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.

[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.
Is it sweet?
[Inkspot] Maybe it contains salt.
If this thing were milk or a product thereof, would that make it animal? And if so, eeeeoooo!
Coconut milk?
[Raak]No.
[Bob]Yes, but as a characteristic of the final answer.
[Riff]No.[Zoo Keep]No on both counts.
[Inkspot]No.
[snorgle]No.
[Breadmaster]No.
[Talky]No.
Is it a milk derivative, like yoghurt?
In a sense.
Lassi?
Sour cream?
I have to confess - all this talk of milk and milk derivatives is confusling me, knowing that this is a 'Vegetable/Mineral' thing.
Is it Danone Actimel Yogurt Drink?
or similar done by Yakult healthy bacteria drink.
Is it a product for people who can't have (or don't want) dairy products?
Ahh... Soy Milk.
[Raak]No.
[Khalcy]No. The mineral refers to the minerals you find in milk, like Calcium.
[Inkspot]No.
[Boolbar]No.[Riff]No.

You're following the wrong fish I should mention.

Irn Bru?
Made from girrders!
Mineral water?
Oooh!
A cup of tea?
Coffee?
A frappucino?
Or perhaps a nice hot mug of melted Cheddar?
Cafe Latte extra foam?
Danone Activ?
It is, in fact, Herbie, a plate of steak and chips...
Horlicks?
Yumma!
Is it purchased in liquid form? I'm thinking powdered milk?
I have to say, this is really confusing me...
Hot chocolate?
me too rab - I suppose the next batch of replies might help. Kayl?
Is it a hot chocoalte malt drink?
Is it normally consumed from the recepticle it has been bought in?
I've been trying to join together some of the yes answers with the maybes but to no avail put together they have completley thrown me; is a milk derivitive like yogurt(in a sense), that is a drink, can be served hot, normally served in a bottle, milk is a characteristic of the final answer, can be sold in cans.
Is it a sauce?
Stone soup?
Instant coffee?
which in my opinion is evil.
Is it made from a particular fruit?
Going back a couple of questions as I didn't chase up the 'yes' made from a particular fruit or vegetable.
Lovells milky lunch bar?
Cheesey Peas?
Would it be served in a café?
Oh dear. Having returned after 3 hours, I was rather hoping this one would be wrapped up by now. It is rather reminiscent of the PantsMC game - y'know the sort of thing - no replies for aeons; conflicting clues, etc etc. Some people [no names] used to get a bit tetchy. Great fun.
[snorgle]No.
[Bob]2(No)
[Chalkos]No
[Riff]no
[Angus]No
[Zoo Keep]No
[Bob]No
[rab]Usually liquid, extreme examples can be solid (clue!)
[Chucky]No.
[Inkspot]No.
[Inkspot]It isn't normally consumed.
[Boolbar]No
[Raak]No
[Lib]No
[Inkspot]No, vegetable: grass.
[Dixy]No.
[Boolbar]No
[Chalky] Not if you're lucky. Sorry about this, I've tried to give more clues.
Is it a cleaning product?
Is it some sort of plant food?
[Boolbar]No.
[rab]No.

Ok, you're veering off in the wrong direction here guys. Stick with types of milk.

Does it contain milk from a cow?
[Raak]Any milk is possible, but cow milk is how you've most likely come across it.
Is it mixed with someting else before being a drink?
Definitly a daft question when it is not consumed but is a drink.
Is it for human rather than animals to drink but not consume?
Chalky] ...and while I'm at it...!! who's getting tetchy?
sap?
Does it contain caffeine?
[Inkspot]No.
[Inkspot]Yes. Sorry, I see the confusion. It is a drink, a form of milk, I'm just saying you wouldn't want to drink it.
[Chalky]No.
[Raak]No.
To clarify the clarification: it is a drink in the measure that it is drinkable.
It's not milk of magnesia is it?
I mean, it's a laxative, so you wouldn't want to drink it...
Ibid - Medicinal was eliminated
[Ibid]No, form of cow milk that you wouldn't want to drink.
Is it beestings?
Raak]The sting of bees? No.
Ah, just looked it up. No.
the cud? [as in ...chewing the]
Milk that has gone off?
[Chalky]No.
[Boolbar] YES! YES! YES!
Well done Boolbar, that was quite painful. I was actually thinking of Sour Milk. Have a line:
Hmmmm
You see, I would have answered no to this question.
Sorry about that, I guess you have to set a definition of 'drink'.
Beestings
[Kayl] Beestings is the watery milk that is first produced after a cow has had a calf, a fact which I only know because it was the first or last entry in one of the pages of Chambers Dictionary (Mid-Century Edition, 1953) in our house when I was growing up, and therefore was repeated in the header of the page.
Hmmmm
Not that I was desperate to win that particular round because I have been in the chair quite recently - but my guess of 'Sour Cream' received an unequivocal thumbs down with nary a hint that I might be on the right lines. But I'm not bitter :-) We had 'milk' in a Pants game [sorry to keep banging on about Pantics] and it was definitely an ANIMAL. The bacteria that cause it to go 'off' are arguably animal aswell.
Clarse-ification
I was wondering whether the product of an animal should be defined as animal, and I decided no on the grounds that anything man-made would therefore by extension also be animal.
digging in
Butter? Lamb Chop? Surely anything 'man-made' should be classified by its material composition?
Well yes
Absolutely - hence why it would be inconsistent to describe milk as animal because it's made of minerals but produced by a cow, but a CD mineral cos it's made of plastic and produced by a human.
