Either Alfie or Abe/Vic is gonna come on and make some sarcastic comment about how behind the times I am.
Posted by Brock, 00:05, 7th July 2004:
 
Well. You are. But in this instance, you seem to have found something first.

Frankly I am shocked, I have to confess, but you may have done it.
Posted by WarHead, 00:12, 7th July 2004:
 
Nah, they'll come in and say they saw it on the day Sadman's interview was broadcast. Bastards!

Unless of course, you have just invented 'Rock,Paper,Sodomy' and are trying to get Brockles to play.
Posted by WarHead, 08:58, 7th July 2004:
 
This is very worrying.

Surely brick beats forehead.
Posted by Brock, 10:49, 7th July 2004:

That may be true, but I was only copying what was on the site ....with a typo.
Posted by Alfie, 12:39, 7th July 2004:
 
Always known it as Rock, Paper, Scissors.

I used to play it as Nik Nak Nok. So instead of saying "1... 2..." and going on "3" you say "Nik... Nak..." and go on "Nok". Far more enjoyable.
Posted by jeff, 13:26, 7th July 2004:
 
its definately paper scissors stone, catatonia say so and so does this site
Posted by Sul, 13:41, 7th July 2004:
 
Sorry to bitch slap your little theory jeffica but this site looks better and is therefore more correct.
Posted by su, 13:49, 7th July 2004:
 
actually you are all wrong it's:

Rock
Paper
Scissors
su wins by poking you in the eye

happpy now?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 14:06, 7th July 2004:
 
Sorry to bitch slap you right back on Jeffs behalf, Daniel. I believe this quote from the same page invalidates your opinion:

Available in North American bookstores in October 2004.

Since when did North Americans know how to name/pronounce/spell correctly?
Posted by jeff, 14:11, 7th July 2004:
 
thank you victor. and OH LOOK, the prices for the World RPS store are all in dollars..

Posted by Sul, 14:38, 7th July 2004:
 
It's true. I do have an overrated opinion of myself.
Posted by jeff, 14:39, 7th July 2004:
 
yeah but if you didnt then you might end up killing yourself...
Posted by Sul, 14:42, 7th July 2004:
 
I'm not hard enough to kill myself. My self-harm phase only lasted one accidental lighter burn.

In a number of places, however, for example, Edinburgh, Norwich, and Petersfield, they also make the signs 'rain', bunching their fingers and pointing them downwards, and 'fire', pointing their fingers upwards. 'Rain' puts out 'fire' and rusts 'scissors', while fire burns 'paper' and blackens 'stone'.... Whoever wins each time wets his first and second fingers by licking them, pulls back his opponent's sleeve, and smacks his bare wrist good and hard, an operation which is more painful than those who have not experienced it might imagine.

in other words, it would appear that the part of the country that you come from determines whether you prefer rock paper scissors or scissors paper stone. I think that the one with rain and fire sounds good.

Rock - from Old North French "roque"

I concede.
Posted by Alfie, 15:40, 7th July 2004:
 
rock is american! yeah cos that word never existed here before America did it? :D

They don't call it stoneclimbing either
Posted by Alfie, 15:41, 7th July 2004:
 
where we went to school it was exclusively Rock, Paper, Scissors.

And no I didn't go to school stateside. As that site says, regional variations innit.
Posted by jeff, 15:54, 7th July 2004:
 
i just meant in daily use, english people would more likely call it a stone, americans wouldnt ever see small stones and call them stones, they'd say 'rock'.

I always believed rocks were like big things you found on cliffs and sticking out of the sea.. and i mean big, like bigger than stonehenge, which in person is a little disappointing.
Posted by Sul, 15:56, 7th July 2004:
 
I agree that stonehenge is better left to the imagination.

Art Garfunkel thinks it's scissors, paper, rock.
Posted by su, 00:17, 8th July 2004:

What does Paul Simon say?
Posted by Brock, 09:36, 8th July 2004:
 
Something about shoes. And diamonds. I don't think he's the full ticket, personally.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 09:38, 8th July 2004:

Posted by Brock, 09:48, 8th July 2004:
 
Oh, you're the obvious child!

Loads, actually. However, I'm entitled to my opinion. And I have a HOOGE record collection, some of which is decent stuff.


woah, that's our rosie? she's really cute.


Indeed. Are those Tescos pants?
Posted by Saltation, 10:48, 9th July 2004:
