The one I messes around and changed a couple times last night was groundhog day. I figured February, so went with President's day, then Valentine's day and finally counted out 45 days on a calendar, DUH! The tradition exists because Feb. 2 is the middle day of winter!! And there was also emphasis on the American part of it.
Guesses for new set:
41. Alka Seltzer
42. the head
43. beaver
44. gauntlet
45. 1 - "Hoist up the John B sail" - singular, not plural
46. Lion King
47. Apollo 7
48. Glenn Close, says Bigdog
49. France, says Bigdog
50. I remember it, and thought it was hilarious, for several reasons, and I think it was a rabbit!!
