Especially if the troll gets his turn. |

My understanding of Roshambeaux is, the two contenders square off and take turns kicking the other in the nuts as absolutly as hard as they can. The one left standing wins . |

A lot of people think Roshambo is Japanese for Rock Paper Scissors, which it isn't. Well, at least when I went to school. You can imagine a lot of people's surprise when they said we'd Roshambo to see who got to go up to bat first, and I kicked them in the crotch.

Actually I'm kinda curious if my Halloweener wanna-bees in my group accidentally initiated themselves into the Halloweeners with their explosive detonation of a truck bomb followed by two gas mains while trying to infiltrate a base...
I believe initiating into the Halloweener involves burning buildings...so this may qualify. |

Incidentally, the Japanese call 'rock paper scissors' "janken": じゃん拳
Oh, and, uh, first post. :D |

Not that I believe everything that I read on the Internet, but the only references I found on a quick search to Roshambo (Rochambeau) being the "Kick in the nuts endurance contest" were in reference to South Park or some variation thereof. The amount of Roshambo references in terms of Rock-Paper-Scissors are far more diverse and not related to any TV show. I'm not sure which to believe, but the Wikipedia says it's both:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochambeau Note, again, that kicking in the crotch is directly referenced to South Park. This humorous joke has been around for a long time in various forms. For example: "Let's play who can hit each other the softest. You go first..." "Okay. *tap*" "*WHAM* I lose." Another interesting (and useless) link about Rock-Paper-Scissors: http://www.worldrps.com/ |

Just a crude version of a punching contest. BFD.

I'm pretty sure that I first heard the term in reference to a ball-kicking contest before South Park existed. I've never heard it in reference to Rock Scissors Paper.

I want to be punched by a troll very little. I want to stand there and be kicked in the groin by one even less. |

Befor you start, Stuff a pouch of holding down your pants and wear an athletic cup over it. will still be as painfull, but with the family jewels literally kept nice and safe in an extradimensional space, you'll still be able to reproduce... eventually |

Unless of course the shock from the impact causes a short circuit in the bag of holding...but if the bag were to malfunction I doubt you'd feel anything for a while (due to the sharp pain of everything AROUND the now sheared-off portion)

True, but danger can be found in Everything, especially kicking a Troll in the Balls

Oh you'd feel something for a while, alright. Something like being pulled into the astral plane through a hole the size of your fist, balls first. :eek: |

The possibilities are endless...
"I'd be more worried about what would happen if your bag of holding got too close to her portable hole." "Your nuts might be safe, but we're talking about a _troll_ here. He takes that kick, and it's going to be everything between your nuts and your neck crammed into that bag. And that's when the soccer game starts." "That's a great idea. Send yout balls to the astral plane for safe keeping. Yeah, you heard me. Send your balls. To the astral plane. Send. Your. Balls. Doesn't sound like such a good idea anymore." "Feh. Amateur. I've got a dikoted jockstrap." "The label reads: Warning: Not for genital application." |

So does that mean that if a shedim happens to be in the area, he might wake up the next morning with posessed balls? Now that's bound to lead to some interesting moments. |

I'd be sorely tempted to secretly replace his Bag of Holding with a Bag of Devouring.

Gang initiations to nads and bags of holding. That's quite a drift.

Oh, were we talking about gang initiation?
Besides, we've finally reached the dikoted <insert inappropriate object/body part here> stage so I think we can move on... |

Okay, here's one that (ahem) friends of mine actually did if one lost a bet:
The initiate is taken to the bar of the gang's choice, and must pick-up, take home, and umm....close escrow with any one chosen BY THE GANG. Get the idea? Typically, the act itself was recorded secretly for umm... insurance purposes. |
