Rock, paper scissors is serious stuff y'know. Even has it's place in the courts apparently...

Heh, I'd go for the Olympic version of Hide N Go Seek. Always loved that game since being 5'1" allows for plenty of unusual hiding places

I vote that judges, lawyers and juries decide court cases with RPS. it might actually work out just as well as the current system

I ended up watching that last night. Couldn't tear myself away, hilarious!. It was a very well done parody of those psueudo-sports shows, complete with over-enthusiastic announcers, cheesy graphics, back stories of some of the players ("I fell through the floor in my trailer twice...and my wife fell once" from a guy hoping to get the prize money for a new house), nicknames (Joe "King of the morning" Wood), insights into strategy, tips from the masters, history (used to be Rock-Rock-Rock, then Rock-Papyrus-Knife), variations on technique (throwing paper palms-up is known as "serving the supoena"
. If you didn't notice the jokes you'd never know it was a parody. |

More retardiness: Heard on the news this morning that some TV station will have a sort of a Big Brother reality show, with cats. They will be rated on things like "Best Sleeper," "Who plays with toys the best," etc. Winner of the competition will be hired to do taste-testing for some food company, and loosers will be adopted (probably after getting scratched). I wonder if these people have actually SEEN cats. That show will probably be extremely boring, with all the participants sleeping for %90 of the time.
