Nike without question was the first to come to mind, but I’m loyal to New Balance. Wasn’t sure about the picking criteria there…

[QUOTE=What Exit?]  
Funny, I started to write a different song, I stoped, backspaced, and said to myself, everyone else is going to list “Satisfaction”.  
[/QUOTE]

Oh, I agree. I started to write “Paint it Black” and deleted it to put “Satisfaction.”

Even though “Sympathy For the Devil” is my favorite RS song.

I knew I’d lose points as I typed “Paint It Black,” but I didn’t care, it’s a million times better (to me).

Just reread the OP – I cut and pasted the “how-to” section, and should have read it more carefully. I say the theoretical maximum number of points is 500 – the actual theoretical maximum is 1,000 (10 questions x 100 points).

If whoever starts the next game wants to cut and paste – fix that, wouldja?
