61. Hey, that's me! I know the real answer is d. But it could be, and has been, three ladies in hoop skirts.

62. b. Much to Miss Piggy's relief until Gonzo tells her there is also bacon in it.

63. b. One of our local radio talk show hosts reads that on his program every year. In fact, I just heard it. Did you ever see the Sesame Street special where Ernie trades in his rubber duckie for a box for Bert's paper clip collection and Bert trades in his paper clip collection for a soap dish for Ernie's rubber duckie?

64. This the only guess I have to make this round. Since I'm kind of tired and loopy right now, I'm going with "a." based on the "logic" that the name Clement Moore reminds me of the name Samuel Clemens. And of course it's not d. And I can't imagine it being c.
