20" bonus for the winner, 12" for second and 8" for third. That's for all stages except the time trials.

But... it's 21 pages long...
Ummm... Which commercial (no I'm not watching, but the Glen Glen Glen one with the band in his apartment is the music to 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor, with different words... I hate that song. I hate that band.)
I think they have a Rob Rob Rob one too... The real song doesn't have lyrics there, just a keyboard riff. Same bad song, same bad band.
Just did a search on the Hank one - that's a different song, thankfully... I haven't seen that commercial, but they're using 'Rock and Roll Part Two' by Gary Glitter. Otherwise known as 'The Hey Song' because that's pretty much all the lyrics there are. You'll hear it at just about any NBA game you go to... And many other sports venues too.
Did I mention I hate that other song by that bad 80s glam band?
I was following it online, so I can't help you out. I can say that I kind of dig the Nike commercial with Lance's press conference announcing he has cancer...
Oops, I was away from my computer much of the day, but thanks for the ping! I did get to watch some of it, that area is so beautiful. Another great day.
