Guess we'll see what happens:
1. They are all associated with Pigs. A sty is a place where pigs are kept. Animal Crossing is a video game series where pigs are one of the types of villagers that are part of the game. Warner Brothers Studios is responsible for making the series, Looney Tunes, of which Porky Pig is a member.
2. They are all associated with Keys. New Zealand’s current prime minister is named John Phillip Key. A piano is an instrument and the notes that you use to play a piano are called “piano keys.” And the Florida Limes reference is related to the Florida Keys are native to the production of the Key Lime, a type of fruit native to Southeast Asia that was brought to the Florida Keys for production, and still produced there, today, hence Florida Limes.
3. They are all associated with Ears. Peeled Potatoes are often seen as a remedy that are used to treat ear aches. Vincent Van Gogh is a painter that is famously known for cutting off one of his ears. And Robert Jenkins was a master’s mariner that is often associated with being the starting event in the War of Jenkins’ Ear when the Spanish Coast guarda-costa boarded his ship and cut off his ear when they were accused of smuggling.
4. They are all associated with someone or something named “Elizabeth”. In the British Royal Family, the leader of England and the matriarch of the Royal Family, is named Queen Elizabeth II. There is a boxer named Elizabeth Wilkinson, also known as Elizabeth Stokes, who was a bare-knuckle boxing champion known to be the First Female Boxer. And North Carolina has a city in Pasquotank County known as Elizabeth City, which has the nickname, “the Harbor of Hospitality.”
5. They are all associated with (Producing) Pearls. An oyster is a type of creature that produces pearl within its soft tissues. On Spongebob Squarepants, there is a character named Pearl, who is the daughter of Mr. Krabs. In the novel, The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne has a daughter in the novel, named Pearl. I say producing because all were created by living creatures, two through reproduction, and one from a defense mechanism against irritants. Hence, all have been produced, as well.
6. They are all associated with Lava. There is a type of Chocolate Cake known as a Chocolate Lava Cake, which combines the elements of a flourless chocolate cake and a soufflé to make a delicious treat. A volcano is a rupture in the crust of our planet, Earth, which is known for allowing lava to escape from the Earth’s Magma Chamber. A lamp is a lighting structure that is known for lighting up streets or homes. There is a particular type of lamp called a Lava Lamp that is known for using colored wax mixture, incandescent light bulbs, and a translucent liquid to make a unique type of light and lamp.
7. They are all associated with Steps. Alcoholics Anonymous is a program for individuals recovering from alcoholism and emphasizes a program called the 12 Steps to recover. Recipes are instructions for how you prepare food items and the numbers are usually labelled steps like, “Step One, preheat oven to 300 degrees, Step Two, put the flour in the bowl.” Rice Terraces are pieces of sloped plane that resemble steps.
8. They are all associated with Advertisements. Kanye West is a rapper and celebrity who also does business in the fashion industry. West has been responsible for creating several brands of clothing and shoes, creating advertisements for them, and has appeared in several commercials, including one for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, LTD. Commercial Breaks are breaks from broadcast television shows that are often used to present advertisements that have been created by certain production companies of food, clothing, movies, and other products. A news bulletin is a type of news source that is generally used to advertise upcoming events, notices to the public, and other sorts of news media. It is known for showing advertisements.
9. They are all associated with the actor, Jason Bateman. In regards to Cable News, ESPN is a cable news network, and in the film Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Jason Bateman played the character, Pepper Brooks, who was an ESPN reporter. Hence, in the film, Jason Bateman’s character worked for a Cable News Network. In regards to Silver, Jason Bateman was a character named “Derek” on the sitcom, Silver Spoons. In regards to a Fennec, a Fennec is a type of fox that is notable for its long ears. In the movie, Zootopia, Jason Bateman voices a red fox named Nick Wilde. In the movie, Nick’s partner in crime is named Finnick, a fennec fox, hence Jason Bateman worked closely with a fennec fox in the movie, Zootopia.
10. They are all associated with Wizards, particularly Leadership of Wizards. Oz is associated with the Land of Oz, a fictional land that was created by L. Frank Baum. In Oz, there is a character known as the Wizard of Oz, who is the leader of Oz in several of the novels. In the KKK, the term “Grand Wizard” is a term used to designate the leader in a particular chapter of the KKK (I know this because I watched many episodes of Gangland, in my time.) And Hogwarts is a fictional school which is associated with the Harry Potter series. It is often known for teaching and creating powerful Wizard leaders, like Harry Potter, and is run by wizards, whose leader is Albus Dumbledore for a majority of the series.
11. They are all associated with the shape of a Rectangle. On “my TV show”, which I’m assuming is meant to indicate the TV Show, Chopped, the logo of the show depicts the word, Chopped, with a meat cleaver through the middle of the word. A cleaver is a large knife that resembles a rectangular-bladed hatchet, hence the connection to Chopped. In regards to Teeth, the shape of many mammals teeth, particularly the front teeth, resemble that of the shape of a rectangle. In regards to a postage stamp, the majority of postage stamps are shaped like rectangles.
