[It's my Birthday] Give me 40 darkly surreal (or just plain weird) settings for my 'Big Four Oh'

Another old one was "Lost in Suburbia". You went into a suburb you've never been to--maybe a birthday party, or a lawnmower for sale. You got lost. REally lost. Soon the cellphones stopped working. the GPS got lost. You and your band have been walking ever since. Breaking into 1950's houses, stealing food and supplies, finding notes from other older wanderers. Sometimes getting attacked by folks who went mad. The one thing everyone agrees on is that staying in one spot for too long is a bad idea, and if you smell cleaning agent? Run.

While I couldn't see this sustaining a long term campaign I think it would be a fantastic basis for a one-shot or even a short (5-6 session) campaign. It immediately made me think of my favourite episode of Eerie Indiana, "The Lost Hour", for some reason.
