            That was pretty easy, but fun. I'm 37 and got all but the Lone Ranger one. My son did a school project a couple of years ago where he had to interview their grandparents or someone from that generation. It always find in interesting to compare/contrast differences in vocabulary, merchandise and lifestyle across generations

                I missed the first part of #10 and #13 and I'm pretty sure all of those happened before I was born.

                        Long Ranger was not a very responsible fellow was he? Leaving behind a silver bullet. Not very thrifty either.

                        36 and I missed about 1/3 of them.
