Rock, Paper, Scissors explained .....

Mo wrote:

PS, I understand how scissors can beat paper and I get how a rock can beat scissors. But there's no smurfing way that paper can beat a rock. Is paper supposed to magically wrap around rock and leave it immobile? Why can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why cant paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they're taking notes in class? I'll tell you why: Because paper can't beat anybody. A rock would tear that smurf up in two seconds. When I play Rock, Paper, Scissors, I always choose rock. Then, when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper, I can punch them with my already clenched fist and say, "Oh smurf, I'm sorry. I thought paper would protect you, smurf."

You killed it. Memes cannot be labeled or called until after they are established.
