I just found out that there is a Rock Paper Sissors Championship!

I can picture Shawn and Gus there, blending with the crazy crowd, doing their thing.

Writers, Can you make something out of this? I'd think so!

i bet shawn would win

just like in who ya gonna call lol i love that the guys like BAWLiNG!!! and shawn and gus are like best two out of three lol

That would be awesome , Shawn would probably win with ease using his observation skills to see a pattern in his opponents choices

There was Gus blog about this - -

NOTHING BEATS ROCK

Under most circumstances, I would have to say that Shawn and I are pretty much on the same page. Yeah, I know it might not seem like it, but despite my initial resistance to almost everything he gets us mixed up in, usually things work out.

Except, perhaps, that thing at the Mexican border.

There are times, however, when we're at an impasse, and that's when we "Go to the 'Ro" ... Roshambo. Because when you get down to it, Rock-Paper-Scissors is the perfect way to end a stalemate, mostly because I'm way better at it than Shawn.

Now, since I know many of you are wondering, Roshambo actually comes from the Old French word, R'eau Shambeaux, meaning "hand contest" and is said to have been invented by Frankish King Clovis I, who needed a method of deciding which regions he would conquer first.

Roshambo underwent many changes during those turbulent times, finally becoming the game as we know by the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne, who used it extensively and inadvertently saw to its proliferation across most of western Europe ... which a few hundred years later led to the collapse of the Roman Empire at the hands (literally) of its many enemies. How's that for irony?

Shawn thinks that story is boring, and that's why he loses when we go to the 'Ro. As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to learn about something, learn everything. Erudition is the competitive edge. Remember that.

Now, if you see a stalemate coming, it's best to get yourself into the Roshambo headspace. I usually get going with a few pre 'Ro hand exercises, such as the Elbow Snap or the Wrist Roll. This way, when I throw ('Rospeak for showing your hand), it's crisp and assured. A limp hand is almost always a perceived sign of weakness, and will definitely lead to your defeat.

In addition, you can sometimes gain an advantage by getting into your opponent's head, and making a few seemingly casual remarks such as, "hey man, it's good day for paper", or the classic bluff "Nothing beats rock."

But be warned, the psychological angle has its limitations, so don't become too reliant on it. In the words of 2003 World Rock Paper Scissors Champion Rob Krueger, "It's best not to show your hand until you have to show your hand."

Krueger's words ring true, indeed, but if you're looking to really move into the next 'Ro realm, you might want to remember the immortal words of 'Ro Platinum Pillar Grand Master Shavi Chandramouleeswaran, who said, "Rock-Paper- Scissors could be called 'antitransitive' because if A strictly defeats B, and B strictly defeats C, A necessarily loses against C. This, my children, is non-transivity. Now, go forth and procreate."

That's what I'm talking about. It all comes down to the math. Again, the competitive edge is brought. It's why I rule.

I suppose I've given you a lot on the science of 'Ro, and I know it's a lot to take in, but here's just a couple of little things to remember:

When you throw, remember to keep your rock tight. A loose rock could be mistaken as an attempt at throwing a crumpled paper, which is a definite no-no. And speaking of paper, remember to keep it flat, and always palm down. Throwing paper palm up will deeply offend your opponent (especially if your hand isn't clean) and is a great way to get socked.

Finally, remember a scissors is only a scissors if the finger vertex is greater than 35 degrees. Otherwise, it's just two fingers pointing, an instant forfeit.

I've explained all this to Shawn so many times. He just glazes over. Can you believe that? Then he asks if we can flip a coin, but no way.

Flipping coins is for suckers.

Well now they have to do an ep with that
