    Okay, so I was bored last night plus fighting a terrible cold and what do I see on Fox Sports Net? The Rock Paper Scissors International Championship - also known as RPS International Championship!

    I think we all have played this game at one time in our lives but for them to have an international championship is incredible and at the same time laughable. I mean it is damn goofy but cool at the same time, if that makes any sense.

    Any way, didn't know if anyone else saw it, but here is the link:

    I hate people who cheat - when they're supposed to go on a count of 3 but holds out for an extra 1/2 second to gain an advantage.


    Cheaters suck. That's what I always say when my wife beats me and I have to take out the trash - again.

    So did you see any of this, RIET?

    I watched up until the finals but the guy that won it, "Everyman" Rammage cheated like crazy to beat this dude named "Bloody Knuckles", lol.

    He kept messing up the count but you can tell he was doing it on purpose. I think after doing that 4 times, they finally gave his opponent aka Bloody a point.

    What's the point of even using your hands. Clearly, cheating is being encouraged, otherwise they would just say to write down what you're going to do, then they could just use the hand thing for show - if you do something other than what you wrote down you lose the point or lose the game or something.

    From the official website:

    For those new to the game, the only acceptable throws are Rock, Paper and Scissors. Any use of Dynamite, Bird, Well, Spock, Water, Match, Fire, God, Lightning, Bomb, Texas Longhorn, or other non-sanctioned throws, will result in automatic disqualification.

    Awesome! God? Texas Longhorn? Are you kidding me? This is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen.

    Nerds rule.

    I have wondered this as well as God, Texas Longhorn, etc. I remember playing with dynamite. Scissors beat it because it cut the fuse, but it beat both rock and paper (for obvious reasons).

    Poker is the next sport. ESPN says so...

    My child:"Why can't I go to College?"

    Daddy:"Because I'm a bad athelete!!!"

    "Rock paper scissors match."

    "Alright! Rock beats paper!"

    "I thought paper covered rock."

    "Nah, rock flies right through paper."

    "Well, what beats rock?"

    "Nothing beats rock."

    Man, I remember seeing last year's champion on Conan O'Brien one night. It was so damn funny cuz the guy was cocky as ****, Conan even got a little aggitated. He was almost in character like a wrestler. Dude was from Canada, IIRC.

    Yea that was him although the guy who won it this year, Lee "Everyman" Rammage (or is it Ramage?), I think, is even cockier.

    But yea that was one of the best reasons for watching it - just to see how the contestants were acting, lol.

    Every important decision at my house is decided by Rock Paper Scissors.
