    Hmmm i tend to believe the exact opposite of what the Metro says,.... don't even acknowledge the herald am... How proud would you feel with a gold medal in Rock Paper Scissors??

    Edit: Actually wait, that'd be class, you'd never have to put the kettle on/go to the shop etc. again, you would win all arguements with it...

    They were showing on the news the other night, some lawyer or something wants to start the Irish Game, all he is looking for is sponsership, the games will include the 500m crawl race and the 3 legged hurdle jump. Like WTF!!

    but rock paper sissors sounds like fun, least we took gold in something, when the homecoming to welcome them back , i want to challange them!

    Here's a story about it. It's just a silly competition/promotion sponsored by a watered down girly version of a watered down beer.

    Remember one drunken night after a game of cards with friends we all started these ridiculous bets with each other. High Cards and Coin Toss the like.

    Then the Paper Rock Scissors started... One fella lost close to 50 euro, we were all in stiches as he kept trying to win back the fiver he had just lost.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 531 ✭✭✭Sarah**


    50 Euro!! Hilarious! It is really frustrating though!!!

    ah yes Rock Paper Scissors.

    You think its bad its an olympic event ?

    In Korea people use Rock, paper, scissors to decide EVERYTHING.

    Honestly, anyone has an argument about anything, chances are they will decide it by rock paper scissors.

    Out drunk at night you see 40 year old men deciding who pays the bill this way, I have seen policemen use it on the street, Drinking games based on it.
