  1. I went with a friend to a new restaurant, decked out in 80's style, covered in pictures and screen shots from various 80's sit coms. It was pretty wild looking, neon colors against bright white tile floors. I took a look at the menu and saw that all of the food was named after the same characters, celebrities and shows I grew up with as a kid.

    "And that?" I asked, pointing again.

    "The MacGyver. It's whatever the cook can find in the kitchen all put together to look like a homemade bomb, served with M*A*S*H potatoes."

    "Oh, THAT looks pretty good," I said, pointing again.

    "That's the Dukes of Hazzard. A big slab of Boss Hogg Hamm, Roscoe P. Coleslaw, and we can throw in a jar of Uncle Jesse's Moonshine for five bucks more."

    Just then, a tubby, naked man with orange goo dripping from the top of his head ran over and sat next to a surprised customer.

    "Holy hell!" I said.

    "Don't worry," said the waiter. "That's just the..."
