Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game
help
The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

Taking coals to Newcastle?
Does it involve communication?
(Boolbar) This game itself must be Abstract, possibly with Mineral connections. No pun intended.
Is it something people generally will pay for ?
thought i would add my rare tuppence worth over here.
[Boolbar] Yes.
[Inkspot] Not inherently.
[Raak] What?
[Rosie] Yes.
[st d] No.
is it Pi?
Is in an email?
[Riff] I guess that's a no. (To take coals to Newcastle, erstwhile centre of the former British coalmining industry, is like selling refridgerators to Eskimos.)
Is it something that people do?
Is it an internet chatroom?
Selling sand to Arabia
Software?
[Bob] No.
[rab] No.
[Raak] Ah, I see. 'No' is correct.
[Raak] Oog. Nnno... and then again, yes. Put it this way: it's a noun that's frequently verbed. That's probably a real giveaway, right there.
[Bigsmith] No. [Software] Well, no, but some might argue.
Does it need electricity to operate?
Is it a browser?
[Bob] Yes.
[Inkspot] No.
By 'computer' do we mean a traditional desktop device, in the main? If not, is it an SMS text?
A mobile phone ring tone?
[rab] Yes we do.
[Raak] No.
Is it Google?
Is it websurfing?
Bing bing bing!
Google it is! Kayl takes the win!
Oh, and here's a line:
- where are you?
Congrats! - Btd.
kayl
I think he's hiding.. Is that him?
Right here
Sorry, temperamental computer here. I'm afraid the noun/verb did rather give it away. Ok new one: Mineral/Vegetable is probably the best way of describing it.
Is it edible?
Is the vegetable part wood?
Is it smaller than an average sized collie dog?
A salted peanut?
Is it hand made?
Is it a diamond-studded carrot?
you never know..
...or anything to do with Belgium?
BNob? Argh!
Btd - Heh heh heh!
[Btd]YES. Damn, too easy. [Boolbar] No. [Chalky] Size doesn't really come into it. [Raak] No. [Inkspot] To a certain extent, but I wouldn't follow that fish. [snorgle] No, but what a fantastic idea. [Bnob] I first came across it in Belgium as it happens, but no, it's not essentially Belgian.
Can you buy it in a supermarket?
Is it something that can be drunk?
[Schalky] Yes.
[Boolbar] Yes.
Is it alcoholic?
Is it some sort of flavoured mineral water?
Is the mineral part the glass container of the liquid?
Wine?
[rab]No.
[Raak]No.
[Boolbar]No.
[Chaskly]No.
Is it a 'fast' food?
Or a soup?
Is it sold in cans?
[BtD]1. It can be served pretty fast.
2.No.
[Inkspot]It can be.
Is it seafood?
Coca-Cola? [or pepsi Cola]
Is water the mineral part?
I'd opt for Whole Earth Organic Cola with real cola nut extract. Is it that?
Oh my goodness, I sound like a hippy. Man.
Is it Bed Bull?
[Boolbar]No.
[UnChalk]No.
[Raak]No.
[Bob]No, sounds lovely though.
[Inkspot] No.
Although it can be drunk, is it generally regarded as a drink?
Tonic Water?
Is it Goldshlager?
You know, that cinnamon spirit with gold flecks. Is that even healthy, imbibing a heavy metal?
Is it served hot?
Does it contain tomato?
Is it fizzy?
[rab]Yes, but I'd continue along this line of questioning if I were you.
[Pchalky] No. [snorgle]Sounds lovely, but no. [Inkspot]It can be. [Breadmaster]No.
Woop, sorry.
[Boolbar] No.

I really can't get the hang of these < br > breaks.

Is it Norfolk Punch?
No.
Is it a dip to accompany food?
Not conventionally.
Is it normally served in a bottle?
Is it savoury?
[Ibid]Yes.
[Shorty]No.
Is it medicinal?
Soya sauce?
Does it contain cheese?
Is is made from a particular fruit or vegetable?
[Bob] I can never decide whether to put Bob or BtD, no. [Raak]No. [Boolbar]I can't give you that. [Inkspot] Yes.
[Boolbar] Yes that was a hint.
Does it contain lemons?
Is it milk?
Kayl] Put 'Bob'. I sometimes use Btd (never BtD). Bob's nice, I like 'Bob'.
[i]Egg Nog?[/i]
D'oh. Stupid chat-board meta-tags. Egg Nog.
Is it milkshake?
smoothie?
Is it a fondue?
Moving off at a tangent and trying to tie up in my mind, Boolbar - Is the mineral part the glass container of the liquid? (no), and Ibid - Is it normally served in a bottle?(yes)
soya milk?
Riff - if you put your answer in the bit that says Apropos you don't need tags - its automatically italicised.
