Thinking I might need one more reason to be proud of my beleaguered state, a friend sent me this.
An all-Michigander final! Chin up Yoopers and Trolls. We are not only surrounded by the largest concentration of fresh water in the world. We also rock at Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Tim Conrad and the “Elite 47″ Dominant at the Dance, Yanis repeats as Street RPS Champion!
How often have you played your best friend in RPS? A thousand throws. Ten thousand throws? For every last piece of pizza and shotgun seat? Now how often have you played your best friend for a World Championship in front of a record crowd with $7,000 on the line? That was the unlikely finish to an amazing 2009 Yahoo! Rock Paper Scissors World Championships as Tim Conrad took the championship in an head-to-head showdown with his teammate and lifelong best friend Tom Butkin. Decked out in a patriotic muscle suit, Conrad waded through the sold out crowd of 512 competitors in Toronto to end up having to face his teammate and fellow Michigander in one last duel. It was a dominant performance by Conrad who combined a scissors-exclusionary strategy with a lethal Avalanche – Bureaucrat combination to win a decisive victory in straight sets. However the clear victors were “The Elite 47″ who claim the first all-American final, the first all-team final, and the highest overall team finish ever.
