Guesses for new set:
71. definitely two
72. Let's say Dawn of Tony Orlando and Dawn fame, otherwise no idea
73. commands it to come forth, no idea
74. plantain
75. a float
76. set screw, which is wrong, but Bigdog is asleep; he would definitely know
77. Chicago, have been through there a bunch of times in my life, mostly after I moved out of Illinois 50 years ago this year.
78. olives
79. Almost said Squirt until I looked at the date, so ... then ... maybe Mello Yello ...
80. It is something like cabrage or cabering. We have seen it done somewhere in our travels of the past 25 years, possibly New Zealand, but that is an anglo-saxon word, not a Maori word so then we go British Isles, maybe Scotland, and then the root word would be saber - so sabrage or sabering. (falls down dead).
