Thoughts on Alphabet Soup

[sylvar]

Does anyone sell alphabet pasta in individual letters? (Let's say I wanted to buy a pound of Q, or a few ounces each of B, J, and S.)

Is alphabet soup available in different alphabets? Could I buy a pound of Greek or Russian or Cherokee letters? (I'm pretty sure Braille wouldn't work. Sorry, tregoweth, you needn't suggest that.)

Do different brands of alphabet pasta have different frequency distributions? Do some have a Scrabble-like distribution that's useful for spelling out words, while others have about as many Es as Qs?

And yes, I'm totally serious.

I actually read a good explanation for ridiculous celebrity requests in their concert/appearance contracts. The idea is to make sure that the promoters have read the whole thing and taken care of all the requirements, silly and necessary both. If they haven't bothered to supply Van Halen's bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed, who's to say that there will be enough electrical sockets and a strong enough stage to hold everything? Snopes.com verifies this.
