Rock.
I wonder what's next. A farting contest?
Snif...
No no no. The scissors get wet, then they rust and fall apart, and the paper scoops up what's next.
I mean, left, not next.
Paper
If you've ever seen the competition on ESPN or whatever, it is hilarious. They have names for their gambits, many of the players have some sort of costume or persona, and the play-by-play is a scream! It's a great excuse for silliness.

Scissors
He who smelt it dealt it (as we used to say)...
I think we got bored of r-p-s when I was a kid so we added a couple of new ones: I think it was gun (index finger and thumb) and match (index finger only).
Let's see...I apologize for the formatting....but here's a game matrix:
R P S G M
R 0 - + - +
P + 0 - + -
S - + 0 - +
G + - + 0 -
M - + - + 0

... and he who denied it supplied it!
