A road trip game invented one afternoon by three really bored guys from Providence.

1. Get to know your car stereo's seek button intimately, whether driving or riding along.

2. Every time you stop on a station, guess the song title and/or artist - one point for each. Hit seek again and repeat.

3. Lovely parting gifts may include discarded catsup packs, half of a cold fry or "shotgun" on next leg of trip.

4. Advanced Version, "Radio Roulette:" Player 1 declares how many notes he needs to name that tune. Player 2 hits seek and after, say, 3 notes, turns down volume. If Player 1 answers correctly, he may pass to the next contestant. If incorrect, Player must exit the vehicle and walk the next quarter mile. Please use caution. And sunblock.
