Calli, I'm so, so sorry.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

We say "janken pon" for rock paper scissors. Then if there's still a tie, we say "ai kode sho."
I won the tournament in our Japanese language class, beating my later-to-be boss, and playing the Japanese teacher as a result. I think people do have a tell. Generally, if I don't get put out on the first throw, I can win.
Although I haven't played in some time, so this may just be leftover arrogance.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
WRT roshambo: When I was younger I always heard it used to describe the kicking game, but some time after I graduated college things changed and I mostly heard it used to describe rock-paper-scissors.
One of my friends has a brother who plays competitive roshambo (the hand game, not the kicking game). Went to a roshambo convention in Las Vegas one year, and won or something.
Also? Loving Liese's boast.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
You know this is making me wonder whether there is any chance that "Irish Stand-down" in Zelazny's "Lord of Light" was real. (In the book the game was one where characters took turns punching each other. No defense. You take a punch. If you don't fall or if you can get up, the other waits and does not defend themselves, and you punch.) I always assumed it was invented for the book, and was called that as a snarky comment on the way truces tended to work in Northern Ireland at the time. But now I wonder if there was a real turn-taking punching contest that worked that way.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, but how are you at Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard?
