Rochambeau

Posted by Eric Tan on Jan 13, 2009 in Browsing Web

There was a simple game we used to play when we need to decide a winner, or to determine who start a game 1st.

“Lomm Chum Buss..” or some say “Lomm Cum Put”.. or any other variation..

Now, finally I found how to spell it. Rochambeau or Roshambo. So french!

As I research more, I found that it could mean another game.. Nuts kicking game: “two players taking turns kicking each other’s genitals. The first player to fall down in pain loses”. well, different method, same objective! (or maybe not? )

ouch...

Luckily, the more gentle version was brought into my childhood instead of the latter..

And then, I found some creative use of Rochambeau too:

“… The D.C.-area taco chain California Tortilla offered a promotional discount that we find especially admirable, given our love of the sport: any customer who beats the cashier in a game of Rock Paper Scissors receives $1 off an entree…”

Why don’t Yakun offer that?!

Anyway, prepare yourself 1st (read the 210 pages guide!), and wait for the right chance to come. No, I’m not referring to the kicking game..
