Whether they are 'bogus' or not, my goal is to replicate what blockchain.info reports for these.  For most of these blockchain.info does report some valid 'address' for each of these scripts.  Essentially I use 'blockchain.info' to debug me own code, so matching their 'interpretation' of the output script signatures is really what I'm trying to do.

Maybe someone who works at blcockchain.info can explain how they interpret all of these rather bizarrely formed script signatures?

This also reminds why I'm not that thrilled with the whole scripting mechanism of bitcoin.  Some clear standards on format and layout of input and output data would make things a lot cleaner.  Now, with 20/20 hindsight, I wish that bitcoin was completely and utterly hard coded, no scripts all, and any 'experimental' programmable crap was reserved for side chains.
