Yeah but this is the first time that ever happened. Need to be carful next time.

Threads I am watching I normally leave open so I can go back there and post quicker without losing what I was doing.

Woah, you're a pro!

[Riot]Here in America we play America-Iraq-anyother country. America beats Iraq, America beats Iran, America beats Canada, America beats France, America beats Germany, America beats Russia, America beats China, America beats Korea, America beats Spain, America beats Italy, America beats England, etc...[/Riot]

take no offense

well here in the Philippines its called "BATO, GUNTING, PAPEL" (rock, scissor, paper)

it sounds good when you say it fast.

bato beats gunting
gunting beats papel
papel beats bato

When Jack Bauer plays Rock, Paper, Scissors, he uses the rock to smash a terrorists head, the paper to silent his screamings and the scissors to poke his testicles.

in thai we call it

Yakov Smirnoff: In communist Russia, rock beats you!

Anyway...

Dynamite/Water/Electricity was the one I came across the most. Dynamite beat Electricity (somehow), Water beat Dynamite and Electricity beat Water. Got even more confusing when it was incorporated into RPS so there were six options.

These debates about childhood games are fun. My suggestion for the next one: "Rules of Schoolyard Handball: Is 'Rolls' Out?"

rolls are out Andrew....if it rolls then it's essentially bouncing continuously....it's only allowed to bounce once on either side of the line (or crack in the concrete to be more accurate)....

Lakers, Spurs, Pistons.

Just look at your Playoff matchups for the last 3 years...

My favorite one though is the "Side-Blotched Lizard." The males have three throat colors, orange, blue and yellow.

Orange are big and strong, and don't form any pair bonds. They fight each other and then the winners have sex. They're big enough to run off the blue.

Blue are middle-sized, and form strong pair bonds, thus being able to identify yellow-throated "drag queens" and beat the piss-out-of-them and run them off.

Yellow are very little, but are the same size as females and can run unidentified amongst the orange-ones and steal their women while they're fighting.

Cachipun conchetumare...

But see, I reckon it's a rule that's open to negotiation. There were usually two different variations back in Year 7/8: either it was a pick-up situation no matter what or it was out if it passed through your square and went immediately out of bounds. The former was usually in place for the big, elimination games.

you guys should try this some time, read it on a site. Next timeyou play someone rock-paper-scissors, and the beat you with paper to your rock, punch them in the face and say "oh sorry, i thought paper would protect you, bitch."

Rocks don't breathe.

Duh.

uhh... yeh they do

how do you think they grow if they cant breathe? idiot...

Um... rocks grow?

Edit: there are certain rocks that grow, here's how they do it:

Yes, some rocks grow and caves are one of the few places you can see it happen. Of course, rocks do not grow like you do and they get bigger over thousands of years. You could watch all day and not see any growth.

The rocks that grow in the cave are made by dripping water. This dripping water started out as rain that fell on the surface. Imagine that the limestone layers above the cave are a like giant sponge that soaks up water from rain and melting snow. As the water goes through holes and cracks in the rock it slowly dissolves a mineral out of the limestone called CALCIUM CARBONATE. If you have ever made lemonade you have seen how water can dissolve sugar. Well over time water can dissolve away rocks and minerals too. Calcium Carbonate is a very common mineral on earth because it is found in so many things like sea shells, limestone, the growing cave rocks and even your bones and teeth. Well, this Calcium Carbonate stays in the water until the water drips into the cave. At that point any place where water drips a tiny amount of Calcium Carbonate comes out of the water and crystallizes into a rock called CALCITE. As more water drips in the cave, more Calcite is formed and so new rocks start and the older ones keep growing. These growing cave rocks are often called CAVE DEPOSITES because they are made of layer apon layer of Calcite that the water deposited.

STALACTITES are a Cave Deposite that grow down from the ceilings of caves and STALAGMITES are Deposites that grow up from cave floors. The two depostites sound so much alike it is easy to confuse them so just remember this, "Stalactites have to hang on 'tite' or they would fall from the roof and Stalagmites 'mite' reach the roof if they keep growing". If these two cave deposites grow together they will form one formation called a COLUMN. Another common cave formation is called a DRAPERY. Draperies are deposites that grown down cave walls and so they look like the draperies you might have in your home.

Many people who visit caves are surprised by all the different colors in the cave deposites. All of these colors are from IRON and other CHEMICALS FROM THE SOIL. Water can dissolve these out too and it also mixes them with the white or clear Calcite to create many beautiful colors.

Absolutely nothing to do with breathing. Quick, my rock needs CPR! Someone save him!!

That's a fair point. Rock fights were usually much more violent than paper fights.

I'm not going to even try thinking about who would win between paper and electricity.

Electricity would obviously. It'd set the paper on fire. What about rock and water? If we go by Pokemon's system, water would 'kill' rock. Scissor's would be Dynamite, cause it could cut off the fuse thingy. Water would beat scissor's because it would get them all rusty.

What would paper beat in the electricity/water/dynamite version?

I can't believe I'm discussing something so mundane.

Rock would beat everything, as it is apparentely a living, breathing, growing object.

Oh, man, I just remembered this. I can't find the pic, but there's a Far Side comic with three cavemen playing RPS. They're all throwing rock and the one guy is saying 'Dang, tied again.' The caption at the bottom reads 'Before paper and scissors were invented.' It's one of my favourites.

What would paper beat in the electricity/water/dynamite version?

I'll say it beats electricity because it's not a conductor.

Oh come on, it's fun and you know it.

we call it roshambo in ultimate.

maybe because it blows the shit out of the wires!

i heard one talk once
