Don't Bet Against Paper (He Lost With Scissors)
Man Wins 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' Contest:
SARASOTA, Fla. - It all came down to this: Jason Wood threw a 'rock,' crushing Erin Smith's 'scissors' and earning him a trip to Las Vegas.
Wood, a 34-year-old server at an oyster bar, emerged from a field of 29 competitors to win the southwest Florida regional finals of the 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' tournament Thursday night at a local country music nightclub, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported in Friday's editions.
Now he's off to Vegas to compete in the national tournament and a chance to win $50,000.
In case you missed it, 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' � that same hand-to-hand game used to settle childhood disputes � is an organized sport now. The rules are the same: Rock smashes scissors. Paper smothers rock. Scissors cut paper.
In the finals, Wood took the first round, Smith the second. Wood went with the 'rock' and took the rubber match.
'I'm on top of the world!' he said.
More than 300 people from across the country will compete in the April 9 tournament at the Luxor Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas."

I volunteer at a non-profit organization (Therapeutic Horsemanship -- thstl.org) where disabled kids come to ride horses for therapy and we would very much like to have something for them and their siblings to do during their "off" time. We do have a waiting room, but need some creative things for them to work with while a volunteer directs the process.
Would you consider donating ANYTHING for this project? We could certainly use stamps, papers, embellishments, books, tags, bags, samples, and any discontinued items, etc. for them.
Thank you in advance for any consideration you might be able to give.
If you require more information, please don't hesitate to contact me at:
