I came up with “Baseball Diamond” and “Purple Heart” and assumed the other two would end with shapes as well, but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what a “Country Square” was, or who “David Triangle” might be.

Matt, yours is a good solution, because you had to dig into some really obscure stuff.

I came up with:

Country Roads
Baseball Diamond
Purple Rain
David Lee Roth

What they have in common? Nothing.

I didn’t try very hard.

I was a little less creative and came up with:

Country Star
Baseball Allstar
Purple Star (Chinese Astrology)
David Starr (Nascar Driver)

I agree that the real answer is much better than the rhyming one. But once I started singing Purple Rain in my head, there was no chance of thinking of an alternative!

Easiest one yet, figured the solution before I even looked at the rules.

Congratulations, Monica! Doing the Brain Game each morning does pay off eventually, eh?

I got the same thing as Reese too except I used Name instead of Lane. However, I’m not sure I’d call it legit. The suits are much much better.

Oh wow, this is the first one I’ve actually gotten! Just had to share my excitement. :)

Heh heh… I knew there would be at least one other legit answer. More will probably crop up by day’s end, I bet.

I’m seconding Reese and Diana, same for me as well.
