The Rules --- Please Read!
1. A player may answer one question per update. If a player correctly answers more than one, he or she will be credited with the lowest-point question correctly answered (and any other answers will be up for grabs). NEW TWIST – I will occasionally include a bonus question just for fun. You can answer this along with your main answer.
2. If two or more people correctly answer a question and their posts have the exact same timestamp, they'll both get full credit for it.
3. An edit time counts as the time an answer was posted, so be sure to be careful when editing a post.
4. I screw up the scores sometimes, so just tell me if I didn't award you points when I should have (or otherwise messed up), and I'll fix it ASAP. And I don't have any set time when I update this; I just do it whenever I have time to.
5. Have fun. =)

2 = Fat Tony, Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, Mr. Muntz
...and before I forget...
Thanks for cranking this thing up again, CP! After the first two round you'll have large shoes to fill, however...but I'm sure you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.
I like the new Bonus Question twist! (The BQ should always be at least twice as difficult as the highest-point regular question, IMO.) That's a useful enhancement! If nothing else, the BQ gives folks who miss an update or two a chance to catch up.
Clarification: Can one JUST answer the BQ or must one ALSO answer a regular question...correctly?
(I miss Phil Hartman & feel that the ongoing quality of Simpsons episodes was somehow significantly impaired following his demise. Seriously, I've been a Simpsons fan since Day 1. I've aged right along with the Simpsons franchise, and some of my tastes have changed, of course...but I have to think back quite a ways to remember when watching every new episode was a MUST DO on Sunday nights. YMMV but I just don't find Homer's zany antics to be quite so amusing anymore. Maybe his reactions have just become too predictable?)
You can answer a regular and bonus quesiton, or just one or the other. The Bonus Question is always going to be something personal about me that no one here should be able to answer so I'm mostly doing it to see the interesting guesses.
I laughed that you went with such obscure characters in Mr. Muntz and Fat Tony over Lyle Lanley. And yes I miss Phil a lot. I've found if you ever need a pick-me-up, watch season 4 of the Simpsons. No matter how many times you've seen the episodes you will still laugh loud and hard.
#3 David Hyde Pierce, 1998
The humor site I ran was called Another Dark Hole. It contained articles by some friends and myself, as well as a sentient, belligerent Rubik’s Cube name The Rubicon. And our tag line was “Show us your Oh face.”

Hey, Doober!
Good call on that Chateau! I have quite a few castle desktops, including that one...but the picture provided was cropped and didn't show the "bridge part." Kudos!
Argh! I had Chambord stuck in my head, even though I knew that wasn't it. The Ch at the start may have been throwing me off. I never would have guessed this one without seeing the bridge/river section.
I guess my mutant power is noticing details. Pretty much worthless. I would be the first to die in a mutant fight.
But noticing details can save your life! For example, the mold growing inside the jar of marina sauce in my fridge.
True

23 = Field Communications E-Frame (Exo-Squad) ?
I was thinking Inhumanoids or Robotech...I was preoccupied with grad school in those days, but think I used to own some of these E-Frames. Too bad I sold them all. They were kinda cool...I think I had this green one, too!
Even with your hint, I'm not sure I can recall the pilot's name, if that's required...sorry...something European sounding...I wanna say Alex D'Leon?
Damn your eyes, Jon!
I've been agonizing over this for weeks! I actually thought this was either a Madball or some Garbage Pail thingy...then I started thinking it was one of those Sectaur puppets. Steee-rike three!
Most of the questions in this round seem AFTER my time.

Alec Deleon. Good job Rann. I've been researching this for this past 2 hours in between customers and just now figured it out.
#32 Maybe Anti-Venom. But something is just not right about that.
The irritating thing is that I recognize BOTH 31 & 32 as pictures I've seen recently! I just don't remember where...
