I realized there were two many names that were halves of duos, and finally realized it came down to first and second billing. Didn’t make the cartoon rodent connection, though.

I fell for the pants red herring. Then, since I’d never heard of the color “FAWN,” I tried to put AQUA in with the others, thinking they was going for pastels or light colors. Rough one. Never did figure out purple either.

It’s Monday again. This was another intimidating looking one at first. I really thought I was going to get a reverse rainbow, but guessed wrong at the end.

So I totally got the categories wrong but got the answers right anyway for blue and green.

For blue I was thinking of children’s games and for green things you might find at a children’s party.

2152

I had exactly the same category guesses. Which means they must be better ideas than the real ones.

2153

Spent a lot of time looking for things Advertised in Comic Books because I saw two.

Had to google “Pick up sticks” and “Lite Brite” because I didn’t grow up in the US.

Tuesday’s One false idea(photography media) but otherwise OK.

Lite Brite, sure, but we played “pick up sticks” here in South Africa. Hell, when I was a kid we played it with recycled ice lolly sticks.

Probably says something about the degenerate life I’ve lived that blue was obvious and purple was remainders.
