Caught in an embarassing flame war with a ridiculous moron about some trivial subject like techno music or furbiling? Want to settle the issue once and for all, in a way that preserves everyone's dignity and honor? Well, then, my friend, the answer is clear: ROSHAMBO for it!
This time-honored tradition has been used to settle insoluble disputes large and small -- from the shotgun seat to Alsace-Lorraine to dynamic vs. static binding. And now this powerful mediation technique is available on the fantastical WORLD WIDE WEB. Huzzah for that!
So tell that loudmouth that if he really thinks that the 1972 A's are the best team ever, or that his little band of hooligans can really govern Kosovo, then he better put his digital money where his mouth is and ROSHAMBO for it. You can disport yourself with honor and get the question settled before the world.

It’s election night. My wife and I are holed-up in this hotel that my political party has rented out for the evening. Outside, people are being violently beaten for whom they voted for.
