Charlie Gordon 

A "Charlie Gordon" is one of those packs of plastic silverware you get with the napkin, fork, knife, spoon, salt and pepper pack.

The reason behind this is that it must take the mind of Charlie Gordon to assemble these things.

Imagine a bunch of ARC-tards sitting around putting these together then you will get the picture!
