In honor of the new Other Sports Forum and guava_wrench's passion for all sports, I ask you:

What are you most likely to throw down at the count of 3 and why?

I am a rock man, because a rock never gets smashed or cut in half. If I'm going to lose, I want to lose with dignity.

The only thing I'm likely to throw down at the count of three is a neat shot Grey Goose Vodka or Southern Comfort.

I always throw rock, for similar reasons, plus having a piece of paper lay on top of me, isn't really being defeated.

See so far I would have won every time.  Most people pick Rock so paper has the best chance of winning.

Definitely rock.  I mean big flippin deal you covered me with paper...So what?  I'll pick up the rock and the paper and brain you with the whole package.  Paper is lame and should not be victorious over anything (of course that would make the game a lot less interesting)
Yup

Paper because rock is common. It's a mind game people. But if we're going on make-belief reasons then I see paper as the stealthy attack, and stealth is deadly.

No doubt.  I got one last week and it stung like a bugger, but honestly, if you're headed in to a fight would you rather be carrying a rock or a piece of paper (to speak nothing of a pair of scissors).

What, are going to ask your opponent to sit still and hold his jugular out so you can give him a good, deep paper cut wound where it counts?

Useless I tell you!
Yup

True, but paper has some clout, in the "pen is mightier than the sword" type of way.  What good is a pen without paper?
