Winners Losers and Stephen Hawking

debate points: They take turns tossing out quiz gambits and then race each other to come up with clinching debate points -- ding! A bit like lightning chess or speed-dating or a low-rent kitchen-table mock-up of a TV game show, according to Vancouver Observer. The name of the game is Winners and Losers. Two 40-ish bro sit at opposite ends of a table, each equipped with a chrome plated ding bell. Each player gets to pick some "random" topic -- microwave ovens, Stephen Hawking, masturbation, Beyoncé, whatever. The byplay feels very sketchy and extempore, although in fact much of it is scripted. They then race each other to convincingly peg it as a Winner or a Loser -- ding! -- with a deft epigram or two.
