING
RAN OUT OF
BURMA-SHAVE
GRANPA KNOWS
IT AIN'T TOO LATE
HE'S GONE
TO GIT
SOME WIDDER BAIT
BURMA-SHAVE
THE CANNIBALS
TOOK JUST ONE VIEW
AND SAID
HE LOOKS TOO NICE
TO STEW
BURMA-SHAVE

Reuben Sandwich! The editors deleted an apparent blogspam for My Reuben Space, a Reuben Sandwich fansite. But upon further investigation, we're giving it the benefit of the doubt. Sorry Reuben!

Lets paint the streets
with burma-shave matter
i'm hungry, when's lunch
