An update: A formal call has been placed to the campaign headquarters of Dan Wachdorf for Childhood Game Specialist telling him of the overwhelming votes in favor of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" as the correct name for the childhood game that should, truly, be used to settle all disputes in a civilized democratic society, as Drew noted in the comments. However, Mr. Wachdorf refuses to concede his defeat, citing a lone, unsubstantiated source at his office that he claims voted for "Paper, Rock, Scissors." Analysts say this is a desperate attempt to avoid admitting that his wife was right. To his credit, this is hard for him to do because she's not right about this stuff very often.
More news as we have it.

Haley,
Here's a saying we use...Steve's always right and I'm never wrong. Hope that helps even though you are right this time.

That's a good one, Aunt Merry Lynn. We'll have to start using it, especially now that we can't play Rock, Paper, Scissors anymore. :)

I really won this election. I want a recount. You have to count the Hanging Chads!!! The ballot was confusing. The voting machines were rigged. . .

Why don't you play "ROCK, paper, sissors" to settle it.

Hey Haley! I was looking through your Supporting My Troops section, and I got down to the very first entry in the section. It was from 5 months ago today (Jan. 7, 2005) saying that you talked to Aaron for maybe the last time in a long time... wow, things have changed a lot in 5 months! Hope everything is going well with the Rice's (and Wachdorf's ;-))! Bye!

Hey Haley, I'm late in casting my vote, but Josh says it is definitely "Paper, Rock, Scissors." He told me he very much hopes that you do not bring up your children to say "Rock, Paper, Scissors" because that would be a crime against your children...

WHAT? Oh, this messes everything up. Now I am wondering if this Paper Rock Scissors business is a New Mexico thing. In that case, our kids are just going to be all kind of confused. Thanks a lot, Josh, for taking away my certainty here. :)
