I've just got word from a credible source (Heinz Tomato actually) that because cricket season is yet to start, the NRL has finished, as has the AFL, because there's no Olympics/Seasonal Olympics/Para-lympics/swimming competition, and because still no one cares about Australian soccer, channels 10, 9 and 7 are in a fierce auction for the 2006 Pabst Blue Ribbon Keystone State Rock Paper Scissors Championship to be held in everyone's favourite city of Philadelphia (made famous by Tom Hanks playing a person with AIDS and ... well, really only that) on October 14.

To show your support for this world renowned sport, you can by this great and horrific t-shirt!

Without a doubt everyone should go along to watch the championships of the most competed in sport (not that 'wannabe' most competed sport soccer/football (they can't even get their name right!)). The competitors are all vying for the massive $1200, a trophy and a title (it sounds awfully like The 18 Cup, only, the "benefactors" aren't so stingey).

Expect to see this filling your prime-time screens soon, especially withe play-offs to the grand final. Of course, it will be prime-time because 10, 9 and 7 all bury their good shows in the deep of night.
