alphabetical arbitraries 

Assorted "it's da rules" bee-ess from da ol' 26.

Examples of "alphabetical arbitraries" include:
barbitrary: where ya gotta endure "pricky 'n' pokey" things, either real pointy-tipped objects or verbal "jabs".
carbitrary: where walking, biking, or horseback-riding are not options for getting from Point A to Point B. Could also mean how someone wif a sweet tooth views rich-ingredient goodies.
charbitrary: what meals are if da food is excessively heated prior to serving.
farbitrary: only lengthy distances permitted.
garbitrary: no "birthday suits" allowed.
jarbitrary: everything hasta be stored in wide-mouth containers.
marbitrary: a clean unblemished finish is a no-no, like at a demolition derby --- you only win if you get battered around.
scarbitrary: similar to above; you hafta show visible "school of hard knocks" signs to comply/qualify
sparbitrary: what it is for sailors on wind-powered ships --- you gotta climb da masts, mates --- it's part of da job.
starbitrary: where you hafta either have astronomy skills, or be a Hollywood icon.
warbitrary: what da military-gear-obsessed officials at Nova Robotics Corporation (think Skroeder and Dr. Warmonger --- I mean, Dr. Marner) seemed to think... unlike Newton Crosby, they thought dat "blowing stuff up" was da only path to peace.
