Robert's House of Hamsters

Somewhere between Sacramento, the Oregon border and that tingly feeling in your toes.

Funniest thing I've read in a while...

...is this story on Fox Sports.

It describes five games that could be "the next poker." By that, a common household game that gets a massive boom in popularity and becomes a well-known sport whose top performers become household names. Well, one of the games talked about is rock-paper-scissors, and this right here had me pulling a literal LOL at the Post today:

Here's an excerpt from the society's online rulebook:

For those new to the game, the only acceptable throws are Rock, Paper and Scissors. Any use of Dynamite, Bird, Well, Spock, Water, Match, Fire, God, Lightning, Bomb, Texas Longhorn, or other non-sanctioned throws, will result in automatic disqualification.

Amazing.

You know, I never, ever thought of trying the Texas Longhorn.

Of course, I remember Ben and I would always play Neanderthal rules as a joke..."ro-sham-bo...rocks tie....ro-sham-bo...rocks tie again...ro-sham-bo...rocks tie again..."

People usually rolled their eyes by around the fourth or fifth time. The people that failed history just didn't get it.
