We can try it, but won't that make us all a bit too...paranoid?

How about a version of "What's My Line?" The panel asks questions,
the mystery guest fires back an answer or a flame. You lose points 
on each flame. After 30 points, he/she is revealed! For example:

Panel 1: 	"Mystery guest, were you ever an academic?"
Mystery Guest:	"You feeble shit, academics suck!"

Panel 2: 	"Mystery guest, are you reading bodice rippers to
		prepare for Mason & Dixon?"
MG:		"Yes"

Panel 3: 	"Do you critique bodice rippers for a living?"
MG:		"You feeble shit, academics suck!"

And so on. It might be "ripping" good fun...
