En vrac

(un) bric-à-brac (pronounced breek-a-brak)= a disorganized set of things, a mess
(une) rubrique (ru - breek) = a (newspaper/magazine) section

Rubrique-à-brac is not only a fantastic pun, it is also the title of a bande dessinée (comic) series by Gotlib, first published in the weekly comic magazine from the late 70's "Pilote". As the title implies, subjects range from detective stories to wildlife reports, fairy tales and unlikely explanations as to how Isaac Newton formulated his gravitational law. Deliciously insane.

English readers, here is an article on Gotlib.
