Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, November 19, 2009

A Michigan man has won the world Rock Paper Scissors championship in Toronto. Tim Conrad clinched the title after five hours of play and nine matches at the Steam Whistle Brewery on Saturday night. Facing off against his best friend in the first all-American final in championship history, Conrad beat Tom Butkin with paper covering rock. Organizers say Conrad dressed as Captain America during the competition to honor his home country. Conrad takes home $7,000 in prize money. The championship was organized by the World RPS Society.

Who the hell ever thought up a Rock Paper Scissors championship?

Probably not the guy who thought up Tamp On Pipe Knife.

Seven grand for winning Rock-Paper-Scissors??

America fucking rules.

Exactly how bored do ya gotta be in order to even contemplate entering a World Rock Paper Scissors competition?

Spud's guess is "just this side of suicidal"

Be Well.

Spud yer just jealous of us Americans with our mad RPS skills.

Mad jealous it's true!

Damn, Spud thought he was hiding it so well too!

:>P

Be Well.

Just wait, some guy is going to invent SuperPaper that resists scissors and ruin the sport for everybody.

did you know that the three stooges' routine was just an extreme version of rock paper and scissors?

-scissors was the eye gouge.

-paper was the face slap (or, when used vertically was the eye gouge block).

-rock was the head bonk or the belly bop.


its more fun to play it that way anyway.

That Championship-and $7.50-will buy you a cup of coffee at StarFucks.

Yeah but what about the paper, rock scissors, Spock Lizard competition?

There was a similar tournament sponsored by one of the beer companies a couple years back. It started in local bars, then there were regional champions, etc. eventually you "won" a trip to Las Vegas to participate in the finals. If I remember right the winner recieved $50,000 as well as having their trip to Las Vegas paid for. I by-the-way lost in three straight throws. Just one of those days...
