I just added the following message to a strange discussion string that began with my Vassar Blogs site:

As for rock-paper-scissors, back in the day my brother, a friend, and I played an improvisational version wherein you were allowed to bust out any item you wanted at the time of draw — for example, a rocket launcher — and then both participants would mutually agree who wins… Another example: a bomb vs. an M16…that’s a tough one, since the M16 can shoot at the bomb from a distance, forcing it to explode; yet the bomb could blow up the M16 (although in so doing, the bomb kills itself, so maybe it’s a draw in that case). It was a fun variation on the game.
Ahh, the memories. That was a fun game.
