Recall the ten Major-System pegs for 90–99 — the /p/–/b/ decade. Can you name all ten in order and picture a story that links them?
Every 90s peg starts with the /p/ or /b/ sound (9); the second sound is the unit digit (0–9), so 90 = b·s = bus, 91 = b·t = bat, and so on.
90 bus · 91 bat · 92 pawn · 93 beam · 94 bear · 95 bell · 96 beach · 97 book · 98 beef · 99 pipe
Example story (make your own if this one doesn't stick): A red bus clips a flying bat, which knocks a chess pawn onto a wooden beam. A bear rings a bell on the sunny beach, reading a book while grilling beef over a smoking pipe.
