Cockroach, Foot, Nuclear Bomb
Friday. 1.20.06 6:34 pm
Scissors, paper, stone. The age-old decider of who has to eat the mouldy chip or who gets to be the designated driver. A classic game played by many.

But not anymore.

It's time to get with it. Did you not watch the episode of That '70s Show featuring Hyde's brainchild? Cuz short of being trapped in an underground bomb shelter for the last 10 years, there's really no excuse.

That's right. Now it's "Cockroach, Foot, Nuclear Bomb". And it's been this way for the past two years or so. So forgive me for sneering at you for starting the count with "Sciiiisors..."

And because I'm frankly quite sick of having to explain it over and over again to the cableless uninitiated, I'll do it just one last time. Here. With pictures. So let no one say that I care nothing for my readers.

Right. Pay attention, my hatchlings.

The three elements (courtesy of Laura):

COCKROACH
skitter

FOOT
stomp

NUCLEAR BOMB
boom


The rest is pure logic. Foot stomps on Cockroach, Nuclear Bomb destroys Foot, and Cockroach survives Nuclear Bomb.



It's really not rocket science.

Cockroach, Foot, Nuclear Bomb
J and I use the "scissors-paper-stone" way to decide who pays for lunch and dinner. But we shall try "cockroach-foot-nuclear bomb" tonight :) BTW, was just wondering why you address your readers "hatchlings". Reminded me of my >100 river terrapin hatchlings, hahahah :)

pelf: Hurrah for you! Do you play loser-pays (like me), or do you prefer winner-pays (I like going out for meals with these sort of people)?
Re. hatchlings - it's a well-known fact that zebras (v2.0) lay eggs.
» theZEBRA on 2006-01-20 05:44:33

My buddy invented one of those... It's called "thumbs up, middlefinger, heavy metal sign." Middle finger always wins.
» JJ (68.83.172.211) on 2006-01-20 06:45:33

Yes, loser pays. But I always win ;)
» pelf (60.48.68.230) on 2006-01-20 08:30:26

JJ: Ah, excellent game that. I play it all the time. Especially during traffic jams. But I always seem to tie with my game-partners.

pelf: I have much to learn from you then. Cuz I always end up having to fetch the drinks. You must tell me how this one worked out for you at dinner.
» theZEBRA on 2006-01-20 09:05:27

Hmm...
But what if the guy is a leadfoot?
» DeeVeuS on 2006-01-20 11:47:05

Your photos look more like 'Poke your eyes out', 'Scratch your face' and 'Grab your balls'. I'd say 'Grab your balls' trumps them all. Whatever happened to 'Whose shoe is a dirty shoe, please go out and wash your dirty shoe'? Or the hands facing upwards-facing downwards one, with the untype-able chant?
» Jay (217.37.171.17) on 2006-01-20 01:35:35

DeeVeuS: But what is a leadfoot? Other than a foot made of lead, which I doubt you mean.

Jay: Someone here's got major agro issues. And regarding the other two - well, Jay, you are <whisper> A WHOLE DECADE(!!!) </whisper> older than me. *Cue evil laughter*
Anyway, we did the "A-E-I-O-U, gorilla loves you" when I was in kiddie school. And I never liked the last one - I always lost. :_(
» theZEBRA on 2006-01-20 06:30:10

LOL LOL LOL Um but foot and nuclear bomb are a bit similar, makes room for tons of cheating.
» Laynie (219.95.165.10) on 2006-01-20 07:02:18

*referring to the above comment by Laynie*

True, true, there were room for cheating and all due to the fact that we haven't gotten used to it yet :) But we had a good laugh because J hates roaches, so he repeatedly did the roach sign hoping that I would give him the foot sign :)
» pelf (60.48.68.230) on 2006-01-20 11:24:52

Laynie: How? The foot faces downwards whereas the nuclear bomb faces upwards.
Maybe there should be some sound effects action to clarify things more, like "doooosh" (foot), "kaBOOM" (bomb), and *SCREEEEAM* (roach).

pelf: J sounds very much like Fez then. Anyhoo, ample room for cheating is what makes games fun. :D
» theZEBRA on 2006-01-21 12:03:59

Hmmm.... interesting... ok i will go out and "nuclear bomb" those idiots off the face of the earth....... nuclear bomb aka balls grabbing
» Beer Brat (202.156.6.85) on 2006-01-21 05:21:52

Beer Brat: Sounds like you're just taking advantage of unsuspecting balls. ;)
» theZEBRA on 2006-01-21 06:44:47

hahah! do you watch the 70s show too? 2 months back, i just finished watching all 6 seasons of it, non-stop. fez always loses ;)
» bUttsH4k3r (62.252.224.16) on 2006-01-21 06:56:09

buttsh4k3r: I've got a friend who's got it all on cds. V convenient, friends like him. "The cockroach always wins!"
» theZEBRA on 2006-01-21 08:33:52

hmm
LOLL... so the funn
» cyber-red (219.94.117.121) on 2006-01-21 09:31:08

Ah the mighty foot which can crush the might cockroach which can survive the mighty nuclear bomb which can smithereen the mighty foot which can...
» (219.95.154.195) on 2006-01-21 01:30:04

Ah smart of me to comment without filling out the form. That up there was me.
» Laynie (219.95.154.195) on 2006-01-21 01:30:40

i almost understand
but just because the cockroach can survive, how would it beat nuclear bomb? with that combo, both users would win.
» middaymoon on 2006-01-21 01:52:49

foot kills the roach, which gets busted by the nuclear bomb. but the roach can survive a nuclear bomb; not after getting hit by one, a post nuke.
» bUttsH4k3r (62.252.224.16) on 2006-01-21 02:31:30

cyber-red: Yes, now you have a funner way of deciding which side serve-starts the game.

Laynie: Yes, you've got it! You clever hatchling you. Remember tho, the foot's gotta face downwards to smoosh the roach, while the bomb faces upwards for maximum explosioney effect.

middaymoon: Post-nuclear roaches, as the lore goes, are grotesquely-mutated creatures. If they don't evolve into something with killer powers, their sheer ugliness (yes, impossible as it is to believe, they WILL get uglier) alone will kill all humans around. No humans = no nuclear bombs. The cockroach is all-powerful.

buttsh4k3r: Anything that can survive for 3 days without its head laughs at a post-nuclear stinkhole.

BTW, you've been tagged! ;)
» pelf (60.48.69.97) on 2006-01-22 10:10:24

how do you know this information?
» dave on 2006-01-23 12:27:35

pelf: Oh booger. :)

dave: Zebras (v2.0) and post-nuke roaches have been sworn enemies since the first nuclear bomb exploded.
» theZEBRA on 2006-01-23 03:13:50

Yeah, this is kinda late, but a leadfoot is someone who loves to put the pedal to the medal and just speed like crazy. Preferably in a residential area.
» DeeVeuS on 2006-01-23 09:01:32

DeeVeus: I assume that speeding cars driven by leadfeet squash roaches equally well.
» theZEBRA on 2006-01-23 09:34:14

Ooooooooookay then
Someone has waaaaaaay too much time on their hands.... glad i'm not the only one!!!!
» Kahne_Earnhardt_Fan on 2006-01-25 11:07:48

Kahne_Earnhardt_Fan: Yes well, one must always take time to educate the public. *Grin*
