1. John Hughs Films
2. Star Trek
3. Dermatology
4. The IRS
5. Star Wars
6. Celebrity Chefs
7. Dog Breeds

10. 80s Pop Music
11. Paleontology
12. Egyptology
13. Comic Books
14. Italian Phrases (better start brushing up)

Carrie and Adam have been enjoying a long weekend out of town with friends and Adam managed to forget the Lawn Gnomes' list of topics at home. He managed to contact one of their team members and get an approximate list of topics to post. So, let's get to it since we're only two days out from our next game:

1. H.R. Pufnstuf
2. Astronomy
3. Fresno History
4. Superman
5. Classic Rock
6. Entymology

8. The Beatles
9. Physics
10. Typography
11. Lost (TV Show)
12. U.S. States

Study up and we'll see you this Wednesday. Also, Ed is doing the music this week and he updated our Facebook page with the hint that all the bands were local Fresno bands.
