Guesses for new set:
31. Betty Boop, who, I think is Mameblanche's favorite cartoon character.
32. shuffleboard
33. Denver
34. E.T. - I was just thinking of E.T. tonight for some reason and even thinking about what year it was, and I came up with 1982. I always get realllly angry when I think about the injustice of E.T. being such a superb movie, and Chariots of Fire won the Academy Award for best picture. Chariots of Fire was a boring, mediocre movie, while E.T. was pure genius. Don't even get me started.
35. 1900
36. Maine
37. Austria
38. Well, a squab when you cook them ...
39. Count Dracula
40. Silly Putty
