quote:20. Where did Chris Farley's SNL character Matt Foley live? in van down by the river (WTG Juju, did you yell as you typed it, I did)
Mamie, no, I never watch the show, sometimes watch clips of especially funny stuff, so I may have seen Chris Farley shouting it in a clip, but mainly picked up on it from other people in real life shouting it at each other.
Guesses for new set:
21. Cats, have never seen it but know it is based on some T.S. Eliot writings.
22. Gillette
23. I'll go with huckleberry because blueberries are common. Huckleberries are rare because they grow at altitude. When we first moved to WA state and started going up Mt Baker, I was puzzled to see people going to a lot of trouble to forage 5-10 small blue berries from low growing foliage. But my curiosity finally got the better of me, and so one time I went to a lot of trouble to gather some too. OMG, it was a life-changing taste.
24. dolphin
25. Rome
26. Buenos Aires, have been there twice.
27. crochet
28. Starts with an S, but not Secretariat ... Seabiscuit!!!
29. Neptune
30. percussion
