The evening news reported that there will be a "rock, paper, scissors" championship tournament
in Beijing this summer to coincide with the Olympic games.
After initially thinking the anchor was telling me that RPS was an actual Olympic game, I wanted to slit my wrists.
"What the fuck is next," I thought. "Staring contests?"
After a little research, I discovered the following:
www.worldrps.com - The official strategy guide
Are you shittin' me? You've got three fucking choices.
With a few more clicks, I found this:
www.petitiononline.com/2016rps/petition.html - an actual on-line petition to include RPS as an Olympic sport for the 2016 games.
I did not add my name to the list of supporters
And finally, one of the saddest things I've ever seen...

After realizing there were more than 400,000 links devoted to RPS, I have come to the conclusion that alot of people have way too much time on their hands. And considering I spent my valuable time surfing the subject, so do I.

Hey, at least 'joggling' never made it as an olympic sport. Given that precendent, I don't think RPS really has any chance at all. It's not a sport. Period. You can argue that some folks who play a sport are not much in the way of athletes, but this would be ridiculous. I can be fun to play, but so is Monopoly. It's a game, not a sport.

Is anyone else reading what Doug is saying? Anyone? Anyone? Oh yeah, maybe Ferris is.