12. All are associated with the Navy. Tug of War is a sport game that involves two teams testing their strength by pulling on opposite ends of the rope. It is a known tradition that Navy frequently competes against the Army in the sport of Tug of War. Popeye is a fictional character that is known to be a sailor, and has been known in some stories to be enlisted in the Navy. Popeye’s stories do not always follow the same facts, but Popeye was a navy sailor in the cartoon, The Mighty Navy. Battleships are a type of ship that have been associated with many navy fleets and have been used in the Navy during times of war and for stations.
13. They are all associated with Press/Pressing. Press Cakes are solids that remain after pressing something to extract liquids. Common examples are: peanuts for peanut oil, grapes for wine, and apples for cider. Soda Pressing is a tune that was created by Sven Van Hees, a musician (Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQN45tJt5HE). A push is a physical force, generally with one’s hand, that is used to either move something away or force something open, which is associated with the concept of pressing, which is the application of said force which allows an individual to push.
14. They are all associated with Archives, or the concept of archiving important, relevant history. A map is a symbolic visual representation of an area. Maps are known for being important archives of historical boundaries and previous countries, which have helped historians learn about the world before modern times. Ancient Greece was an ancient civilization from the Archaic Period to the End of Antiquity that is known for having one of the best well-developed archives in the world from churches, kingdoms, writings, literature, art, philosophies, and music that have been preserved and kept for historical research. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a hall of fame and museum in Cleveland, Ohio that is known for archiving the history of some of the best-known and influential artists and artifacts from the rock and roll genre of music.
15. They are all things that are “Imitations”/Alterations of Real Things. Mock Turtle Soup is a type of English Soup that is a cheaper imitation of green turtle soup, in that it uses brains and organ meats, generally from a calf, to create the dish instead of real turtle meat. Plastic Surgery is a special type of operation that is known for altering parts of the human body. While some types of plastic surgery restore or reconstruct damaged body parts like burns, other types of surgery are cosmetic in nature, which are alterations made to the body in order to “imitate” that a person has these real body properties. For example, getting breast implants to make it seem like a person really has a C or D cup, when actually they were born a B cup. Getting butt implants to enhance a person’s buttock region to make it seem like they have a firm bottom when actually they didn’t in real life. The Onion is a news satire organization that publishes fictional/funny news articles. Some of them are known to cover current, real events, but they satire the tone and format of the story and sometimes add fictional elements. Hence, the Onion alters real stories and can be a cheap imitation of real news. This would be like the real article of “Donald Trump Wins Presidency” being taken by the Onion and making a new article which would say: “Bugs Bunny Wins Presidency”, pointing to an issue with the election ballots ringing in the name Bugs Bunny when somebody voted for Donald Trump. (I apologize in advance for the Trump Reference).
16. They are all things that are associated with Jockeys. A race track is a facility that is used for racing of cars, athletes, or animals. Race Tracks can be used for Horse Racing events like the Triple Crown. A jockey is a person who rides a horse during a horse race on the race track, hence the connection of a jockey with a race track. Jockeys are also a type of underwear which individuals can wear, and when people are done wearing underwear and wash them, they put them in an underwear drawer for safe keeping. In the video game series, Left 4 Dead 2, a jockey is a type of infected zombie that will jump onto players’ backs and steer them in a different direction.
17. They are all things that can be associated with Tea. Coffee Tea refers to herbal tea that is made from non-bean parts of the coffea plant. There is a type of tea that is known as Cool Mint Herbal Tea. And Green Tea is another type of Tea.
18. They are all things that can be associated with Fire. Chefs frequently work in the kitchen and are involved with cooking around a hot stove and oven, which can produce flames to cook certain types of dishes. There is a type of salamander called the Chinese Fire Belly Newt (a newt is a type of salamander) and the salamander is an animal often associated with myths and legends about fires. A sink is a type of water basin that is used to hold water. More modern day ceramic basin sinks are created using high fire or low fire clays in order to create the sink.
19. They are all things that have or can Fall Down/Collapse. Raindrops are associated with raining, which fall from the sky. Another note: when heavy rains fall in areas, they are known to collapse structures and roofs. The Berlin Wall was a barrier that divided East Germany and West Germany after World War II and during the Cold War. It was known for collapsing/falling down in 1989 when the Germans tore the wall down. A soufflé is a type of food that is notable for being able to rise, hence giving it a fluffy look. When a soufflé is bad, it will not rise, and is instead considered to have collapsed/fallen in on itself.
20. They are all living creatures (one is fictional, of course, but still living) that are associated with Singing. Jigglypuff is one of the original 151 Pokemon in the games and anime, Pokemon. It is associated with its particular skill of singing people to sleep. Madonna is famous singer that is often referred to as the Queen of Pop. A nightingale is a type of bird that is best known for its unique chirp that is often referred to as the “Song of the Nightingale.”
